>>27247059>Now you're contradicting yourselfI probably could have worded that better, what I ment was that they COULD be, but they won't. It's like your legs for instance. They COULD be extremely useful in combat, however, most people don't, because unless you are very good at fighting, it's a risky move.
>There's no fundamental difference between grappling an opponent and grappling an object like a barbell,Hahahahaha, I am sorry my friend, but this is not true. As a seasoned martial artist, and a weight lifter, there is a huge difference. Also, in that picture she is simply laying the bar on her wings, not grabbing it.
>Did you forget about the Wonderbolts against Spike already?Did you forget about that scene already? Maybe you dont know what striking and grappling is, because you keep using those terms incorrectly. All they do is cut of his spines with the wings, they don't do any striking or grappling.
>Why would she be flapping her wings in a fistfight? She doesn't normally flap her wings if she's fighting on the ground.Almost every single time she gets into a fight, she is flying. Look it up if you don't believe me.
It also goes back to the whole cartoon physics thing, because a rock crushed her wings and she was fine, but she sprained her wing on that tree in the Wonderbolts Academy, and hurt her wings in pic related, meaning that they are weaker then you think.
