User blog comment:TsurugiFan16/MSPD: Inazuma Debaters!/@comment-5954191-20130430090836

Debate
As nobody from Gold's team has debated so far (except Gold), and I'm going to assume the team's captaincy, I'll take the chance:

Stats
The majority of the stats ar higher at Endou's statspread, but Tachimukai has higher stats in two of three stats, that are essential for a GK: Catch, Block. Technique is unfortunately higher than Tachimukai's by 14. Kick, Speed & Dribbling aren't that important, but for the records, Endou has higher Kick, whereas Tachimukai has higher Dribbling and both are tied at Speed. GP, Stamina and Lucky is also higher at Endou, which allows him to endure more on the field and land more criticals. Albeit Endou's TP are higher he can only use God Hand W twice and then rely on the weak God Hand, whereas Tachimukai can use Mugen The Hand thrice.

The next thing I pull out, is unfortunately a Joker, and I didn't want to use him now,but... The most important stat is higher at Tachimukai: Freedom. The Freedom stat regulates the amount of training before draining another stat. Tachimukai's is at 85, whilst Endou's is capped at 50. As in order to increase the Catch stat, Technique is used (when the Freedom stat expires), I substract 14 from the Freedom stat, thus resulting into 72, difference would be 22. So additionally to the 2 points advantage in Catch, Tachimukai can increase it into 24, something that undeniably makes up for the other stats.

Hissatsu
Endou's Inazuma Break is not needed to explain, as they are mainly used as GKs, not as FWs. Endou's God Hand is stronger than Tachimukai, as he gains STAB. God Hand W is stronger than Mugen The Hand, but there is something at Tachimukai's side that will reduce the power difference: Hayashi no Kokoroe, a skill that powers up techniques by 1.2 without draining TP. If we do the math:

Endou's God Hand W: 180x1.2 (STAB multiplier) = 216 Tachimukai's Mugen The Hand: (140x1.2) (Mugen The Hand's power with STAB) x1.2 = 201.6

The difference is now not so heavy as before, not considering the 22 Catch potential and the fact that Tachimukai can use Mugen The Hand thrice, instead of only twice (Endou's case). Also Mugen The Hand reduces the Shibire damage, whereas God Hand W does not.

Endou's Fukutsu no Seishin works against his stats, he'll be most likely out of TP, before the skill comes to effect.

Keshin & Mixi Max
This section will not taken into consideration, as Tachimukai does not spot one. It should be noted however, that possessing a Keshin/Mixi Max is a useful thing to have, as it allows the player to use more powerful techniques/powering up.

Conclusion
I conclude my debate, while Endou seems to be a better player (not counting Keshin & Mixi Max), Tachimukai's sheer power is stronger than Endou's, which makes him more viable competitively.

'''Please, Ice and Lunar, write your debates! Don't be demotivated by a seemingly unfair round! As long there is time left, anything can happen! '''(Tachimukai is stronger, anyways)

P.S.: Most likely this debate will not be counted, yet it'd unfair if Gold debates all alone and LR7 made the request before anyone else has debated, so please consider it.
