Silver Surfer
Execution · Pure Mechanics

Silver Surfer
One-hit deaths demand near-perfect dodging every second
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
bosses telegraph fixed patterns
Silver Surfer
Enemy waves are fully scripted patterns
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
deterministic encounters
Silver Surfer
Stages replay identically once learned
Optimization6 vs 6

learning movesets and upgrade priorities
Silver Surfer
Memorising spawn patterns and safe lines is mandatory study
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.
