Exactly, AJ and RD’s strengths are in different areas but they’re generally as strong as the other and go toe to toe all the time. I just wish people would stop trying to label Dash as only fast and AJ as only strong. It’s an insult to both and ignores the their other physical abilities and talents.

@Keith Mowz  

 
At least your being honest. And its tough tamales for her stats, cause like Raphael from tmnt just to name one, she’s the show’s butt-monkey protagonist, meaning after failing tons of times, she can get as strong as she wants, so long as its character motivated. And RD as been the fastest flyer in Equestria for a while, but she constantly improves herself. Heck in the comics RD saved Twilight’s life by taking alternate Celestia on with a blow to send her reeling. And this was AFTER the comics established the sisters were stronger then Bigmac.
 
AJ’s strength’s are in different areas. If RD is Thor, AJ’s more of a Captain America. She’s got tons of on the ground skill and agility, got thunder thigh kicks, and she can take the smallest object and turn it into a pin point projectile.

@Keith Mowz  
ummmmm your wrong, being a stunt flyer requires a ton of core body strength……you dont become one of the worlds greatest flyers by being wimpy or mediocre.  
it takes a lot of muscle and strength to be able to handle and perform in high G forces and powering through various tricks and what not.

@Background Pony #C05D  
You seem to be misinterpreting me.
 
I’m aware there are examples of her also being physically strong. I understand that in canon she’s about as strong as AJ and whatnot.
 
But that’s always seemed to muddle their dynamics to me. Rainbow Dash’s motivations are all about being a fast, daredevil flyer. Speed and stamina, yes. Strength? Doesn’t seem to fit her beyond labeling her with a general jock stereotype. She’s basically a combination of a sprinter, stunt pilot and racecar driver. None of those speak to me of being burly.
 
Basically I’m just grumbling because Dash’s stats are imbalanced, nerf plz.

@Background Pony #10B2  
Exactly.
 
@Keith Mowz
 
(cf. “Sonic Rainboom”, “The Best Night Ever”, “The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000”, “Hurricane Fluttershy”, “Sleepless in Ponyville”)
 
All episodes that display great strength as well as speed, and I’m pretty sure I missed a few other examples

Still beat your flank in an arm wrestle, Applejack.

@Keith Mowz  
She’s pretty strong, though. (cf. “Fall Weather Friends” and “Lesson Zero”)

@Background Pony #C05D  
I don’t know why it wouldn’t. Rainbow really shouldn’t be as strong, she’s about speed, not strength.

@Dragonmage  
Agreed, that’s obvious to everyone here. No one’s dumb enough to believe this reflects canon RD.

Pretty sure Rainbow is stronger than this.

@Rainbow Dash  
The prompt was “Dash trying to be awesome, emphasis on ‘trying’.”

i dont get this…. aj woulndt really do any better….. weather you go by the eqg gif or if you go by pony RD beating aj at hoof wrestling….
