Axis by axis
Execution9 vs 6
D4DJ Groovy Mix leans clearly harder on execution.
D4DJ Groovy Mix
Note timing under disc-scratch mechanics is the entire test
Half-Life 2
Gravity gun and shooting demand precision.
Reads0 vs 1
Half-Life 2 leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
D4DJ Groovy Mix
No opponent - the chart never adapts
Half-Life 2
Combine AI scripted, non-adaptive.
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Charts are fixed; only event banners rotate
Half-Life 2
Almost no randomness.
Optimization3 vs 3
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Card scoring teams matter for events, not for skill
Half-Life 2
Linear progression with no builds.
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.
