Super Smash Bros. Melee leans clearly harder on execution.

Super Smash Bros. Melee
Wavedashing, L-cancels, and tech-chasing set an extreme physical ceiling
Super Smash Bros. Melee leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.

Super Smash Bros. Melee
Reading DI choices and opponent adaptive habits is constant and non-convergent

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R
Full information once matchups are known
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Stage hazard RNG and spawn positions add marginal chaos

Frame data, matchup knowledge, optimal punishes
Super Smash Bros. Melee
