I finally got around to testing th!nk's defense comparison request for SA165EDS vs BD145EDS. I also added in E230EDS, and was pleasantly suprised. He asked for an attack combo that would not 20-0, so I decided on Flash Scorpio W145MF as the attack combo to test against. I chose it because it won't 20-0, it is well known, and it will show off a little bit of EDS's stamina along with its defence.
No tornado stalling, I went for the KO with Flash. Duo was of course in Stamina mode. When I say "pointing" I mean the largest side of SA165 was facing that direction. And "boost" mode for E230, is where the disk is closest to the metal wheel. (note: I used Sagittario II because it is the heaviest CW I have and Duo doesn't rattle with it)
BB-10
Beylauncher, Beylauncher L/R
Duo always launched first
EDS was never used before these tests, and Flash is fairly new

The attack mode actually worked better defensively. I believe the reason for this is that SA165 would sometimes catch the tornado ridge and the ridge before the exits when Flash would get a hit that would normally KO. Also, it would do this without affecting Duo's stamina much at all.
I was very suprised with E230EDS, especially in boost mode. I still cannot quite figure out why boost mode did better than normal mode defensively. The only thing I can come up with is that Flash did not have as much to grab on to.
