Axis by axis
Execution3 vs 4
Sky Break leans harder on execution: Combat and traversal have timing but no high twitch ceiling
Reads2 vs 1
Hello Neighbor leans harder on reads: Marketed adaptive AI is mostly mappable in practice
Variance5 vs 5
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization6 vs 6
