    Choose who you would win in a sword fight ,Zuko with his twin swords or Sokka with his space sword.

    Personally I think Zuko would win, but that just me.

    hard to say they are actually pretty evenly matched (although you wouldn't know it by the amount sokka goofs off) but zuko would probably win because his attacks are more fierce where sokka is a hit and run style

    yeah i think Zuko would win... he's much more experienced with his dual swords than Sokka was with his space sword.

    I think if Sokka trained more he would beat Zuko easier

    Sokka. Even after justa few days of training, Sokka was almost able to hold his own against Piando, pretty much the greatest sword masteer in the Avatar world. Now that he's had some time to keep training I think that he could match Zuko for skill. Remembert that although he may be fairly new to his sword, Sokka already has plenty of experience at hand to hand combat (Sokka Style!). Plus, when you add Sokka's brilliance with coming up with plans on the spot to get past his opponents, I think he would ahve a fair chance of winning.

    I think it's just kinda hard to think of Sokka as a someone skilled in combat just because the creators have made him more of a comic relief character. what a shame.

    This is ture, but Piando could have been holding back.

    I am assuming that in this fight Zuko would not be allowed to use his firebending.

    Zuko. Sokka is a weak fool, no hyperbole. He would roast Sokka like he does beef.

    I say it again, if Zuko is not allowed to use firebending in this hypothetical sword fight, Sokka has a chance. He really isn't the weak comedy relief character a lot of people make him out to be (although he is that in his spare time). He has shown repeatedly that he is more than capable of overcoming more powerful opponents through skill, quick thinking, and good luck (Sokka took down Combustion Man!).

    Where are the Sokka fans when you really need them?

    Am I the only one that agrees with Axrendale? I too think Sokka would win against Zuko if there was no bending involved.

    As long as Sokka manages to find Boomerang and Space Sword he will own Zuko in a non-bending fight.

    Boomerang + Space Sword > Zuko's broadswords.

    Zuko.

    Sokka trained with the sword for what, two days? Zuko's been doing it all his life, ever since Iroh sent him that dagger he's had a thing for swords. And the level of skill he shows with the swords (best seen in Zuko Alone and Blue Spirit episodes) is absolutely great. Not to mention he's generally good at martial arts.

    Sokka is just undertrained. He's had some lessons from a master, learned a few moves, but that's it. He's a thinker, not a fighter.

    Now, if in addition to the sword Sokka also had his boom-stick ahem boomerang, he'd have a chance. If he got lucky, he could surprise Zuko with a boomerang attack and then take him down with the sword. However, Zuko has shown that he's pretty good with blocking/avoiding flying objects (again, Zuko Alone/Blue Spirit). All it takes is one good block and the boomerang's out of the game.

    What I'd really like to see is some synergy between Zuko's swordsmanship and his firebending. In Zuko Alone, we saw him using the swords to generate a powerful fire attack. I'd say focusing energy in swords instead of hands could give him more "leverage" and "momentum" - if any of you have seen dual-sword Chinese kata you'd know what I'm talking about, they're beautiful in harmony and shockingly fast and powerful. I'd imagine lightning generated at tips of swords would be much more powerful and much quicker to charge than when using hands/fingers.

    I think Zuko would win but Sokka wouldn't let him win easily.
