Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 6
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
ISS Advance
passing and shooting timing
Split Fiction
Constant mechanical shifts demand fast adaptation and precise inputs
Reads3 vs 2
ISS Advance leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
ISS Advance
human opponents allow light prediction
Split Fiction
Co-op partner coordination involves light social reads
Variance3 vs 2
ISS Advance leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.

Split Fiction
Genre-shifting levels introduce some unknown obstacles per run
Optimization5 vs 5

Split Fiction
Each world's mechanics reward mastering the optimal movement path
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.
