Axis by axis

Execution8 vs 10

Rocket League leans harder on execution: Aerials, flicks, dribbles, pure mechanical ceiling

Reads1 vs 6

Rocket League leans harder on reads: Rotations and 50-50 reads against humans

Variance1 vs 1

Even - both lean on variance about the same.

Optimization4 vs 3

F-Zero leans harder on optimization: Boost timing and racing lines converge

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