Elements/Stats
Firstly, both Charles and Kirino have wood element, thus none of them have an advantage over one another. Their stats are somewhat close and balanced out to each other but Charless seems to have the better stats set for a DF. Charles's Tp is more than Kirino's by 10, a large number unlike the difference between their Gp which is only 5. The most important for a DF is the block stat which Charles is better at. Despite that, he also has the better Technique and lucky, something very useful for defenders as it allow your hissatsu to be stronger and make your chance of getting the ball back even better; very useful for defenders.Kirino has better Gp, dribble and stamina but those aren't really suited for DF. You don't need to dribble around opponent while being a DF nor do you need huge Gp and stamina to last those long runs, as you wouldn't while being a DF.

Hissatsu
In this section, we'll compare all of their hissatsu to each other as both of them have hissatsu that balanced each other out.

Trick Ball vs Southern Cross: Unfortunately, the power difference isn't that much but the Tp consumption is. Due to Charles higher tp, it's safe to say he can use it more thus increasing its effectiveness by a bunch.

Dimension Cut vs Deep Jungle: Again, the power difference is close but Tp consumption is not. Same reason as the above hissatsu.

Killer Slide vs Deep Mist: This time, it's seem Kirino have the upper hand. With the very higher power. But with the Tp consumption, Killer Slide is a more viable hissatsu to choose for breaking down the opponent's Tp.

Ikamasa vs Ikemen Up!: Now, charles has his chance. Ikamasa can trick the ref into calling a foul on the opponents, leaving a lot of chance for player with that skill while Ikemen up! only makes hissatsu works again girl players better; and considering there are not many girl players in the game; this skill is near-useless in term of competitive play.

Conclusion
In short, Charles may have a weaker skill sets, but with his near-perfect DF stats and very versatile, spammable hissatsu(With this larger Tp and less Tp consumption) and a very tricky skill; it's very okay to say that Charles is the better player in this match-up.
