Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 9
Unreal Tournament 2004 leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Super Mario Odyssey
Precise platforming and capture-move tech ceiling.
Unreal Tournament 2004
Aimbot plus perfect dodging trivializes arena duels
Reads0 vs 6
Unreal Tournament 2004 leans clearly harder on reads.
Super Mario Odyssey
No adaptive opponents whatsoever.
Unreal Tournament 2004
Predicting human movement and timing in duels matters
Variance1 vs 2
Unreal Tournament 2004 leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Super Mario Odyssey
Almost no randomness in level design.
Unreal Tournament 2004
Spawns and item timers are knowable, little hidden
Optimization5 vs 5
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Super Mario Odyssey
Moon routes and movement tech learnable.
Unreal Tournament 2004
Item timing, map control, and weapon economy are studied
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.
