So Lets Begin

Tai Lung


It all started when little leopard was left on the doorsteps of the Jade Palace the place where great warriors are trained and wise master reside such as Master Shifu who found Tai Lung and took him in. He raised him as his own and later seeing his potential he trained Tai Lung personally hopping to be worthy of becoming the Dragon Warrior. After decades of training he would show his strength and accomplishments to Master Oogway who despite his skill and talent sensed darkness in Tai Lung so he had rejected him as the Dragon Warrior with Shifu sideing with Oogway this made Tai Lung reasonable furious so ended up destroying the Town and tried stealing the Dragon Scroll a Scroll containing "Infinite Power" however he would be stopped by Oogway and imprisioned for decades. However he wouldn't be stuck forever one day he would plan his escape and succed after escaping he would try the same again steal the Dragon Scroll whilst his way to the Palace he would encounter the "worthy" Furious Five who try to stop him only to fail.

After arriving at the Palace he would be face to face with his Mentor and his Father Figure where they would engage in a duel which he would win only to be stopped by the Dragon Warrior Po Ping a fat Panda raised in a noodle shop he had the one thing Tai Lung was looking for the Scroll so he after a silly goose chase Tai Lung would get his hand on the scroll only to find out that its and empty piece of paper enraged that his whole life that he had fought for nothing he attacked Po only for his attacks to be meaningless their fight would end with Po using the Wuxi Finger Hold on Tai Lung and sending him to the Spirit Realm where Tai Lung would reside until he would be brought back by The Chameleon who absorbed Tai Lung's power and hold him captive until Po arrived and give his power back and free him with that he would gain Po's respect and would take the Chameleon along to the Spirit Realm so she could not cause anymore trouble.

Azula


Azula was born into the fire nation as the princess of the Fire Nation being the second child of Ozai. Due to being royalty she mostly was spoiled with wealth and royal priviliges however she wasn't just spoiled as she was very talented. Due to his Mother's attachment towards his older brother Zuko she mostly started becoming jealous of him and with Ozai's influence she became more cruel and manipulative. One day she would hear and order from her grandfather to her father to excute his brother Zuko and when she warned him to flee their mother would hear of this and murder Azulon which allowed Ozai to become Fire Lord and with her mother gone Ozai molded her into a true heartless weapon.

After training intensly and mastering firebending she would be sent on her mission to capture the his brother Zuko and Uncle Iroh who had become traitors after locating them she tried lying by saying that they would be welcomed with welcome with open arms however due to one of Azula's guard calling them prisoners which led to Zuko and Iroh's escape. After her failed first attempt she would seek help from her childhood friends Ty Lee who was in a circus and Mai who was living in Omashu as the daughter of the governor's. After overthrowing Mai father she would claim the land for the Fire Nation renaming it to New Ozai whilst there she would also encounter and young airbender named Aang who turned out to be the Avatar with this she had another target on her list.

With failing to capture the Avatar or her uncle or brother she would encounter the kiyoshi warriors and defeat them and decided to infiltrate the Ba Sing See as kiyoshi warriors and learning of a attack on the Fire Nation whilst a Solar Eclipse was gonna happen. She would overthrow the Earth King and take control of the Earth Kingdom. Where she would also find her targets Aang, Iroh and Zuko this time it would go to plan by manipulating Zuko she was able to convince him to join the fire nation with Zuko joining her this allowed her to capture her uncle and presumably kill the Avatar.

After returning to the Fire Nation she and Ozai planned to use Sozin's Comet to gain immense power and destroy the Earth Kingdom once and for all. Azula would also tell her father about the attack on the Fire Nation with that knoweldge Ozai would evacute before the attack ruining the Avatar's plan. Azula along Mai and Ty Lee would travel to the Boiling rock because Zuko planned to break free Hakoda whilst she hopped that they fall into the boiling lake she would be betrayed by Mai and Ty Lee as Mai feeling for Zuko made her turn against Azula with this betrayal she would imprision both of them this betrayal will have lasting consquences.

After a duel with Zuko who had turned against the Fire Nation she would be crowned the new Fire Lord this made her spiral into madness after her friends betrayal's she trusted no one and banished everyone she trusted whilst halucinating visions of her mother she would break down completly having lost it completly. At her crowning her brother would arrive and Azula challenged him to a Agni Kai. During the fight due to her mental health getting worse her attack were wild allowing Zuko to gain the upper hand realizing this she decided to attack Katara  who ended up beating her which made her breakdown a she lost her title as the Fire Lord after Zuko's crowning and the defeat of Ozai she was sent to Insane asylum where Zuko would ask her help find their mother which ended in her fleeing into the forgetful valley where she would realise that she had to manipulate Zuko into becoming the next Ozai which worked as Zuko realised that by trying to stop her he himself turned into his father after having accomplished that goal she vanishes into the night and is never to be seen again.

Skill and Experience

Tai Lung


Being adopted by Shifu meant he was trained under him he started off at a early age being a prodigy in Kung Fu. Having learnt alot of techniques not just fighting style but weapon mastery and tactics being the first person to be taught the tousand scrolls of Kung Fu which were scrolls written by Oogway the creator of Kung Fu. He was able to escape prison with nothing but a feather and and defeated Shifu who has mastered all fighting styles and was trained by Oogway. His fighting style (Leopard style) is very viscious it mixes agile moves with raw power with extra move called paralyzation which targets anyone nerves. 


Azula


Azula was a prodigy at firebending and was very knoweledgeable on warfare techniques even learning how to channel Lightning being so skilled she nearly killed Aang. She could use blue fire which was only learnt by the most skilled firebenders she could make fireballs, spit it out of her mouth and fly with it. She is very skilled in Hand to Hand she could disarm and fight against Suki who was the leader of the kiyoshi warriors and she was training in martial arts since her childhood.


Hax and Abilities

Tai Lung

Surface Scaling and Bodily Weaponary


Master Martial Artist


Was trained in Kung Fu by Shifu has defeated other Martial Artist such as the Furious Five and Shifu.

Shockwave Generation


can casually create shockwaves by jumping and punching



Accelerated Development


should be comparable to his nephew Peng who was able to learn Kung Fu by just watching it with no prior knowledge

Extreme Pain Intolerance


got shit on, launched through buildings numerous times and launched high into the air and continued fighting.


Paralysis


The Leopard style isn't only known for its speed and raw strength but for its signature move the Nerve attack. It has shown causing full paralysis on the enemy using his index and middle finger to attack the enemies artery near the heart sending a wave of chi through their body before paralyzing them.

Azula

Fire Manipulation and Forcefield Creation


If it isn't obvious enough Firebenders can use fire in all seriousness Azula is skilled enough to use blue fire which burns at 1400-1650°C she can shoot fire, use it to fly, shoot it out of her mouth and make forcefields with it.

Lightning Manipulation


Being a sub-skill of firebending it is only natural that Azula can shoot out and redirect Lightning. It can be used to shoot through the body which is fatal to any human if not dodged or blocked.

Explosion Manipulation


Weapon Creation


Azula can create daggers out of flames

Stealth Mastery


Was able to disguise herself as the Kiyoshi warriors and infiltrate Bai Sing Se, was able to sneak away from team Avatar


Resistances

Tai Lung




Azula


Heat: Can fight against other Firebenders, is fine when her hands are on fire
Body Puppetry:  Chi makes it hard for the body to be controlled.


Weaknesses

Tai Lung


Despite his Achievments Tai Lung has his faults firstly he is very cocky and overconfident and underestimates his enemies best shown against Po when he called him a fat panda little did he know that fat panda came back to bite him

Azula


Despite her skill and knowledge the Flame Princess has her fair share of weakness most obviously she insane even Iroh didn't bother trying to fix her. Obvious Insanity aside if she losses her temper her bending becomes eratic and she attacks without thinking not to mention if a solar eclipse happens her powers are completly gone.

Scaling

Tai Lung

Po


Whilst Tai Lung has never fought or even interacted with his Dragon Warrior form and reasonable not scale to it he should still scale to his Base form as he was able to fight on par with him in the first movie.


Furious Five


Tai Lung has fought and defeated the Furios Five easily so he should also scale to them

Tigress
Crane
Mantis

Shifu


Being trained by him and even surpassing him during their confrontation shows that the Snow Leopard has surpassed his teacher so reasonably this means he scales to him.

Other Kung Fu Masters


Azula

Aang


Considering Azula has fought Aang numerous times even nearly killing him its reasonable to scale her to the Avatar well at least in his base as even Ozai her father failed against Aang in his Avatar state.

Team Avatar


Azula has fought most of Team Avatar either head on or scales to characters who scale to them so its reasonable to say she scales to them

Toph
Zuko

Katara
Sokka
All Together

Firebenders


Iroh
Combustion Man
Ozai
Miscellaneous Benders


Verdict

This Fight will have three categories 

Strength                                       Speed


Hax and Abilities

Lets start with Strength

Overall both Azula and Tai Lung seem very even at first both having feats that have then in the Building - Town ranges however taking in higher ends of power Tai Lung takes this as Azula should comfortably scale to Zaheer making a Snow Storm which is equilavent to 677.77 Megatons of TNT  however Po's Wuxi fingerhold is higher than any ATLA feat excluding questionable high-ends with it coming out to 813.09 Teratons of TNT or 1199700 times stronger than Azula.

Note: Even taking in the instance of Po clearing clouds it makes Tai Lung 1.23 times stronger.

Giving the Strength advantage to Tai Lung

Hax and Abilities

Whilst it might look like a clear cut however It can go both ways as whilst Azula has the advantage in Quantity with her having some more unique abilities such as Lightning and Forcefield however Tai Lung isn't a slouch as both can instantly shut eachother off with their options Azula with Lightning and Tai Lung with Paralysis Azula's other abilities such as Firebending gets negated by the fact that Tai Lung was able to use fire on his paws with no issue and walk through it and so with all their major Hax covered its best to say this category is a Tie  

so the winning factor comes down to...

Speed

Azula is a casuall Lightning Timer being able to match other such as Zuko who can redirect Lightning getting to Mach 3848.39 compared to Tai Lung who scales to Po and Mantis who have feats reaching Mach 201027.01 to 594340.73 making Tai Lung 52.23 - 154.43 times faster than Azula

Allowing Tai Lung to take the Speed advantage allowing him to use his Paralysis before Azula can use her Lightning

Note: Even if we don't scale Tai Lung to Po's world traveling punch or Mantis Light shenanigans he would still be faster as Crane could fly over Mountains which would make Tai Lung 0.67 times faster still giving him the advantage

Strength                                       Speed
