Do you agree with this lis for the best video game fighters?

I came across this watch mojo video today, tho I do not agree with the order of the list as with most of their videos I found it interesting and thought it would make a good discussion for here.

So what do you people think are they leaving out anyone? Do you disagree with the order of the list?
 
No, but considering it's entirely subjective, I don't expect to either. Out of the major fighting game series, Dural from VF is one of the last characters I would expect to make it on the list. I would have expected Akira instead, since he is present on every cover and made the most appearances outside VF.
 
It's not entirely subjective, tho. Sure, there's bound to be some subjection, but based on their commentary, they're using tangible evidence to quantify some of their picks. Ken & Ryu and Sub-Zero & Scorpion are obviously the most iconic in their series, but Dural, Ivy and Orchid are by no means the best by any of the data they use to prove their other picks. They're not iconic, they're not top-tier and I don't think they're very popular. It seriously seems like they picked these 3 primarily because of the T&A.

If that's the case, where's Mai Shiranui? I love Haomaru. He's one of my favorite SNK characters, but Mai is probably the most recognizable female character in the entire fighting genre, short of Chun Li and Cammy. She's definitely more well-known than Hao, too. (How many times have you seen her standing, bouncing animation in a random gif?) The fact that they sway between eye-candy, popularity, and recognizability makes this list suck.
