Both lean on execution about the same (9 vs 9). Biggest difference: variance (2 vs 1) - No meaningful RNG; match outcomes are skill-determined

Both lean on reads about the same (8 vs 8). Biggest difference: execution (9 vs 8) - Frame-tight inputs and recoveries decide stocks.

Both lean on execution about the same (9 vs 9). Biggest difference: variance (2 vs 1) - Visible state; nothing meaningfully random

Both lean on variance about the same (2 vs 2). Biggest difference: execution (9 vs 8) - Swing manipulation, footwork, and parry timing

Both lean on variance about the same (2 vs 2). Biggest difference: optimization (4 vs 6) - Character matchup tiers and optimal movement routing are deeply studied

Both lean on reads about the same (8 vs 8). Biggest difference: optimization (4 vs 6) - Variation selection and optimal punish routes require systematic study

Both lean on execution about the same (9 vs 8). Biggest difference: execution (9 vs 8) - Direction-based attacks need fast inputs

Both lean on execution about the same (9 vs 9). Biggest difference: optimization (4 vs 6) - Team composition and matchup knowledge run deep

Both lean on reads about the same (8 vs 8). Biggest difference: optimization (4 vs 6) - Soul Charge routes and matchup character knowledge reward study

Both lean on execution about the same (9 vs 9). Biggest difference: optimization (4 vs 6) - team order, assist synergy, and matchup knowledge

Both lean on reads about the same (8 vs 8). Biggest difference: optimization (4 vs 6) - Team synergy and tag combo routing are optimizable systems

Both lean on execution about the same (9 vs 9). Biggest difference: optimization (4 vs 6) - Frame data, matchups and option-selects form deep studied theory
