head to head
Cool BoardersvsDOOM (2016)
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 8
DOOM (2016) leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Cool Boarders
Balancing landings and timing tricks demands precise control
DOOM (2016)
Aim, movement, glory-kill timing all peak.
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Cool Boarders
No adaptive opponent on the slope
DOOM (2016)
Demons scripted attack patterns.
Variance2 vs 1
Cool Boarders leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Cool Boarders
Course is fixed with little randomness
DOOM (2016)
Minimal encounter randomness.
Optimization4 vs 5
DOOM (2016) leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Cool Boarders
Learning lines and trick timing for points is the meta
DOOM (2016)
Rune and weapon mod picks meaningful.
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.
