@crevanille: If Korra were truly lightning speed then she'd statue Bradley hundreds of times over so it would be a mismatch either way as he's hypersonic at best.Irrelevant though considering any legit lightning timing in the series would be a huge outlier to how they're normally portrayed. I mean, up until that point one of the most impressive feats in the series was Zuko arrow timing, which isn't even supersonic much less Mach 290. If you really want this match to not be one-sided then equalize because it isn't close either way unless you do.
You know what? That's a good point. Can't even argue that. That is true. The problem however is that Korra has those split-sec reaction times that has shown her utilizing movement that surpasses bullet timing. Not just her either. Aang has done the same thing. As far as Zuko is concerned, let's not forget he's at least supersonic. This means the arrows aren't really going to be an issue to begin with unless there was surprise involved like when Aang was chased by the yuyen archers.
LOL, since when was anyone in the entire Avatarverse even supersonic, nevermind surpassing bullet-timing? I've seen the whole of A: TLA and the Korra series and I don't recall much that puts their speed even close to that. I'll admit I was wrong if you can prove otherwise, but I don't see it for now (plz no 'they're all lightning timerz').
If Amon's acrobatics could cause Korra difficulty then Bradley is going to tear through her in all round except for the last round (and maybe with all elements), where she can generate a powerful shield and then simply AOE her way to a win, especially if he has knowledge of her abilities.
If you were to equalize speed, then:
R1: Bradley stomps, 10/10. No way is Korra beating him h2h.
R2: Korra has a chance if she spams AOE blasts, anything else won't cut it, especially with Bradley's ultimate eye in effect. She can't even use anything with too much potency as killing isn't allowed, so she won't be using any lightning. I still see Bradley winning 8/10, her fire attacks have always struck me as slightly clumsy compared to someone like Bradley.
R3: Korra probably takes it thanks to water's versatility, 8/10 in her favour.
R4: Bradley should take it. Scar tried similar attacks and they did him barely any good, and that was against an injured Bradley. Bradley has shown the ability to casually slice through boulders with his swords and destroy wall segments with his knives. Bradley 8/10.
Rounds seemed muddled up at this point, so I will say:
- if Bradley knows she has metalbending, he won't make the mistake of charging in with his swords drawn. He'll likely just run in and beat her down. If he tosses his swords over the edge, there's nothing else here she can bend in the ring (as far as I can see), so it becomes like R1- in which case, Bradley stomps.
- Airbending would give Korra the win as she only needs to ring him out and it has always been portrayed as the most effective element against agile characters.
- All elements Korra wins, too much going for her with wind and water to keep Bradley back, especially if no killing is allowed.
- AS Korra stomps regardless.
All in all (with speed equalized), I think they take four rounds each.
