Injustice 2vsSoulCalibur VI
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.
Injustice 2
Execution · Grand Arena
A superhero fighter with gear-based customisation where execution and opponent reads sit atop a deep optimisation layer.
SoulCalibur VI
Execution · Grand Arena
A weapons-based 3D fighter where Reversal Edge decisions and ring positioning create constant human reads.
Injustice 2 leans Execution (Grand Arena); SoulCalibur VI leans Execution (Grand Arena).

Execution8 vs 8
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Injustice 2
Supermove confirms and precise character-specific combos demand execution
SoulCalibur VI
Reversal Edge timing and long lethal hit strings require tight execution
Reads8 vs 8
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Injustice 2
Meter burn mix-ups and opponent tendency tracking are constant
SoulCalibur VI
Reversal Edge is a pure read-off mechanic against human opponents
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
