Captain CommandovsCastlevania: Bloodlines
Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.
Captain Commando
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Capcom's futuristic arcade beat 'em up starring four heroes battling crime across Metro City.
Castlevania: Bloodlines
Execution · Practiced Mastery
The Genesis Castlevania tours war-torn Europe with whip-wielding John Morris and spear-vaulting Eric Lecarde.
Captain Commando leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Castlevania: Bloodlines leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).

Character choice changes paths; patterns are learnable
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
