Street Fighter VvsTekken 7
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Street Fighter V
Reads · Grand Arena
A reads-heavy neutral game where V-System decisions and opponent modelling decide bouts.
Tekken 7
Execution · Grand Arena
A high-execution 3D fighter where reading opponent tendencies and optimising punishment routes defines top play.
Street Fighter V leans Reads (Grand Arena); Tekken 7 leans Execution (Grand Arena).

A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
