I think we are talking about Aang at the end of Season 3 and his showings in LoK flashbacks.
S1,S2 Aang didn't even learn every single element. S1, he didn't even learn Waterbending til the end of S1.

well, the LoK flashbacks are kinda over kill, seeing as he's had years to perfect them. He's 40, plus a hundred years, give or take.

Round 1 I can see Korra winning.... But other than that, we will have to wait till Season 2 to figure all that out.

In Korra's wiki it says she already mastered energybending and has adept in airbending. Never watched the show fyi

wrong ...... she has only just learned both air bending and energy bending that was bestowed upon her by Aang himself ...... but she is not a master yet ..... she also lost her other elements ..... she is only a airbender currently as of todays episode ......

D: That sucks. So she knew fire bending, earth bending, and water bending? But know she only knows a little bit of air bending and energy bending? :/

yep ..... Imon took her other bending away .... but after that she used air on him ... and beat him .... then Aang taught her the Avatar state and energy bending later .... so she has all the elements in avatar state .... but not naturally ........

Ummm, about that, she has all of her elements normally even without the Avatar state plus airbending and a little energy bending. Aang basically gave that back to her when he taught her energy bending. What Amon/Noahtokk did was completely reversible by energy bending and you're saying that she wouldn't have her own bending back after what Aang did? Also she knows the forms for airbending from what Tenzin has taught her so she's not as inept as airbending as everyone is saying she is.

she hasn't done them outside of Avatar state beyond that point .... so i have no reason to believe she has it all back .... she was in Avatar state when she did that bending after the visitation with Aang .... she knows the forms for it .... but that was just basic air bending ....... she isn't experienced ..... and it's only been a few months .... she didn't learn much more than basic air bending ........

Energy bending allows the taking away and restoration of bending as well as the passing of knowledge how to energy bend. So you're saying that she would restore everyone else's bending but not her own? Yeeeeaaaa, no. Being the Avatar is far too important to her. I'm not saying she's a master airbender, I'm just saying she's not completely inept. There is a difference. Remember when Iroh was teaching Zuko firebending? The basics saved his butt against Admiral Zhao. But Aang stomps effortlessly, he has FAR better feats, especially when he fought Ozai in the Avatar state.

God I love to argue. Anyway. Aang's feats aren't that high as we continue to remember them. Let's look back. 1.Anng taking out a navy fleet : there were bombs on board or weak points that he exploited. Korra had multiple bending proof tanks that she fought against and won; with help I admit but Aang was assisted too. 2. When Aan took out the navy fleet at the north pole: he was in avatar state which was only triggered by the death of the moon spirit, and he was given help by the water spirit too. 3.Aang destroying the giant drill penetrating Ba sing Se: IT wasn't his plan, it was Sokka's. Second it was primarily because Kitara and Toph were blocking the passage for the waste that allowed the build up. Aang only had the cout an x in the hull which looked like it took twenty or so minutes and then drive a wedge in it. So this feat was his alone. 4. Fighting against Ozai and winning: you mean the five minutes of running and then having the avatar state have to kick in to help him . . . My point is were are exaggerating his feats and experience way too much plus he's had plenty of enemies he's almost lost against  and some were far less trained than Korra. Let's give a list. 1.Zuko: he's a great fire bender but he lost his cool most of the time and was beaten by many other fire benders and Kitara. It wasn't till season 3 he got a cool on himself. 2. The Dai lee or something likt that: who almost captured him. Granted they were badass but he had a hard time dodging attacks. 3. The archers sent by Zhao: Yes they were great marksman but still, for someone you call Soooo agile and elusive that not only countered his beding prowess but even captured him. And they were not trained in anti-bender combat. You could argue that Korra was captured by the equalists but again they were anti-bender specialists with technology that stun them. Plus they attacked from the shadows or with disguises a large portion of the time. 4. Sparky Sparky boom boom man (Sokka named him: The assassin Zuko sent who could only fire in a straight line. Yeah, Aang had to run his ass the entire time and it was Sokka who took him out. Aang dodged a good portion of the time but who couldn't get a fire off at him because of  continuos suppressive fire. Hmm, continuos suppressive fire, sounds like Pro bending, oh, as in the sport Korra trained at and made it to the finals were she dodged fire from three people at the same time all using different elements. Hmmmmm! And she only lost the tournament becuase the ther team was blatantly cheating. BIG FREAKING HMMMMMM! 5. Ozai: as I said before, he was running almost the entire time. The onyl time he came into confrontation was when he went into the boulder and almost died, which he needed the Avatar state to take over. Surprising how many times he needed the avatar state to save  his ass. 6. Yakown: This one really isn't during his season but I have to at least mention it, he lost to a blood bender and again almost died if not for the avatar state. Korra fought someone who was not only a better blood bender but was trained in  anti-bender fighting styles and won. 7. Jet: a guy who fought without bending almost beat him in a fight. My gosh. I mean, Aang is good and all but the only time Aang has a chance of winning against Korra is from season 3. I'm not saying he can't win but if he does, this Stomp that you keep mentioning is completely outlandish. As for Korra's feats, lets take a look. 1. Pro-bending to the finals 2. Beating Equalists who fight in a manner Aang had trouble with. 3. Beating Amon. Granted I'd say she got a cheap shot in and he had to run away because he was exposed but I'm sure Amon is way harder to fight than Ozai. 4. Fighting anti-bender mecha tanks. Yeah she lost against them the first time around be she won then on. All of Korra's feats included her fighting them head on where as Aang's feats usually included the avatar state or running. That's not to say running is always a bad strategy, but it's not a guaranteed winning one, we saw how that worked out against the archers, the psychic fire bender, Azula, the Dai lee (seriously someone put the right name in later on), or Ozai, hell even Zhao. I mean he got him to burn his boats but that didn't stop him from killing the moon spirit now did it.

Assuming they can both enter the Avatar state? Korra. Why? Avatar state = all previous Avatars plus current. Korra has one more than Aang does - Aang himself.

Aang with such ease. Season 1 of Korra put such emphasis on how important being evasive can be which Korra hasn't of the hang at all and her straightforward style would make her such an easy target. Plus, Aang would dodge her with ease, has superspeed and is far far superior at long range. It would literally be a blowout lol

Again, you're exaggerating Aang a lot. If he was so great at long range he would have beaten the archers, the assassins who could bend psychic fire beams, the tanks. His long range capabilities aren't that great, not to mention there have been enemies who have been abe to punch through his bending. Aang is evasive but only with the inclusion of bending and he needs a lot of roo to do it. Korra can have limited space and still dodge a multitude of attacks. Examples, Boomie vs Aang. Aang was running all over the place and when he lost places to run who couldn't evade that well. Korra built up her evasiveness significantly, she learned the methodology of air bending dodging without air bending, which I could argue would make her much better at it since again, she can maintain her ground while still evading all attacks. Besides, it was only one episode that placed emphasis on her dodging, one. And that was like the second episode anyway. Yes, she is a bit straight forward but if watch the episodes you see how far she improved. Besides, Tenzin's evasiveness is very similar to Anng's and he was getting hit all the time. Please, if you're going to place your vote and claim a "stomp" of the other, apply actual facts and also place the faults of your victor so it's easier to sympathise with.

That's actually a good point, she would also have older Aang. I think Korra should take this easily simply because she is older and actually wants to be a good fighter so there is nothing wrong with Aang losing to her when she she is a good bit older than and more developed than he is.

The bending in Korra is at a much lower level than the bending in the first series. Also, Korra's bending has been corrupted by Pro Bending, and her forms have turned into basically generic boxing. She's much less of a martial artist than Aang was.

The best form of fighting involves incorporating the best techniques in taking someone down. The reason she wanted to watch pro-bending was to learn the techniques they have and pro-bending corrupting her way of fighting is pure make believe on your part.

I really like Aang as a character but he was 13 or 14 when the series ended and I'll say again there is nothing wrong if Korra is a better fighter and in a sense she is him but with a more aggressive personality.

The reason why is Pro Bending restricts bending to certain movements, and most of these are inefficient ways to win in a real fight. No vital spots, no head or face, etc. Pro Bending has nothing to offer in a real fight, because sport martial arts are not real fights. This is the reason Tenzen did not want her to go, because it's a bastardization of true bending arts. This is the view held by most true practitioners of martial arts.

@ComicStooge No idea how to fight an air bender eh? She trained under a more disciplined air-bending master who taught her the physical and spiritual technique of air bending and she doesn't know how to fight against it eh? We saw Tenzin get taken out by people who don't know much about air bending. . . .  -_-

I agree with the normal philosophy of that but Pro-Bending can be applied to lethal points and as they play they do go for weak points, that's how they win in tournaments. Because they have to, most of their actions on the fly and they are more likely to react faster and more appropriately to attacks than most benders. They are only restricted by zones and head shots. Otherwise they are performing any kind of martial art bending they want. We can see this when they spot the weakest player, prey upon injuries like the opposing team did on Bo Lin during a match when his arm was broken. They hit his arm mercilessly, and even at the finals when the opposing team was cheating it showed they could easily apply their skills  on the environment. Plus probender scan be as rough as they want since we've seen people taken to the hospital frequently, and it was without penalty; they fight just as any other bender would. And again, Korra has had training from masters of each bending and still does while she's pro-bending, so I doubt she's having her years of bending training corrupted by maybe a few months of pro-bending.

I'm going with Aang. I was pretty amazed at how she used her water bending, but Aang's air bending is outstanding. I mean, he could easily create a vaccuum and suffocate her or something in round 2. Just like she could blood bend him though. But I don't still don't know about that, because I'm not sure if she'd be able to hold her concentration long enou-oh wait...can she blood bend? Round 1 started as a toss up, but I still give it to Aang. Training's one thing, but he's been in life and death fights much longer than her and takes her on experience. So round one and 2 for Aang. And three for Korra, only because they're allowed avatar state and she's as strong as all the Avs.

You have this idea that old traditional fighting styles are superior and as someone who understands the theory behind fighting and having explained it numerous times you have to understand that someone who has this idea of a pure martial arts is severely limiting the efficiency of how they take another man down. You have to think of fighting as a high risk sport and like almost every sport we have only really looked at how to be as efficient as possible in the last 30 or 40 years.

The best fighters to have ever existed are probably in the UFC right now because these individuals are gathered from a large selection pool and have the best possible diets and training. Think of Tenzen as someone stuck in tradition and his change of heart when he witnessed the benefits of branching out.

@ComicStooge: Yes they where aggressive unlike Aang but most of them where generic soldier mooks.

I'm not speaking for myself, really. And I don't necessarily disagree with you. I'm just stating the general opinion of real-world masters and applying it to Korra. But I do consider martial arts in a sport environment to be counter-intuitive, as most vital spots and areas that martial arts target first are off limits. Which is why it turns into a grappling, boxing or wrestling match.

That being said, I'm sure just about any MMA fighter could kill me with his bare hands.

Efficient grappling is the best way of taking down your fellow man h2h it just doesn't look great in the moves or comics, you train on your stand-up to avoid having your faced getting caved in while getting close enough.

Aang with ease. I actually found it disheartening when the series first started and she'd already had 3 when she was just a small girl so to me she missed the tarining and hardwork Aang had to go through to learn them . I mean yes she had to train to perfect them but Aang had to build his from the ground up not to mention his learning them on the run was more motivation then Korra has. Not to mention Korra's more hotheaded in cotrast to Aang's calm like nature which will definetly come into play here. Korra has a more Kyoshi type nature i regards to previous avatars to me. If it's a battle of the AS then Aang wins as he has better control of it

I just marathoned LoK and finished about 14 minutes ago. I gotta give this to Aang with ease also. Also people keep bringing up the seasons disparity between the shows when that doesn't matter really. We saw from the start that Korra was a child prodigy(knew 3 elements as a baby) so her excuses go way out of the window. Aang only knew how to air bend at the beginning of the show. So we have a 17 year old girl who was a child prodigy and handed all the masters in her world on a silver platter to train with. Then we have 12 year old Aang who worked his butt off and searched the planet to find his trainers and did this all in the span of about a year. Ya considering all that we have been shown and know, she should be like Super Avatar but she's not even as impressive as season 1-2 Aang, who could already enter the Avatar state at the beginning of the show.

The spiritual upbringing of an Air nomad would help greatly when trying to access the avatar state. Bar her first encounter with a chi blocker Korra has performed incredibly well in all the more normal fights the problem is the LOK has a lot more outlandish fights with opponents armed with equipment that wouldn't even be possible in are society and benders with incredibly powerful mutations.

Because we all know that having time to learn something over a period of years in a safe environment is much less fulfilling then rushing to master three things at once over the course of two years.

I actually found it disheartening when the series first started and she'd already had 3 when she was just a small girl so to me she missed the tarining and hardwork Aang had to go through to learn them . I mean yes she had to train to perfect them but Aang had to build his from the ground up not to mention his learning them on the run was more motivation then Korra has.

Because we all know that having time to learn something over a period of years in a safe environment is much less fulfilling then rushing to master three things at once over the course of two years.

Well actually the whole entire Last Airbender series only lasted a course of 10 months but sarcasm aside Korra was basically handed 3 elements from the very beginning whereas Aang had to learn his on the fly. Yes it took Korra offscreen years to perfect and master those 3 elements but so did Aang too because even during the final battle he still had not completely mastered the other 3 yet. What's worse is that even though Aang hadnt mastered all 3 elements yet he stil has better showings then Korra whose had years to master all of her elements(minus Air since she just learned it) Thats my take on it though

Oh, as a quick reminder as to why Korra had a hard time learning the spiritual side and airbending, it's partially if not almost all because Aang was shot with lightning in the back. As stated by the fortune teller (or something lie that) "The next Avatar will be burdened because of this." I'll admit Aang has shown better feats but isn't that becuase he's been given the chance to? COnsidering all her enemies were on the ground doing hand to hand combat, we really have no idea of what her feats could be. Imagine Aang's season's of Avatar, now take all the navy scenes, the amry chasing them, and leave it to just the close quarter fights. LEaving everything else aside, Aang only had to do amazing feats when fighting against something epic. And again he has help when doing these epic feats. It's not all just him. And yes he does have better control over the avatar state but that took three season to achieve. So, again, we don't know what Korra can do yet. That said, that also gives reason to doubt Korra I suppose. Either way, this stomp isn't going to happen. This won't be easy for either to win.

Aang owns each round with his better bending skill and technique .... Aang trained with masters in each discipline of bending ... Korra didn't have to go through rigorous training like Aang did ... she isn't a master of any of the bending like Aang is and can't preform half of the feats he can and has throughout his run as the Avatar ... Aang stomps

I never said Aang hadn't mastered airbending. My point was that, by the end of the series, airbending was still the only element he had fully mastered.

Korra is a confirmed master of 3 of the elements. Aang only mastered air, he was able to use the other 3 well but he had yet to obtain the rank of master. Korra is 19 so it makes sense that she should be a lot more skilled than a 13 year old and I've already mentioned how she is a lot more aggressive and learns bending to beat people, Aang's pacifist nature has shown to be a major disadvantage when fighting and learning the more offensive styles.

Even though I enjoyed Korra's season, my main complaint was how weak she was compared to Aang. She was always getting beatup lol! And Aang had tougher villains to fight imo. The fights in his season felt more epic. Plus Aang is a more level-headed and thoughtful person -vs- Korra being more impulsive and her emotions can get the better of her.

I give all rounds to Aang. I think he out smarts and out skills her.

Maybe wait for Korra to master all the elements first? Korra is horribly outmatched here. Give her more time to master all the elements.

Aang stomps all rounds.

You aren't serious, fighting defensively is never a good thing if your goal is to win. There are lots offights where Aang is pushed back because he is on the defensive but manages to win through skill/and or having access to more than one element.

Korra has mastered 3 Aang has mastered only 1 but has learned all the others. Korra is a prodigy just like Aang, is older which is a huge advantage and has no poor showings. If anything Korra has done incredibly well in every standard fight she has been in only losing because of tech or against benders with unusual abilities.

If you watch LOA all his named villains except one where teens everyone else he fought was a normal faceless soldier, he got beaten every time by the one chi-blocker the show had. LOK is a much darker show and they constantly up'ed the pressure, the villains seemed to gain new tech every episode and Amon is hands down the most dangerous non-avatar human that either show has had.(bar original Iroh)

Aang should win all rounds he is too powerful. Also he knows how to redirect lighting AND bend lightning! Korra can't do that.

We don't know that, Korra's never had lightning fired at her but we do know Aang's never beaten a chi-blocker but Korra's beaten multiple.

........... all of that is so wrong .... cuz korra got owned by a no name chi blocker .... Ozai was more powerful over all than Amon, and was more successful in almost destroying the world, all you are talking about is how you thought Amon was a better developed villain (which i think he kinda was) which has nothing to do with this fight ... you are getting off topic ... Korra can be called a "master" but Aang has better feats in almost every form of bending besides fire since he used it less ..... other than that he had more (shown) "mastery" over his elements than Korra ever did and he always kept his cool in the heats of battle unlike Korra who wasn't even a fully realized Avatar yet, by the EOS, Aang was a master of all the elements, confirmed by your shifty databases or not ...

He encountered her at least twice and she took him down every time, Toph was the one that took her down in the end.

Excatly so him fighting on the defense didn't play to his disadvantage if he won...You're contradicting yourself...Aang always relied on his native element which is air in most of his battles throughout the season...Air is the best bending for combat being that their main advantages are speed, agility and dexterity...Korra for some reason relies on fire most of the time (even though water is her native element) she's hot headed and aggressive like you said...Aang has fought many benders with the same traits (Zuko/Toph/Admiral Zhao/Jet) being an aggressive bender doesn't equal a win...Aang beats Korra due to skill alone...

I can only recall one incident where Ty Lee chi-blocked Aang (and Toph for that matter) and that wasn't a fight. I believe it was in Ba Sing Se when the gang was in disguise and got caught. Ty Lee knocked them out from behind.
