R-Type leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Trackmania leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).
R-TypeTrackmania
Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 10
Trackmania leans harder on execution: Pure input precision over deterministic tracks defines everything.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance1 vs 0
R-Type leans harder on variance: Nothing random; checkpoints reset known states
Optimization8 vs 7
R-Type leans harder on optimization: Force pod placement and route memorization are half the game
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
