CIS = Character Induced Stupidity

Taking into consideration normal battle tactics, does Korra win the gauntlet? Please include a narrative illustrating why the character(s) would use the tactics necessary to win the battles.

Conditions

They are willing to fight otherwise friendly/familiar opponents,

BFR allowed,

Intimidation allowed

Forfeit allowed (after once they understand they cannot win),

Knock Out allowed,

Death (if feasible) allowed.

The fight takes place in an abandoned republic city.

No rest between each battle

Avatar State allowed (if feasible)

Battle

Combatant: Book 4 Korra (psychologically and physically healthy) runs the gauntlet. If necessary Tenzin, Lin and Tonraq will step in (same rules about rest applies to the assist characters).

Round 1 Sokka (Book 3 and comics), Piandao and Suki

Round 2 Asami (electric gloves), Bolin (+ Lava bending) and Mako

Round 3 Toph (book 3 and comics) and Katara (book 3 and comics)

Round 4 Azula (sane book 2 and 3) and Zuko (book 3 and comics with swords)

Round 5 The Red Lotus

Round 6 The White Lotus (book 3 including Piandao without prior knowledge)

Round 7 Aang (book 3 and comics)

Does Korra clear? If so, how?

Stops at 2 because she would play nice and get easily tagged by Asami

Stops at 3. They go easy on Toph and Katara then Toph sinks them with earth while making sly remarks

Thank you for your input. I did say they are willing to fight though.

Why are Zuko and Azula above Toph and Katara?

Red and White Lotus should be above Aang too (assuming no Avatar State)

Not giving my opinion on who wins, just justifying the placement.

Zuko and Azula have more aggressive tactics than Katara and Toph.

I think Korra's experience with Old Toph would allow her to be aware of Young Toph's aptitude. Same with Katara.

Aang is at the end because I believe his tactics would prove to be the most difficult if Korra (and her team) was significantly worn out by the others (no rest). The placement isn't totally based on strength/power.

Korra has familiarity with Mako, Bolin and Asami. Same with the Red Lotus.

The White Lotus of A:TLA are tough, but she can probably out maneuver them.

Toph and Katara are each better than Zuko and Azula, plus as a team they have greater versatility

Facing a team of benders as competent as the Red or White Lotus would be more difficult than facing Aang

King Bumi alone would be a major challenge

I agree that 3 and 4 should be switched, especially since they use the same element so they have less versatility. Also, AFAIK Toph stalemated King Bumi in the comics. I say stops at (current) round 3.

Yes, but Korra has technically seen Toph and Katara's tricks. Not to mention BFR is allowed, young Toph was vulnerable to Air Bending for instance.

Also Avatar State is allowed for both Korra and Aang, however common tactics must be applied to both of them. I will clarify that above.

Ok, with Avatar State Aang's fine as the final round (assuming he's willing to use AS)

@arcus: So how does Korra do?

with help and the Avatar State as a possibility, she should make it to Aang. There is basically becomes an Aang vs Korra if they both use AS (since the others can't fight at that level), and Aang wins that battle
