F-Zero GXTrackMania 2: Canyon
Axis by axis
Execution9 vs 9
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads1 vs 0
F-Zero GX leans harder on reads: No adaptive opposition
Variance1 vs 0
F-Zero GX leans harder on variance: Fixed tracks, deterministic physics
Optimization5 vs 7
TrackMania 2: Canyon leans harder on optimization: Finding the theoretical best line is half the hunt
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
