Axis by axis
Execution9 vs 7
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive leans clearly harder on execution.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Spray control and flick precision at the top
Super Smash Bros.
Z-cancels and DI demand fast precise inputs despite simple controls.

Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Anti-stratting and mid-round adaptation
Super Smash Bros.
Edgeguard and tech-chase guessing against adapting humans decides stocks.
Variance3 vs 2

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Information hidden until contact
Super Smash Bros.
Item spawns add randomness; tournament rules strip most of it.
Optimization5 vs 4
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Utility lineups, economy, and default strats
Super Smash Bros.
Stage positioning and percent-based kill setups 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.
