I never said that we had to completely ignore the Equestria Girls movie. I just meant that the movie isn't a necessity for defining his character. You see, Flash Sentry as a pony has little relation to the movie. Absolutely no involvement in the plot besides a minor cameo at the beginning and a small role at the end. It's his human self that was the major appearance. He, as a pony, can easily be written in without having to rely on the movie itself, putting aside Twilight's memories of him when they were humans. That's why he smiled to Twilight, because he remembered them bumping into one another before. Sunset Shimmer's character can only be written in while relying on the movie, as she was a more major part in the plot than Flash Sentry (especially as a pony). We all know Flash Sentry the human, not the pony.

Except Shining Armor was introduced as a Captain of the royal guards and was immediately made into a Prince there after. Nothing for him to teach us about guard duty there. Flash Sentry has been introduced as an actual guard.
