Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 9
Tetris Effect: Connected leans harder on execution: Precision placement under acceleration is the entire skill ceiling
Reads1 vs 1
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance3 vs 3
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization3 vs 4
Tetris Effect: Connected leans harder on optimization: T-spin and stacking strategy is knowable but execution overrides it
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
