Okay to enlighten you all,
Aang could kill (but he won't) Ichigo for three valid reasons
1. Since he's a skilled Aikido fighter, he could easily dodge any slashes, hits, Ceros, etc. that Ichigo throws at him
2. He's the enitity of the freaking planet!
3. Aang could easily blood-bend Ichigo into suspended animation and use his energy-bending to strip Ichigo of his hollow form, thus permanently turning him into a regular ol' fighter.

Hate to burst your bubble, but only 1 of those points is correct.
1. Aang doesn't use Aikido, Airbending is based on Ba Gua. And the Bleach-verse is at much higher levels speed wise to Avatar. Aang couldn't dodge Ichigo.
2. That's true, the Avatar is the embodiment and spirit of the Earth itself.
3. Aang never learned how to blood bend. Only Hama and Katara knew how, and I doubt Katara taught him. And there's no facts supporting that energy bending can work on Hollow/Shinigami powers.

How does this avoid the issue of Ichigo being much faster than Aang?

Who was killed by a lightning bolt.

Aang never learned blood-bending, nor used it.
Also... Energy-bending hasn't shown to be capable of taking away parts of someone's soul, only blocking chi to disallow bending. Neither of which Ichigo uses.
Also in order to spirit bend, the target had to be immobilized. Not happening.

Let's not forget damage resistance. Ichigo takes *far* greater his than Aang. He could pretty much power through what Aang throws.
Avatar's a great show, but power level wise it's much lower. In that the people are physically just tough humans who can jump well, while Shounen characters are massively superhuman tanks.

Yep. Avatar characters tend to be Glass Cannons. Still, you do have people like Iroh reacting to Lightning.

1. You are both partially correct. Airbending is BASED of Ba Gua, however Aang clearly displays knowledge and use of Aikido forms as well during the series.
2. As you said it's true, but we know it has nothing to do with winning this fight.
3. Correct.
Speaking of bubble though the few things that may give Aang a fighting chance...
A. He can fly and to my knowledge Ichigo cannot. This alone gives Aang an immense advantage as he can keep at a distance where Ichigo cannot use his most powerful attacks, and Aang can use the entire environment to his advantage.
B. Ichigo couldnt just hack and slash him at will. Aang's air sphere could shield him. It's been shown able to take massive trauma without letting anything through.
C. Aang is faster than some give him credit for. He can run for distances so that he appears as only a blur and a human eye cannot make him out. He can also run fast enough to run on water and has broken the sound barrier in a short burst.
Not saying he wins but it's a more interesting fight than some say.
