Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 9

Mortal Kombat 11
Fatal Blow timing reads and opponent tendency tracking are constant
Tekken 7
Reading opponent's defensive tendencies and rage art timing is constant
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Mortal Kombat 11
No RNG; all mechanics are visible
Tekken 7
No RNG; all information is visible in the match
Optimization7 vs 7
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Mortal Kombat 11
Fatal Blow baiting, Kustom build selection, and frame data extensively studied
Tekken 7
Rage Art/Drive usage, wall carry routes, and frame data heavily studied
