NOW THIS IS A SHOWDOWN.

Italia's White Meteor vs The Prince of the Snowfield.

Hmm let's see...they were both mainly forwards. (Referring to after the Genesis match and Shirou's transformation).

(This is un-biased because none of these characters are on my Top 10 characters.)

Wolf Legend is certainly stronger than Odin Sword, with it being a G2 - G5 waza and Odin Sword being a Kai - Shin one.

However, Fideo had the ability to get that ball to the goal. Shirou could steal the ball with his defensive skill, but he didn't have the ability to actually bring it up past a defender or two. It isn't all about the midfielders / wingers bringing it up, sometimes the forwards have to do work besides shooting.

However, Shirou DOES have the speed. There was one point in the series when he was faster than Kazemaru (Kazemaru quickly surpassed his speed, though).

Wolf Legend...Odin Sword...Italia...Japan...Balanced...Fast...

I honestly can't decide.

Sorry, I have no vote for this. To me it's truly a tie. :)
