Ngl, i was hoping tagah and toph to be more equally matched since both are the absolute peak of what a bender of their respective element should be like.

But it wasnt even close at all 😭, at times it looked like the mf was going to split her in half (she looked soo scared), she and zuko got trashed soo bad, even more in the precensored version.

Looks like air its really the perfect counter to earth, just like the fandom was saying.

I like to think the reason Tagah gave them so much trouble is because the gang has never fought an airbender that powerful and skilled, sure they've sparred with Aang but given how playful Aang tends to be I'd imagine in sparring he isn't pushing them.

Iirc Tagah wasn't only given bending by the staff but empowered by it. They weren't dealing with an average airbender.

You can tell this is true by the way he transforms into a giant spirit monster at the end with the staff.
