Physics-wise, any sufficiently powerful non-waterbender should be able to break this technique.

An earth-bender could theoretically bend the carbon in their own bodies to puppteer their own bodies with greater force than the bloodbender is exerting on them. there is always the fear that these counter-forces would tear said earthbender in half of course.

Firebenders control motion at the most fundamental level through heat manipulation. Through absolutely pinpoint control, it should be possible for a firebender to not only resist the technique, but also simulate control over the other three elements.

I suppose airbenders could theoretically also counter-puppeteer themelves out of this situation, but at those speeds, it might be more productive and less risky to knock the bloodbender off balance with a breath attack and disrupt their concentration.
