@Werebereus Apparently I can't reply to replies, so I will just make a new comment as a reply to your 2nd comment.

Alucard has received at least 25 years worth of vampiric experimentation that brought him closer to becoming the 'Ultimate Undead" since 1944. He most definitely got stronger since he fought Captain, and he was fully restricted so he also has a massive amount of power that he didn't unleash back then which would have amped his strength, speed, and durability. We know that Seras survived two attacks from a transformed Captain, and that Alucard is way tougher and has better regen. Full-power Captain isn't dominating a full-power Alucard by any means.

He also didn't gave any indication he couldn't beat Captain. You're just equalizing absence of evidence with evidence absence on your part. We know that Alucard's mission wasn't to fight Captain, but to destroy the research facility, the research, and the ones in charge of it: Major and Doctor. He wasn't interested in an actual fight with The Captain in the first place, which is why he lazily left the work to Walter. You're also forgetting that in 1999, Alucard has two powerful guns loaded with silver bullets, the Captain's weakness. A silver tooth killed him. Imagine what a silver bullet that was so powerful that it blew off a massive chunk of Anderson's arm would do.

In your third paragraph, you said that because we haven't seen Captain's full power, he shouldn't be the weaker than the top tiers at their peak who have their full power. I disagree, because for veracity's sake, that's not how feat comparison works. It's a fact that the other top tiers have shown better feats - namely they were dominating a fellow top tier at his peak at some point in their respective fights. The fact that Captain didn't do this isn't a get-away-free card; rather, that shortcoming should be treated as a legit deficit. You also say that Captain has amazing reflexes, and I agree. However, the Captain is a brute who forgoes reaction when he's on the attack. That's a vulnerability that Alucard, who has even better speed, could exploit by firing his silver bullets as Captain is trying to brute-force his way into Alucard.

But of course, I'm not saying that this ranking is how it conclusively is. I evaluated their feats, physical stats, and special abilities from a standalone point of view. They are all in the same general ballpark and if you ask me: Captain would lose to Anderson, beats Walter, and loses to or stalemates Alucard.
