In this battle, Avatar Korra will put her earth and fire bending to the test against a gauntlet of earth and fire benders, how far will she go?

Korra has earth and fire only. No AS

All fights take place in the streets of Republic City. Starting distance is 25 feet. Time is noon

Victory by ko or death

Stage 1: All are in character

  • Round 1: Long Feng
  • Round 2: Mako
  • Round 3: Bolin (earthbending only)
  • Round 4: Azula
  • Round 5: Ghazan
  • Round 6: Toph
  • Round 7: P'li

Stage 2: Korra is bloodlusted. The rest are in character

Same rounds as Stage 1

How far can Korra go?

Korra stops at R5 both stages. Ghazan with lava will be too much for Korra.

R4 and below her opponents have too much deal with.

Regular earthbending and firebending have both been used to block lava, and Korra's got some good raw power too, particularly with morals off

@arcus: I'm aware. It's closer, but I still give Ghazan the edge. Look at his fight with Bolin before he had lavabending. Ghazan pretty much ate all his rock and gave it back as lava. Good fight, I'll say Ghazan

@justicethorpsylocke: course Bolin was still able to defend against lava with rock to some degree. Plus she has fire to consider, and we've seen Mako use fire effectively against Ghazan

@arcus: calm an collected azula up against someone bloodlusted seems unfair. I mean this chick makes people like aang and someone cool headed like sokka lose their cool when powerless i can only imagine what she can do against an emotionally bloodlusted korra. Albiet it would still be very difficult for her.

@primebonnick: bloodlusted doesn't mean emotionally unstable or not thinking clearly (on battle forums at least), just not holding back and going for the kill. Azula was only able to mess with Sokka because of prior knowledge, and she and Aang have history. She doesn't know anything about Korra

@arcus: In round 4 Azula's agility and skill will prove a great obstacle and even though Korra's durability is high she could win a couple times. However Korra is a good fighter all round and her raw power with fire and her skill with earth will probably give her a majority win. In round 5 Ghazan can turn all her earth against her and his lack of morals will give him the win. A bloodlusted Korra might roast him quickly, but I see Ghazan taking it still.

I don't care, she's not reaching Ghazan when he has created distance between them, sets up a defense and attacks her after that. She'll still give him a good fight though, not denying that.

@arcus1: Stops hard at round 4, for both stages.

But could maybe beat Ghazan in stage 2, so he should be at 4.

Korra is a inferior firebender, and got with earthbending the worst possible second element against Azula.

Also isn't even lightning restricted, so instant lightning(for stunning, or knock her to the ground) and quick charge-lightning make it even worse. All this regardless if Korra bloodlusted is or not. I guess you made this as the insane Azula from "the search" was current, right?

In Stage 2 could she possibly beat Ghazan due to speed, but that is just a maybe.

@mial42: Dude.........................., you can't be serious?

That was 1 charged fireattack(and almost off screen), even Azulas charged lightning in the series was better than that.

Let alone that she never did anything else nearly as impressive, just solid-good firebending.

Versatility, control, any other good attacks and especially anything against lightning would be helpful, but not that far too slow + vague attack. Come on there must be anything better you thought about?

@marishtar:

It wasn't extensively charged; you can even see her hanging onto the pole before she fired (unless you think she can charge psychically). Nor is it slow, considering it crossed such a large distance almost instantaneously.

In fact, Korra does have good versatility and control with firebending:

Korra's two weakest elements. She's still highly proficient in both. But I see her stopping at Ghazan.

It was charged, i never said anything about extensively, and like Korra don't let her the few seconds for charged lighting, let Azula her not the few seconds for this. Also was that just a explosive blast, like Azula also did several, Azula would have not the slightest problem to just dodge that or even better just shoot it and let it too explode earlier(even easier with instant lightning).

I'm well aware about Korras firebending, it's her second best element but still inferior to Azula(who is with not much doubt by feats the best non amped firebender). Korra hasn't even dragonfire to match the blue fire, she never deflected fire from a bender even nearly close to Azula(who deflected dragonfire from Zuko, who is also miles above this fodder). Azula is able to cut houses, and her explosives blasted with ease earthshield together with the bender away. Let alone AOE attacks like in the chase or smoke and shadow.

Azula can dodge everything from Korra as well pretty easily, but that's not how fighting works. Instant lightning is faster than any attack of Korra with these elements which is a huge advantage, and even Korra gets knocked to the ground if something like this hits her(especially in the face for example),let alone the stun effect:

Nope sry, Korra is a cool character and extremely strong with all elements and i could maybe see a case for Ghazan in stage 2(cause Korra has a speed advantage), but this is simply the completely wrong opponent with these elements(not even the area is helpful for Korra). Any of the other elements would increase her chances significantly, but she is clearly outclassed in fire, and got with earth the absolutely less helpful element possible against Azula. There is simply nothing she can rly do with that.

It was charged, i never said anything about extensively,

It's fast enough to be used in combat, which is what matters.

and like Korra don't let her the few seconds for charged lighting, let Azula her not the few seconds for this.

Difference is, Korra can put up a stone wall to block for the moment she needs to charge. Azula can blast through the stone, but her regular blasts that she usually uses don't, and her specialized attacks give Korra the time she needs.

Also was that just a explosive blast, like Azula also did several

It was just a really big fireblast, it wasn't explosive:

You can see how the fireblast starts expanding as soon as it leaves Korra's hand, rather than hit something else and then explode.
You can see how the fireblast starts expanding as soon as it leaves Korra's hand, rather than hit something else and then explode.


Azula would have not the slightest problem to just dodge that

You do realize that attack is around the size of an airship, right? Azula's never dodged an attack even remotely close to that size.

or even better just shoot it and let it too explode earlier(even easier with instant lightning).

Which she can't do because it isn't explosive.

I'm well aware about Korras firebending, it's her second best element but still inferior to Azula(who is with not much doubt by feats the best non amped firebender).

I agree it's inferior, but her earthbending gives her the defenses and environmental attacks to make up that gap.

She never deflected fire from a bender even nearly close to Azula.

Technically true, if only because she never fought any other notable firebenders. However it's always been the case that weaker firebenders have been able to manipulate the fire of stronger ones. The best example of this is when Zhao parted JJ's fire wall. The gap between JJ and Zhao is >>>> the gap between Korra and Azula.

Azula is able to cut houses, and her explosives blasted with ease earthshield together with the bender away. Let alone AOE attacks like in the chase or smoke and shadow.

Korra has her own excellent potency feats:

Cutting steel chains.
Cutting steel chains.
Cutting spirit vines.
Cutting spirit vines.

And her best AOE attack dwarfs Azula's.

Azula can dodge everything from Korra as well pretty easily,

She doesn't have the feats to dodge Korra's largest firebending AOE, and she also can't dodge environmental attacks if she doesn't see them coming.

but that's not how fighting works. Instant lightning is faster than any attack of Korra with these elements which is a huge advantage,

Not really all that faster than environmental earthbending:

No Caption Provided

And it doesn't matter if it's faster when it doesn't have the potency feats to do anything.

and even Korra gets knocked to the ground if something like this hits her(especially in the face for example),let alone the stun effect:

No Caption Provided

It made a splash. Am I supposed to be impressed? Even if it knocks Korra over, Korra's recovery is good enough that she was able to recover from an attack that launched her hard enough to dent metal, ground her through said metal, and smashed her through another metal console, all before Kuvira (an extremely fast bender) could follow up.

To summarize:

Korra's fire negation can handle Azula's specialized moves.

Korra's earth shields counter instant lightning, and basic attacks from Azula, as well as giving her time to charge her strongest attack.

Korra's firebending gives her the AOE and power to beat Azula's defense.

Korra's environmental earthbending attacks add another tool to throw Azula off guard.
