Near-deterministic systems
MultiVersus
Stage hazards add marginal RNG

Frame data and matchup study converge to known answers
MultiVersus
Team composition synergy and character tier selection reward 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.
