Main points you’ve mentioned to us:
Aang has rode on Appa without trouble or quick movements hindering him. And the other members of the Gaang were never disturbed when they rode on Appa’s back either. Going by feats from the show, you’re thinking this through too much.
Aang's been able to ride Appa comfortably and destroy obstacles while he's at it, jumping on and off Appa too. Considering this has happened plenty of times, I don’t see why C-Man can’t just point and shoot.
Sure, let's say one of your arrows happens to land on C-Man. What in your arsenal will actually hurt him? This is assuming the arrows are going to hit him, considering Appa's already a good dodger himself, dodging Fire Nation bomb-comets frequently throughout the series. And Combustion Man is disorienting or KOing your team with his blasts.
Katara and Sokka were just fine when they first started riding Appa. Throughout the series "Yip, yip" was all it took. From there it was steering the reigns on Appa’s horns. And remember, all team members here are informed of their objective and Appa has been shown to be a very obedient animal.
On your first example/feat, the arrows are too small to damage Appa, you’ve never shown what damage they can do to penetrate Appa’s hide.
The second example, how do you suppose Robin and Speedy are going to time this correctly to make it hit Appa, considering he’s flying? Considering they’ve never used this tactic against an opponent before and only on themselves.
Okay, so when did this happen?
So far, seeing all your scans, I haven’t seen anything that can potentially hurt Appa let alone get him out of the fight. The explosion on scan 2, might do the trick of bothering Appa, but not hurt him. He’s tanked a Fire Nation comet and shrugged it off before. Unless you can prove to me they are indeed arrows that can indeed scare or hurt Appa.
I’m guessing you’re thinking Aang is my MVP? I never mentioned that. Everyone on my team has their unique strengths, and no one here is a particular stand-out from another.
As for being better in gear, Aang can use his air staff to significantly enhance his air-attacks and block and blow away any projectiles thrown at him. As for fighting abilities, maybe he’s lacking in the h2h department against Robin, but even without his airbending, he can be almost untouchable with his style of fighting. But I don’t suppose it’ll ever come down to that. You also haven’t proven enough of your combatants’ agility or power output to prove that they’re in the same league as Aang.
“speedy is close to robin in a lot of stats and down below goes to show that Speedy can adapt fairly quickly as well to situations that are given before him. This means he can adapt to your team, so in other words the longer you fight the better he will have at breaking ur team with just him by himself. Let's note that since two of your teammates are basically together this will limit your amount of fighting ability by quite a margin as well, since you know that is your great plan.”
I don’t see what your stats graph is supposed to prove. We’re going by feats here, not by the hearsay and charts of what the Teen Titans show provides us with.
And since when was it that that the scenario would give Speedy or Robin the advantage just because the battle prolongs? Just because your team can adapt to the environment reasonably, does not mean you guys can win. If anything, you guys will be on the run constantly from our attacks from above and on the ground. Aang and Appa also already have experience in the Foggy Swamp. Aang especially, as that is where he dealt with the Yuyan Archers. He’s dealing with 1 of those archers here that has some enhanced gear but shoots slower arrows.
Also if Robin has dodged Speedy’s arrows throughout their battle, why should Aang have any more or even as much trouble?
Did you actually see the videos I posted? It was virtually impossible to dodge C-Man’s attack unless you’re Aang. The only way they could avoid it was to use cover. Airbending from Aang was the most viable option to protect them from that blast. Huge piles of boulders didn’t do and neither did large tidal waves of water.
Combustion Man has never lost focus, unless you can prove that.
And in your feat, it shows Robin’s losing his balance considerably and even falls of the platform he’s on. That’s where Aang’s speciality comes in. Disrupt the opponent’s balance and take away their base. While Aang can not only comfortably dodge projectiles, blasts of sorts of fire, tidals of water, large boulders, he can counter-attack while he’s at it.
That’s right, Speedy might be more maneuverable on his feet, but no one really survives a blast from C-Man unless they have really good cover.
Not only that, but it’s going to take some really good arrows to neutralize Appa or C-Man in the sky. Considering they have very good durability, they’re flying and they’re attacking you. We have a lot more chances of attacking you, than viceversa. Let alone, even if your arrows to reach us, it’s hard to believe it’s going to hurt us.
And if your boy really wants to jump high up in the air like that, he’s going to be smacked out of the air by Aang. Aang has the ability to manipulate air, he’ll take Speedy out of the battle if he chooses to take flight like that and attack.
Speedy’s stopping a small projectile aimed straight at him. I don’t see how he’s going to stop the combustion boom blast head on when it could come at any direction in the sky. While he has to deal with a master airbender on the ground.
Aang’s already proven his maneuverability is better. (Aang v. Ozai Feat.)
How? He was clearly struggling looking at his face and lost his balance while doing so. Falling off the rock he was on.
When did he do this?
C-Man’s booms travel faster, and the concussive force behind them is considerable more explosive and cover a larger area than that of the lasers you’ve portrayed.
Also Aang can perform that feat and perform it better.

Then Robin get’s trashed after that and in his later fights.
How is Robin even going to touch Aang first off?
Aang’s reflexes and air-bending powers allow him to deflect any projectiles thrown at him or his team members. With his airbending staff, it’d make the job much easier.
Let me say that Appa wasn’t going for the kill at the time.
IF he wanted to kill Zuko he would’ve. If you see later in the video, he tries to scare off Zuko. And later in the series he even grows fond of Zuko. Not only that but Aang was having a considerable upper-hand in their fight in that video, so Aang had it handled. And that brings me to my next point, Appa will kill if he see’s his life being threatened or if he see’s Aang’s life being threatened. Considering they’ve very close-bonded friends since they were very young, they’re not going let each other get hurt and let it flow.
Batman
Just because there is no prep, does not mean we can’t use the time from the battle to strategize. This means we’re not taking time apart from the battle for tactics. In this case, Aang’s explaining how riding Appa works. And just because there’s no prep, does not mean we have to attack you guys head-on without any tactics. Aang whispers to C-Man to say yip-yip the code-word to take off and the code-word to land. And he shows how to hold the reins in-flight. Done. That’s not even prep.
It shows how Batman uses the environment, sure. But how is he going to kick a tank full of water above someone or grab a pile of rocks and damage someone in the midst of the forest. He has no experience in the Foggy Swamp let alone any forests. Neither do any of your other members, while Aang and Appa do, in this specific swamp. It will help Appa locate your people, which will be another factor that will help out C-Man. On your 3rd scan, Batman’s simply using his superior maneuverability against Bane. While Batman’s already outmatched in that department against the master airbender. On the fourth scan, Batman is good against stealth grabbing a no-name fodder, which probably even C-Man can do. Joking aside, I have no question Aang can do the same against that criminal, and two-face and all of Gotham’s villains in a jiffy.
Impress me!
Remember, we’re talking about the 1990’s animated version here. When has he shown stealth against Bane or the Joker, ever? Sure, he might use his batarangs undercover, but utilization of stealth takedowns or solid prep? I think not from what I’ve seen.
Yes, I have. And Zuko has never touched or harmed Aang for the matter. While Aang still maintains his upper-hand in power and skill by the end of the series.
On all your scans, Batman’s throwing his batarangs at a very slow rate at unprepared obstacles who don’t even know they’re going to be hit. While Aang can easily dodge and counter-attack with his staff.
Tell me the better environment you’ll run to where you can block and evade C-Man’s attacks, lose a gaining Aang, and an overseeing Appa. Not only that, but Aang’s established experience in the Foggy Swamp, his reflexes and agility will negate your stealth. And if your team tries to run and hide as a tactic, how are you guy’s going to attack us without it backlashing?
Since when?!
Like I said, Aang had trouble evidently because he was holding back. But to be honest, we won’t even need to kill your team to secure a win. Aang’s fast enough to disarm your all, and if you guys can’t learn to stop, easy, Combustion Man blows you guys up without any questions asked. Appa will intervene too if he see’s you guys trying to utilize sucker punches.
“We can move faster than you can even imagine and lets not over play C-man he isn't the most intelligent man there is, and lets be real one little distraction caused him to lose sight of the avatar and the gaang, something my people are experts at.”
Well allow me to ask you guys, how would you know what I’m imagining?
Second off. Combustion Man finds these prodigy of kids (the Gaang) with the Avatar when a third of the world where looking for the Avatar. Maybe even more. And no one could find them. But I would hardly call this stupid, or less intelligent man out of anyone here. I’d call that perceptive, tactical, heck even smart to be able to find the Avatar on his own, find his friends and be able to damage their base. I’d call that impressive when he found the Gaang when no one else could and on top of that gave them a run for their money.
And when was this, that he was so distracted to lose sight of Aang and his friends?
And you also mention your people are experts at that. At what? Getting distracted?
No he hasn’t, but he has dealt with worse. Concussive fire blasts, huge Fire Nation comet-bombs, huge boulders from elite Earth Nation soldiers, pure-lightning strikes, archers with a dead-on accuracy, and more. Also the disappearing act you showed, shows the Teen Titans falling back most likely through a sewer line in the midst of San Francisco through the use of a smoke bomb.
What’s the point if Aang can’t blow out of the smoke with his staff? What difference will it make. Also there are no places to simply disappear in a forest. And a forest, like I said, that Aang has experience being in.
Nearly all your disappearing acts require the use of gear, which will simply be blown away by Aang’s airbending.
Not only this, but how will you guys’ perform this act with different members and a completely unique environment?
You feat never showed how long Bane was trapped in those ropes. And not to mention, that rope took quite a while to reach Bane, with the camera following the rope for a good 1.5-2 seconds after escaping Batman’s hand, until it completely wrapped itself around Bane. That’s more than enough time for Aang to dodge it or deflect it and even use it against Batman. Even if Aang was to get caught, he could air-spiral out of it. He has a counter-option for his air manipulative powers for every gear you put out. And considering how slow the rope is, C-Man could blow it up from the air.
General Mentions & Clarifications
Aang throughout the series has proven to multi-task and has proven to be successful by counter-attacking with his passive aggressive fighting style. This style has given all of his enemies trouble.
Appa’s consistently one-shotted Mai and Ty Lee, 2 really famous fighters in the A:TLA series for their fighting styles through their non-bending finesse.
“Aang also isn't blowing arrows away as we've seen that he doesn't do it to the Yuyen archers to which guess what? Captured him... With a bow and arrow, and speedy is just as good and can shoot tons of more arrows faster, more accurate, and even more deadlier.”
Let me make it clear that Aang only lost to the Yuyan Archers because his friends, Sokka and Katara were very sick, and he was collecting frozen frogs to heal them. If he wasn’t collecting the frogs at the same time as he was evading the arrows from the Yuyan Archers, he would have escaped. And if he wanted to, could have defeated them. Prior to him trying to collect the frozen frogs, he dodged every single arrow shot at him while noticing the army of archers that really have a 100 & hit ratio.
Speedy is not only a lone archer here, but in his fight against Robin, Robin consistently dodges almost every arrow Speedy throws at him. And dominates the fight eventually. Considering Aang is faster than Robin in all aspects and has legitimate feats to show he performs very well against archers, he should have no problem dealing with Speedy. He’s not dealing with anything new here. He is in fact dealing with much, much less arrows; one of those archers. And even then, it's debatable whether Speedy's marksmanship skills are on par with 1 Yuyan archer's abilities. Speedy's arrows from what I've seen are only slightly amped.
Though I’ve shown you the feat above where in fact C-Man has tanked his own blast. The only reason he died was because his 3rd eye was disrupted and the platform he was on was too weak to withstand his own attack. So it crumbled and he went down with the infrastructure. He did not blow himself up, it was a the effect of the force of the blast blowing up the platform he was on.
Well through-out A:TLA, they have never shown what the airbender training regimen was, so how would you know exactly?
