IMO, the 5 Castlevania runs where pretty much the 5 best runs amongst the nominated. SotN was the best of the bunch though (but I think a full game (especially 100%) DoS run might change that in the future).

SotN flipped my shit. The rest were either too predictable, or too short, or both.

Tough choices! I went with SOTN, it has so many impressive tricks, glitches, and routes. A really impressive movie.

Mega Man X6 is linked to the wrong movie. It should be 1274, not 1247. I am not sure what to vote for.

Bump for final vote. I voted for SOTN as I did with the initial vote. I truly think it stands out well above its competitors.
