This is a little late, but I feel it’ll set the record more straight: They stated they hoped to make money off the game at some point. That’s a straight up no-no with anything you don’t own the copyright for.

Yeah, I assume that’s why Hasbro C&D’d it. I understand that upset some, but I can sort’ve understand why Hasbro would do that, as they wanted to protect their brand, and the artwork looked too much like an official product.  
It’s better off being it’s own brand.

Especially, when Lauren Faust herself offered to design new characters for them.
 
Imagine if “Freedom Planet” stayed a Sonic fan-game, or if “Retro City Rampage” stayed an NES style GTA fangame? They wouldn’t be the classic indies they are now.

And in an ironic twist, it allows it to address more mature themes, speak directly to the mature fanbase, and since it started AS a game, is an indie title that counts as a “game before anything else”.

The reason the original game got C&D was we because it was at EVO in 2013, now in 2020 it’s in EVO again but can’t be C&D this time because Hasbro can’t do anything. That’s the joke.

I’m not sure why Hasbro would cry tears of nit C&D’ing it, I interpretted the joke differently, like the image was implying Hasbro should’ve supported the original Pony fighting game, and could’ve profited off it, if they worked with it’s staff.
 
Though, personally, I’m kinda glad for the C&D, because now it can be it’s own new Indie series, and Faust still contributed to it.

Guys, the joke is Hasbro C&D the original game and now the game is back in EVO again and Hasbro can’t C&D this time. It’s not trying to offend anybody it’s just a little fun. (now I’m kinda disappointed I have to explain the joke…)

Right, but they have licensed out their properties to make games of them. FIM happened to be one they completely refused to do anything with beyond a phone game that hardly counts as a game.

True, I guess I’d rather get more characters, and stages then playing online against ridiculously good players. lol  
I’m not bad at SSBU, but I swear some online players aren’t human.

In fairness, I hear Sakurai does want to fix it in future updates.
 
I know people like to rag on Nintendo’s online, but honestly some of their games like “Mario Kart” & “Splatoon” work great on it, so it is curious why SSB has so many issues.
