Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads5 vs 4
Street Fighter leans harder on reads: Human versus rounds still reward bait and punish
Variance1 vs 2
Warlords leans harder on variance: Ball ricochets add chaos no one fully controls
Optimization2 vs 1
Street Fighter leans harder on optimization: Tiny moveset leaves little system to solve
