A game ends +-4 spots from where they decid to start. Ben wanted to start higher, but Jason picked 38 and so it goes.

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

The latest additions to the list have left Bloodstorm at #69, to which I'm sure the creators would have remarked, "Nice."
Oh my, Warrior's Rage. What a complete waste of excellent character designs. There's a ton of great ones there (Saya and the little kid excluded), and Senri Kita's artwork was sublime. And then there's the game...

Theres no such thing as a good ranking for multiple fighting games. People look for different things in their fighting games. Some people won't rank a game without a lot of single player content very well while some literally only play versus and practice mode. Even if there is somehow complete feature parity people want differences in mechanics; things like game speed, differences in risk vs reward, spacing, movement options, etc.
The only thing you can really figure out is what fighting games are objectively terrible because they're simply broken as hell and don't function correctly, but that doesn't mean people won't enjoy them either.

Also, Gundam Wing: Endless Duel making the top 15 is really nice. Fun game.
I am waiting for War Gods to make the list. That game is perfect for this list. Jeff reviewed it too.

I wanna congratulate Clayfighter 63 1/3 on being one of the top 100 fighting games of all time.
Didn't think they'd put that game at the bottom, but it sure looks dumb.
That game looked like nuclear trash.
Games I'd love to see Jeff lead them to explore through the magic of science:
Weaponlord
Eternal Champions (especially the Sega CD sequel, Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side)
Saturday Night Slam Masters (I think this counts as more of a fighting game than a wrestling game)
Mace: The Dark Age
Last Blade
Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game (especially the good arcade version)
You don't know how happy it makes me to see someone mention Mace. I played way too much of that game.
I also want to see them review that excavator fighting game I forgot the name of.

This episode felt really phoned in. I'm starting to get tired of the ranking gimmick and clearly they are too.

i think they really need jeff
have a break for a bit while he's gone
I think the science has definitely suffered in Jeff's absence. While Jason is doing an admirable job keeping things objective, science intern Ben is clearly not ready to wear a lab coat and there are obvious and glaring failures in his methodology.
I'd hate to see this series slide into the dangerous world of fighting game psuedo science ranking smash brothers games.

This was fun to watch. I've been wanting to see more high level play of some of the wild/janky games shown on Ranking of Fighters. Like, what does high level Asuka 120% Special Burning Fest play look like? I'm dying to know.

the only video I can find is this:

there's evidence that it was streamed at some tournament but I can't find a vod

all i could find for this was a screencap of twitter
thanks for finding it!
It does not seem like the science is prepared to account for The Last Blade's Ultimate Offensive Orgy.
I'm really wondering if the scientists' complaints about how The King of Fighters '96 is playing is due to playing the PS4 ports.
We're approaching 100 games in this scientific list. Which game should they evaluate to commemorate that?
Street Fighter II?
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3?
Marvel vs. Capcom 2?
Street Fighter Alpha 3?
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3?
Street Fighter Alpha II?
Super Street Fighter II Turbo?
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax?
Samurai Shodown II?
DONG DONG NEVER DIE?
Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire?
Divekick?
Street Fighter II?
