Building comparison
head to head
PlayStation All-Stars Battle RoyalevsSuper Smash Bros. Brawl
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is reads, and it is a single point.
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
Execution · Competitive PvP
Sony's mascot brawler where only Super attacks score kills, making meter management the whole game.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Reads · Competitive PvP
The Wii entry whose slower pace and infamous random tripping pushed Smash toward defensive mind games.
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale leans Execution (Competitive PvP); Super Smash Bros. Brawl leans Reads (Competitive PvP).

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.
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
Combo routes into Super meter need decent but modest hands.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Slower engine lowers the ceiling but spacing still needs hands.
Reads6 vs 7
Super Smash Bros. Brawl leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
Super-only kills make baiting human opponents the core decision.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Defensive bait-and-punish yomi dominates its floaty neutral.
Variance2 vs 3
Super Smash Bros. Brawl leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
Items and four-player chaos add mild randomness.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Random tripping injects genuine uncontrollable RNG into movement.
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
Meter-build efficiency per character is the solvable layer.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Matchup knowledge and ledge play reward study within a campy meta.
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.
