Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 8
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads1 vs 0
1080° Snowboarding leans harder on reads: Head-to-head races involve little opponent modeling
Variance1 vs 1
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization5 vs 4
1080° Snowboarding leans harder on optimization: Line choice and shortcut knowledge per course
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
