Mr.President!vsPokémon Pinball
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.
Mr.President!
Execution · Twitch Chaos
A physics comedy about flinging a ragdoll bodyguard to block bullets.
Pokémon Pinball
Execution · Twitch Chaos
Flipper execution and table knowledge with Pokémon-catching RNG on top.
Mr.President! leans Execution (Twitch Chaos); Pokémon Pinball leans Execution (Twitch Chaos).
Mr.President!Pokémon Pinball
Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 6
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Mr.President!
Ragdoll physics control to intercept bullets demands timing
Pokémon Pinball
Flipper timing and nudge control are the whole input
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Mr.President!
Scripted assassin scenarios, no adaptive foe
Pokémon Pinball
A pinball table has no mind
Variance4 vs 4
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Mr.President!
Wonky physics produces chaotic unpredictable outcomes
Pokémon Pinball
Ball physics and catch-mode rolls add real randomness
Optimization3 vs 4
Pokémon Pinball leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Mr.President!
Learning each level's setup helps but physics dominate
Pokémon Pinball
Mode routing and table knowledge raise scores predictably
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.
