Can any non-alicorn pony go toe to toe with this powerhouse?

>>30445896
Rainbow Dash probably could, maybe one of the wonderbolts as well. It really depends on if Rainbow can fly faster than the generic magic beams that every unicorn spams when they're in a fight. Glimmer could use some kind of magic to level the playing field, but Rainbow has far more mobility than her and could keep her distance. Rainbow would need a way to break her magical shield though, since I imagine Glimmer is smart enough to use one in a fight.
Maud could be a strong contender, but she'd need the element of surprise to lay a stone between Glimmer's eyes, David vs Goliath style. The war timeline showed she could do it.

>Rainbow has far more mobility than her
Arguable, remember that Glimmer still has teleportation, which should give her the edge in that department. She may have a chance in round 1 if she's able to speed blitz her and it's definitely something she'd do in character. I didn't say how far apart they started the fight so that does kind of leave it up in the air. Round 2 though I think Rainbow just gets instantly crushed into a baseball-sized red and blue sphere...

>>30445930
Teleportation is strong, but it can only take her so far. Rainbow's been shown to fly as fast as, and faster than the speed of sound. Even if we be generous and say that Glimmer can teleport as far as she can see, she still can't do it forever or keep up with Rainbow's raw speed. And if we assume that Rainbow keeps her vertical distance from Glimmer, she can effectively dive bomb her as much as she wants. Unless, of course, Glimmer takes to the sky herself, in which case she's still fighting in Rainbow's element, with the added benefit of falling to her death if Rainbow so much as kicks her horn.
The only real edge Glimmer has here is that telekinesis has been shown to ground Rainbow instantly and has no defined rules for how it can be used. I don't think it's possible to crush something with telekinesis though, it's never been shown to do that.
Really, I think it would be a fair fight. Rainbow is to pegasi what Glimmer is to unicorns.

Well, unicorn magic has been shown to have the manipulative finesse to tie knots and also the force to lift multiple tons of weight. It would seem that combining the two to mangle somepony seemed viable.

There's also transfiguration, which we only saw used on ponies when Trixie had the alicorn amulet, and to a much lesser extent when Twilight gave Spike a mustache.

I'd also like to point out that Glimmer would not be going into the fight with a force field or other pre-casted spells that could give her an edge, it's a random encounter with no planning. Unless she can manage to get a shield up in the time between the fight beginning and her being struck it is not going to help her.

Despite that, the pressure is still on rainbow to get the upper hoof early on because there's no 100% guarantee that if she's able to land an attack faster than glimmer can react to that the fight ends, but if she gets magicked it's over for sure.

It's apparent that pegasi are extremely light so even with a sound-barrier breaking attack it may not be enough to knock out or kill glimmer. Although unicorns aren't exactly known for their strength or durability. As good of a fight as it would be, it'd have to end very quickly with a speed blitz being the only option from Dash, which is painfully limited compared to Glimmer's repertoire.

Unless we go with the idea that Rainbow at full speed is too fast to focus on for telekinesis, in which case she could spin circles around Starlight and there would be little she could do in response. Throwing out a force field in Dash's apparent path and she'd just traverse/avoid it.

As for Maud, I think she would definitely be a more dangerous opponent if this wasn't a random encounter and the element of surprise was a viable tool, a rock thrown by her would end it instantly. But without that, I can't really see Maud executing that action faster than Glimmer can react.

Then again we don't even know what a bloodlusted unicorn is capable of or if they have the ability to crumple ponies up like cardboard, we can only guess, but we have a pretty good idea of what earth ponies and pegasi would do: pretty much the same thing but harder/faster and with no remorse. Maybe just forget that detail entirely.

Just one round both characters acting as they would in the show.

>>30445896
It would have to be another unicorn to take her on magically. Sunset might be able to do it as they said she specialized in magic and she was a student of Celestia. We haven't seen her use much of her magic though, but if she was taught by Celestia, I feel she would be a fair contender against Glim. There could be other unicorns in Celestia's school that have amazing magic skills that we just don't know about because we still haven't gotten one goddamn episode about Celestia and her magic school.

pinkie if its sufficiently funny

There's a difference between tying a knot and crushing a can. Telekinesis is exactly that, it allows a unicorn to move an object without needing to touch it. If we had a moment in the show where it was used to crush something, I'd concede, but we just haven't. Every time telekinesis is used, it doesn't do anything other than lift something. Maybe it would let Glimmer pull Dash's legs off, but crush her? It just can't happen.

Transfiguration also has the same problem that the lasers do, in that they need to hit Rainbow to actually do anything, which I just don't see happening. I'm also not saying that Glimmer enters the fight with a shield, I'm just saying that if she survives the first hit from Rainbow, she's going to use one, and from then on it becomes a fight of which breaks first, Rainbow or Glimmer's bunker.

>It's apparant that pegasi are light.
No, you're just assuming that. Pegasi have been shown to be just as strong as a regular pony. Remember that Dash used to slam into brick walls and cliff faces at mach speed and walk away.

>n which case she could spin circles around Starlight
Unfortunately, it's been shown that even an untalented unicorn can grab Rainbow while she's doing exactly that. Which is why I'm seeing that Rainbow would be keeping an extreme distance, since she can cover any ground in an effective flash.

Really though, it just comes down to who's reaction is faster. If Rainbow is faster than Glimmer, she beats her without taking a hit. If Glimmer can react faster than Rainbow, she wins in a single hit. So yes, the fight is an old western showdown.

>>30445896
Sombrero, he would probably defeat her

>>30445896
Twilight would've defeated her if not for her reluctance hurting another unicorn and surprise at Starlight's mastery over rare spells.

Battles are 50% prowess and 50% intimidation.

Maud can deliver a lot of punches in several seconds tho

Yet another mismatch.

Sombra probably could. He took over an empire and the only ones who could stop him were Celestia and Luna.

I'd assume that at his strongest he'd be a little bit weaker than where Twilight is right now.

Zecora would show her what socialism has done to Zebraland, and that would cause her to kill herself in shame.

I love how the toy cards and these story books give the ponies so much personality, while in the actual cartoon you can't even tell them apart from each other. Lost potential right there.

Sure. Just get Pinkie to make her a roast and hand Gimmy a rope afterwards. She's got more guilt problems than Luna at this point

>>30451267
Why pinkie specifically?

>>30445896
Fuck that, alicorns can't go toe to toe with her.

She can clone herself and alter time to make it fluid.
She fucks dash hardcore.

>>30452271
>alter time to make it fluid

What does this even mean? Time is already fluid.
Also, note that she didn't actually clone herself. She said in the episode that it was effectively just her creating an elaborate hologram.

>>30452254
Eh, you're right
Rainbow would probably make a better roast

My OC would rape her
