Like I said in another topic, I would get around to doing a full test on ED145, and I finally did amidst studying and stuff. I'll keep the intro short, my defense combo was MFLibraED145WB, I tested this against Quetz90RF and S.Peg100RF; 20 battles apiece; Libra shot first. MFB Attack Stadium.
MFLibraED145WB vs. Quetzalcoatl90RF
1 Draw
Win Percentages: Libra: 7/19 (37%) Quetzalcoatl 12/19 (63%)
Quetz really kind of had its way with Libra here. With a good sliding shoot, Quetz was able to get between Libra's Wheel and ED145. Quetz would either hit Libra out of the middle of the Stadium up near the exit fairly easily and follow up with a solid hit to knock it out of the Stadium, or hit Libra with a solid hit in the first 2-3 hits and knock it out. Libra had 1 win by KO which was caused by Quetz hitting it into the stadium wall and rebounding back into Quetz with enough force to take it out. ED145's free spinning didn't help much for absorbing hits. It was pretty much a complete domination by Quetz.
MFLibraED145WB vs. Storm Pegasis 100RF
1 Draw
Win Percentages: Libra: 9/19 (47%) Storm Pegasis: 10/19 (53%)
It was interesting to see the difference in how Quetz and Storm fought after doing these tests. Storm's smaller Wheel diameter allowed for higher speed rotation in exchange for power, but that allowed Storm to have more consecutive hits (as in, it would hit Libra once, but then stick around for 1-2 more hits before circling the stadium again) on Libra. Storm circled the stadium faster than Quetz as well, which helped facilitate it's KO game. Storm's KO fashion was similar to Quetz's, except for the aforementioned consecutive hits. ED145 played a marginally bigger role, as evident by the 2 win/loss difference, mainly because Storm's power isn't a high as Quetz's, but it still didn't help all that much.
Conclusion
ED145 is a nice gimmick, but it doesn't give as much defensive mileage as C145. ED145 can absorb attacks, but not as well as C145 because it doesn't dissipate the attack nearly as well. It takes pretty good knockback, not as much as WD145 thanks to the free spin gimmick, but it's enough to hurt it against the two top attack type combos in the game right now.
Well, those are my results, I'm interested in seeing what others get when they get their Clay Aries.
Hope this is found to be helpful.
