I'll debate too, but a little shorter this time^^

Strikers

Midorikawa's stats: B B A B A C

Hikaru's stats: A S A A S B

As you can clearly see, Hikaru's better at everything except for Guard and Catch. Both Hikaru's and Midorikawa's guard stats are A, which are both good, but not necessary. The Guard stat is, of course, not necessary either. It's not like anyone is going to put either one in the goal. Hikaru just wins this part, without a doubt.

CS Game

Kageyama Hikaru: Midorikawa Ryuuji: My teammates already explained most of this, but I'll shine a light on the most important parts.
 * GP: 139
 * TP: 134
 * Kick: 144
 * Dribbling: 112
 * Block: 76
 * Catch: 60
 * Technique: 100
 * Speed: 159
 * Stamina: 83
 * Lucky: 104
 * GP: 147
 * TP: 129
 * Kick: 121
 * Dribbling: 138
 * Block: 102
 * Catch: 78
 * Technique: 116
 * Speed: 104
 * Stamina: 102
 * Lucky: 78

Firstly, TP and GP is almost equal. Hikaru's Kick Stat is much higher than Midorikawa's, though. I know Hikaru is a FW, and needs it more than Midorikawa as a MF. But I myself, and much more players of the game will often take a shot with their MF too. So they do need a good kick stat. Midorikawa's kick stat is "okay", but not really good, while Hikaru's is very strong.

Midorikawa does beat Hikaru with Dribbling and Block. He does need this more than Hikaru, though. Block isn't necessary for both of them, so that's not a real advantage. Dribbling, I must admit, is better, but this doesn't matter at all in the CS Game! Midorikawa has Spinning Upper, which isn't a really strong hissatsu, while Hikaru has Muei Souha, a strong combination offense hissatsu! Muei Souha + Hikaru's Dribbling Stat EASILY beats Spinning Upper + Midorikawa's Dribbling stat!

Midorikawa's Technique stat is better by 16, and I have to say I'm not sure what this stat does. I do know it's not such an important stat, which is not useful for FW's that much. MF's need it a little, so that's good for Midorikawa, I guess :$

Hikaru's speed is 159, while Midorikawa's is only 104!?!? Speed is important for both MF and FW. Needless to say, Hikaru beats Midorikawa here.

Midorikawa has a better Stamina, which means he doesn't get tired that fast. Forwards only have to run to the goal and score, so Stamina isn't very important for them. It's important for Midfielders, though. Midorikawa does have a better Stamina stat than Hikaru, but it's still pretty low! It's still not of that much use! Also, characters getting tired doesn't occur that much, so it's also not a super important stat.

Hikaru's lucky stat is much higher than Midorikawa's, which means he has a chance to get lucky in a duel more often than Midorikawa. This is only an advantage, of course.

Now about their hissatsu: Hikaru has Extend Zone (TP: 55, Element: Wood), Koutei Penguin 2gou (TP:50, Element: Wood), Muei Souha (TP: 40, Element: Void), Kick Plus 10. Midorikawa has Astro Break (TP:35, Element:Wood), Gamma Strike (TP:55, Element: Wood), Spinning Upper (TP: 32, Element:Wind), Wide Range.

Firstly, both Midorikawa and Hikaru get an Element boost in their hissatsu shoot, as they're both Wood Element. Astro Break is clearly the weakest hissatsu, with a TP of 35. Then, Extend Zone and Gamma Strike both have 55 TP and should be considered equal. Koutei Penguin 2gou is, as a combination shoot hissatsu, of course the strongest shot, and gets an element boost too. Plus, Hikaru has Kick Plus 10, which boosts his shoots even more. This makes Hikaru's shoots MUCH stronger. (Yes, Midorikawa has Wide Range, but this only makes it easier to create Chain Shoots, it doesn't do anything for Midorikawa himself).

Secondly, Muei Souha is just much stronger than Spinning Upper. Spinning Upper is Wind Element, which doesn't fit to Midorikawa's Wood Element. Muei Souha is Void Element, which means that it doesn't matter against which element it battles; it won't weaken no matter what. Muei Souha costs 40 TP, as a combination offense hissatsu, while Spinning Upper costs 32 TP as a solo offense hissatsu. Muei Souha is OBVIOUSLY stronger.

Anime

Let me first ask you a question. What did Midorikawa do for Inazuma Japan? Right. He trained a lot, but for what? He only got Lightning Accel, which he used once, but that didn't help Inazuma Japan at all. He got off the team because he trained too hard; he was useless the whole 3rd season.

Hikaru, however, was really important! For example against Hakuren, where he made Double Wing possible! Also, he scored a goal with a NORMAL SHOOT! He saved this match; without him, they probably would've lost. Also, the match against Genei Gakuen was won because of him. He convinced Amagi. He scored a goal, again. I repeat: Also this match was won mainly because of Kageyama Hikaru.

I hereby rest my case, and I hope I did well.

I have to say, both Beta and Lunar did an outstanding job, which made my debate almost unnecessary ;)
