Zuko vs Sasuke (pre-timeskip)

[Manwe Sulimo]

Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender is pitted against Sasuke, before he trained under Orochimaru. The chunin exams arena is the battlefield. Who wins?

Hello Bender Ninja/Alchemist aka Commander Shepherd.

How are you doing these days?


Is the the Sasuke that just trained with Kakashi?

Does it really matter what Sasuke it is?

Sasuke should be faster then Zuko if you ask me. Plus Sasuke can react to almost any attacks Zuko has.

It is obvious that Sasuke even during the Wave Arc was quite much faster than Zuko.

All Zuko has if his reflexes are enough to keep up.

His firebending will burn Sasuke so obviously the Uchiha will not want to get hit.

Unfortunately Sasuke back then also used shuriken with wires and etc etc.

All Zuko has if his reflexes are enough to keep up. How so? I don't remember him being that good.

His firebending will burn Sasuke so obviously the Uchiha will not want to get hit. Can't Sasuke counter with his fire attacks?

Unfortunately Sasuke back then also used shuriken with wires and etc etc.

I only remember Sasuke using shuiken with wires in four fights I think.

He awakened them against Haku I believe.

He reacted to Comet Azula's firebendingjet but thats the best thing I can think of.

yes thats true. Comet firebending will obviously overpower it though but I don't think comet is on.

Still Sasuke will use it, he is not an one trick pony.

He awakened them against Haku I believe. I believe that was the Wave Arc. I can't remember little things like that. xD If Sasuke does have the Sharingan he can react to most of Zuko's attacks with no problem.

He reacted to Comet Azula's firebendingjet but thats the best thing I can think of. I think if he can react to it Sasuke can react to it.

yes thats true. Comet firebending will obviously overpower it though but I don't think comet is on. True enough.

Still Sasuke will use it, he is not an one trick pony. Yeah I'm sure Sasuke will use it. And I don't think Zuko can melt the wire with his fire.

Can't complain. Thanks. How have things been here?

No, this is Sasuke right before he fought Naruto at the end of part 1. If you're going to bring Cursed Seal or fully mature Sharingan into this, then Zuko gets comet power.

As for Zuko's reaction feats, he has reacted to firebender lightning. While firebender lightning may or may not be as fast as the real deal, it's still pretty fast. His feat redirecting Ozai's lightning was at point blank, and he ran to intercept Azula's lightning at Katara.

Also, there's this
