Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 8
SpeedRunners leans harder on execution: Grapple swings and boost timing at full speed decide races
Reads4 vs 5
SpeedRunners leans harder on reads: Timing item throws against human racers' habits wins exchanges
Variance1 vs 2
SpeedRunners leans harder on variance: Item pickups add party-game chaos
Optimization3 vs 4
SpeedRunners leans harder on optimization: Optimal racing lines per track are learnable
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
