@byondeon: Ok dude, what are you on about. Tonraq and Unalaq fight on an open street, and Unalaq has visibility the entire time.
If you ignore the fact that Unalaq had literally no open vision on him besides one, attack. The rest was Tonraq hiding behind a wall. Also, Unalaq destroyed it without losing strength of the attacks, whereas Zaheer can't do the same.
Tonraq is hit by three cheap shots which visually injure him as he struggles to stand back up after Eska/Desna hit him from the side, then proceeds to dodge at least 6 of Unalaqs attacks not including the ones he smashes through, or blocks with ice.
He literally isn't visibly injured, nor is he fatigued. And literally Unalaq had no vision on Tonraq for 5 or 6 of his attacks.
How can you definitively say Tonraq was at his best in that engagement?
Because he was..
How long is not long enough to not be at his best?
Days.
He was openly participating in a battle against dark spirits and water benders, and was running, jumping, and bending on screen plenty which would almost certainly factor into his stamina at the very least.
He was literally shown to be at his best in his Unalaq fight, I don't know what else you want..
How exactly did Tonraq have the upper hand in that clip against Zaheer?
He hit him once, tripping him and then dodged attacks and was tripping over his feets when Tonraq was about to beat him, and then was attacked by P'li.
Zaheer dodged that attack and was backpedaling as Zaheer usually does in his engagements, being an airbender.
He was literally tripping and was shown to fall down, before P'li saved him.
There is zero reason to assume Tonraq would've ended the fight there had P'li not blasted him as once again like I said, he does not land a single attack on Zaheer the entire fight.
You.. Do know you don't have to land a hit to win a fight right? Zaheer was literally dodging away the entire time and if you would have actually watched the fight, he literally is tripping due to Tonraq's attacks.
How do you figure exactly that Tonraq isnt outmatched by Zaheer in their second engagement on the cliff?
Because he isn't. He blocked every attack of Zaheer, and he only got hit when he was literally out of water, unable to defend himself from Zaheer's airbending.
Tonraq would've died from that engagement without Kuvira despite having the element of suprise, and a restrained Korra on his side.
A waterbender without water is like a Earthbender without rock and earth. Ofc he wouldn't be able to do anything to Zaheer when the water was gone.
In that engagement Tonraq lands 1 attack on Zaheer while Korra is drawing Zaheers attention and blocking his view of Tonraq. And while yes Tonraq had limited water in that fight, Unalaq doesnt have the same amount of water in this fight as he does in his bout with Tonraq.
Landing only 1? Did you and me watch the same fight?
Not only doesn't it matter if he has less water than he did against Tonraq, as Unalaq is a far greater bender than Tonraq. He would only need 2 pouches to beat Zaheer.
I wouldnt consider Tonraq to be league's above Kya in skill either.
Based on their feats, yes, yes he is.
Kya gave Ming Hua a decent fight in the air temple, and Ming is undoubtedly a superior combatant to Tonraq.
Not only is this not the case, Ming Hua was stomping her, but that doesn't matter in the slightest, Tonraq did much better than Kya did against Zaheer than Kya so doesn't really matter, even though this statement from you is wrong.
Kya has also shown more versatility in her water bending techniques when compared to Tonraq.
No, she hasn't. The only thing she is better at is healing, because Tonraq can't heal, but he is a much better fighter than Kya.
And once again, there is zero evidence that Unalaq wasnt taking his fight against Tonraq seriously, you get a shot of him showing clear frustration as he bends while Tonraq is dodging his attacks.
He didn't take it seriously. He knew that Tonraq was inferior to him, and toyed with him the entire time. Tonraq isn't dodging his attacks, Unalaq can't see Tonraq due to a giant Ice wall blocking his sight..
The only thing you are correct on is that Unalaq wasnt sweating in the slow mo scene despite showing a worried/panicked expression.
He wasn't worried though.
How convenient that you choose to leave out the actual shot where he is sweating which is after he freezes Tonraq, i suppose that's partially my bad for confusing the exact time hes shown to be sweating, but irregardless Tonraq DID make Unalaq sweat, which once again invalidates this notion you have that Unalaq wasn't taking that fight seriously.
He didn't sweat during that fight, nor did he after it, but you can think whatever you want.
