[Second-Person] [Human in Equestria] [I know the image is human, but the ponies are anthro.]
After five months of living in Equestria, more specifically in Canterlot Castle, it finally feels like the constant staring is long gone. You've gotten acquainted with a handful of guards, and even had a good friendship with two civilians. Life is starting to become a lot better, until somepony makes an off-hand comment about Nurse Redheart's paper on your health.

oh i can't wait to see the up and comming ass kicking

4842899 The game is actually my inspiration for this fic. But, try this one on for size.

Oh, wow, this story is picking up heat really fast. :twilightblush: I thank you all so much for that. If you really like this story, there's a chance for you to be in it. There's going to be a fighting tournament (duh) and I need non-cannon characters. Send me a message of your OC's appearance (in anthro form), and personality.

I am liking this so far. Looking forward to where this goes.

Not a fan of anthro but I know it's hard to make a punch out style story with ponies that don't have arms. Will read more to see how it goes, undecided if I liked this or not.

4843515 My OC? What do you mean? My OC doesn't appear in this story.

4843538 Oh. The story is set in the 2nd Person, meaning that that character he hates, is you. Or at least who you want to project as the protagonist.

So was shining spouting crap just to be tough or can he just not read? And who is Cadence telling him to ask out that night guard from earlier?

4843579 She's talking about Redheart, but how would she know Redheart is a good match, I don't know. There's no explanation why she thinks Redheart is good for him.

4843730
Ah that makes sense not sure why I didn't even think of her.

4843772 HASH TAG IT AIN'T REDHEART xD. Sorry to shoot that down. Reread the first chapter and pay close attention to a certian pony that you meet, but is nameless

This story is interesting till now. Have a follow. I like the short chapters. Probably means faster updates...

Human in equestria? Where is the human tag?

Came here thinking it was an actual Punch Out crossover. :rainbowlaugh: But this is even better, keep it up! :pinkiehappy:

4843823 It's the female night guard isn't it?

4844157 it doesnt have a human tag because the ponies are anthromorphic. The protagonist is the only human. I don't think that calls for a human tag.

4844749 yes it does:twilightsmile: any and all humans. Especially the protag:unsuresweetie: But hey do what you want.:derpytongue2:

BRING ON THE ASS WHOPING

Love the cover art. Maybe I should someday write an actual MMA style fic depicting the cover art?

4844749 You would be wrong sir, most stories with the human tag have only a single human.

4845575 Huh. Oki. It's been fixed. ^.^

2/10, needs more Little Mac.

Okay, actually, that's me exaggerating; it's pretty good story intro, but some of the text seems a bit . . . unnecessary and/or strange, considering some of the previous information provided; IE, the transition mid-paragraph about how 'you' stop mixed martial-arts training, doing arts and computer stuff in the spare time just seemed strange and out of place. Particularly since it hasn't come up at all in the other few chapters.

But maybe that's just me; I'm sure others have different opinions.

4845728 That part in particular was used to enforce that you had knowledge of how to fight, but you don't exactly have a muscle type body. -shrugs- I see your point though. I'll get some friends later this week and remaster it. Thanks for your input though! I'd like to hear more if you have any other thoughts.

For the time being I'm putting this in my read later list. I'll probably read it by the weekend.

They have fur. not skin.

Add gore tag then plx. Skinning people while they're alive is pretty much the definition of the gore tag.

4846032 Wait? What? I'm so confused.

4846054

... it was a joke. A sarcastic way of saying "Things with fur have skin too."

They have fur. not skin.

So, they're rotting corpses with patches of fur still attached to the muscle?

Joking aside, zombie boxing would be awesome.

A few people have made light of the technicality that having fur but no skin would be a bit gory, I've got another technicality for you. Ponies(/horses) have hair, not fur; something about the actual definitions of hair and fur.

4846671 JESUS CHRIST WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT

4846677
It isn't. Funny to mention though.

4845728
Screw Little Mac. It needs more BIG MAC! :eeyup:

4846878 -cough- shutupthat'sborderlinespoiler. Itneedstobeasurprise. -cough-

You never used it before, but there is was now

there it was now

4846902 Fixed. Thank you for pointing it out. :D

4846908 Wait...this is Anthro mixed with humans, right? And ever pony is an Anthro, right? Their part human, and we are full human too. So...is Shining Armor being racist, or is it he just does not like us as much as Cadence?

4847838 Shining Armor is just being cautious. Almost everything that isn't a pony is usually trying to harm them, or are just mean (Griffons). I'll try to expand on his character in a later chapter.

4847842 Alright...I trust you in this. He seems kinda racist in most stories/episodes I read/watch.

I can't help but picture Little Mac as the protagonist here. I mean, you DID name the story Punch-Out after all, so him going toe-to-toe with anthro ponies sounds neat.

Eh heh, I only have two OC's, neither of which are any sort of fighter, so I couldn't help ya on the OC filler.

Still, hope the fighting will be as badass as that guard practice.

4847933 They don't have to be Big, Muscular Ponies. There are fighters (idk if it'll be boxing or kickboxing style yet) that are skinny and lightweight. If you wanna be in the story, send me the OC info!

I'm telling you, this being Little Mac is making a lot of sense. He'd probably be just as pissed at the cautious racism given he's fought more than a dozen fighters from radically different backgrounds. These coincidences are pretty cool.

Hm... I'm not really sure what to make of this but I want to see where it goes (it could have something to do with the fact that I just watched Hajime no Ippo for four hours straight, :applejackconfused:).
