Axis by axis

Execution6 vs 3

Super Smash Bros. Brawl leans harder on execution: Slower engine lowers the ceiling but spacing still needs hands.

Reads7 vs 7

Even - both lean on reads about the same.

Variance3 vs 4

Witch It leans harder on variance: Hiding spots and prop choices are hidden information each round

Optimization4 vs 3

Super Smash Bros. Brawl leans harder on optimization: Matchup knowledge and ledge play reward study within a campy meta.
