Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads1 vs 2
Grip leans harder on reads: Light weapon-timing prediction against human racers
Variance3 vs 4
Grip leans harder on variance: Pickup rolls and missile chaos reshuffle race order
Optimization4 vs 4
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.
