Sounds about right

OP made Fluttershy looks like a total wimp, and Rainbow Dash a meat head idiot.

rarity should have an intelligence of 14 bars, and instead of intelligence it should be called fabulosity

according to the books, rpg specifically, Dash is probably stronger than AJ

@Twi_Clown  
Ah, understood.

For what is worth I didn’t gave it any vote, I just came here to make honor to my personal title. I do like to make sense thought, is just that when I found something that capture my interest I can’t stop myself to speak (well, write) my opinion.

@Twi_Clown
 
I wouldn’t mind if it was just opinions clashing. I just don’t think so many downvotes are necessary. =(
 
Exactly! I could be wrong, but I think we’ve actually seen Fluttershy lose it more often than any of the other M6. Man, the perks of a tiny gauge…

@Background Pony #F38D
 
Making stats about characters is usually harder than it looks, but intelligence is by far one of the most ambiguous and controversial ones, mainly because of the “book” and “street” smarts thing. It shouldn’t be a surprise that several opinions tend to clash.
 
Also, LOL, the limit break makes more sense than almost other explanation, specially since that explains why Fluttershy is usually very weak except when she’s pissed peeved enought.

…I get the feeling that quite a few of these comments aren’t taking the idea of ‘relative’ into perspective.
 
Since we don’t have a sense of scale, we don’t know if “Intelligence” is measuring extremes. For the matter, it could just be measuring ‘book smarts’ here. I would argue that Rainbow Dash is the least intelligent of the allotted, if ‘least intelligent’ comprised of at least a high school diploma and thorough understanding of one’s job (weather worker, in this case).
 
Beyond that, there’s also the point of keeping ‘balance’ in check, if I may take this as a VG roster. This chart doesn’t do a very good job of it (AJ’s and RD’s Strengths should be reversed, etc.), but the idea’s there. (Except for Twilight, though I believe it’s commonly agreed that Alicorns have higher stats than each of the individual races, and even then that would only account for +2 in Strength)
 
Also, for the Fluttershy complainers, Limit Breaks don’t count. And who says RD was actually using her full strength when trying to muscle Flutters out the door? She wasn’t even using her wings! ;P

Am I the only one looking at that bear GIF and thinking.
 
“Fluttershy Wins!: FATALITY

 
 
 
 

 
Riiiiiiight…

Oh, screw it. Twilight wins in intelligence while AJ wins in strength. Who cares where the rest fall?

There’s a lot of loose definitions of intelligence going around here. May as well just give everyone a 6 and just call it a day.

@Twi_Clown  
Thank you sir.

Fancomics from niban-destikim doesn’t count. XD

I’m happy to see I’m not alone. Yeah, I never understood why Dash is treated as a dumb jock. She’s a jock, she’s not exactly an academic girl, but she definitely not dumb at all. Somewhat impulsive and probably has problems learning things from books, but when she learns something she can put a two plus two out of it. And if you think about it, wouldn’t a speedster and a risk taker need to be a quick thinker so she can avoid dangerous mistakes on the march? She would need to process thoughs very quick to take quick decitions.

What about the episode when Fluttershy and Pinkie fight and Fluttershy wins? Or what Twilight says… “and could somepony please help Pinkie Pie?”
 
I’d give Fluttershy a 4.
 
Other than that, looks okay.

Dash. Is dumb?! Oh you son of-

OP, you son of a-

This is phenomenally wrong. Rainbow Dash is no dumb jock just because she’s not studiously book smart. She’s a very quick thinker, in fact, and knows a lot about the things she DOES know. Not having an encyclopedia in your brain doesn’t make you stupid.
 
Likewise, Rarity is no dainty little flower. She did a flying kick on a manticore, for crying out loud! She straight up right hooked a changeling! She complained about it, but she was perfectly capable of pulling a cartload of gems. And let’s not forget how she carried a BOULDER around with ease compared to Twilight.
 
Rarity is perfectly capable of handling herself in a fight, where Twilight had to use magic to move a snow plow. And while Rainbow Dash is a simple thinker, generally so is Pinkie and neither of them are stupid.

Well, it’s obviously just wrong!  
Firstly, it was established as early as “Fall Weather Friends” that Dash and AJ are roughly equal in physical strength. AJ has stronger hind hooves, but Dash has very strong wings.  
Secondly, while Dash is not as book-smart as Twilight, she’s far from stupid. She was shown to be able to learn things pretty fast in “Testing, Testing, 123”, she managed to excel Twi in Daring Do lore (“Daring Don’t”) and she was brilliant at planning pranks in “28 Pranks Later”.  
So, for Dash 6 in strength and 3-4 in intelligence are more correct estimates IMHO.

@Twilight_Shimmer  
Exactly. XD

According to pretty much every anime series that I’ve ever seen True strength does not come from physical capacity It comes from an indomitable will.
 
But seriously Fluttershy actually is A LOT stronger physically than this guy gives he credit for.

@PonyPon  
It’s a high-variance system. d100 rolls with only d20 stats.
