Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 8
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads4 vs 5
SpeedRunners leans harder on reads: Timing item throws against human racers' habits wins exchanges
Variance3 vs 2
Puyo Puyo Tetris leans harder on variance: Random piece and puyo sequences are bounded and mappable
Optimization6 vs 4
Puyo Puyo Tetris leans harder on optimization: Chain construction and stacking theory are deeply studied
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
