That doesn't mean they trained combining attacks, and i very much doubt this is supposed to be about the old versions of Katara and Toph anyways.
Oh yeah not older Katara, regardless they are both waterbenders, practice southern style, and would be a lot more amicable than Toph and Azula, who I don't imagine having good teamwork at all.
Team 2 will not just stand there and let it happen.
Neither will team 1 be easily stopped, it only takes a few seconds which is easily do-able to throw a huge tidal wave that one member of the opposing team can't counter and the other would struggle or outright be overpowered.
Korra can't do that here in an effective way if they don't get prep and ice spikes are crap against either,
It wouldn't be hard at all, especially if she just hoses them down with a wave the size of her second one to hold the spirit cannon in place.
Azula is not forced to do anything if her and Toph don't jump into the water,
The water will be brought to them, their will be puddles or pools everywhere from their waves splashing everywhere.
Katara and Korra have not enough time to build oversized ice wall defenses and ice is anyways a bad decisision here,
They don't need any time they just flash freeze their waves so if an attack fails it will impede their opponents anyway as an obstacle.
Azula herself uses smoke as cover
That's not helping her against opponents with this scale and the ability to cover the entire battlefield in steam they can control and bend.
and is the last person here who would let herself get flash freezed if it is not meant to be a crazy version of her,
Any ground based flash freeze or freezing an attack after assaulting her with it would suffice.
and Toph can also just make plattforms or earth walls,
She would have to compete with a team who are both capable of that with more options at their disposal.
while Azula can use fire jets and attack with precision strikes.
Her jets just make her an easy midair target, and her attacks don't have the power to breach their defenses.
And i still consider team 2's versatilty as a bigger advantage, than trying to combine attacks with almost no teamwork.
And i consider Azula as a bit faster than Korra, while Katara is not as fast as Korra.
She's not, Korra certainly has the feats to at the least make it even.
Keeping up decicevlymakes no sense, that would make Katara as fast, which she isn't.
She has the reflexes to keep up, she however doesn't have the acrobatics, balance, or running speed they do.
The spirit was still just blur speed, tagging something big that has blur speed doesn't make Korra herself blur speed.
Blur speed is still faster than Aang in any of his fights with Azula by any stretch, and faster than how any bender usually fights without enhancements, And it's size is irrelevant as it's shape changes a lot as it speeds around.
That is a crazy precision and way more than just an alright speed feat feat, because flawlessly hitting a certain point of a target while you have no time to aim, in movement, while Azula also already made moves to avoid possible attacks of several opponents already targeting her is the kind of precision you need in combat.
I'm not talking about sniping with time to aim like a combustion bender or even more an archer would do, if that was the misunderstanding here.
It's completely inferior to Korra's feat with the mech by a significant degree.
Azula doesn't have a feat comparable precision wise at all.
Azula don't lacks variety or power at all,
She falls behind to a huge degree to people who can knock back warships, incapacitate giant mecha suits, and block factory busting AS attacks. The only thing she has comparable is lightning which as Katara showed isn't the useful against team 1. Team 1 also have a lot more ways to approach the battle.
her lightning never needed any water connections, water everywhere makes it just a lot easier if Azula don't gets dumbed down or made crazy, and if Azula would have the same scale like anyone of the other 3 which isn't the same like power would i don't have this conversation with you, because i don't debate mismatches.
If there is water everywhere she just increases the chances of hurting herself or Toph, once the battlefield is flooded.
Oh yeah not older Katara, regardless they are both waterbenders, practice southern style, and would be a lot more amicable than Toph and Azula, who I don't imagine having good teamwork at all.
That is not enough without dedicated training to pull effective combiniations off against such opponents, Azula and Toph don't need nearly the same amount of teamwork, and Azula has already proven that earthbenders like the Dai Li are a good support for her.
Neither will team 1 be easily stopped, it only takes a few seconds which is easily do-able to throw a huge tidal wave that one member of the opposing team can't counter and the other would struggle or outright be overpowered.
In a few second get Korra and Katara killed several times over, that is even already too much time in a fight between skilled normal humans.
It wouldn't be hard at all, especially if she just hoses them down with a wave the size of her second one to hold the spirit cannon in place.
It would be impossible to pull off, except that fight gets written by someone who wants it to happen, which we don't assume on here.
The water will be brought to them, their will be puddles or pools everywhere from their waves splashing everywhere.
Puddles or pools of water don't matter if Azula don't gains Toph's blindness, and if it would be that easy to bring the water around opponents would waterbenders never lose.
They don't need any time they just flash freeze their waves so if an attack fails it will impede their opponents anyway as an obstacle.
They obviously need time, these techniques and combinations most definitely don't fall under the talking is a free action rule and need to travel.
That's not helping her against opponents with this scale and the ability to cover the entire battlefield in steam they can control and bend.
Neither Katara nor Korra can nearly cover the whole battlefield in steam, and they are even less able to control that much steam at once.
And even worse, Azula is used to move through thicker smoke without sight and Toph don't even cares if someone tries to impair her sight, Katara and Korra would hurt themselves more than the opposing team with such an experiment.
Any ground based flash freeze or freezing an attack after assaulting her with it would suffice.
Any good hit of Azula or Toph to the body of either opponent would suffice, but unfortunately is it not a fight between crash test dummy's.
She would have to compete with a team who are both capable of that with more options at their disposal.
In a 1 vs 2 yeah, here no.
Her jets just make her an easy midair target, and her attacks don't have the power to breach their defenses.
Azula will not go prima donna in mid air, and her attacks have plenty power to breach their defenses.
She's not, Korra certainly has the feats to at the least make it even.
No, Azula is most definitely a bit faster.
She has the reflexes to keep up, she however doesn't have the acrobatics, balance, or running speed they do.
Which makes her effectively slower to a markedly degree.
Blur speed is still faster than Aang in any of his fights with Azula by any stretch, and faster than how any bender usually fights without enhancements. And it's size is irrelevant as it's shape changes a lot as it speeds around.
Not in a reasonable comparison, to tag a big sized target moving in predictable patterns means you don't need nearly the same speedthe target has.
t's completely inferior to Korra's feat with the mech by a significant degree.
I am supposed to be impressed by Korra maneuvering water into 2 standing out targets, of a big and very slow moving mech?
It comes not even close to Azula's feat in terms of direct precision in combat.
Korra made a huge jump that covered a large distance, backflipped midair to dodge, while keeping hold of the water, inserted it into the pipes midair after they were turned further away from her, and continuously bent the water perfectly into the mech's pipes UPSIDE DOWN
So Korra showed agility that Azula could obviously replicate, and that she can control her water very nicely.
Azula doesn't have a feat comparable precision wise at all.
Even little Azula's dance before Azulon showed the same degre of control over fire, just without the added agility.
She falls behind to a huge degree to people who can knock back warships, incapacitate giant mecha suits, and block factory busting AS attacks.
No she don't, she just lacks the same scale, and nobody of them nearly blocked the full power of a factory busting Avatar State attack.
The only thing she has comparable is lightning which as Katara showed isn't the useful against team 1. Team 1 also have a lot more ways to approach the battle.
Katara never showed anything against the lightning of the current Azula, and lowballing Azula like Unlimited 1 used to do just weakens your arguments by a lot.
And team 2 has obviously a lot more ways to approach the battle with 2 main and 2 sub elements.
If there is water everywhere she just increases the chances of hurting herself or Toph, once the battlefield is flooded.
Azula will not swimm through the water and then shoot lightning into it.
If we make a fight between a lot more powerful versions of Katara and Korra who exceed even the Avarar State with their crazy steambending feats, a lowballed Azula who loses her power and mind and Toph approaching the fight like crash test dummys, then i agree with most of what you brought up here, but that isn't the fight of this thread at all.
