Seriously, what are you yapping about? Iroh wasn't lucky when breaching the outer wall.''' I didn't say he needed to take Ba Sing Se through luck. His fearsome/legendary Firebending is what instilled fear, awe, and respect to both the Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation, and he would've succeeded if he continued despite his son's death, but then he wouldn't be the Iroh we know if he did. You can see that Azulon left his throne room in the comics and Zuko leaving the throne room vacant to deal with the mayor of Yu Dao.............'''

Therefore, Ozai didn't have to create a new position in order to leave the throne vacant you buffoon. Therefore, Ozai could've done what Iroh did, and lay siege to Ba Sing Se, but succeed. It doesn't matter if Ozai participated in minor battles anyways, because Iroh didn't have to deal with the people Ozai fought in order to conquer Ba Sing Se. Ozai is not a better Firebender than Azula because she is a prodigy, creates decently sized hotter flames, in addition to having a more cunning mind, and being more agile. If he was a better Firebender than Azula or even Iroh, he would've conquered Ba Sing Se by force as Iroh almost succeeded in doing and win the war in about 2-3 years into his ascension to the throne '''before Aang was even released from the Iceburg. '''

If taking Ba Sing Se means essentially winning the war, which it does, since Katara stated, "They pretty much won the war when they took Ba Sing Se" and Zuko asking '''"Did we win the war?" 5 years prior to Katara finding Aang when Azula said their uncle is coming back home, then the battles Ozai took part of were kind of meaningless, and should've focused on destroying Ba Sing Se. You keep on saying that Ozai is a more powerful Firebender than Azula, but if he was, as you state, then he would be able to create the same sized flames he produced when we see him fighting in the show, but blue. Azula, for the most part only bent with two fingers as well for precision. You can say that Azula's flames are blue because she relentlessly pursued perfection, but then again, you can say the same as Ozai who pursued perfection, hated anyone weak, and was intent on killing anyone. Dragging Iroh's exploits when it comes to Ozai's Firebending skills helps explain my point that if Ozai was as powerful in Firebending as Iroh was''', he would've helped destroy Ba Sing Se. He most likely stayed in the Fire Nation so he could steal Iroh's crown but even still, he had 5 years as Fire Lord to lead his army and destroy Ba Sing Se.

It wasn't sheer dumb luck that Azula ran into the Kyoshi Warriors and defeated them. The battle between Suki and Azula was cut off and left a mystery until later on where we realized they had been defeated. For all we could've known, Suki escaped, and could've warn the Earth King/Team Avatar who was now free of the Dai Li's grasp and things would've gone much differently. Long Feng was arrested before we knew of Suki's fate, so we could've safetly assumed that Suki could've escaped and would be permitted into Ba Sing Se. Long Feng wasn't arrested after we knew what happened to Suki so you should've known for a fact that Long Feng couldn't stop/prevent the Kyoshi Warriors from entering Ba Sing Se.

Ozai's normal Firebending was never seen and during the series' finale he was shown charging a lot of his attacks and some of his '''Fire Streams were just about the same size as Azula's Fire Streams produced during her Agni Kai with Zuko. Even the Firebenders on the airships created Fire Streams just as big as Ozai's by charging it and holding it without interruption. '''

So your point about Ozai creating a new position so he can leave the throne room vacant is invalid, and so is your point that Ozai is a more powerful Firebender than Azula.
