Here I go!~
Okita Souji vs. Oda Nobunaga

Stats
While Okita only has three (or four) advantages in TP, Technique and Speed (and natural Dribbling), Nobunaga wins in all the other sections. Does that mean that Okita is bad? If we look more closely, we can see something different. Stats that matter for a forward are, besides from GP and TP, Kick, Speed and to some extent Technique and Dribbling. The other stats do not matter when using a technique or going into command battles. Suddenly, things changed. The only real advantages Nobunaga now has is Kick and Dribbling, in which the advantage of the former stat gets taken by Okita. But that gets covered later on.

Hissatsu
This section really makes Okita shine. Kiku Ichimonji gets powered up to 180, due to STAB, and thus makes Nobunaga's techniques pale in comparison. Not to mention the decent Shibire it gives. Plus, it is also a Shoot Block. Evolution is on par with Setsuna Boost, before STAB calculation, is a Shoot Chain and gives off 40 Shibire Damage. Tsubame Gaeshi is more utility and should only be used if you are sure to pass your opponent. Noboriryuu is better in terms of power and Keshin Damage, but do you really want to use Noboriryuu risking your shot chance, TP wise? Speed Plus 30 and Dribble Plus 30 are in fact equal, but having more Speed is more useful than having a higher Dribbling.

Keshin
If it was me, I wouldn't have chosen these Keshin. They are practically useless on them, but you have to deal with the things they throw on you. Musashi has a formidable KP stat, but a relatively weak Attack. Bushin Renzan costs 20 more KP, but only has a 10 point advantage over Red Prison, plus it does not get powered up by Okita's element. Yama no Otakebi increases the power of earth-attributed techniques for the entire team (!) and gives Evolution a better use when armed. Robin has a huge KP stat, but an ever lower Attack than Musashi. Fortunately, Mangetsu Rush is the strongest Wood Keshin Hissatsu, tied with Maou no Ono, and provides a source of huge raw power. Hayashi no Otakebi increases the power of wood-attributed techniques for the entire team, but isn't of much use for himself.

Zodiac provides a high Attack (and a high foul rate), but has low KP. His Red Prison is weak, does not get powered by Nobunaga's element and his skill Destroyer laves some of his stunned when battled, but increases his foul rate by a lot in return. Not really useful, when you are battling an opposing defender only to be disappointed that Nobunaga has earned a foul.

With their sublime Stamina, the Keshin are not long out and makes them all in all difficult to use.

Mixi Max
As Okita aswell as Nobunaga don't have a Mixi Max, this section will be neglected.

Potential
Note: Skills are not taken in consideration, as they are not part of the statspread.

The Kick stat, undoubtely the most important stat for a forward, is at the moment in hands of Nobunaga, but it will be stolen by Okita. Okita's true Kick stat consists of his Kick (157), his Technique (150-1) and his Freedom stat (67), which adds to 375. In comparison, Nobunaga's true Kick stat consists of his Kick (167), his Technique (133) and his Freedom stat (54), which adds to 353. The difference is clear and the outcome is clear. The only advantage Nobunaga has (and unfortunately keeps) is Dribbling, which is not as important as Kick and Speed.

Conclusion
The statspread that Okita features combined with his outstanding movepool makes him an unpredictable threat and a popular choice among japanese players. In fact, he is the sixth strongest striker in the game and really shows it off. With all these advantages, it is clear that Okita is a better striker than Nobunaga.
