Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 7
SpeedRunners leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
SpeedRunners
Grapple swings and boost timing at full speed decide races
Street Fighter
Notoriously stiff inputs make landing specials the real fight
Reads5 vs 5
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
SpeedRunners
Timing item throws against human racers' habits wins exchanges
Street Fighter
Human versus rounds still reward bait and punish
Variance2 vs 1
SpeedRunners leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
SpeedRunners
Item pickups add party-game chaos
Street Fighter
Nothing hidden between two visible fighters

Optimal racing lines per track are learnable

Tiny moveset leaves little system to solve
