First thing first. I watched no teasers, no infos, nothing, I have no idea what this thing will be about (aseide from obvious handegg reference), but let me have a major guess. Either Rainbow and AJ will compete the crap out of everyone, or they will be against each other competing the crap out of everyone.
Let's do this. Lines said by characters are in italics.
Aj spits in hoof to check wind direction. Then AJ promptly turns said hoof away from wind.
Scrunchybuck.
That motion blur. Also, how did she manage to do that flip? That's physically impossible! She was in the air doing no flips, then she gets scared and starts spinning mid-air? Why am I even questioning cartoon logic? That flop was funny!
Distancebucking.... *Snort*
Cousin Braeburn! I thought he was the only apple in Appleloosa.
Wow. How did that apple not splash? It must be a joy for the teeth eating that. (The target not shattering due to brickle is secondary)
Flying with only one wing. Equestrian physics, ladies and gentlemen.
Apple went through the target. It's unscathed after multiple hoof-hits. How in the would do you eat those??? Is that why Granny Smith has no teeth?
I'm actually curious how the lines are recorded in an AJ-Rainbow conversation. Only one character individually, or just let Ashleigh talk to herself?
That Applesmile aside from being cute looks like when Apple.exe encounters an error. "Just smile and look cute, maybe they'll leave you alone"
Theme still sucks.
"
We don't have a team" And thus Appleloosa can't beat Ponyville. RRRrrrrroll credits!
How does ponk make her hair look like that?
I don't think anyone expected anything else from Flutterbutt.....
That's.... A rather interesting game. Do you guys think The Toy Company should hire an ACTUAL developer team to make a sports game out of it?
Judging from Ponk and Flutters, the actual Ponyville team may not contain the two sportsmares? That would be something new.
I can guess multiple episode conflicts to happen, one of witch those two trying too hard to get into the finalised team, before reaching the end of the episode and teaching kids how to leave sports to those who are talented.
Random butterflies!
Why do flies have butter on them?
Sea Swirl at least have the decency to blush. Just curious, but shouldn't your first reflex make you shield yourself with the bucket before dropping to the ground? Not dropping the bucket and yourself?
A wild Snips appear! Or Snails. Whichever. I only remember them from the Trixie episode.
Snails it is. His brain power hadn't increased though. I mean, he's carrying clean water for... something. Then use said clean water to catch dirty balls. With most of it splashing out anyways. By the by he's quite strong, a bucket of water is mighty heavy.
Ponk is freaking terrified. Also buckeds magically got refilled.
"
You two are gonna be representing all of Ponyville. And, more importantly, us!" Phew... I was worried Rainbow fixed her ego at first.
Why do you need to carry the ball like that RD? It seems thet Flutters just need to kick it back, not hold on to it.
Okay seriously. How does that contribute to goalkeeping. Shouldn't you just chuck ball at her to practice deflecting them? Music was fun during the sequence though.
See? Party Hoers's training looks a bit more practical.
"
Just one miss'll ruin the Apple family's buckball reputation forever!" Umm, isn't it a new game with nobody knowing what the hell is it? Including the Apples?
Yeah the lesson will be about enforcing your ways on others instead of just having fun.
Music's fun. Also, sommersaults.
"
What in the apple ...?" Bwahahahaaaaaa!
Before tomorrow? So Braeburn told AJ to go up against a practiced team with one slapped together in a day? Wow, I'm proud of him.
"
I know our friends want us to win, but how can the whole town be counting on us if most ponies have never even heard of buckball?" What in the world. An Lawyer Friendly Equines episode with somebody actually using their brain? WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!
"
I'd be surprised if anypony in this town cares about this game at all."
We all know what will happen...
Those who has face-paint have pretty decent ones. Excep Derpy, who seem to have just splashed her head into a paint bucket. Great work animators!
Ad break. Just to make you know where I was.
You have the little train sign on the train station. Facing the train tracks..... Well, at least the train will know that train station is a train station...
Where are they going? I thought the match will be here.
"
I don't know what zone Gottagofast is talking about, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to be in it. Do you?" I have no idea what is happening, but it seems like the characters grew some actual opinions. Not enough, but more than they actually had before.
Timid Ferovore Hoers flips out. Oh my god that scream. That was glorious. But she should've said something the day before, instead of having her first actual reaction to RD be a random ragequit. Now the episode will blame AJ and Rainbow because those two didn't say a word beforehand.
Holy crow Snails, what were you doing down there?
Train backrest have no depth. Yeah, dope 3d, but I'm not sure those green wall-thingies are made of paper.
Yup, episode is blaming those the two sportsmen because Flutters and Party Hoers ragequits. I mean yeah, they are not faultless, but
tell each other when it's starting to become a problem you gits!. *Ahem*
Train cars doesn't seem to have those dope little connections. You know, where there are no solid walls around you, just a thin piece rubber and some metal floor between you and a colorful demise. Just noticed.
Better to quit now, just before the game where everyone expecting you to participate, so no backup players have practiced, than just quitting mid-match. To be honest neither is better than the other, but at least quitting mid-game would be amusing.
Did they jump off the train to practice in boonieland?
"
Looks like you two really do need practice!" Just ignore that noise. It's just me banging my head into the desk. That was such a ridiculous shift in character.
Y'now, I realised why Timid Ferovore Hoers is so much better than RD.
Stand in front of the flippong goal! Or just have AJ aim somewhere else. Snails will catch it anyways, no need to make the enemy's job easier.
How do tails work?
RD delivering the lesson for today. Wow.
"
I'm sure folks want you to win, but not if worrying about it makes you miserable"
Speaking from experience AJ? Hold on a sec, wasn't this a previous friendship lesson? Meaning those two should've already know this??? I mean the quitters.
Yes Snails, we noticed. Maybe that's why people didn't punish you for bringing an Ursa into town. You are punished enough.
Didn't the Ponyville fans stay in the town when the train departed?
By the by, what the heck are you doing on the field girls! Just randomly stopping a match like that? Who wrote the rules? By the by, the ponies are still celebrating while nothing is happening. Also, top hat horse.
Braeburn is confused by a pink butt. Also, dat chest save.
"
Patented spin move." How do you patent that?
Game conveniently ends on goal. Also how in the world did they do all those moves on a field that small?
Laugh. God flipping damned laughs. Whyyyyyyy? Just whyyy?
Ending toughts: Not a bad episode. Props to the wirters, they didn't make the characters downright stupid, and the episode didn't have any major cringeworthy part. I'm quite happy with it, especially after that sacrilege that is the changeling episode.
