Sportsfriends leans Execution (Competitive PvP). Below: catalogued games with the closest cheat-test profile, and exactly where each one differs.
Matched first against: Fighting, Arcade - then ranked by cheat-test profile.
Same cheat-test neighborhood, lower Execution demand - the hands aren't as punishing.
A cross-genre tag below means that pick didn't share a genre - it filled a slot on cheat-test profile alone.
