Ranking of Fighters Bonus Episode: Here Comes A New Challenger

I had such a stressful day. Coming home to THIS is exactly what I needed.

Thanks Giant Bomb.

And thank you Science!

Edit: BTW is Makoto literally based on Akane from Ranma? Because damn.

favourite thing about winter, all the dead features come back to life

Luke Skywalker, Fuck!

There appears to be a weird color-overlay thing that starts during Tattoo Assassins, and wow it really drowns out the color.

Just like with all science: the second the grant goes through, they go NUTS.

Put Warren, King of the Skies, on a shirt.

I won't buy it, but still, the man deserves a shirt for all he's done.

Yes, the IDW TMNT comics are great.

Yes, the 2012 TMNT series was awesome.

Yes, the 2018 Rise of the TMNT designs are... not very good.

Yes, we need Netherrealm to make a new TMNT Tournament Fighters.

from this point forward, the main character should be referred to as "the luke skywalker of this game" Especially Ryu.

This needs to be a weekly feature. They all need lab coats. And there needs to be a giant board to refer to the best fighting games of all time.

For science!

At 59:35 the music made me have a flashback to T&C Surf Designs.

Damn, Jeff's got a stout Warren game.

weird choice to play all the same games again, but im not one to look a content horse in the mouth

Shades of Warren is my new pop punk band.

I would settle with some "scientist" gloves, to prevent future blisters.

I was not expecting a 3 hour experiment marathon, but I really liked you guys revisited games ranked before 2017 to have a general understanding on where the new scientist falls.

Lets hope the budget keeps coming and you guys get to do more experiments

We can die happy now.

Must savor this as it will probably be eight months until the next! :D :(

almost four hours, three hours and forty-something minutes of my favorite feature. Yes, YES. Thank you gbw.

i needed this.

Love this series. Got my favorite Garfield fight stick out while I watched it.

What IRB approved this, I'll never know.

I can't wait for Science to be applied to Sango Fighter, I had the freeware demo on my dad's 486 and my brother and I played the hell out of that piece of shit

3 HOURS, 41 MINUTES?!?!!?!?!?!?!

So I started watching this when the broken version was put up, and now that the fixed version is up, it actually remembers my "last watched" time stamp as where the broken version cut off. Pretty cool. Great work whatever engineers work on this site!

JASON! Tessa is from Warzard/Red Earth! Not... FREAKING... Puzzles and Dragons :(

ARRRRRGGGGGHHGHGHGHGHHHHH!!!

Not that I blame you for not knowing a character from the most obscure CPS3 game out there. Maybe add it to the ranking?

Haha, glad to see Ben added to the mix. I'm not sure if his science is sound, but he sounds like science.

THE SCIENCE HAS RETURNED!

Also

Edit: Also Also, after the first five minutes, Jeff really is slowly turning into Heihachi isn't he.

@zefpunk: This is so critical, I don't think it can be stressed enough.

This aint no homeopathic ranking of fighters.

Ranking of fighters. Alright! Nice!....................Three hours and forty american minutes.......what the fuck

221 MINUTEY DOOS?!?!?!?!

This was a great feature. Glad to see Warren back in action again.

Short.

e: Maybe I'm just broken from having re-watched Mario Party Party, but 1:18:06 -- is that just a Thowmp noise?

So the feature is not premium, but this episode is premium? What makes it a bonus episode other than Ben being added, which is now going to be a regular thing?

Vag Nad is my spirit animal.

@cooljammer00: Because it's really good. Like Warren.

I deeply appreciate Ben's look of complete disgust at the fart attack in Tattoo Assassins. It matches the one I had the first time I saw it.

Ben deducted Star Wars because it has no custom controls. Yet it beat Ranma

...fuck Luke Skywalker

@cooljammer00: I mean, it says in the description. This episode is to catch Ben up on the games.

It isn't cannon, it is just behind the scenes work that was filmed

It's been a long time but I am glad that science is back!

Enjoyed every minute.

Im literally SO fucking happy this is back.

@ravelle said:

Oh man, what if they had Lab Coats

it's cool they gave Cody a Deadly Premonition outfit in SFxT.

I really enjoyed the audible delight that was Chewbacca vs Chewbacca.

This new intern's scientific method is fundamentally flawed.

Almost 4 hours?

I dunno about that man.

Ranking of Fighter z.

When Ben plays fighting games he looks like he's either on the verge of tears or a sneeze.

@mathey: oh man we need to get them lab coats

I'd love it if the coats inexplicably became more ragged over time, like the slow-mo guys but without all the explosion-based justification.

I'm 10 minutes into this epic and so far I feel like Ben is using too much logic and not enough science.

15 minutes: Jeff's Warren is savage.
