Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 8
Shredders leans harder on execution: Precise trick timing, balance and landing control dominate
Reads1 vs 1
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance3 vs 2
FlatOut leans harder on variance: Physics debris and crash chaos inject randomness
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.
