Avatar Bender Superlatives: Nominations

I added a separate category for coolest Avatar State move as opposed to regular bending moves

@arcus: Yea, it's from part three of "The Rift" though i'm actually still trying to track down the book.

It might be on YouTube, that's where I've read the other ones

@arcus coolest avatar state move: Aang's Koizilla form or this:

@arcus: Aang's Avatar state against Ozai was pretty awesome, it gets my vote.

Also, when does the official tournament voting start?

The best avatar state move was clearly when Avatar Kyoshi CREATED KYOSHI ISLAND.

I am shocked that I can't find that scene on youtube. Humanity has failed me.

Agreed. Aang's Koizilla comes close, but the casualness with which Kyoshi created an island was epic.

12 minutes in

@rijehu:

Hooray! Faith in humanity restored.

Most underrated bender: Aang(earth)

Most unique bender: Huu

Kyoshi creating kyoshi island was mad and powerful, and awesome, a 3-in-1 move.

@norrinboltagonprime21: probably this weekend

Kyoshi creating Kyoshi island

@norrinboltagonprime21: it's gonna be glorious

Should any of the Avatars really be nominated in regards to most powerful? I mean, c'mon...

I would normally go with Kyoshi, but Aang creating a yeager made of earth and moving it was pretty awesome

@deranged_midget:

What do you mean? They can only be in for one element without avatar state, so just as regular benders. I don't think I put any Avatars in most powerful that don't have feats outside the Avatar state...did I?

@gxrevolution96: that is pretty sick

IKR. Very creativity. I am starting to think that AS Aang would beat Korra, just because of that one move.

WHAT IN THE LIVING FREAK!!!!!! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?????

@rijehu In "The Rift Part 2". It came out last week. You can download it here:https://mega.co.nz/#!44AFXA5Y!vPy4zU0WDZADz8f4zVSso6z_BxdIbLwt2_lJqNcOczw

@gxrevolution96: Oh the comics are STILL being released? I have to see this. Why don't they just make another series of the post 100 years war OR let anime do it?

Ok yeah, just completely ignore me right now. I definitely didn't read the nominations list >.<

@deranged_midget: did you have any nominations?

Also, to everyone, I'm hoping to end nominations this weekend. After that, I'd like to have some time to discuss the nominations so people can make a case for who they think would win (not that you have to wait if you want to make a case now).

Then I'll open it up for voting. Any thoughts on what would be the best way to do that?

Most Powerful Bender: Avatar Roku

Most Versatile Bender: Aang (air)

Most Skillful Bender: Toph, Aang, Iroh

Most Unique Bender: Combustion Man

Most Underrated Bender: Tenzin

Most Overrated Bender: Korra (any element)

Most Surprising Bender: Tenzin

Best Fighter: With bending? Iroh

Best as a Non-Bender: Amon and Azula

Most Improved: Bolin and Zuko

Coolest move: Anything with Aang's airbending

Coolest Avatar State move: Aang's elemental sphere and Moon spirit creature

Best personality: Iroh

Most untapped potential: Jinora

@deranged_midget: what element for Roku?

@arcus: Any element to be honest. But probably water (from what we've seen).

@deranged_midget:

I always thought he was a surprisingly powerful waterbender

Do you mean Part 3?

I've had Part 2 on my Kindle for a few months, and I don't remember that fight scene.

@kaang_the_watcher: yeah I think it's part 3

My mistake. Its 3

@Deranged Midget: I would choose either Earth or Air for Roku. He could perform the air spout technique, which is a highly advanced air bending move. Master Level

I'm gonna go ahead and make a few nominations (I know the list in the op isn't up to date but I'll get that fixed before voting starts)

Coolest Move:

Unalaq's ice drill

Most Improved:

Korra (air): she goes from not being able to airbend at all to using moves we never even saw Aang use

@killerwasp@kidphillip@aressword@wbr17@korraspirit@gxrevolution96@jr_avatarexpert@dextersinister@thunderbolt30@nighthunder@metaljimmor@spartankobe@jacthripper@deathhero61@primebonnick@gizmorino@saint_sophie@rijehu@myerlanski@koays@useyourname@stormdriven@justthatkid@hypnosis@pirateking@silverrings@johnfrank120@mitcheii

Last call for any nominations, I'm gonna close it tomorrow-this gives me some time to make any more nominations if I feel like it :)

@arcus: wait just a little confused on what im voting on. XD

Coolest avatar move: when avatar yangchen air bended a whole field when roku was talking about the avatar state.

Coolest Move: Iroh's dragon breath

Best personality: verrick

Most untapped potential: Bolin

oh we're not voting yet, don't worry

When I open voting I'll have a nice clear list of all the different nominations for the different categories (in the op), then you vote on which bender or move you think wins

Coolest move.... mostly because of my reaction the first time they were used.

@koays: nice picks

@arcus: i don't think i have any nominees for now still thinking

@arcus: You still have not added my nomination for most unique bender(Huu).

Here's the categories i'm missing:

Coolest move (please give the move you're thinking of of possible): Zaheer choking, Zuko's fire bending with swords, iron armor toph, rain dome Katara, stair disappearing toph,Aang's marble spinning,Phi'li bent blasts,Bumi's building throwing,bolin's lava wave.

Coolest Avatar State move: Kioshi island creation.

And this is not debatable, come on xD

Best personality: Iroh.

Most untapped potential: Going to say Korra.In the last episode we've seen some awesome remote metal bending, to proof she is getting better, and she will.

How about a worse personality category?

@pierpat:

I didn't add Huu yet? I'll make sure to do that, and the other ones too

Few more nominations:

Coolest move: Tarrlok's water sphere/ice needle combo

Coolest Move: when Korra pulled Unalaq off the water spout (the move right before this gif, this was the best I could find)

@killerwasp@kidphillip@aressword@wbr17@korraspirit@gxrevolution96@jr_avatarexpert@dextersinister@thunderbolt30@nighthunder@metaljimmor@spartankobe@jacthripper@deathhero61@primebonnick@gizmorino@saint_sophie@rijehu@myerlanski@koays@useyourname@stormdriven@justthatkid@hypnosis@pirateking@silverrings@johnfrank120@mitcheii

Any thoughts about the best way to do voting-a poll thread, post and count the votes? Also, would anyone like time to make a case for anyone?

@arcus: tough counting approach for these kind of votes. I'd end up doing it all on excel spreadsheet.

@arcus: i think voting is what i will do, i don't think i have any nominees for the spots, but i know some people who ar gonna win :)
