Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 1
Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity leans harder on reads: Versus mode adds minimal opponent prediction
Variance1 vs 1
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization4 vs 5
Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity leans harder on optimization: Gear choice and gravity-shortcut routing separate the field
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
