Axis by axis

Execution8 vs 8

Even - both lean on execution about the same.

Reads1 vs 0

F-Zero X leans harder on reads: Rival AI is non-adaptive

Variance1 vs 2

TwinBee leans harder on variance: Bell power-up juggling adds small randomness, quickly mapped

Optimization5 vs 5

Even - both lean on optimization about the same.

Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
