Everyone should know their commander(s).
Remember that quote that Kirito told Agil at the beginning? Where he told Asuna to join a guild when she got invited by someone she trusted?

You can chalk Asuna joining a guild like that because of his advice at the end of ep2 after Illfang died. Although this wasn't animated in the 2nd episode due to time constraints, Kirito also explains to Asuna during their first meeting how to maximize efficiency/movement and other MMO stuff. She was a bit of a noob back then (in terms of game knowledge+lingo, not skill) but it looks like she took this advice seriously.

Of course it has been a very long time since the events of ep2 occurred, but you can see how the seed Kirito planted way back when has resulted in the Asuna of today. One could even argue that if not for Kirito's advice/guidance she might have died at some point, but those "what if" questions have little relevance now.

SRS mode Asuna was cute, especially the drool scene! I imagine that is every girl's nightmare, to wake up in front of someone you are interested in with drool hanging out of your mouth and grass stuck on your face. That .gif with her waking up is #1
