@frozen: This was the assessment that I was going to give having first saw this thread. A character who walked in at the end of the fight cannot make an accurate assessment as to how the entire fight played out. Moreover, even in just the first page shown alone, just with the way that she’s written, she does seem to be the arrogant and overly confident type.

@ben2004: I wouldn’t say so personally. The comic happens several years after the events of A:TLA, giving Sokka plenty of time to get better (which is pretty good, given how good he got with the sword in the little time he had initially). Azula was also unstable in this period, so arguably past her prime. Add that to the fact that Sokka simply held his own against her, and I find the fear perfectly plausible.

Moreover, the comic book writer was in cahoots with the original creators of A:TLA. So certainly not a gag by any stretch of the imagination.

I don’t know how much this battle would consider the comics, but Sokka was handily matching Azula for a time. Though most of the match was off-panel iirc, the circumstances prior to the on-panel fighting seemed to indicate Sokka was doing pretty well.

I'm going to say Kit Fisto. Somebody used the Eeth Koth fight as a means of comparing earlier - which I think is a good baseline. Even though it might "feel quicker" in comic form, if it was an episode of The Clone Wars or Rebels or The Bad Batch, the whole fight scene probably would have been approximately five minutes (cutaways to the Inquisitors included). And Eeth Koth did well, quite frankly. Especially for someone who hadn't had a proper duel in many years, thus rusty (I speculate), even though he grew in raw power due to his attachments.

Kit Fisto, however - the way he largely dominated Grievous in their duel, is someone who I would say outmatches Eeth Koth. Especially if their fights with Grievous is any means of a baseline for their own dueling/fighting prowess. Personally speaking, I estimate Fisto to be above Eeth Koth in this sense.

Ahsoka in her prime (Rebels-era) also put up an impressive stand against Vader himself - even if Vader was on the offensive, she did well. However, if there's anyone who would probably be more closely matched to Vader, I would have to say it'd be Kit Fisto. I can't see Rebels Ahsoka handling Grievous the way Fisto did.

Moreover, Kit Fisto is one of the best of the Jedi Order. An accolade that is undoubtedly deserved in the minds of the Jedi, canonically speaking. Ahsoka does not have such an accolade that gives her more credibility than it does to the likes of Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi, or Kit Fisto.

One final bump! Anyone have a well thought-out answer?

@shiryu: I didn’t restrict the Avatar State because it’s not necessarily a trump card if Aang doesn’t get the chance to activate it. Both in the show and in the comics, he’s been defeated/knocked out before he gets the chance to use it.

Bump!

Location

Who wins?

If the likes of Cad Bane can stand up to Ahsoka up close, the Galaxy’s Deadliest Woman should be able to beat her. Gamora has proven her fighting prowess against Thanos himself, which is a close quarters match I doubt Ahsoka could replicate. Especially if Ahsoka’s fighting in-character and not “spamming” the Force.

@masterofmatches: Aii! Nice to see you again.
