Korra vs Roy Mustang

[The Immortal Watch Dog]

BG defaults apply

fight takes place in a depopulate Lake Havasu city Arizona..

hows this go?

[Cult of Personality]

Roy snaps his fingers. GG.

[BMC1994]

^lol that would be one option.

Besides the fact that korra bends any fire right back at him and clobbers him with air,water and the very earth he is standing on to begin with.

Korra only has to get roy wet doesnt seem like a challenge for a native waterbender whio happens to be the avatar

[Ohako]

Roy I believe got this. Yes Korra can bend fire, but Roy can instantly light her whole body on fire instantly just by snapping his fingers. Though he has showed such feats to protect his teammates and for revenge, but still I can see Roy winning this fight.

[Bradley]

Korra can deflect Roy's attacks with firebending, get Roy wet with waterbending so he can't make ignition sparks, and generally just pummel Mustang with earthbending. Korra's airbending skills are pretty basic but it could throw off Mustang's ability if she started using it. Mustang could pull a win if Korra tried attacking with firebending -- the firebending would actually be as good as a spark for his attacks, blowing it up in her face. Roy could pull a win, but Korra has the general advantage. Korra wins 7/10 times.

And if Korra uses the Avatar State, she just plain stomps Roy.

[Cult of Personality]

Roy can beat a guy that can see the future and solo tanks with a sword.

More importantly, his explosions are fast enough so as to be near instantaneous. Prove to me that Korra is capable of reacting to them in time to use firebending.

Water gets turned into hydrogen and oxygen. Master alchemist, yo.

Any rocks Korra throws at him get exploded and/or dodged.

Even in Avatar State she doesn't have a guaranteed chance of winning.

Korra loses 9/10. To suggest otherwise is the height of retardedry.

Do you hate Korra IWD? Especially that she doesn't start in Avatar state.

Well, that depends. Is this 2003 anime Roy, or manga/Brotherhood Roy? If the first, yes Roy can stand up to Bradley, but that Bradley never demonstrated precog or tank-soloing. If the latter, then Bradley demonstrated those things, but Mustang never faced him.

2003 anime Roy also comes with the explicit weakness to air currents, which Korra can exploit.

More importantly, his explosions are fast enough so as to be near instantaneous. Prove to me that Korra is capable of reacting to them in time to use firebending.

Actually, you just made a claim. Prove that Mustang can create explosions too fast for Korra to react to (not that the explosions themselves are instananeous, but that the process of the spark going from his fingers to the explosion site).

Water gets turned into hydrogen and oxygen. Master alchemist, yo.

He's not able to do that to a large body of water in the thick of combat. Lust would never have soaked him if that was the case. And even if he does Korra can just keep trying to dunk him.

Any rocks Korra throws at him get exploded and/or dodged.

Based on?

Even in Avatar State she doesn't have a guaranteed chance of winning.

If Korra surrounds herself in the Avatar State air sphere there's really nothing Roy can do to her.

Korra loses 9/10. To suggest otherwise is the height of retardedry.

Aren't you a lovely person.

A large body of water in Arizona??? I don't think that's possible.

Lake Havasu City isn't called Lake Havasu City for no reason.

Tank soloing no, precog yes. In the end it doesn't really matter. Fact is Roy is a match for him and he can tittystomp most of Avatar.

2003 anime Roy also comes with the explicit weakness to air currents, which Korra can exploit.

But which Korra doesn't know she can exploit and isn't likely to in any case.

Actually, you just made a claim.

Yeah, no. Observe:

Circa 2:30, an hour ago.

You say Korra can bend Roy's fire, you prove it. Until that happens, Roy snaps his fingers and this battle ends before it begins.

He's not able to do that to a large body of water in the thick of combat.

Large schmarge. Korra's not going to bring the entire lake down on him.

And even if he does Korra can just keep trying to dunk him.

And he'll keep splitting it.

Based on?

The fact that he's not stupid enough to let himself get hit.

If Korra surrounds herself in the Avatar State air sphere there's really nothing Roy can do to her.

If Korra dies before she ever gets to that point then Roy doesn't have to worry about an air sphere.

Aren't you a lovely person.

You should see me when I'm not being nice.

What episode is it said in the '03 anime that Bradley has precog? I can look it up on Netflix. There's no evidence that manga/Brotherhood Roy is a match for Bradley. In fact, judging by Roy's performance against the Wrath rejects, Bradley would have quite an advantage over him. And it really doesn't count as a full confrontation, but Mustang goes down pretty quick once Pride and Wrath show up and send him into the Gate.

Mustang would be a challenge for most people in Avatar, but he's not a league above them.

But which Korra doesn't know she can exploit and isn't likely to in any case.

Sure, it's just a factor in her favor.

You say Korra can bend Roy's fire, you prove it.

There, bending fire created by others.

Large schmarge. Korra's not going to bring the entire lake down on him.

I didn't say she would (or needed to).

And he'll keep splitting it.

What's the largest amount of water Roy has split before at once?

The fact that he's not stupid enough to let himself get hit.

Intelligence has little to do with the ability to avoid projectiles.

If Korra dies before she ever gets to that point then Roy doesn't have to worry about an air sphere.

Quite right. Good thing she can buy time with a quick earth wall.

You should see me when I'm not being nice.

You can be nice?

Whichever episode he revealed his Ultimate Eye I imagine. Been years since I seen it. Splitting hairs in any event.

A: Yes, yes he is.
B: I was actually talking about Bradley.

A non-factor.

Booga booga boo.

There, bending fire created by others.

Cute. When you wanna get serious we'll continue.

Until then, Roy snaps his fingers, Korra dies.

Wait, you can't even remember where it was stated yet you're making the claim? It's not "splitting hairs", it's demanding for evidence until you provide it. You haven't backed up your claim.

A: Yes, yes he is.
B: I was actually talking about Bradley.

A. No, he isn't.
B. Ok? And since Roy is not comparable to manga/Brotherhood Bradley it matters not one bit.

A non-factor.

I wouldn't say a weakness that almost allowed anime Bradley to kill Mustang is a non-factor. But this one really is just splitting hairs. If Korra uses airbending it could cause a problem for Roy, but since airbending is Korra's weakest bending art she's unlikely to resort to it.

Cute. When you wanna get serious we'll continue.

Until then, Roy snaps his fingers, Korra dies.

I proved Korra can bend fire from someone else. Ball's back in your court to prove that Roy's fire is too fast for Korra to bend.

No it's definitely splitting hairs. Focusing too much on a hyperbolic claim I made in an attempt to avoid having to address the real issue.

A. No, he isn't.

Yes, he is.

B. Ok? And since Roy is not comparable to manga/Brotherhood Bradley it matters not one bit.

Bradley >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 99% of Avatar. Roy is somewhere in his league. Ergo, Roy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> some odd percentage of Avatar.

Nor would I if its use were guaranteed.

If Korra uses airbending it could cause a problem for Roy,

Key word: If.

I proved Korra can bend fire from someone else. Ball's back in your court to prove that Roy's fire is too fast for Korra to bend.

The fact that Korra is capable of being fire other than that which she generated is a given. But as you and I both know, that's not the sticking issue here. You say Korra deflects Roy's fire, you have to prove she's fast enough.

Failure to do so will lead to me reporting you as the troll you so clearly are.

[ILIKEPIE]

this is not a pretty debate, cult vs bradley someting bad is going to happen.

Spoiler:

I would gives this to Roy since his fire is shown to be faster than fire bending

[321zigzag3]

It's not that Roy's fire is dangerous. It is the explosion that he can create it is more aligned with "boom" alchemy.

Its the near instantaneous explosion that Roy can do at literally snap of a finger around Korra which can kill her or at least decimate her.

Doesn't he have a glove that allows him to manipulate air and earth as well?

Hyperbolic claim? What? You made the claim that Bradley has precog. There's no hyperbole to it, either he does or he doesn't. I freely admit that manga/Brotherhood Bradley has it, but that doesn't mean 2003 anime Bradley does. I'm simply asking you to back up the claim. If you don't back up the claim it's not valid for the debate, simple as that.

Yes, he is.

Bradley >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 99% of Avatar. Roy is somewhere in his league. Ergo, Roy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> some odd percentage of Avatar

How is Roy in Bradley's league? And how is Bradley astronomically better than most of Avatar?

The fact that Korra is capable of being fire other than that which she generated is a given. But as you and I both know, that's not the sticking issue here. You say Korra deflects Roy's fire, you have to prove she's fast enough.

You have to prove Roy's fire is fast enough for it to be an issue first. You made this claim:

More importantly, his explosions are fast enough so as to be near instantaneous.

You have to prove this yourself.

It's rather funny that you seem to think you have some sort of moral high ground after insulting me like that. If anything I should be reporting you.

[Cult of Personality]

Yeah that's what I thought you'd say. Report.

So does everyone agree that Roy wins instantly by snapping his fingers?

[Bradley]

Flaming: We have no problem with you calling a spade a spade (if you can prove it) what we do have a problem with is bullying. Posters should realize our members are under no obligation to treat you the same way one would treat a Pre-K student. Unwarranted cruelty and flaming that is without justification is another matter entirely report this and we’ll put a stop to it.
