[Anime] Sword Art Online (Postponed to Summer 2012)

Kirito's Lv 92 stats transferred over to ALO. You have a guy that uses the 'illusion' spell that is determined by the user's stats and you get a broken ass character.
There is a penalty for dying. Lost of EXP and what not. I myself would avoid losing EXP as much as possible when playing MMOs.

in this case though, if your character is beyond current lvl parameter strength, i don't think EXP loss is an issue =/

In Kirito's case, yes. If youre thinking of the part when he refused to give up and allow himself and Lyfa to die. It is just not the fact that time is essential to saving Asuna, but do remember that Kirito lived in SAO for two years where death is real. His ideals stayed the same, abandoning his friends is not an option.

They explain it pretty clearly in the novels. A short excerpt.



So yea, a boss

Yes, because not everyone who uses it has stats like Kirito. Said illusion spell depends on a player's stats.

Want to ask something a bit: the impression I got when I read the novel is that the monster is pure illusion while Kirito is the one doing the attacking, and the shape is so scary because of Kirito's high combat skill. Then again, in the anime it's like it's no illusion skill, more like morphing skill. Me is confused.

I took it as Kirito's stats are so op that his illusion actually affects reality, or virtual reality as it would be. He does have ridiculous stats: 1-H Swords: 1000, Unarmed skills: 991, Fishing: 643.

Episode 20

Why doesn't Kirito use dual wielding all the time?

Well, in SAO its obvious that Kirito does not want to stand out too much. Having that unique skill really increased his fame exponentially, especially since he basically 1 maned a raid boss, and then dueled Heathcliff.

ALO has no dual wielding skill. He is using his own skill and memory to re-preform the moves (hard to do and makes a lot of mental stress). There are also no sword skills. So Kirito is manually inputting the combos essentially. They do not explain it fully until vol. 7, but the amount of speed and skill needed to just do an +8 hit combo means that really only a few players can even do things like this. Doing something like star-burst stream which is 16 hits, is considered impossible. He used vertical square, which is only 4 hits, to win. Vertical square is like I'm doing a hadouken and there is no input for it in the game.

Doesn't want to show off, I guess. Remember in the previous season he said it was for dire situations only.

I'm late... well it was a good ep anyway.

Episode 20

Episode 20

Really looking forward to some Sakuya doujins

What's with the shaking boobs and ass

KIRITO!!! You Awesum Bastard!!! [REFERENCE; Episode 20]

in ep 20 i kinda loled a little.. i mean, kirito's buying time at least so someone can call for backup but... eh, kirito total pwnage looks good and im happy about the ep

Sakuya's anime version was kinda a let-down for me, kinda less elegant-looking and bigger boobs than i thought. :p

If your complaining about boobs why don't you talk about Lefa's transforming titties. Besides, Sakuya barely looks any different from the light novel.
