I understood that reference.

@Celestia’s Servant  

 
Or Shinku Hadouken’d(in some Street Fighter games, it is a beam like the Kamehameha).

FUS RO DAH!

no, Glimmy. it’s not Shoryuken, it’s Hadoken. wait, is it? or maybe it’s Gadoken… 😗

Discord was literally begging to be Kame-Hame-Ha’d there…

@Background Pony #2E83  
That’s his Drag-on chute. (I believe he’s into Funny Cars and Door Slammers)

@Phantom Rider  
Eh, considering how OP Discord is I’m not surprised it took that much raw magical power to banish him.

@Background Pony #2E83  
Lol, yeah. I can’t help but notice that “harmless banishment” utterly wrecked the ground in the path of the blast. If they had gone with the more obvious explanation of “he got blasted all the way to the next county,” it fits what they themselves drew better.

“I just banished Discord”
 
=
 
“The school grounds may have been evacuated, but it’ll give Discord something to think about!”
 
“Look! I can see Discord’s parachute! He’s OK!”
 
“Too bad it’s Sunday, Discord would have actually been right in the path of my LETHAL attack tomorrow!”

@sTs  
I did. OP wasn’t sure which of the two attacks from SF it was, so I said which of the two attacks from SF Starlight’s “laser” resembles(, but like a Hadouken of some kind(it also reminds me of Kamehameha from DBZ).

@Background Pony #C15F  
Read the description!

It looks like a type of Hadouken(there are many different ones, like Shinku Hadouken and Shakunetsu Hadouken, for example), it’s not a Shoryuken.

@Patometro06  
How bout, “I’ve had it with this mofo Flutterhuggin’ snake on a playing…..field!”

@Nightweaver20xx  
We know that, but do the kids and other species in the setting?

@Ardashir  
Well, this one can. And maybe Twilight before she became an alicorn. That’s about it. :I

SPARTAAAAAAAAAA

Every single student there is thinking the same thing: Unicorns can do THIS?!? I am never ever arguing with or even disagreeing with one of them ever again!

Starlight wins! FATALITY! ^{(Forgive me if somebody made that joke already. Too lazy to look through the comments.)}
 
Now they’re going to have to nerf Starlight Glimmer for the next “Super Smash Bros.” game update.

This is a completely acceptable level of power for Starlight to have for no reason in particular.
 
This is a completely acceptable way for Discord to act after spending the last 5-6 episodes building character and progressing into a more mature and relatable character.
 
This is great writing
 
Nicole definitly watches previous episodes before writing the characters in said episodes

@PonyPon  
Like a using her when necessary

@Patometro06  
I don’t think less of her is the solution, just use her cleverly and well.
 
Like the rest of this episode.

@Patometro06  
I don’t like the way you said

that’s why i don’t like Starlight, Hasbro and/or the writers try to become her a ‘super mega kawai girl’.
 
seriusly they think give her alicorn power become her more cool right?
 
Anyway. Less Starlight is good for pony fandom.
