Summary

When two characters compete directly, both roll and the better degree of success wins.

body

When two characters act against each other directly — a grapple, a chase, a lie versus a Psychology check — both sides roll their relevant skill. Compare degrees of success (Fumble, Failure, Regular Success, Hard Success, Extreme Success, Critical): the higher degree wins. If both achieve the same degree, the higher raw roll (or higher skill, at the Keeper's discretion) wins the tie.
