fighting game experts of era, do you agree with the current ranking of fighters from giant bomb?

The switching between the planes in the SNK games like Fatal Fury always tripped me up when I was younger.
The older I get the more I appreciate fighting games with stories in them. Rival Schools is awesome and although I don't own many of the recent Netherrealm games I do enjoy the ones I own and appreciate that they are pushing more and more for such a robust story mode.

Look, Ballz 3D, as Jeff said, innovated the science.
Hyped commentary? Yes.
Minimal UI? Yes.
8 direction movement that Soul Calibur and Tekken would steal? Yes.
They should have ranked Ballz 3D first so it could have been recognized as the greatest fighting game of all time.

The list became much worse when Ben joined in on it. That's probably why so many in this thread dislike it.
He still hasn't gotten his lab coat so the science suffers as a result.
Science can only get better when you add more underpaid research assistants, that's just good science.
I still think Deadliest Warrior got a bum deal. Game is fun if you know what you're getting into.
The portrait for Zhou in Kensei: Sacred Fist is some horrific shit.
I wish there were a way to play Tatsunoko vs. Capcom that didn't involve the Wii, Wii U, or emulation. The game deserved better. And the game did get a Quick Look with Jeff and Ryan back in 2010.

I can't believe they didn't notice the Steven Seagal lookalike in Kensei! That should have placed it in the top 50.The portrait for Zhou in Kensei: Sacred Fist is some horrific shit.

Not that I loved it back then, but the game was considerably worse than I remember. It still hurts a little that one of the few lesser known fighting games that I can remember got scienced into oblivion, when other obscure, and ultimately bad, fighting games that I've never heard of soar into the top 50.
Blood Warrior looked incredible.
In terms of games that I thought of as Street Fighter 2 clones back in the day and where they are in the list as of today:
16. Karnov's Revenge/Fighter's History Dynamite (Neo Geo)
31. World Heroes 2 Jet (Neo Geo)
32. Fighter's History (Arcade)

okay so blood warrior is made by the same people who a year later would release the kung-fu master jackie chan
which would get updated as:
jackie chan in fists of fire
arguably the first ranking of fighters
and almost ten years old now where on earth does the time go

I agree with Blood Warrior as one of the ten best fighting games of all time. When you have Sanpei in the game it makes it a instant top ten fighting game.

i feel like maybe there were some math errors or something in that bushido blade science
seems pretty low to me
seems pretty low to me
The math was all wrong this episode considering they put Mortal Kombat so high. There is definitely a pre-knowledge bias thats botching the science.
It takes time for science to be applied. It's an exacting process, the calculations have to be run before a definitive and objective conclusion can be reached for where any given game falls into the ranking of all fighting games.
I'll say this much: Time Killers has a more interesting set of characters and was more interesting to watch than Bloodstorm. But I must respect the science.
For what it's worth, Power Rangers is represented on the list.
Yeah this list is clearly not serious. Like what basis is even used to form an opinion according to this list? I'll have to check out a video.
I'm guessing they're saving the better games the deeper down the list they play? That HAS to be it.

Tomoka Minato's zoning game through basketball buckets in Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax is the right kind of absurdity.
The structure of an average RoF episode:
They pick two random fighting games, usually ones that are janky or obscure-ish
Play them for about a half-hour each
Stick them on the list based on whatever they feel like at that specific time
Make a bunch of jokes about it being a very scientific process at the same time
I wouldn't call it a joke list, perse, but it's definitely not meant to be taken seriously and is pretty tongue in cheek.
I also think the feature largely works because they've mostly been playing obscure/dated stuff. I think you'd see a lot more complaining if they were just going with all the generally highest rated fighting games. Even half-jokingly it's a lot easier to judge/showcase something like Bloodstorm in half an hour.
Caught one of their episodes a few weeks back with the timefighters (forgot the exact title). It was actually fairly enjoyable i have to say.
I'm irrationally annoyed that Ben is stamping Episode 0036 in time with discussion about this year's Evo sign-up during the King of Fighter '95 segment. The point is to create evergreen fighting game content.
I also think that the creators of Time Killers would enjoy that their game is listed as the 69th greatest fighting game of all time (for now).
