(7)Halo 3 vs (2)Halo: Combat Evolved 2010

Ulti's Analysis
Halo 3 being the favorite here honestly confused me, because Halo 1 thoroughly owns that series. Halo 1 wasn't just the Xbox mascot. It was the Xbox. I know we can look back on this match after the KH and Brawl duels and think Halo 3 being the favorite made sense, but it really didn't. It was never going to win this match, though the casuals obviously thought otherwise.

Alec doesn't SackUpOrShutUp™ for nothing, my friends.

The match obviously didn't end up a pure SFF killing, and Halo 3 actually started going up a little in percentage during the ASV. So let's give the game credit where it's due, as it easily could have rolled over and given us Link > Ganondorf numbers under the right conditions. But it was still 57-43, which is a significant inter-series win for the elder statesman.

A lot of us got the hierarchy wrong within the MGS, Smash and Kingdom Hearts series, but one thing the majority of experts got right this contest was Halo 1 > 3 > 2. Granted I would trade in getting this right for a Melee win any day, but what can you do.
