If I was Kirito with Heathcliff privlidges, the first thing I would have done was lock out Sugou's log-out function, THEN dice him up.
Excalibur does jack shit.
It's hard for me to imagine what the story after this would be since it's pretty much a happy ending now.
Not to hard to imagine what upcoming doujinshis would be like though!
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Which made it exactly the right kind of weapon for somebody like Sugou who could do jack shit by himself, except torture a girl and brag.Originally Posted by Buffalobiian
Hmm... HE'S Going to get laid by Asuna now. Aside from that... maybe he was a hacker this whole time with a hacked nerve gear. :P
Its hard to say the quality of Excalibur as Kirito set his level to 1 before handing him it anyway.
Wait, I thought ALO did not have player levels? And don't weapons require a certain skill level to wield?
Peace.
Like I said "HACKED" :P
Not unless it refers to the level of skills or stats.
It's just a GM console command for beta testing or debugging, likely shorthand for reset everything: skills, stats, unlocked magic spells, health bonuses, etc.
It was one of thefewonly things in this episode that wasn't flat-out retarded. Alfheim was a direct copy of the SAO engine and all associated data, but with new assets, from an earlier model. Yui pointed out that it was using a earlier version of the overseer sub-routine.
Suguo the dumbass made himself god, but forgot to correctly purge or even curate the data. When he grabbed 300+ players for experimenting and Asuna, he dragged in a lot of other stuff he wouldn't want, but simply ignored it (like Kirito's broken stats, Kayaba's admin access account).
Thanks to figuring it out who Kayaba was pretending to be during the final hours of SAO, Kirito could correctly guess the access commands.
But why was Sugou able to hold Excalibur then? Does that mean that sword has no requirements?
Peace.
Excalibur grants the chosen one its incredible powers, regardless of stats, is how we can interpret its story and adapt it here?
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Some weapons require a certain skill level to be equipped. We can only assume that Excalibur is one such weapon.
As for the level 1 thing, I intuitively thought it was a level of privilege - effectively purging Oberion of his rights as an admin.

Dunno. If I was a building a total virtual reality game, I would be very careful about unexplained invisible walls, such as an object you can't "equip" for some mysterious reason. It would have been a different thing if the sword had given a shock to too weak players or it had a wielder health drain effect that would need to be countered by the health regeneration of a higher level player. But simply unable to be equipped... That fits some usual third person rpg game played on a computer screen / TV, but hardly a game this immersive.
That was a typo. I meant that "we can only assume that Excalibur is NOT one such weapon"

Kirito wants his sister´s ass so much, - is all I have to say about this last episode.
Glad we´re done here.
Thats a hot timeslot going free.
Anyone knows what's coming up to replace SAO ?
If I'm reading the moonphase schedule correctly, Tokyo MX's 土 / 24:00 slot will be filled by OneShura (Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru)
A moe harem novel adaptation, also by A-1 Pictures (studio who did SAO).
He says he got his stats reset, but surely not all the way to level 1... He would be far too weak to be in the company of Alfheim veterans if that was the case. Plus he would need to begin fighting Aincrad from the beginning.
All in all I'm glad this is over. I wouldn't call this a good show, but for some bizarre reason I still needed to keep watching.
It was caused of Asuna's ass and Sugu's ass (Sister). :P
Glad this is over, like Kraco I wouldn't call it a good show but I just couldn't leave it alone and actually wanted to see what they'd pull out of their asses next which is a point for it that I can't give to many other shows. I find some interesting conclusions when I compare it to how I felt about Accel World.
I think SAO had a much higher potential for quality than Accel World due to its setting and underlying framework but that SAO failed miserably at living up to that potential in a way I could respect. Accel World on the other hand, handled itself quite fairly decently despite the 'handicap' of its setting and framework. My final verdict would be that Accel World was a better show than SAO due to the better execution and storytelling but that SAO might actually give it a run for its money on the entertainment scale with how spectacularly it failed to live up to the potential (and hype) it had. I would much rather see another season of Accel World than any more of Kirito's incestuous, two-timing adventures.
So, I just finally got around to watching this series.
The premise of this series would have made an awesome, like, 500 episode shonen series.
This, was kinda awesome in the first season, but progressed way to fast, and skipping most of what would have been considered the interesting parts.
I could seriously just watch Kirito slumming with lower level players and surprising people with how powerful he is over and over and over again.
Second season, I dunno wtf... Just...bleh.
I know this is some kind of manga novel series or something. Is the ending to this different from that, or, what's the deal there?
