That is extremely difficult to believe.  
Even Flim and Flam realized that it was in their best interest to join.

@genervt  
It’s just a given the way her character has been presented through the show as a whole, it’s less difficult to believe that she didn’t see any reason for her in particular to get involved.

@Alphamon_Ouryuken  
And many obviously didn’t hear about it, didn’t made it in time or just weren’t shown on screen.  
That is really not so hard to understand.

@genervt  
She’s the focus of the image.
 
Equestria is big yes, and yet even creatures from outside of Equestria were able to make it and got word of what was happening.

@Alphamon_Ouryuken  
There are many characters we don’t see there.  
Is there any reason why you focus on her?
 
And Equestria is more than big enough to make it not ludicrous.

@genervt  
And yet we don’t see her once during the final fight. The idea that she didn’t even know is ludicrous considering the fact that again, everyone in Equestria was alerted to the danger.

@Alphamon_Ouryuken  
It is more than hard to believe.  
She would join the fight for many reasons.  
Making sure that she and her team have a future is just one of them.

@genervt  
Not siding with the villains doesn’t automatically make you a good person. Case in point, her track record in the show as a whole.
 
What you gave me were excuses, not concrete evidence. And considering her character is naturally selfish, it’s not hard to believe that she didn’t care enough to join in the final battle.

@Alphamon_Ouryuken  
You don’t have to be a saint to not wanting Tirek and his “friends” in charge.  
And I gave you not one but two reasons why she was not shown.
 
You continue to grasp for straws.

@genervt  
Glass houses.
 
You never once managed to defend against the fact that lightning is a selfish character. Nor did you actually provide any good reason as to why she wasn’t there aside from “she didn’t know”, which is BS when you remember that all of Equestria and everyone outside of it was alerted.
 
That, combined with your past excuses about how you like to pretend Lightning as some sort of saint makes you the desperate one.

@Alphamon_Ouryuken  
Straw man argument.  
You are just ignoring everything I said.  
Pure desperation.

@genervt  
And you made the excuse, so either back it up, or stop pretending that she’s a saint. Everyone knows that lightning is selfish. You just like to ignore that fact.
 
 
Shining Armor and Cadence were told to stay back and protect the Crystal Empire.

@Alphamon_Ouryuken  
Nice try.  
But you made the accusation, you prove it.
 
Iron Will, Torch, Captain Celaeno and her crew, Capper, Shining Armour, Cadance, Princess Skystar, etc.

@genervt  
And I’m still waiting for the official statement that she was there or that she (somehow) didn’t know Equestria was in danger.
 
Name five characters that could fight but didn’t show up.

@Alphamon_Ouryuken  
Still waiting for that official statement that she was not there and that she refused to help.
 

 
Many characters capable of fighting were nowhere to be seen.  
Do you accuse them of refusing to help, too?

@genervt  
She has a team that claims to better than the Wonderbolts, yet they along with the rest of Equestria’s allies managed to show up for the final battle. Her team didn’t.
 
 
@Background Pony #C127  
Everyone who is capable of fighting showed up, she didn’t.

@Alphamon_Ouryuken  
Wouldn’t that apply to the entire population of Equestria then? Are you saying that they all have to fight?

@Alphamon_Ouryuken  
Proof?

@genervt  
Nope, I’m saying she couldn’t be bothered to show up despite Equestria being in danger.

@Alphamon_Ouryuken  
So you’re saying she was there?  
Fine by me.

@genervt  
Yes, she is selfish.
 
Same can be said for you. After all, there’s no official statement that says she was too busy to help them. Do you’re wrong.

@Alphamon_Ouryuken  
No.  
Unless there is an official statement that she was asked for help and refused, you’re in the wrong.

@genervt  
It has been established that Lightning at her core only cares about herself and her own ego. It’s one of her reasons why she can never admit that she is wrong or at fault for anything that happens.
 
So unless there’s an official statement where the writers state that she had a reason for not being there, you’re in the wrong.

@Alphamon_Ouryuken  
No, you’re the one grasping, considering the fact that you’re so desperate to pretend Lightning wouldn’t be be willing to fight for her own good.
 
Many character WITH fighting experience weren’t shown.  
That doesn’t mean they weren’t willing or not present.
 
You are really desperate.
 
And you are still wrong.

@genervt  
No, you’re the one grasping, considering the fact that you’re so desperate to pretend Lightning isn’t selfish.
 
As for the characters that weren’t shown during the final battle? Most of them are characters who don’t have any fighting experience whatsoever.
 
So yes, you’re still wrong.
