Air is just wind it takes speeds of about 130 mph to really knock you on your ass
Water is liquid so it deals more damage for less speed
Fire can only burn you and is easily blockable
But a rock the size of your fist sent at your head at about 50 mph is gonna give you brain damage
A wave of solid rock is gonna turn you into flesh paste.
A wall of rock can guard against any form of bending except earth of course.
Its basic science the most dense object will have the higher kinetic energy impact compared to the least dense ones.
So its Earth>Water>Air>Fire
>>84397651
Bloodbending can instantly stop a heart without anyone realizing you are bloodbending.
Guess its a good thing that the rocks in the Avatar Universe crumble at the slightest impact.
>>84397706
And a highspeed rock to the face kills any bloodbender
>HURR IMMA JUST MAH WATER SHIELD
That shield better be dense or the only thing you can doing is slowing down the rock not actually deflecting so its still gonna hit you anyway.
Seriously, Earth is the strongest and most versatile element in Avatar. Fire just destroys and air can make you fly I suppose, but you can do anything with earth. Build a god damn city, design vehicles using only stone parts, and fight all the same.
>>84397740
you can dodge a rock, like it happens in the show. You can't dodge bloodbending.
>>84397740
So a big chunk of solid ice?
>>84397740
If you're up against a blood bender they're not going to let you move. Similarly Zaheer demonstrated similar lethality with Airbending taking the oxygen out of an opponent's lungs making them immobile, except he didn't need a full moon to do it.
Vacuum Lung > Bloodbending (requires full moon or some convenient genetic bull) > Lightning (swift and lethal but may be evaded or redirected) > Lava bending.
>>84397851
Yeah you just can't be in the persons range of sight, plus blood benders ate supposed to be extremely rare
>>84397801
didn't waterbenders build ice cities?
>The OP
>>84397919
not being able to breathe doesn't mean you can't move. The earth queen was just stupid. I can see a bender trying to throw a rock at zaheer while he is trying to choke him.
>>84397921
>you just can't be in the persons range of sight
people constantly evade earthbending, i don't think that is an issue.
Also, they're rare because no one teaches it, not because it's hard to learn.
>>84397651
Why were rocks so weak in the show? How come fire could break rocks? I never understood that.
>>84397851
Jokes on you nerd. I slit my wrists!...
Wait
>>84397801
>most versatile element
Huh, wrong.
Water can take solid shapes, which can emulate next to all the advantages earth have, except density. Granted, if I throw a chunk of ice against a wall of earth, the ice will crack and shit, but water still have the advantage of taking different shapes and states, which make it more unpredictable.
I mean, we saw water being used to punch or blast, to cut (sharp ice blades were common), pierce (ice lances), immobilize (Azula, anyone?), drown and so on.
To be fair, earth is treated like water for most purposes on the avatar universe.
Also, earth didn't had the disgrace of becoming a meme after the avatar film
>>84398002
I always thought that Chi was keeping it together. That's why it breaks as soon as it hits something. It's clearly not a fully dense rock.
>>84398032
this, I imagine bending solid rock fucks its structure up pretty bad and becomes fairly soft unless you really focus on keeping it solid.
>>84397801
in a modern setting, earth being (and metal bending) will be deprecated when plastics, and alloys are used more. Firebenders (specially if they can bender electricity) will be the most versatile in our modern world because almost everything use electricity.
Water could be useful for energy generation and mostly eco-oriented technology. Air will be the best for infiltration and could be used a lot with the military and intelligence service (doing a night air infiltration in a enemy country without being detected and without using a plane to avoid detection).
>>84398088
There was some sort of theory that people in Avatar are physically more resistant (super-human resistance), so that's why a rock could break when hitting them... but in the end it doesn't make sense, as it is shown they can be hurt by normal stuff.
>>84397887
Ice is less dense than rock sorry.
>>84397706
>>>84397651 (OP)
>Bloodbending can instantly stop a heart without anyone realizing you are bloodbending.
Well, if you're gonna allow bullshit 'over' powers, then lets talk metal bending.
Metal bending lets you control metal, right?
Calcium is a metal. (Look it up.)
Your bones are made of metal.
A metal bender can make your skull collapse, or grow a knife blade internally to lobotomize you.
Or, have your ribs grow spikes through your heart.
Or, I dunno, something gentle and non-lethal like weld all your joints together, utterly paralyzing you.
Or, hell, if you want to talk blood, let's talk about all the iron in your blood, that metal benders can control.
So, metal benders can weld your skeleton together and blood bend just as well as a bloodbender, on top of being able to armor themselves in solid plates of steel and shoot solid metal knives and spears at you as fast as they can think.
Do we need to talk about what metal benders are going to be like when they figure out what uranium is?
>>84397943
Yes, yes they did.
>>84398031
Earthbenders can liquify land so the shapes they create is limited to their imagination.
>>84397970
>I can see a bender trying to throw a rock at zaheer while he is trying to choke him.
You don't seem to understand how the technique works. It isn't just stopping air from getting in, he's also taking any from inside the target's lungs. Unlike drowning where water is slowly flooding in or holding your breath where there's still some air inside but none getting in the vacuum technique causes instant oxygen deprivation.
Every second that goes by the victim is just killing themselves swifter by making movements their body can no longer find the energy to support or replace. A victim of it would be lucky to be able to stand let alone find the strength to competently bend.
Also intelligence has little to do with it, only discipline. Asphyxiation causes a natural panic state which robs you of clarity for decision making. The only way you could overcome it is if you've been choking yourself routinely to develop the calm towards the experience. Either way, throwing projectiles of any size and speed towards an airbender as swift and skilled as Zaheer was proven to be an effort in futility. This was while the people attacking him weren't affected by weakness and imminent death.
LoK was a lot of shit, but I actually commend it for illustrating if the Airbenders weren't peaceful monks the Firelords would have had his ships returned filled with blue faced corpses, comet power up or no.
>>84398172
>Smoke
Ice is not flammable where the fuck is that smoke coming from?
>>84397943
>>84398172
>>84398165
According to Avatar's own logic the metal benders couldn't manipulate metal itself, they manipulated the impurities in earth metal.
Which makes no goddamn sense, but thems the rules so trace metals in your body aren't going to be bendable.
>>84398211
Any earthbender could just sink the dude they are fighting into the ground then levitate a rock the size of a person from about 100 ft then drop it on them.
>>84398165
That's not how metal bending works. They bend the impurities in the metal. That's why they can't bend platinum.
>>84398267
>sink the dude
The dude who could fly?
>>84398269
The impurity thing went to shit when they showed someone metalbending Mercury.
>>84398165
If we're doing that then according to chemistry every human is, by nature, slowly igniting because of all the chemical reactions taking place inside them. All it takes is a little more energy and you'd burst into flames at any moment.
Everything is combustible to a fire bender.
More importantly, only bloodbending and airbending have been shown to override a person's control over their own bodies. So no, you can't bend the trace iron or calcium in a person's body. Especially not after that calcium has chemically bonded to the bones and become something different.
>>84398246
They threw large pieces of oil covered stuff at them that kept on burning or something.
>>84398283
Zaheer is the only one who can fly though.
>>84397651
Wind can cut an animal bigger than a man like it was cheese.
Hell, the new airbenders that did not took the path of the Nomads could be really fucking dangerous.
>>84398285
Mercury can react with a lot of things, anon. It can also be filled with iron fillings, though not for long
>>84398285
>Implying they didn't mix a shitton of dirt into it so they could bend it.
>>84398285
Only Toph was able to bend it effectively. Being the greatest earth bender in the world I think we can give her that one.
Earth - rock throwing niggers
Wind - pussies
Fire - edgelords
Water - even bigger edgelords
>>84398303
>Wind can cut an animal bigger than a man like it was cheese.
So can water or earth much much easier since they are more dense than air.
Its a puzzle how the firebenders beat the Water Tribe without the comet since they could just transmute the ice around them onto water that they can use to bisect people.
Earth is solid matter just sharpen it into a razor edge and you can now kill people with a levitating sword.
On the subject of waterbending, Waterbenders would fuck up people more if they just just sent high ice at them sure it would do less damage than earth because rocks are denser than ice but it would fuck you up though.
>>84397956
>>84397973
>>84397985
Same fagging, or Hivemind?
You decide
>>84398374
>Water - even bigger edgelords
What? That shit's Tai Chi. What sort of cotton-wool wrapped, hamster ball, milquetoast bitch do you have to be to think Tai Chi is edgy?
>>84398375
They were really only able to take the city after the moon got murdered and they lost their bending.
>>84398414
I'm saying people who like waterbending are giant edgelords, because they like it for the bloodbending. Nobody says "I wish I could waterbend but not bloodbend because thats evil"
>>84398436
Bloodbending is cool and all but some of us like water in general.
>>84398210
Can they? Given that earthbending's philosophy tends to favor a more "Tank their blows and then overwhelm them when you get the chance", especially given the Neutral Jing, it's unlikely that's a common trick. It's either very advanced, or a specialized technique (like Plantbending).
>>84398455
Yeah, but you would still take bloodbending, which is by far the edgiest form of bending there is
>>84398302
Zaheer AND Laghima, were the only ones who made the effort. Like Metal and Lightning bending it is a subset of Airbending that is untapped..
Again, for all its issues LoK illustrated if the Airbenders wanted to take over they could have done so long ago. They don't need comets, they don't need full moons, they don't even need land.
Their weapon is everywhere and inside everyone. One person like Zaheer could have flown to any location and instantly killed entire armies of any other bending clan, at any time without ever being touched. Short perhaps of the bloodbending genetic freaks the only option for most would be to submit.
>>84398302
True, unaided flight maybe. But every airbender worth a damn has been able to fly with their staffs.
>>84398479
No anon you need an insane amount of wind speed to actually destroy a solid wall of rock thats why hurricance barely do shit to countries with concretes homes. Airbenders would get wrecked if earthbenders had any clue how dangerous fast moving rocks are.
>>84397651
Air Bending: Pull the air out of someone's lungs. Collapsed lungs = you aren't bending shit.
Water Bending: Bloodbend someone's heart to stop beating. Dead.
Fire Bending: Lightning to the face. You can dodge a rock at 50mph. Lightning moves faster than the human eye can see. Dodging isn't an option.
Earth bending is like the LEAST lethal bending. You have to actually hit the person with what you're doing. The others just happen to them. Also, it's the only bending where you need to actually have something substantial in the area. You out on a wooden boat in the ocean? SOL. On a metal plane or something and don't know how to metal bend? SOL. Falling out of the sky after being flung from said plane? SOL.
>>84398477
Because it would be dumb, in this purely hypothetical situation, to deny yourself the extents of a fantasy ability.
It's not really edgy, it's just that nobody would ever feel the need to announce that they would never use bloodbending because obviously, it doesn't really exist.
>>84398375
>So can water or earth much much easier since they are more dense than air.
Good look fighting in the dessert, the mountains or any dry areas.
Water soldiers would be fucked if the fight doesn't take place right next to a river.
>>84398568
The fags that made ATLA know the Water and Earth would be broken if they could spawn the elements like Fire can.
>>84398568
Most water benders carry water with them. Especially in the desert. If you're out in the middle of the desert with no water, you're fucked already.

Zaheer's use of the vacuum technique already proves he has the mind not to waste time and energy with attacks of sheer force as you're suggesting.
In fact a point was made in LoK with Korra's training and failure to learn the Airbending style, initially anyway, that their style and philosophy is one of dancing around obstacles like a leaf in the wind and striking swiftly and simply.
Since a flying airbender does not need to walk or swim or any such thing that limits their angle of approach or create vibrations for a Metalbender to detect they and every other bender would never know where or when the assassination was coming until it was already happening.
It would be silent, sudden and impossible to counter. Unless you're an airbender yourself, and even then you have to be on the assailant's level, you cannot stop the air from leaving your lungs, you cannot force air to get back in. There is no solid, liquid or plasma projectile to evade or swat away. As I said their weapon is all around.
You just lay down, die and that's the end of it.
>>84398617
Water that can be wasted, spoiled or get ridden of.
In open war, the water tribe is kinda fucked by terrain everywhere except the poles. Main reason why Fire Benders won so much is because they can start fire out of air.
Also it's the main reason they sent everything they had against the Airbenders.
>>84398729
How do you "spoil" water?
Anyone can learn lightning bending since Iroh claims that lightning is produced by separating energies.
>>84398766

>Not ripping the water out of the permeable ground>Not ripping the water out of the 70% water corpse of that guy you just killed.
I mean, there's plenty of water to use everywhere
>>84398712
The deoxygenation requires you to put the air bubble around the person and keep close contact with them, any earthbender could impale you with an earth spike if you got close them. A waterbender with enough water can just cover the ground in water then flash freeze you.
Seriously air is weak as shit compared to Water or Earth.
A competent enough waterbender could just use the watertable as their water supply though and it also gives them an underground attack as well.
Simplyy swam the area with water, encase your opponent then boil the water while they are inside the water casing.
You know Waterbenders are also more deadlier than firebenders since they can boil water and use steam which is really fucking hot.
>>84398853
Good thing that assassins didn't do it in places where they could be seen or interrupted.
>>84398842
>Not ripping the water out of the nearby plants and trees
Burned down by fire and turned into ash
>Not ripping the water out of the air
Not everyone is on the level of Katara. Most soldiers barely know how to make water blades.
>Not ripping the water out of the permeable ground
Same ground going your way like a bullet to pierce your head. Since Earthbender can manipulate this element faster than a waterbender can suck water out of it.
>Not ripping the water out of the 70% water corpse of that guy you just killed.
Leaving you exposed for an airbender to asphyxiate you, cut your head off or any other technique that can kill you in an instant. Like firebenders and their lighting.
Water benders (nations and armies) are fucked unless they have a battle near a big source of water.
Lavabenders on the other hand.
>>84398801
I feel like a team of water benders could purify it pretty easily though. Like a group pulling the water out and boiling it and another group taking the steam and condensing it again to potable water.
>>84398897
You can literally trace where the guy that is attacking is by his own attack.
>>84398211
>he's also taking any from inside the target's lungs
yes, and?
>Every second that goes by the victim is just killing themselves swifter by making movements their body can no longer find the energy to support or replace
we can't assume how fast it kills, or if it takes ALL AIR from the body.
>Asphyxiation causes a natural panic state which robs you of clarity for decision making
which doesn't mean you won't punch someone to the face, which i think it's more likely to happen naturally.
Steam is more dangerous than fire since steam can give you second second burns and its invisible as well as carrying alot of energy. A steam current would pack more of a punch than a random air current so Steambending would trump Airbending in that regard.
Waterbenders can just boil their water attacks to make them extremely dangerous.
Waterbenders can also freeze people and instantly transmute water into its gas or solid phase meaning if you do melt the ice barrier they made they can simply TURN THE STEAM BACK INTO ICE, and unless you can destroy molecules this basically means they use their ice shields infinitely.
>>84398853
Good thing that assassins do this shit where nobody can see them.
>Airbender assassin moves faster than the enemies can react.
>Use wind to cut their heads of and then fly off.
This guys can move so fast and produce hits strong enough to send docents enemies away.
>>84397651
>Can only burn you
Nigga, have you ever been burned? You body spazzes out, the healing process is painful and it can potentially be infected.
That's not mentioning that fire can heat the air around you (which can still inflict burns).
Working in a cafe the minor burns from coffee machines feel like nothing, but when I was working at McDonalds getting pressed against a fry cage I had to grit my teeth to stop myself from screaming.
I'm still amazed that the monk who burnt himself to death sat there silently.
>>84398917
Okay, sure, if you are a lone water bender and you have an entire team of other benders against you, you're fucked. Congratulations, you found the one-weakness of water benders. Being completely outnumbered by a diverse team of skilled benders.
Autist.
>>84397651
Water is infinitely more lethal than blunt force or crush damage.
>>84398929

Let's how far they can do that shit while being attacked by a large group.
One on One. Water benders COULD be OP. Large groups are easy targets and fairly easy enemies to defeat.
>>84398971
>steam
>invisible
Just because you can see the other side, it doesn't mean that it is invisible.
>>84398979
Anon the most regular fire can do is destroy your skin its takes really intense fire to kill you in minutes.
Water and Earth can turn you into flesh jelly while Air can just batter you to death.
>>84398960
I feel like your overestimating someone's ability to think clearly while an invisible force is choking them to death. Those blue lines in the show are for viewers benefit, wind is invisible.
>>84398982
This applies to large groups. Water benders are far more dangerous alone than in groups.
Why are you so mad about this?
>>84399025
>Air can just batter you to death.
Air can cut you to pieces if used as such and said blades of wind can travel fairly large distances.
>>84399004
Magma>Water
Earthbending is again the most dangerous form of bending.
Magma can negate any fire bending attack because the only way to destroy it to cool it till it solidifies(but the earthebender could troll you and just melt it back into magma) or vaporize it which takes insane amounts of heat to do so.
>>84399025
>implying anyone can bend with all their body on fire.
The pain make you unnable to react.
Firebenders just need one hit.
>>84398917
>Had to come up with a hypothetical situation in which literally every other nation teamed up on water benders so they couldn't do anything.
Funny
Now, unless the firebenders literally set the whole area on fire for so long that there's nothing left worth fighting over, there's still going to be water in the smoke and steam.
Anywhere that's humid has a fuckton of water in the air, that's not Katara advanced, it's "Not many people think about it."
>Earthbender can move earth faster than a waterbender can move water because I said so.
Right.
>The asphyxiate thing again
It's a slow execution move, not a *teleports behind you and immediately takes the air out of your lungs/nothing personnel" move. Plus it involves getting close and now the waterbender doesn't have to aim when they swing the corpse water they just "exposed themselves" to get. So now you have a dead airbender and twice the corpse water to use.
>>84399029
If you're in a large group then you have people to cover you. Your post assumed that it was a lone waterbender and one of every other bender ganging up on them. Try again.
>>84399006
There ARE lulls in battle during a war. Plenty of time to take like 5 minutes to make clean water.

>regular fire
The fuck is "regular fire"? There aren't fucking sub-species of fire, you retard. Fire is fire. Sometimes it gets really hot, but it's fire. Do me a favor, I want you to go start a bonfire, jump into it, roll around for a minute and let me know how you feel afterward. Tell me how that "regular fire" made you feel and what kind of damage it did to you. Go ahead, I'll wait.
>>84399043
Water and Earth can also cut you into pieces infact Magmabending has most lethal cutting powers out of all the bending abilities.
>>84399006
That's like saying "HA you could just kill an earth bender while he's sleeping, what a pussy."
>>84399064
Water benders can bend mud. They don't even need pure water.
>>84399072
Regular Fire is anything that isnt red hot fire.
>>84399073
>Magma has better cutting powers than the universal solvent that is used to cleanly cut shit in industrial areas.
Somehow I don't believe you.
Clouds are made of water droplets so a waterbender powerful enough could actually control the weather, a waterbender can cause a heavy downpour of rain, Katara already displayed the ability to turn humidity into solid ice so this would make Waterbenders broken as shit.Heck they could nerf Firebenders by using clouds to block out the sun.
>>84399071
>and by the movement
Fucking what? You can't see wind, idiot. Look outside. Look up. There is a fuckton of wind a few thousand feet in the air. Like a huge amount. Do you see it? No, you don't. Because air isn't visible, even when it's moving fast. Tornados aren't visible, the shit they pick up (dust, clouds, etc.) is.

>>84398960
>yes, and?
Literally explained in the next sentence. When you're drowning you still have air in your lungs so you flail around until you run out energy or your lungs are filled.
If there is no air at all your body responds differently.
On "getting the wind knocked out of you"
>If you get a good, hard blow to the solar plexus, it can temporarily paralyze the diaphragm.
>The punch also empties all the air out of the lungs and sends the diaphragm into a spasm; it contracts, and stays that way.
>While the diaphragm remains paralyzed, your lungs can't inflate and you are unable to breathe.
>The nerves around that area are sending intense pain messages to your brain, but all you want to do is catch your breath.
>A momentary sense of panic ensues. Luckily, you usually recover in a minute or so
Except in this case there is no recovery here unless the Airbender takes pity.
>we can't assume how fast it kills, or if it takes ALL AIR from the body.
When a vacuum effect begins and is maintained that is exactly what starts to happen to gases. They don't just politely sit inside you for your convenience, they obey the flow of the current.
>which doesn't mean you won't punch someone to the face, which i think it's more likely to happen naturally.
As I just explained with getting the wind knocked out of you, that is precisely what it means. You collapse and try to get your breath back.
>>84399094
It was in response to the thread of comments about being fucked in the desert with water getting "soiled"
I figured the point they were making was that in war they're using their water source?
>>84398538
>Dodging isn't an option.
You can dodge any bending attack because bending is not like looking at someone and having them hit with an element, you have to do a dance or move a certain way to move things. That's why zuko could stop azula from frying katara.
>>84397651
>people picking up the best benders of the world and characters with special Snowflake powers
>treating them like average benders that represent the entire nation, just for a stupid power level discussion
Is this the oficial Autism thread on the catalog?
>>84399272
How many people dodged bloodbending? Even the woman who created it was bloodbended by Katara. So was Korra, who is supposed to be the most powerful bender on the planet, was bloodbended by Amon.
Likewise with the vacuum technique. Korra couldn't dodge that because he didn't shoot air at her, he created a bubble of vacuum around her head.
Zuko was able to redirect the lightning because A. he knew it was coming and B. he trained at extreme length to learn how. You have to be a firebender to do it at all, firstly. Second, you have to know how to do it. If not for Iroh, Zuko would've been up shit creek without a paddle. Also, it's damn-near impossible to do, because even with training, it's horribly difficult.
>>84398979
Additional notes:
Lava venders could seal off a room, fill it with lava and burn people to death via the air or suffocate them.
>>84399090
And that's a perfectly good strategy in war.
>>84399334
Literally any bender could kill a room full of people if the whole thing was sealed off. Water benders drown or freeze everyone, air benders suck all the air out, fire benders light it on fire, so on and so forth.
>>84399337
Yeah but it's a weird argument to make in a discussion of dangerous bending.
Here's a question. What country has the most jobbers? Because I think it's Earth Kingdom.
In terms of lethality with all things considered.
Air>Water>Fire>Earth
>ITT: *it was a hologram*
Never once have I seen a firebender bend actually fire all they do is create fire they dont manipulate real fires, why cant firebenders will fire into existence like if you see a tree well now its on fire and if a person is combustible well now they are on fire as well. Maybe it would make them too OP?
>>84399403
Oh definitely. They have by far the largest population and can't manage to crush the army of an island nation.
I blame upper management.
>>84399447
Isn't that basically how combustion man worked?
>>84399274
Pretty much.
In the first book it was shown that a single average joe bender is worth jack shit.
>>84399540
No he directs a beam of pure Infrared radiation(heat) at a spot then ignites the oxygen in that area causing an explosion.
>>84399358
Good point.
>>84398413
Just look at the times man.
>>84399447
>Never once have I seen a firebender bend actually fire all they do is create fire they dont manipulate real fires,
They manipulate fire a few time. It's just subtlety done with candles in the background and stuff like that.
Most earthbenders can't manage a "wave of solid rock" or make walls fast enough to block anything. Only the best of the best can do that shit.
an elite squad of metal benders, earth benders, and lava benders is truly terrifying
such a squad could have taken down the sentinels from days of future past
>>84397651
Nah, nigga, it's airbending.
>Literally just move air into your enemy's lungs until they explode
>Or maybe the opposite, have all air escape their respiratory system and don't let them suck in any more
>Firebender startin shit
>Use your power to create a vacuum sphere with no air around him so his fire can't burn and he asphyxiates
Which bending is visually the best art?
Love the shit out of collective water/earth bending. At the end of Naruto where armies of Ninjas where setting up huge walls was awesome to look at.
>>84399559
I think that's as close as you're going to get to pointing at a tree and it's suddenly on fire though.
>>84399638
Sentinels would speedblitz them.
>>84399648
>>Literally just move air into your enemy's lungs until they explode
You know now that I think about it that would have been a much more deadly and permanent way to kill someone. I mean forget air, if you don't have any lungs what are you even going to do? They can't CPR you back from that.
>>84397651
Airbending is thr most lethal.
Arguably bloodbending, but still up for debate.
Earthbending IS however the most useful.
>>84397970
>>84397919
Would you even need to create a vacuum? Like you could just rip the air in their lungs out through their torso, or you could really anything with the air in their body a la bloodbending.
>>84397651
They should just use earth bending as artillery.
>>84399692
sentinels would get crushed under mountains of earth and shredded with chunks of metal and thrown into lava pools
>>84399754
Magneto can melt metals though through Magnetism so seeing how the Sentinels still wrecked his shit even thats not enough to deal with those fuckers.
>>84399027
>wind is invisible
there is an airbender in front of you moving his arms
i think it's very obvious to hit him in the face. Who would NOT do that? seriously.
>>84399215
>On "getting the wind knocked out of you"
pretty sure that if someone punches you on the solar plexus, punching him back is also a very reasonable attitude on the next moments. Sincerely? it's not fast. Dying like that is Very slow. Do you really think the person will be paralyzed for That long? he will panic, but he will also try something else. That something might just be punching the airbender in front of you, which is very reasonable to instinctively try.
>When a vacuum effect begins and is maintained that is exactly what starts to happen to gases
i was kind of talking about ALL air, not just in your lunges. My point is that, if it's just the air in your lunges, it will take forever to kill you.
>>84399638
>lost all the time for non benders like Equalists and Ty Lee/Mai
>>84398302
>>84398479
Carl would be the best airbender of all time
>>84399215
Just to add: some people lost their arms and legs, and still were able to think rationally after a while.
>>84399736
I don't think they could get that much distance with anything heavy enough to take out say a fire nation tank.
Their version of archery would be pretty devastating though.
>>84399812
The benders in ATLA/LoK fight like retards, charging a firebender head on is suicide since it puts you in a direct path for having the skin on your face burned off. Waterbenders can slip you down, and earthbenders can just impale you at anytime with rock spikes on the ground.
>>84397919
>Similarly Zaheer demonstrated similar lethality with Airbending taking the oxygen out of an opponent's lungs making them immobile, except he didn't need a full moon to do it.
No airbender ever did anything remotely similar to do that before Zaheer pulled it out of his ass, so I'm going to say it's non-canon.
>>84399774
he was optimizing his powers due to the writing
a creative magneto would have tried bringing the walls of the building and nearby structures down on them instead of being getting rekt so fast
and since we're talking about elite earth benders they are going to be reigning boulders and raising columns of dense earth and throwing and whipping cables and discs of metal and throwing the broken parts into lava pools
Bending discussions were so much better before Korra fucked everything up with Bryke adding retarded horseshit for edgy preteens.
>LMAO WHAT IF YOU SUCKED ALL THE AIR OUT OF A DUDE'S BLOOD!??!!!
>>84399904
I havent read the comics but how didnt Jean Grey just obliterate the Sentinels?
>>84398413
Does this help?
Bending isn't the same as "control element." Unless you are a well-trained genius, you have to follow specific body movements to "feel" your way through the element and get it to react to you, leading to specific forms of that element being used.
Water whips are seen a lot because it is a fairly useful basic form, not because it is the best or most effective way to defeat someone with water bending.
We don't see super-dense earth missiles, bending the iron in someone's blood or making a levitating sword of earth for this reason. They would be really effective, but they are really hard for even a master bender to do. It's just the nature of the element.
>>84399802
Again I feel like you're overestimating someone's ability to respond immediately to having the air knocked out of you/ sucked away but I'm clearly not getting through to you so I'll concede.
>>84399802
If you have all the air in your lungs replaced by a vacuum your lungs will fucking collapse, Idiot.
>>84399925
>Magic healing water, metal bending, lightning bending, Comet/Meteor Super bending, Eclipse debending, Spirit bending
>"This is all fine"
>Air bending
>"WOAH WOAH BRO! Slow down!"
>>84398165
Bringing in chemistry? If airbending could allow control over oxygen, then Airbenders would not only be able to steal air from your body, but also immobilize any aerobic organisms. If he oxygens in your body were removed, you would no longer be able to produce energy to move or any internal bodily function and you would die.
Also, if you were to remove calcium from people's bodies, they would die.
Sodium, too. And obviously water.
>>84400088
C'mon. As i said, people lost their fucking arms and were able to think straight.
>>84400140
Yes, and?
>>84400884
>people lost their fucking arms and were able to think straight.
Appendages are non-vital organs, you can lose your jaw, arms, etc and adrenaline can power you through.
Damage to a vital organ, like your lungs or heart, results in immediate repercussions
>>84399802
>My point is that, if it's just the air in your lunges, it will take forever to kill you.
Not really.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_hypoxia
>Causes: ascent from a deep-water dive, flying at high altitudes in an unpressurized cabin without supplemental oxygen, and intense exercise at high altitudes prior to acclimatization.
And these are all just outside shifts in environment causing low oxygen while there's air in your lungs, when air is pulled out and no further gets in the response is more severe
>Brain cells are very sensitive to reduced oxygen levels. Once deprived of oxygen they will begin to die off within five minutes
Not 5 Namek minutes to be clear. It doesn't matter how much oxygen is in your blood too since victims suffer a range of effects including increased use of oxygen in the blood due to panic causing the heart to pump blood faster, decreased motor control, reducing their response time and precision, fainting, loss of consciousness and cessation of brain stem reflexes.
More importantly let's look at the Airbender's situation during all this. Zaheer when suffocating the Earth Queen and Korra was at a good distance away, there was no opportunity to punch him. The only thing that stopped him in the latter case was the Deus Ex Tornado especially because unlike the limited material medium based Seismic sense of metal benders the evasive skills of an airbender are Spider Sense tier due to relying on wind currents. Toph picked up on Aang's abnormal agility from so much as the vibration of his naturally light footsteps.
Simply put it is a waste of energy to fight back, the airbender will evade, counter and simply start up again until the target is winded. Pun intended.
>>84401012
I feel like he's going to say "Yes, and?" again.
>>84398797
That's why it was so common in Korra. Hey, somebody said some shit during the last season of Avatar to the effect of, since it would make him crazy broken, the tradeoff for being able to manipulate all the elements is that the Avatar, no matter how hard they try, cannot access the secondary bending abilities of any element. Is this true?
>>84399925
Yeah, how dare the creators try to add things to their creation?
>>84398929
You can attack enemies with frickin diarrhea. NICE.
>>84401168
Isn't being crazy broken basically the point of being the avatar?
No.
Water(If we count blood bending)>Fire>Air>Earth>Water
Water can stop you from fucking bending all together. It can also snap your neck at the flick of a finger.
Fire bended with speed can scorch your ass faster than you can react. That plus lightening.
>>84397651
>implying you couldn't just explode people like Dr. Manhattan with bloodbending.
Seriously though how would this plot turn out if it had an R rating?
>>84401255
However Blood Bending requires a lot of certain conditions unless of a certain bloodline while Air is an extremely convinient instant kill at any time of day making it the most dangerous of all. Other than that I agree with you.
>>84401333
Oh yea, I forgot about the whole moon thing and shit. You're completely right. SO basically
Air>Fire>Earth>Water unless it's like a full moon. Then water benders are OP.
>>84400682
>Sodium, too. And obviously water.
We won't even DISCUSS what metal bending can do with sodium.
http://pdb101.rcsb.org/motm/118
Suffice it to say, metal bender looks at you, you die. Instantly and utterly, your metabolism stopped dead in its tracks.
I also note how nobody has addressed metalbenders and uranium.
Suuuure, the other elements SEEM flashier and cooler, but earth wins, every time.
>>84401456
>I also note how nobody has addressed metalbenders and uranium.
Because as it has been said the metal benders in Avatar manipulate the impurities not the elements. There was all the nonsense about being unable to manipulate Platinum because it's "pure", which was completely illogical but again that is the rules the series played with.
>>84397801
>Fire just destroys
Jeong Jeong please leave

>>84399047
>Magma can negate any fire bending attack
Firebenders can cool it by redirecting the heat, ala Sozin.
>>84401012
>Damage to a vital organ, like your lungs or heart, results in immediate repercussions
do you honestly think that losing a fucking arm has no immediate repercussion?
>Once deprived of oxygen they will begin to die off within five minutes
that's kind of what i was referring when i said it 'takes forever'. I'm using the point of view of a fight here. 5 minutes to kill is way too much. Do you think the guy will just agonize for 5 minutes? or try to do something else after the first 15 seconds. Notice that i'm considering you pass out before your brain start dying, so i'll assume you have something close to 1-2 minutes to do something. That's a lot of time.
>was at a good distance away
you know that's bullshit Anyway, he only used it in two defenseless targets. There is just no reason to think a bender, or anyone more physically capable, won't just punch him (or stone him).
>the evasive skills of an airbender are Spider Sense
he can't evade AND suffocate you at the same time.
There has been the display of Benders incorporating their element into mundane weaponry. A warhammer, bolos, and a mace I think we've seen. A metalbender with a sword(or two) who could use it very well would be quite crazy. The edge would never get dull and be extremely keen. Earthbenders with obsidian arrows or just arrowheads. Curving shots around cover to take out a target they can feel cowering there. Combined with ways to sink targets into the floor or ground, someone with more fine control to it could really be a lethal attacker.
>>84401926
How about this:
It's an exceedingly lethal assassination technique but wouldn't work as well on an open battlefield.
>>84402666
Yeah, i think that's it.
I think zaheer only did it to show off his bending anyway. I mean, he could just punch her to the throat or poke her in weird places.
>>84398460
if you even watch avatar you can see that when they earth bend they dont always move a rigid part of the earth
>>84397651
How do firebenders bend exactly? They dont manipulate flames but produce them but where is this fire coming from?
I belive firebenders release an invisible stream of chi that they can then transmute into fire but if that is the case then a firebender could just extend the chi stream to over their opponent then transmute it into fire burning up their opponent.
Every basic airbender should be able to suck the air out of your lungs. Not much defense against this.
>It's a bending war thread.These still end up being entertaining somehow.
>>84403320
It's like watching kids play "Cowboys and Indians" and one of the kids yelling, "But I have a force field!"
>>84403416
Always some little shit trying to turn it into Cowboys and Aliens.
>>84403310
And any basic earthbenders could kill you with a high speed rock to your temple before that airbender can fucking react.
Pretty much all the bending styles could kill you within seconds if you're not paying attention.
>>84397651
>easily blockable
So you're going to block the fire with your arms.
I suspect you think your arms are going to be fine.
>>84403262
They are internally somewhat superheated and as a result can manifest physical flames. That's why a prison for firebenders basically keeps them on the edge of hypothermia. Drop the core temp, they can't do shit. A regular human would probably freeze to death in the same prison.
>>84403537
He saw Captain Planet do it one time.
>>84398164
That doesn't mean it cant stop it
Bones are more dense than skin but every punch doesn't draw blood
>>84403563
Well I suppose if the power is his.
>>84403537
No anon any rock wall can laugh off a firebending attack. Since fire has barely any mass an airbending strike can nullify it and water is well fucking water.
>>84403582
Oh right.
Of course. How could I be so silly.
>>84397706
Bloodbending is useless unless you are Yakone, one of his children, or it's the full moon.
Yes, it's by far the deadliest, but it's also the least practical.
>>84398002
Literally nerfed rock to balance shit
>>84397943
Oh yay, as a waterbender I can use my bending to make a solid home in either of the two coldest places on the planet. From a material which is significantly less stable for building purposes than stone or metal, and which will fall apart if I put too much on the roof.
>>84402280
Common sense dictates earthbenders would be pushing everyone's shit.
But forced "balance" is needed for a story
>>84398000
The non-full-moon Bloodbending was depicted as being genetic, not a learned skill.
>>84403523
>And any basic earthbenders could kill you with a high speed rock to your temple before that airbender can fucking react.
The only time a single rock has ever killed anyone was with Jet.
>>84398335
There were some red lotus benders in season iii who poisoned Korra with a liquid metal. Suyin later got most of it out, and Korra got the rest.
>poison
>liquid
>metal
95% that was supposed to be mercury.
>>84403523
>high speed rock
>rock
>high speed
>>84403736
>Which will fall apart
God this earthfag delusion. Ice is one of the most solid things you can build out of that's limited by it's melting point, not it's stability.
http://twistedsifter.com/2013/02/icehotel-sweden-worlds-largest-ice-snow-hotel/
And waterbenders could build it better by making the icebricks one solid mass instead of bricks.
>>84403798
And it took a huge ass rock from the ground, not this bullet pebble earthfags seem to be positive anyone can casually do, even though the only examples we can give is Aang and Korra going full avatar mode during their respective S3 finales.
>>84403582
Fire has never been a mass thing, it's always seems that it had a concussive element to it. People got hit by it and knocked back, exploded, it brock through stones midflight and in one shattered a huge-ass temple floor. None of that was comet firebending either.
>>84403920
>Fire has never been a mass thing, it's always seems that it had a concussive element to it. People got hit by it and knocked back, exploded, it brock through stones midflight and in one shattered a huge-ass temple floor. None of that was comet firebending either.
The writers forget that Fire is intangible and barely has any mass so it cant do those kinds of things even a flamethrower wont push your body back at all unless the fire stream is moving really fucking fast.
>>84399888
There's only like 6 airbenders of note across both series, and 4 of them were children, and only one of them was cruel enough to try such a tactic.
>>84403919
Most earthbending projectiles in the show cross about 10 feet in a second so they are fast enough to kill you before you can dodge them.
>>84403967
So clearly avatar fire is weighted down by chi or something, who knows. All we know is that firebenders can somehow through some kinetic energy behind their attacks.
>>84402280
Style is important for weapons when bending though. Typically earthbenders need to use blunt instruments to kick up their rocks, and they can't exactly bend the blade back sharp, they'd have to sharpen it like everyone else, that's fine control of metal that earthbenders don't typically have.
Swords and the like with arcing swings and suck were firebender and waterbender things, the second one coming from commentary. The commentary said that a waterbender would be able to use the sword to guide their water into razor sharp strikes, and with all the cutting we see waterbenders do, it's not surprising at all. As for firebenders, just watch Zuko fight with his swords and imagine some fire and you'll get it right.
Airbenders are definitely fan types, whether big as Temari fans, or little folding hand fans.
Airbenders could also use the sword to air slice or something, but I'm still pretty sure that bending styles create certain mindsets in everyone that prevents the edgetastic super killing that everyone in this thread is positive every bender can do at a moments notice.
I mean, the firebenders did during ATLA, but they were specifically noted for using dark side firebending powered by rage, anger, and hate and all that.
>>84397651
It would probably be the most useful, but the least leathal.
>>84404170
Airbenders used staves, which can be pretty twirly like fans. Aang also mentioned being able to create air swords out of an air hilt.
>>84404010
>Most earthbending projectiles in the show cross about 10 feet in a second so they are fast enough to kill you before you can dodge them.
But people dodge them all the time.
>>84404310
The only people I can remember seeing dodge earth shots were Aang and Zuko, both of whom are extremely agile, Equalists, who are extremely agile, and probenders, who train their entire lives to dodge the things.
>>84404310
Your right about the staves. In fact, I distinctly remember Aang opening the smaller fan at the end of his original stave and using it mid move the blow air at people.
Actually, Aang used his staff for everything but firebending at some point.
>>84403967
Thinking about >>84404011 there was a pattern to this. If it was a stream of fire going back to the firebender flamethrower style then yeah, there was no kinetic force, and it was a flamethrower.
But if it was a fireball, then it could knock you on your ass. I guess it's because throwing a fireball is throwing a stream of exploding hot air at someone, more akin to a plasma bolt than just "fire." If that's the case no wonder shit had force, you hit them with an explosive chemical reaction, like Combustion man except smaller in scale.
>>84397651
>Air is just wind it takes speeds of about 130 mph to really knock you on your ass
not even remotely true, try half that
>>84398269
calcium is an alkali earth metal. i'm sure bones have impurities
>>84399888
But the airbenders before zaheer were pacifist,so of course they wouldn't do something that graphic. This doesn't mean they were incapable of doing it, just that they weren't willing to do it.
>>84399392
Are you implying that isn't dangerous?
>>84398031
Azula let herself be captured though.
>>84405394
So it was all part of her plan?
This thread is like we i was a kid participating in pretend combats and that one faggot kept inventing shields against everything
>>84405758
*teleports behind you
>>84405758
Speaking of shields waterbenders have endless shields since there is no way to actually destroy their shields since they can just turn it back into water even if you vaporize it.
You know what made me really mad there is no tropical group of waterbenders.
>>84405734
Yes she clearly expresses this.

firebenders are probably the most useful skill overall
>can use to cook food
>can use to warm house
> can use to purify water / make tea / coffee
>can power zepplin
plus, besides bullshit 1 v 1 fights, easily fire bending is the most destructive, a master fire bender can destroy whole cities, boats, ect
>>84406322
Earth is the most destructive by far, especially compared to fire. A master Earthbender could probably level a city way quicker than any firebender.
>>84397651
Firebending can:
Warm baths.
Make tea.
Keep you (and a love interest) warm on cold nights.
Cook food.
Heat up massages.
Temper metal.
Earthbending can:
Build homes.
Move heavy loads.
Transport many people.
Pave roads.
Build bridges.
Waterbending can:
Relieve tension (ease chi flow).
Soothe burns, injury, fever.
Plumbing.
Irrigation.
Instantly dry laundry.
Make soup/drinks fun.
Waterslides.
Make bathing fun.
>>84398477
I'm sure bloodbending would have some sort of medical use that most of the edgelords using it in Avatar never tried. I'd take it for that alone. I'd rather be a healer or a builder than a soldier. If I had the choice I'd be torn between earth and water just for their utility purposes.
>>84406469
Also, you could use bloodbending to give yourself the biggest boner of all time on the full moon.
>>84406322
>a master fire bender can destroy whole cities
Yh no you need a really high amount of kinetic force to destroy a city and firebending cant output that much thats why Ozai wanted to BURN the land because he knew fire cant do jackshit to the cities in the earth kingdom.
>>84406576
Burning something down is destroying it you fucking sperg.
>>84406469
Airbending can do this though.
>>84406778
>you can burn up rocks
All he so is just put some black spots on the stone buildings but it wouldnt do jackshit to the structure of the building. Firebending is weak as piss. The only thing Ozai even burned down was probably forest in the earth kingdom since rocks are not flammable jackass.
>>84407709
>Forgetting that firebending is clearly a concussive force in Avatar.
>>84407849
>Concussive force
>Shitzai had to melt Aang's basic rock barrier but its concussive right so why couldnt he just blow through it? Oh rights because its fucking fire thats why.
>>84407849
Yeah it has a degree of concussive force but not one to suggest it can easily fell buildings upon buildings unless probably under Sozin's comet. Earth Bending however already has the capable strength to easily level cities.
>>84398269
>Impurities in metal
>Can't bend platinum
I never got this. Wouldn't any refined metal be pure enough to be bent? No one metal is more "earth" than another. They're all raw elements. Platinum's just rarer.
>>84407887
>The rocks melted
>Didn't see the rocks getting blasted off with every blow
>Ozai didn't make the whole thing fucking explode
>The force of the blast didn't blow Aang into the magical back-surgery rock
>>84407902
Oh I know that it can't do it easier, the guy I'm responding to is just really upset about firebenders or something. They must've killed his parents or something.
>>84405958
Of course
>>84397706
Also you can slice a dude in half with an air blade in seconds.
>>84398144
I could see air being used a lot with organized crime for a quiet killing, same with bloodbending. Also waterbending could be used to potentially poison water supplies, and a well placed fire in a factory could be extremely useful as an act of terror.
>>84398410
You could make people explode ice from the water in their bodies.
Bending is fucking terrifying.
>>84398979
I'm kinda sad no air monks with firebender blood ended up showing up and burning themselves as a symbolic fuck you to racism.
>>84408682
I'd say that would be a bit graphic but they had a woman's head microwaved and moved on so who knows.
>>84398979
>I'm still amazed that the monk who burnt himself to death sat there silently.
The pain of life outweighed the pain of death.
>>84408595
yep, Air and Water are very useful in a modern setting. Firebender is better with electricity.
Earth bending will lose his purpose when technology hits hard
>>84397651
Water can shut down or kill every other bender in a hundred with no chance of avoiding or negating it (without line of sight) with an eye twitch, strip bending, and is the only element that can manipulate the immortal, magical super beings that are everywhere now. Fire has combustion, which no one in the series, including two Avatars, has even attempted to fight directly. They're both far deadlier than Earth, and Air is consistently portrayed as the most powerful element outside special techniques.
Earth-bending is probably the worst, the only way it would seem the "best" to someone is if they only thought of things in sheer force and with absolutely no creativity.
>>84403416
I just like imagining the horrific deaths.
>>84401168
Well that's a nice idea, I think. Aang never demonstrated healing (though it was rare), bloodbending (completely against his M.O.), metalbending (not hard enough for it) but he did redirect lightning. Korra learned metalbending for all the good it did her.
I thought that a clever thing would be for Mako to be able to purify spirits. If you do go with the whole "dark spirit" corruption thing, then separating positive from negative should cure spirits being overloaded.
Instead it's water because shut up.
>>84408762
Earthbending is a godsend because its instant architecture and metalbending would allow us to build mechanical technology of any size without the need for industrial tech. You could be the desert and simply have a group of earthbenders forge a city into existence. What if you are on Mars? Well guess what bro the earthbenders can make towns made of martian rock, remove all of the dust of the rock as well.
Seriously earthbending is the best.
>>84406469
Airbending can whip cream.
>>84398949
If water-benders can control the temp of the water, they could probably hold together a pseudo ballistic gel type deal against themselves.
>>84408758
that's a great sacrifice
and according their beliefs, they (the people of Vietnam) are sharing the Karma of making a saint man to kill himself.
you have to do a shitload of good things to clean that karma.
>>84397651
reminder that you can see rocks but you can't see air
reminder that Aang beat toph with a similarly sized wind bullet
reminder that you need to be close to rocks to be deadly as an earthbender, but that's not the case as an airbender
>>84408837
>without the need for industrial tech
Earthbenders can't refine metal. They bend the impurities in the metal. They're good industry wise, but not perfect.
That said, if you like living in stone houses like it's the middle east, then yeah, earthbending is good for temporary shelters.
>>84408804
Air isnt even close to the most powerful bending element because its weak as piss to Water and Earth. See those air blast Aang shoots at people they only blew people back, if they were water they would have breaked their bones, and if they were rock they would have made their organs burst and kill them. On Earth we really cant see how dangerous rocks are, but on the alien planet Corot-something it rains rocks and you imagine how painful that must feel to anything that could thereoritically live on that planet. Also on another planet it rains volcanic glass isnt space amazing?
>>84408909
>They bend the impurities in the metal.
This horseshit was acceptable until Zaofu appeared, that was legit metalkinesis those metalbenders were doing.
>>84408919
Aang's airblasts only blew people back because he was pacifistic as all hell. He fucking sliced a man sized bug a mile away in half when he was upset at it trying to take and eat Momo.
>>84408947
They can be artistic as fuck, but they're still bending impurities. It's not like the series showed them ripping the metal out of the rock to use.
>>84408984
> He fucking sliced a man sized bug a mile away in half when he was upset at it trying to take and eat Momo.
While Air is pretty good at cutting it sucks at pure impact because its a fucking gas.
>but they're still bending impurities
What a load of shit theres no iimpurities can allow that level of remolding metallic substances.
>>84397651
Fire is the most difficult to block. It's the most destructive form of bending (see lightning).
Air is the fastest and absolutely lethal when mastered. Being able to get behind attacks and defenses before the opponent knowing.
Earth is the most defensive, being able to defend against everything (just hide underground).
Water is the most technical and supportive. It has attributes of other forms of bending, Water being similar to air, ice being similar to earth, and being able to counter fire. It's well rounded, but not the best at a single field (offensive, defensive).

Eh, small rocks should be pretty easily wind/water walled away.
Firewall... could kill visibility I guess.

>Aang beat toph with a similarly sized wind bullet
Aang beat a blind chick with something she couldn't see.
SO ANYTHING BUT A ROCK SHE WAS TOUCHING?

>that was legit metalkinesis those metalbenders were doing
Okay man lemme tell you like this.
Put a magnet in a paper cup. Move another magnet towards it. Notice how it can move the paper cup? Earthbending is magnetism in this example and paper is metal. The earth itself is moved, the metal, being a solid wrapper, moves with it. Now, sculpting and changing metal's shape with metalbending? Not as good, but whenever Toph did it it was very crumpled as if the points of earth were randomly tugged and widely spread.

Why should the earthbender(who is a part of the slowest bending school, with the slowest thing to bend) be randomly faster than the airbender?

>It sucks at pure impact because it's a gas.
>The guy I'm replying to literally just pointed out that Aang blew fuckers around like it was hurricane season all series.
You're definitely wrong about air lacking impact.
>I-It's not impurities.
It's what it is. You can complain all you want, but that's what they bend, and that's all they're ever going to be able too bend. Otherwise they would have been able to bend things not covered in platinum because it's just another metal.

>Air isnt even close to the most powerful bending element because its weak as piss to Water and Earth

10 fps is incredibly slow, what the fuck are you talking about?
You'd have to not be looking at it to get hit.
