Axis by axis

Execution7 vs 10

Rocket League leans harder on execution: Aerials, flicks, dribbles, pure mechanical ceiling

Reads3 vs 6

Rocket League leans harder on reads: Rotations and 50-50 reads against humans

Variance2 vs 1

Micro Machines leans harder on variance: Tracks are fixed; little randomness beyond AI bumping

Optimization4 vs 3

Micro Machines leans harder on optimization: Learning each track's racing line and shortcuts pays off

Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
