Do you mean pro-bending? That would be more of a sports-sim, IMHO.

I think that's splitting hairs.

It really isn't. Smash Bros./ For Honor is very different than Mario Volleyball.

I just mean competitive multiplayer fighting could be pro-bending.

That's still not really conveying the stuff that's making Avatar interesting, IMHO.

Avatar was amazing for a few reasons: creative world-building, philosophical questions, spirituality, adventures, politics, martial arts and the intricate detail in the martial arts animation. None of these aspects are well suited for a "competitive multiplayer" game. No one remembers anything about the story of the first titanfall game.

It has the vibes of the XCOM First-person shooter they planned, before the series was revived with the tactics game.

Edit: The pro-bending stuff was mostly there to introduce characters and introduce some drama for the characters. I think "sports anime" stuff isn't the thing most people like about anime. Plus: pro bending never included airbending.
