[mightynine]

C'mon, let's meet my friend Mako

 

[Man God]

YUI!!!!!!!

 

[bigkrev]

YURI END?!?

 

[ckohler]

We Yuri now?

 

[Zonic]

& then she dropped Asuda from a great height to drain all her HP in order to finish the fight.

........also wow, yeah, it is Ryuko.

 

[skLaFarebear]

I fucking refuse to believe that Solar Plexus punch is a fucking command in this game.

Eh, throwing out a move that can inflict stun for a second or two isn't exactly a unique command in an MMO.

 

[B-Dubs]

Seriously? So Kirito totally could have beaten her if he had tried as hard as Asuna.

 

[UltraGunner]

She's taking the harem for herself

 

[zedreamcast]

Plot twist, Zekken is actually the first member of Asunas harem.

 

[ramoisdead]

Welp one less in the harem now. Kirito gonna hold auditions?

 

[Mr. Patch]

5 mins of SAO was actually good. Too bad it'll go back to boring bullshit next week.

 

[BatDan]

Right then.
Moar Shippuden.

 

[Crocodile]

"IS THIS THE ELEVEN HIT COMBO!?!?!?!"

LMFAO

This is some strong animation and choreography though. Too many explosions of color though. Obscures the fight.

So the prize for victory is Asuna's hand in marriage or something? LOL

 

[Shard]

Oh, Oh, Oh, I know where this leads.

 

[Soulflarz]

Seriously? So Kirito totally could have beaten her if he had tried as hard as Asuna.

Basically?

These shows are going by fast.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Wait, is she an NPC? Is that what he meant by full time? She doesn't actually leave the game because she's fake? Time for Naruto Shippuden.

 

[BassForever]

Seriously? So Kirito totally could have beaten her if he had tried as hard as Asuna.

And use duel wield + excalibur

It's implied that on even equipment and even skills Yuuki would beat Kirito

 

[Raxus]

I missed Naruto last week. What happened?

 

[Mizerman]

Animation's nice & all, but I can't make myself care about this fight considering I don't care about Zekken & I'm tired of Asuda after the first half.

Agreed. I mean, it was decent and all, but the characters are still kinda bland for me to care about.

 

[lazybones18]

She must need help with her homework.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

She's taking the harem for herself

Kirito never expected his main squeeze to switch teams. lol

 

[Regiruler]

I love that naruto bump

 

[Amikami]

5 mins of SAO was actually good. Too bad it'll go back to boring bullshit next week.

The show was best when it focused on battling. Otherwise its boring or just plain silly.

 

[Moaradin]

Seriously? So Kirito totally could have beaten her if he had tried as hard as Asuna.

Pretty sure he totally

Spoiler

loses

100%. What Kirito said earlier in the episode will make a lot more sense later on.

5 mins of SAO was actually good. Too bad it'll go back to boring bullshit next week.

This arc actually has a lot of good action in it, and it handles it's drama decently by SAO standards.

 

[Man God]

I missed Naruto last week. What happened?

Everything changed.

 

[zedreamcast]

Eh, throwing out a move that can inflict stun for a second or two isn't exactly a unique command in an MMO.

Ok I can believe a punch is a command, but for a fucking monk, not a swordsman. Why would a swordsman have a punch to the solar plexus.

 

[kewlmyc]

I'm surprised Kirito isn't the one she's looking for. Maybe that's why this is the best arc.

 

[B-Dubs]

And use duel wield + excalibur

It's implied that on even equipment and even skills Yuuki would beat Kirito

Ehh, not sure I buy that.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

What was that about M&M's?

 

[ckohler]

The first half was bleh, but that second half was great. And Zekken is a cutie. I kinda like her.

Time for Shippudenz.

 

[foxuzamaki]

So if you were part of the naruto manga community like I am, for the past week you would have been part of a HinataVsakura who would beat who battle.

 

[BassForever]

Ehh, not sure I buy that.

Believe it!

 

[Shard]

Right, time for the Shippuden break.

 

[aspiegamer]

Twist: This is actually the tutor her mother has hired and she's a VRMMO addict, too!

So we got 5 minutes of good action before they had to go and make it weird again before the end of the episode. "Was harem not fun enough? How about yuri?"

 

[Schadenfreude]

Ok I can believe a punch is a command, but for a fucking monk, not a swordsman. Why would a swordsman have a punch to the solar plexus.

Uhh, you can pretty much do anything in game. Just that commands do more damage. Like how Kirito showed Klein how to kill pigs with rocks in the first episode.

 

[Insolitus]

Seeing Kirito lose all his harem members one by one would make this show much better.

 

[kewlmyc]

So if you were part of the naruto manga community like I am, for the past week you would have been part of a HinataVsakura who would beat who battle.

What a silly argument that was.

 

[Crocodile]

And then moments like this happen and you can be forgiven for thinking SAO is an awesome action show

Awesome action shows have good action sequences frequently. Once every 10 episodes or whatever isn't enough.

 

[zedreamcast]

So if you were part of the naruto manga community like I am, for the past week you would have been part of a HinataVsakura who would beat who battle.

They're women in naruto so they arent allowed to do anything interesting. So neither.

 

[Moaradin]

I must say I like Erica Mendez as Zekken. Quite a different performance compared to her Ryuko.

 

[grandjedi6]

So if you were part of the naruto manga community like I am, for the past week you would have been part of a HinataVsakura who would beat who battle.

No one cares about a battle between female Yamchas.

Hence the 'moments like this happen' comment

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Olddddd intro.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Aww yes

 

[Moaradin]

Give us proper Shippuden openings pls

 

[Regiruler]

Time for the best show on da block.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Ok I can believe a punch is a command, but for a fucking monk, not a swordsman. Why would a swordsman have a punch to the solar plexus.

In FFXIV, the gladiator (basically the class before you level up to the paladin job) has a move called shield bash where you deliver a strike with your shield and cause stun for 3 seconds. I imagine it'd work the same if you didn't have a shield and it'd basically be throwing a punch or an elbow to inflict stun.

Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it.

 

[Man God]

No Blue Bird?!?

 

[GaimeGuy]

You shouldn't have done that, Asuma

 

[Ultratech]

Oh yeah, forgot about Naruto.

Don't think they're gonna beat that immortal guy...
