Axis by axis

Arcana Heart 3
Full-screen approach mixups against humans stay adaptive.
Street Fighter II: The World Warrior

Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Arcana Heart 3
Deterministic; arcana chosen openly.
Street Fighter II: The World Warrior
No meaningful RNG; match outcomes are skill-determined
Optimization5 vs 5
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Arcana Heart 3
Character-arcana pairings multiply the labbable matchup space.
Street Fighter II: The World Warrior
Character matchups and punish routes are learnable but not fully solvable
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.
