I saw this on Reddit a minute ago. Whoever is in charge of this game need to go back to the drawing board. These stats are wack!

And don't even get me started on the beauty ratings. Or Rarity having a higher mischief rating than Pinkie.
2356170 Just look at that rating on magical powerhouse Rainbow Dash! And everyone know Pinkie doesn't know anything about making friends. I applaud her low rating.
Someone has a full-on robot stalker for Rainbow Dash.
And Rarity size 6? is this some demented 'dat ass' logic?
2356190 They are counting the poofiness of her hair. All that volume, you know.
Wow. It's like they just rolled a d% a bunch of times and filled in the numbers.
And I think I just revealed their entire manufacturing process. Whoops.
Rarity is only a size 6 after an ice cream "incident"...

Did you see later in the same thread, where it shows more comparisons?
Twilight has less magic than SCOOTALOO OR TANK!
2356204 Well I remember my old 40K and WWII aircraft Top Trumps and they were pretty much spot on. Either someone's gone soft in the head or someone at TT hasn't heard of the fandom (and, therefore, that anyone will care).
2356233 Haha! No, I must not have read down that far, or someone posted after I left. Did they leave interns in charge of whatever this is?

Probably tossed darts at a board.
2356209 We all agree not to bring that up again! Rarity made us promise!
2356242 Hey, Loganberry is in that tread! It's always interesting who pops up in forums.
But yes, this game looks depressingly poorly researched. I hate it when licensed products are made by people who obviously couldn't care less.
2356233 well you know, a great place to hold liquid magic would be a tank.
Indeed, I am not a size six! At most, I am a size four and three quarters with elegant smooth lines and a few, mostly inconsequential portions of my outfit reaching size five for strictly comfort's sake.
I don't get why they even bothered with stats. Are these supposed to be like baseball cards? Because, y'know, the stats on those things are objective concepts that can be measured! Besides Size and Magic, all of these categories are subjective! Lots of people would probably disagree with them outright! If I ever get one of those cards, I'm crossing out the stat for Beauty and writing "in the eye of the beholder, you marketing nimrods!"
...
Somehow, that seems to piss me off more than the grossly inaccurate magic stats. Don't know why.
2356654 I think they are part of a card game, but I'm not totally sure.
2356520 But Rarity, these dresses in your closet say size nine! And what's with all the elastic waistbands?
2356657 These, don't really look like those kinds of cards. Unless they're character sheets for an RPG or something, but even then, the stats don't make sense. I mean, at what point in an RPG would you roll for a Mischief check?
2356674 I think they are reference cards for the game. Not the actual playing cards. I think it's basically like a pony version of the card game 'War.' Could be wrong, though. That's just an assumption based of the little bits of conversation I've seen around these screenshots.
2356674 Yes, it's like a more advanced version of War. Here's video on it. Sounds kinda fun, actually, but those stats really would need to be readjusted for reality.
2356719 Ah. So I see. That's very nifty. I retract my previous comment.
Tell me wtf this garbage is so I may avoid it in the future. D:
2356797 These are the notes for my new fic: The Sidelining of Twilight Sparkle.
These cards are totally messed up, and not to mention unbalanced.
I would like to point out that this is the only time that Rainbow Dash will literally be better than Applejack in every single way.
2356853 Rainbow's slightly smaller. Not much consolation to Applejack, probably.

I have to wonder how Rarity would feel about having her size rated. Especially since she has a higher size score than Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash. I could have sworn that Pinkie was slightly bigger, being an earth pony.
That was before Rarity started using tubs of ice cream as her antidepressants.
What the Hell, Hasbro?
