Good debate, Abdullah ^ ^ I guess I'll be posting mine, too...

1/ Stat:

Rau Sem has his Technique, Block and Catch (144) higher than Shinsuke’s, but the difference is only from 8 to 10, which I think is not very big. I can only admit that his Luck (109) is much higher than Shinsuke, but sometimes depending too much on luck is not a good choice.

In response, Shinsuke has a higher GP (136), higher TP (149), Speed (112), and Stamina (107), and all of their differences are quite high, from 10 to near 20. With this, Shinsuke can not only stay in the field much longer and uses his hissatsu many more times, but can also run up to the FWs and steal the ball before they have a chance to shoot. So in conclusion, Shinsuke’s stats are slightly better and have more advantages than Rau Sem’s.

2/ Hissatsu:

Rau Sem’s Kogetsu Juujishou maybe stronger than Mugen The Hand. However, while his moveset is composed entirely of GK moves, Shinsuke’s got Kattobi Defense, a DF move which he can uses to steal the ball from the opponent before they have a chance to shoot. This is necessary, because sometimes Keepers can counter the opponent’s Forwards if they’re fast enough, and Shinsuke’s Speed is just what he needs here. Thus, Shinsuke’s moveset is helpful in both Catching and stealing the ball.

And last thing, just like Abdullah has stated, all of Shinsuke's hissatsu helps him replenish his Shibire Gauge while Rau Sem doensn't. This will make his Shibire Gauge much stabler and can continue to protect the goal firmly or a longer amount of times.

3/ Keshin:

Goseishin Titanias surpass Plasma Shadow in both KP and Attack power. Furthermore, Titanias’s KP has already surpassed Plasma Shadow’s even in their first evolution levels. Now onto their hissatsu:

The only advantage which Shadow Hand’s got here is its low TP consumption. Majin The Hand is the second strongest Catch hissatsu in the game, its power surpasses Shadow Hand’s with a differences of 40, which is very high, and with it Shinsuke can stop nearly 80% of the Shoot hissatsu that exist in the game.

And finally, both of their Keshin skills can support the whole team. However, Rau Sem’s Never Give Up! can only work when his team is losing, this is a bit too risky, I must say. On the other hand, Shinsuke’s Technique Force X will help his whole team’s technique stats increase considerably, and this can help them change the flow of the whole game thanks to their powered-up abilities.

Thus, Shinsuke literaly owns this section.

4/ Mixi Max:

Rau Sem’s Mixi Max may makes his Catch stat even higher, but do not forget that when Shinsuke mixi maxed with Liu Bei, he can get a lot of choices too. Shibire Healing is not the only choice that Shinsuke can get, he can also get Liu Bei’s skill Catch Plus 30, which make his Catch stat equal with Rau Sem’s. Even if he’s not going to choose this, Shibire Healing can be very effective, too, as most of Shinsuke’s hissatsu have less Shibire Damage than Rau Sem’s, and this skill will further strenghthen his Shibire Gauge.

Finally, both of them get Taikoku Ouka in their Mixi Max. However, this is an Earth hissatsu, so it will become a STAB hissatsu if Shinsuke uses it, and its power will become higher than Rau Sem’s case, which doesn’t have a STAB. Therefore, Shinsuke’s Mixi Max is more effetive and makes him much stabler than Rau Sem’s Mixi Max.

In conclusion, Shinsuke is a better Keeper than Rau Sem with some much better stats, a good moveset, a much stronger Keshin, and a more useful Mixi Max.
