  1. But yeah I'm fairly disappointed by how the Celestia doesn't put any sort of effort into combat in the present.

    1. @nerthos she did against Chrysalis

      1. @mushi At which point she got her ass whooped. She wasn't even trying.

        1. @mrmattimation yes, because blah blah blah the power of love was to strong blah blah blah

      2. @mushi What she did against Chrysalis can barely be called combat. She just stood there and casted a beam. She could have easily flown around her shooting death rays like the ones NMM used to wreck the castle until Chrysalis became a mangled carcass. I refuse to believe a thousand years old ageless being can be so bad at combat without deliberately trying. Without aging, time just makes you better at controlling your body.

        1. @nerthos well, see it like this :1000 years ago equestria had discord and sombra and who knows what else. But since them the royalty did nothing other than reading friendship reports. Maybe her skills are rusty

          1. @mushi She got fat is what you're saying

            Tuesday, 26-Nov-13 10:21:46 UTC from web
            1. @mrmattimation she doesnt look fat

              Tuesday, 26-Nov-13 10:22:44 UTC from web
              1. @mushi Celestia's so god damn fat that she causes the sun to revolve around Equestria with her big fat ass

                1. @mrmattimation ALL HAIL SUN BUTT!

            2. @mrmattimation For 1000 years she forgot that cake is a sometimes food.

          2. @mushi Muscle memory doesn't go away unless you just lay down until your body deteriorates.

            1. @nerthos that is what i said, shes dont nothing other than getting silly friendship reports and eating cake

              Tuesday, 26-Nov-13 10:27:42 UTC from web
              1. @mushi She constantly travels and flies around as shown in a couple of episodes, and uses magiv for a bunch of stuff on a daily basis.

                1. @nerthos daily life magic is different from combat magic. It is like saying a cook would be a good swordman for knowing how to use a knife

                  Tuesday, 26-Nov-13 10:33:56 UTC from web
                  1. @mushi She could always ram with her horn if magic isn't her forte.

                    Tuesday, 26-Nov-13 10:36:01 UTC from web
            2. @nerthos that's not to say magic is like muscle memory at all.

              Tuesday, 26-Nov-13 10:29:24 UTC from web
              1. @pony I've always believed that magic is something you gotta work out like any other body part

                Tuesday, 26-Nov-13 10:30:35 UTC from web
                1. @mrmattimation It may be a combination. Twi seemed to get good at it by both study and practice.

                  Tuesday, 26-Nov-13 10:31:32 UTC from web
              2. @pony Wasn't talking about magic. I was talking about casting spells while standing idle instead of moving around as to be a harder target.

                Tuesday, 26-Nov-13 10:31:02 UTC from web
                1. @nerthos ah I see xD

                  Tuesday, 26-Nov-13 10:31:49 UTC from web
        2. @nerthos She has also shown that she's adept at dark magic and casts it without effort in the Crystal Empire episode and can shift to another plane at will in the S3 finale. She's either being really, really lazy, or she's partially responsible of all the papayas that happens.

          1. @nerthos S4 finale involves Twilight and the gang uncovering a conspiracy in which Celestia is behind all the bad mangoes that's happened recentky

          3. @nerthos S4 finale involves Twilight and the gang uncovering a conspiracy in which Celestia is behind all the bad kiwi that's happened recently

          4. @mrmattimation @mushi @nerthos My headcanon is that she's almost always relied on the elements of harmony to defend her kingdom from powerful evil, but she sought a pony to take her place in Twilight Sparkle.

            Tuesday, 26-Nov-13 10:25:40 UTC from web
            1. @pony It's clear that her body is far above average, without help from the elements, when she takes a death ray capable of blowing up castle walls to the chest and just walks it off. It's true that other characters are also really resilent, like RD, but she's even tougher.

              Tuesday, 26-Nov-13 10:30:15 UTC from web
              1. @nerthos she is awesome that way. I think she's probably just not gifted at offensive magic. Cant really use a screwdriver to do a hammer's job and such.

                Tuesday, 26-Nov-13 10:33:26 UTC from web
                1. @pony So far she's been shown to be better at basically every spell than the other characters.

                  Tuesday, 26-Nov-13 10:35:36 UTC from web
                  1. @nerthos maybe unicorn magic generally is bad at offensive attacks unless you tread into dark territory like NMM or Sombra. Even Discord's magic seems mostly non-offensive.

                    1. @pony Discord's nature is not destructive. He just papayass things up, instead of breaking them.

                      Tuesday, 26-Nov-13 10:39:59 UTC from web
                      1. @nerthos yup
