Before I forget,
Resident Evil with 58%

First, about NGamer - he also missed one in 2003, and would have missed one last year had Kaxon not been very generous.

Second, to Lagoona - that is kind of funny. I actually don't even expect any of these to be close, although it wouldn't surprise me a whole lot. Your SF pick sort of surprises me after that annihilation by RE last round, though technically I hadn't picked RE yet.

For Castlevania, I would say look at Sora vs Alucard. Then think that Sora represents the whole series, or at least stars in it, while Alucard is essentially in one game. I think it's sort of obvious Halo would beat SotN pretty badly on its own, yet as a series Castlevania won 55-45.

The owning of DMC had me somewhat worried, but it was proven time and again that old, established series are doing very well. What was the one exception? Super. Smash. Brothers. I mean, compare today's match to SSB vs Dragon Quest, and tell me it ISN'T the fourth strongest series here.

Street Fighter won against TES because nobody's played TES, and Street Fighter is the default, "Oh, I've heard of that" kind of series. That isn't going to work against Resident Evil, especially after RE4.
