FlatOut 2Pac-Attack
Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads1 vs 0
FlatOut 2 leans harder on reads: No adaptive opposition worth modeling
Variance3 vs 3
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization4 vs 5
Pac-Attack leans harder on optimization: Stack shapes that feed Pac-Man efficiently are learnable patterns
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
