Axis by axis

Execution7 vs 8

SpeedRunners leans harder on execution: Grapple swings and boost timing at full speed decide races

Reads6 vs 5

Puyo Puyo SUN leans harder on reads: Versus play means timing chains around a human's tempo

Variance3 vs 2

Puyo Puyo SUN leans harder on variance: Puyo and Sun drops are random but bounded

Optimization7 vs 4

Puyo Puyo SUN leans harder on optimization: Chain architecture is deep, studied, near-solvable theory

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