how would we know this lol the only feat any of the airbenders have is Monk Gyatso killing those Fire Nation soldiers (and we don't know how he did it)
Hard to say, as we know being a bending master doesn't necessarily make you a expert fighter. Like I doubt Toph's old teacher will be winning any Earth Rumble matches for example. But still kinda torn here, Gyatso alone took down comet enhanced soldiers and that's no small feat, and it shouldn't be too much of a stretch that his fellow masters are around/at that same level. On the other hand the Red Lotus are all expert fighers who have defeated other masters with relative ease.
Here's the thing, as Zaheer showed, pretty much NO ONE at the time of Korra (or even Aang when he became active again) had any idea how to combat a competent air bender due to the style being more or less extinct for over 100 years.
I reckon if Tenzin can handle Zaheer by himself (as was happening in their fight until he got taken out from the side) you can assume one airbending master can take Zaheer as well. That leaves a four on three situation, given a roughly equal ability level amongst the others I'd hand it to the airbenders. The one disadvantage they may have is a lack of fighting style variety.
Don't compare air monks to Tenzin Tenzin is a top tier benders and fighter he isn't the average air bender. And none of these monks would fight like Tenzin.
Ooooooo, probably the air masters, they were capable of teaching aang advanced stuff until he ran away, these guyes knew there stuff just never got a chance to flex
I look at it as roughly 5 Tenzins worth of airbending masters. We can assume a few of them were stronger than Tenzin. Tenzin alone was able to fight against all of them for a short period of time so having four more airbending masters added seems like over kill
the flaw with assuming the airbenders are on par with Tenzin is that Tenzin grew up in modern circumstances which allowed him to understand how other styles of bending fight. He was trained both to master his own airbending as well as how it's most effective against other elements.
We don't know any of the air master's fighting style details, though I give them a fair chance, a lot can be done with air mastery if they cat h them right.
I would like to say the air benders, even though the red Lotus has more of a variety of all the elements being used, including all of their peaks sub elements, but I really do think that the air benders would win because they just master one key element, even though yes, Zahir did learn how to let go of his earthly ties resulting in his ability to fly I think the master Airbenders would still kick their ass.

My head canon is that he pulled all the air out of the room. Which ended up killing all of them.
Killing all those fire benders during Sozin's Comet was a pretty spectacular feat, though.
Also the definition of the Red Lotus. Like are we just referring to Zaheer and his gang, or the whole of the Red Lotus.
Okay, so I agree and all of that, but like... FN? I get what you mean but my brain immediately went like: Those sum' fuckin' nasty soldiers my broski!
I mean if they’re anything like tenzin they win for sure. P’li is the only real threat here.

This easily goes to the red lotus lol
Red Lotus. Zaheer can extract air from their lungs.
From airbenders? I don't hear more stupidly thing
Man we got robbed of the funny beards the Air Nomads had in TLOK
Red lotus. One of the most deadly groups in the entire universe and has some of the most unique bending as well.
Haha no
Haha
Okay look this would be a good question but we don’t have any information on them ,
They probably would suffocate the Red Lotus.
You don't know if they can do that
the flaw with assuming the airbenders are on par with Tenzin is that Tenzin grew up in modern circumstances which allowed him to understand how other styles of bending fight. He was trained both to master his own airbending as well as how it's most effective against other elements.
Got the idea zaheer is a neutral party since he is both a Airbender and red lotus member
Giving that the airbender are dead I say the Red Lotus wins
If Gyatso is willing to waste some soldiers he could probably do the same to these guys too.
We don't know any of the air master's fighting style details, though I give them a fair chance, a lot can be done with air mastery if they cat h them right.
We have 0 Feats on them we can't give them Tenzin Feats Tenzin is a top tier bender one of the strongest in the franchise

So you think benders who we haven't seen fight beats top tier red lotus members
If u include Kelsang and Yangchen(only air bending)
Not sure, but I think they'd destroy Zaheer.
Gyatso solos
Not at all your trolling
