Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 8
Skate 2 leans harder on execution: Flick-it stick controls map tricks to genuine manual dexterity
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance0 vs 1
Skate 2 leans harder on variance: Static city, deterministic physics
Optimization4 vs 4
Even - both lean on optimization about the same.
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
