Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 4
Super Smash Bros. Brawl leans harder on execution: Slower engine lowers the ceiling but spacing still needs hands.

Thief Town leans harder on reads: Reading human players hiding among NPCs is the core
Variance3 vs 3
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization4 vs 2
Super Smash Bros. Brawl leans harder on optimization: Matchup knowledge and ledge play reward study within a campy meta.
