In the HuntvsMetal Slug 4
Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.

Irem's gorgeous submarine shoot-em-up crawling through drowned warzones.
Metal Slug 4
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A run-and-gun shooter where memorizing enemy patterns and precise dodging carries survival.

Execution8 vs 8
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Dodging dense fire in a slow submarine
Metal Slug 4
twitch dodging and shooting precision
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Enemy subs and bosses fully scripted
Metal Slug 4

minor drop randomness
Optimization5 vs 5
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
