MF Libra C145WB is better.

As for this combo, I realized I was using B instead of WB, so I repeated the tests. Unfortunately, the results were about the same. MF Escolpio WD145WB scored two wins which I would've classified as lucky wins, but even late hits and slow hits were able to KO it. This has no place in the metagame as a Defense option. At 32g, it's 11g lighter than Libra. 11g is too much of a difference to ignore.

Sorry man, but this combo is incredibly easy to KO.

11 grams, man.
