Since there's a subforum for this now, I guess I'll make one too. AMA

What got you into MLP?

what's your strongest move to shake a single defender? do you feel confident driving with your off hand? would you rather play 5v5 or 2v2?

It was actually the thread on FFR by MrGiggles. I noticed some people had pony avatars and I kinda wondered what they were about, but never really looked into it. Then MrGiggles posted this thread and I was intrigued and confused at the same time. I watched the first episode like he said to, just to give it a try. I couldn't make it past the theme song without cringing. I kept going though, and got to the end of the episode. It was a 2-parter, so I was like "hey, that wasn't too bad, I wonder what happens in part 2", and I just kept on watching episodes. Before I knew it, I had watched all the episodes that were currently out (20 I think).

I started looking at community sites like EqD and the /r/mylittlepony subreddit in my spare time, and they were pretty cool. The thing that really kept my interest was the community - it seemed genuinely nicer than any other community. The community has changed a lot though since I started watching it, and I'm not really sure if I like the direction in which it's going. I still enjoy the show and some parts of the community, but I've started to avoid other parts entirely. The music community has gone to shit since every single person is like "OMG I WANT TO BE LIKE ALEX S" and is creating shitty dubstep in hopes to "become famous", so I'm avoid the big sites/groups and just talking to a select few people who I know actually have a passion for creating music.

Anyways, I've rambled on enough, but that's the gist of it. Ask me if you want to know anything else.

Hmmm, this is a tough one. My favourite move is probably the head fake, because it works 75% of the time for me. The in & out is a close second though.

I'm not very confident driving with my left hand, if I'm driving from the left I usually just end up either going under the net for a reverse layup with my right hand or just awkwardly doing a right-hand layup from the left side.

I'd much rather play 5v5 - I'm a lot better with larger teams than with small 1v1s and 2v2s because it's a lot easier to make team plays (give & go, picks etc.).

Thanks for the questions :P

Nope, I wish I did though. I've done a lot of ear training from piano class though, so I can identify intervals, chords, scales etc.

Why so awesome?

Also does the name come from Megaman at all or it's completely unrelated?

saaaaaaame same same. also same for me with team plays in 5v5. just based on the in-depth-ness of your answer I get the feeling you'd school me hahah.

Nightmare Night is a super duper neato cool file. I don't think I've played anything else of yours b/c I'm dumb. how long have you been steppin'? what's your favorite file you've made?

Because I'm awesome.

My name actually came from around grade 4 or so when I was playing runescape for the first time. I liked pokemon and megaman at the time, so I thought why not name my person megamon? Sadly, it was taken, so I added 88 on there for good luck (lucky asian number yay!).

Nah, I'm not that good at basketball. I actually haven't played for a while so I'm probably horrible right now :P

I've been stepping since around 2007. I was really bad back then - all my files got rejected from the FFR queue. I've improved a lot since then, and now have over 20 files on FFR.

It's going to be hard to pick my favourite FFR file made by me. I think it would have to be Pokamen Party , with Find a Pet (Candy Mix) following at a close second (mostly because I just love the song, heh). My favourite file I've stepped for sm is Night of Pony, just because of how fun it is to play with the bg.
