^ We agreed we were done arguing about firebending techniques, and that we would agree to disagree. We each have our own theories, which is fine until confirmed true or false by the creators. What I meant when I said smoke was created is that it was only as a result of the created fire, so it wasn't direct. I'm not talking about when the fire caught its flames on anything either. But I'm not going to give examples and further the discussion as I personally am done discussing that or anything firebending related on an airbending page.

Also, airbending has no KNOWN sub skills. I brought up a discussion so we could generate ideas on what would be plausible sub skills for airbending, as the other 3 elements are way ahead. That discussion was supposed to be entirely hypothetical by the way. I'm sure airbending has at least 3 good ones (again hypothetically possible), but I'm not sure what they would be besides soundbending which was already suggested in the article.

I did come up with a bunch of other thoughts, but they were all things relating to air density control, including vacuums and air pressure. The problem with air density control is that it is already used in several skills that airbenders use as part of regular airbending, so air density control may be to airbending as ice is to waterbending. It may also be a sub skill in of itself, allowing airbenders to do at least most of the other things that were brought up relating to it. Or it may be that part of it is normal airbending and another part is a sub skill. I haven't figured out where the line is there and what would cross it or not. For instance, your example of air pressure could be manipulated through air density control, but if an airbender had another way to control air pressure that had nothing to do with air density then I suppose you could consider them separate. The problem is that I personally can't think of how else they would be able to do it. So I have no idea if air pressure control and air density control are directly related, not related, or a choice of either depending on the method used.
