In 'Two Shot Shoot Out' you can NEVER win on a safety
The shots in Two Shot Shoot Out are much tougher than regular 9 Ball on the average because you rarely get "ball in hand" and MUST out-move AND out shoot your opponent to win any game.....it's vastly more strategic and competitive without being able to ever win on a safety.
In 'Two Shot Shoot Out' you can NEVER win on a safety because there's no ball in hand and the opponent can always roll out.....this leads to thousands of variables that "one foul" doesn't have except in isolated instances.
After reading through CJ's points and thinking about Jay's infinite possibilities comment the question occurs to me that if a player has infinite shots when its their turn in one game and extremely limited choices in another game then the one with less choice seems harder.
Any rotation game forces the shot on the player and dictates what shots out of a very limited number of choices must be executed.
How many times have people said that 8 ball is much easier than 9 ball precisely because of the amount of choices and yet if it is one pocket vs 9 ball the same criteria makes the game harder?
I am not really on one side or the other here since I play all games at a low level. But I do find it interesting that the choices argument goes both ways.
