@thenewbluebeetle007: @johnfrank120

Lin Beifong.

@therapist1: any reasons?

Lin, home advantage is too much for Zuko to overcome.

She has a wealth of metal at her disposal since the fight takes place in Zaofu, and Zuko can't bend lightning. Against a metal/earthbender, I'd say that was your best shot. He can also be dumb in combat from what I remember (not trying to hate, I actually believe they purposefully write him to be this way), while I think Lin was one of the most resourceful members of Team Korra.

Hm..... Lin wins, too much metal and she has agility on par with him, she also uses her environment.

@therapist1: @gizmorino: @johnfrank120: would another environment be more fair?

@arcus: republic city streets

@arcus: with cars and other metals around.

@therapist1: @gizmorino: @johnfrank120: environment's been changed

@arcus: So... Where in Republic City? Does she get the aid of metals around her?

If not, she dies.

L. D.

@llehdevil: average street, say like the one where Korra fought the Triad in the first episide

Probably Zuko. The environment won't help Lin much. Her earthbending is for the most part, average.

L. D.

@llehdevil: she's got her cables too

@arcus: He has huge, deadly, fiery whips.

L. D.

@llehdevil: can he be Spider-Man with these whips?

@arcus: He has much better range and destructive power with his whips. Lin will only be delaying her defeat if she try's to swing away.

@arcus: i think lin takes a hard win.

She knows the city well enough.

Surely there would be vehicles on the street to use on him, her cables would be useful has she can pull some spider-woman sh!t with it like her cops do, her cables are as fast if not faster than kuvira's sheets.

Funny these 2 have facial scars from their elements.

Lin

@uchiha454: any reasons? @gizmorino: they do, don't they?

The environment caters to her needs in addition to having her suit I don't see Zuko damaging her while she does possess sufficient strength and skill to hurt Zuko

@arcus: yeah, the fire scar zuko got for "daddy" and the metal whip scar lin got from "sister" is just a trademark scar for both characters.

@gizmorino: yeah. Wasn't thinking about that when I made this

@arcus: well am good at finding connections in characters, even if they weren't intended.

Lin wrecks IMO.

@hatemalingsia: @deathhero61: any reasons?

@arcus: I feel that metalbending is a hard counter towards firebending. And with the level of metal bending Lin uses, i think it would be easy to take out zuko since he isn't familiar with metal bending on the level that lin does it.

@deathhero61: what if he had some basic familiarity with metalbending?

Well she has seismic sense and just like toph she can sense his movements . And she's agile for a 54 year old

Sensing movements never seemed to provide any advantage for Lin (the whole seismic sense advantage thing is a debate for another time)

I think Lin will take this after a good fight. I can see zuko getting caught by her cables

@arcus: well Ino she still takes this

@xxxcarzellxxx: fair enough

Lin, but it is much closer

I do believe it's time for some gifs

More may be on the way when I'm not feeling lazy

Bump

Lin IMO. Zuko always struck me as a meh Firebender. Guy cannot do lighting, fly around with fire like his dad or sister shown many times, and he is better at sword fighting then fire ending at times.

@8bitgangsta: Zuko was evenly matched with Azula after training with the dragons. Iroh never showed jet propulsion, doesn't mean he's a bad firebender

Probably Lin, though she was defeated by non-benders in season 1.

@schleck33: many were defeated by non benders thats way out of context and weirdly phrased.

And yes Lin wins

@schleck33: only the Lieutenant beat her, and he's well equipped to counter metalbending cables @darkdefender: you like my gif? :)

@arcus: She is much more agile and still knows the place pretty well, with lots of earth and metal to bend.

@darkdefender: I'll post more later
