This is a recurring problem I have with authors on FimFiction. All too often you have to make the villain bigger and stronger than everyone else, even when it doesn't make sense or is impractical. Also, this guy just seems bad because you need him to be. Whipwind is a pegasus right? And a Wonderbolt who won many awards? Wouldn't it make more sense for him to be a small pegasus so he can have the speed and agility required to fill the role of a champion athlete? And really, as tall as Mason when Big Mac isn't? Mac is supposed to be the largest stallion around, that's why they gave him the name "big." Anyway, this just grinds my gears.
5634249 Not to mention that Whipwind is at least half drunk and out of shape... but is still a better fighter than a group of trained soldiers. Wowy, how amazing that this drunken, burned out former athlete... is stronger than a manticore. Why? Because 'edgy'!!
5959561 No... but the changelings that they stomped during the Canterlot wedding sure as fuck were. Given that they were an invasion force and all.
Changeling invasion force defeated Canterlot's trained guards. (Changelings > Royal Guard)
Element Bearers stomped trained changeling soldiers while out numbered. (Mane6 > Changelings > Royal Guard)
Whipwind DEMOLISHES Aj and RD, two of the M6's primary fighters, in a 2 VS 1 fight. (Whipwind ≥ Mane6 > Changelings > Royal Guard)
(Whipwind >> Royal Guard)
Given that AJ and RD have at the very least held their own against trained soldiers and they were nearly beaten to death after being completely dominated by Whipwind he must be stronger than the soldiers they beat... and the soldiers that got beaten by the ones they beat.
Dunno if this will be brought up, but how can Scootaloo even be on cloud surfaces (like his table and bed and stuff) if you mentioned earlier in the story that she never got the enchantment from Celestia...?
5959626 Psychotic rage can sometimes make a person way stronger than their weight class. I've seen scrawny kids out-wrestle half a dozen athletes trying to take him down. It's called "Hulking out", and you can probably guess where that term comes from.
But at least Whipwind is just the newest pigeon perch in Celestia's garden.
Woah they straight up murdered his ass
i hope she turns him into a earth pony or takes away his ability to fly and walk on clouds
The one line missing from the end of this story: "That was when the cloudwalking spell gave out."

Haha! Yeah, I tried to fit in that mechanic during the chapter. But it just didn't seem to work anywhere without getting messy

Thanks?
Started off cliché. Turned into something very special.
Good job. *hoofbumps*

the mane 6 have absolutely no training, they are civilians not guards or soldiers .

That was another heart beater .Im happy evrybody is ok.
that went better than expected...

Any Pegasus can walk on clouds. Ponies that don't have wings will fall through the clouds to their demise.
I think everypony can agree on this application:

I absolutely love that his first thought on seeing Cloudsdale was to compare it to the magic shitter.
