That's 8 months between canterlot gardens and then to finish RD animations, finish FS, and polish. It's certainly possible to have a respectable game with only 6 working characters (skullgirls). Evo is different than just some con, and I would think the dev team would put their best foot forward to show off their game. They would never get a better shot that this as far as the fgc is concerned.
Turnout and stupid imbalances are certainly concerns, but to be fair those are concerns for every other game on the list. Maybe not as big of ones, but it's certainly no unique to FIM.
The only good thing coming out of this is that Mane6 more or less has promised to finish the game by EVO. To be honest, I don't want it to win though, but given the fact that bronies tend to donate to anything and everything under the sun, I wouldn't be surprised if it did. Hopefully, the fact that FGC and Bronies don't have a lot of overlap prevents this. Much rather see Melee or something else.

The To dashie from dashie pick made me feel so day ;_;. I don't know why T_T. But that video was realyl cute :3 I think the yeah sound could be tweaked a little tho
Started this painting in august, finally finished last night, 6 months of painting, and lots I mean LOTS of procrastination!
So here's a bit of a short story on it:
This painting is intended to be a present to Cane and mostly the Community, the reason being is two things:
1. The painting has a little bit of our community in it, IE: A little bit of subtle jokes we have had in the past. 2. Its based off a captioned picture Cane mostly used in the past, its a picture that I remember fondly on first mare-a-thon, second mare-a-thon, I even think it got glimpsed in a video the third marathon.
#2 is why also I made it, about 6 months ago, the reason I started painting this painting, is due to the fact that we got a new rule and you could not post any captioned or memes that didn't involve pony.
So Cane got a warning not to post it anymore, but I grew fond of that picture as it is what I think of now when I think of this community :D
So I was beginning to learn art from Saurab and various members of the community earlier that year, so I decided hell, I'll just ponify it.
Well, 6 months later, here we go! I could go on for another 6 months fixing stuff I did in day 1 with new stuff I learned this past few months. But I decided it was good enough to finally call it good .
I did everything in the picture, except for Luna and Vinyl's line art, who I think you can all guess who did that by the ears! (Thanks Diversee, you da man.)
Big thanks to Diversee especially, for helping me out with certain things and critiquing the art as I went along painting and helping me out with those difficult poses for Vinyl and Luna.
Anyway, enough story stuff:
Here is the original picture that the painting is based off of, a lot of you might remember being in some of the mare-a-thon videos and topics.
And here is our Community version - Go ahead and spot all the little jokes I put in there, I tried to get everyone's pony in there but that would take to long
- Non caption'd less community puns version over here:
