Nickelodeon (ended 2008)
This is a match between a bender of any kind against an Alchemist who dosnt need to use transmutation circles. my brother and i argue this all the time.
I say Bending has the advantage because its rythm based and elements are always on hand.??in a match between Bending and Alchemy??the alchemist would be too slow, IMO. who do you think would win?
hmm, being able to bend earth, water, fire or air maybe even all four.
-OR-
being able to turn any metal into gold
err, i to bending
Not even a contest. Bending would beat alchemy any day. Unless its against...
an earthbender in a metal room,(excluding Toph)??or..
a waterbender with no water.
But that would just be cruel.

| I am a fan of both shows, especially ATLA, but I would have to say alchemy. Although, it depends on which alchemist. If it's a beginner, then it would be one-sided. I still think bending is cooler because it works in forms of martial arts. Alchemy does not. |

| I would have to say bending cause it is much easier and faster. My brother has forced me to watch a couple episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist and it took them forever to cast a spell. Plus i don't really like alchemy. |
Assuming were using FMA type alchemy, and since we don't have any specific matchups,??I'd say go with alchemy.
1. Ed was able to turn a villian's body into ethanol. Even assuming that he could only do it becuase the character was watery, he'd still be able to evaporate a waterbender's water source. (If we can use the manga too, Mustang can seperate water into hydrogen and oxygen. And then ignite the H into a giant explosion.)
2. Alchemists have been able to control water, fire, earth, air and metal. There are examples of multiple elements being used by one alchemist. They can create most if not all of the effects caused by bending.
3. Alchemy is capable of things bending isn't. Surrond the bender with an army of armour suits that each contain a bit of your soul. Turn the bender's body into a bomb. Make pink sparkly things surrond you and freak out the bender.??Or just break down a bender's body.

When he tries to transmute the floor or something they could just bend to scatter, bury the ingredients and earth benders can easily disable a fighter from using his hands (unless they can transmute with there feet which i don't think I ever saw in the show). Maybe if the alchemist has the philosophers stone then... yeah. |
