Axis by axis

Execution9 vs 10

Super Smash Bros. Melee leans harder on execution: Wavedashing, L-cancels, and tech-chasing set an extreme physical ceiling

Reads8 vs 9

Super Smash Bros. Melee leans harder on reads: Reading DI choices and opponent adaptive habits is constant and non-convergent

Variance2 vs 2

Even - both lean on variance about the same.

Optimization4 vs 6

Super Smash Bros. Melee leans harder on optimization: Character matchup tiers and optimal movement routing are deeply studied

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