@anthp2000: I don't know why you keep bringing up her katana, the OP, you and I have all established she has no weapons. She doesn't need any, she is superior to Mai in h2h on account of hanging with Ty Lee, unless you think Ty Lee is below Mai in that regard. Disarming is only relevant when you have a weapon, and honestly I would not consider being disarmed by Azula such a bad feat, especially considering Azula is a beast without bending as well.
As with Kyoshi armor Mai's ranged weapons are largely ineffective, and Suki is better at h2h, I don't see how Mai is above her.
Being better in h2h is not helping when you cannot hurt yuor opponent basically. She needs to have some seriously good strength to KO while Mai can still one shot. I never said it will somehow be easy to tag Suki, esspecially with gear. It's when Suki gets it up close that Mai can lucky stab her. And she will also have trouble with large volume attacks. Mai has endured a kick from Azula (who was kicking boulders away mid air, who can jump 20 ft. up in the air for fun).
I am fairly sure Mai would be more effective being able to disarm multiply people simultaneously without even scratching them. Azula is good without bending too, yes, but not better than Mai. Also, keep in mind that Suki doesn't have any sowrdsmaship feats other than being disarmed anyway.
Eventually, Mai has way more chances to win via stab, than Suki has via beat up. And it's not like Mai is a complete slouch up close either. She can always keep her distance. She can shoot arrows while running etc. I mean yes, Suki completely outclasses her in h2h and is probably more overall skilled, but there's not much to say that EoS Suki can somehow KO Mai before she gets stabbed unless she stands there like a rock waiting to get beat up.
