Debated games

Speed and efficiency play argued as adding an execution layer and a genuine optimization layer that the current placement leaves out.

A case that modern fighting games lean more on system and matchup knowledge, raising the strategy layer relative to pure execution.

Managing heavy randomness argued as a real reads layer, since good information would strongly aid consistent runs.

Executing role abilities and managing the town's limited resources argued as light execution and planning layers on top of the social deduction.

A suggestion that route optimization is a lighter factor than a full strategy placement.

Optimal clue-giving argued as a light planning layer for the spymaster role.

A suggestion of a light reads layer in anticipating the opponent's play.

Chase play argued as more execution-driven, with strategy mattering less once both sides already hold the same information.

Matchup knowledge across a very large roster argued as a significant strategy layer, not a negligible one.

A case that fast rolldowns and precise unit positioning add a real execution layer, while most turns are spent optimizing your own board rather than reading opponents.

A suggestion that the reads layer sits below a top-tier placement.

An argument that since chess has no hidden information or randomness, an engine's advantage would hold regardless of opponent, so opponent-specific prep shouldn't count as a real reads layer.

A case that a good run turns on build planning and luck more than on input execution, arguing the micro layer should sit lower.
