Abstract: A user request to select a rival to play against asynchronously for an event is received. In response to the user request, a rival selector user interface is displayed. The rival selector UI includes an identification of one or more users that can be selected and one or more filter criteria that can be selected to change which users are identified in the rival selector UI. The user selects one of the identified users that is used as the rival to play against asynchronously for the event. Game data for the rival for the event is obtained, the game data including both a performance of the rival in the event and data indicating a manner in which an object of the rival is customized by the rival. While the user is playing the event, the object as customized by the rival is played back based on the performance data.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to enable viewing and computation of differential data for an item or item subset when compared with other items or subsets. A score may be determined for an item or subset where standard deviations and distance metrics are computed to determine differentiators. In one aspect, a system for comparing data items is provided. The system includes a weighting component to determine a score for an item or subset of items. A differentiator component determines a comparison metric for the item or subset of items based in part on a distance metric to at least one other item or subset of items. A user interface can be provided to display the comparison metrics.
