Good idea! I can see myself usig this move, so count me in!

How much mass are we talking about here? It's an interesting suggestion, but I'd like a bit more detail on it, otherwise the same thing can be done with Torrent.

This is what he means... it's on 7:22 - 7:28 below (make sure to click watch this video on youtube)

And a suggestion this move should be called Tsunami because WaterSmack isn't fitting for this move (in my opinion)

Omg its exacly that! Btw, I added new stuff to the move

What if when the water is smashing the target, it leaves some water behind? Like, when you drop a bucket of water, then it dessipates

Maybe a more upgraded move of surge and done more fancy

This does the exact thing that Surge does. It's a nice suggestion, but there needs to be something that makes the ability needed.

This is not the best example. The way she waterbends here is a style exclusive to the game. It's a very common type of movement transition in Eastern developed games - short, snappy and explosive. Water doesn't really flow quite like that in the series.

This ability hurls a mass of water at targets, but I'd still like to know how it affects targets differently compared to abilities like Surge (sweeping the targets away with a wave of water and can even freeze them) and Torrent (a large, directable stream of water which pushes back, damages and freezes). Also, how would this push the target down if they're on a surface?

Just if they try moving or jump, they will have a downwards momentum.
One important thing: the game might be canon, but the gameplay isnt. Yey! Lets take water out of nowhere

I agree, this move seems to be quite redundant. (I appologize for the critical nature of my denial)
