Talk:Aang VS Edward Elric/@comment-27347152-20190728063227/@comment-26418719-20190813211710

Even if Toph was faster, it doesn't excuse the fact that Gaara's sheer power and durability alone FAR exceed anything Toph- or hell, even Avatars like Aang or Korra, is capable of.

The fact that he can survive even casual sword slashes from Madara's Susano'o (the mere shockwaves of which were cleaving mountains in two) is, on its own, more than enough to tank anything Toph could feasibly throw at him.

Also bare in mind Toph beating Aang does not automatically make her as fast as Aang. You're gonna need to provide a bit more context on that fight. Especially considering that, unless Aang was limiting himself to mostly Earthbending, he has Toph beat by a mile, even without the Avatar State. Aang's airbending in particular is a hard counter to Toph, as it renders her Seismic Sense (The only thing that would allow her to fight Aang to begin with) meaningless.
