If anything, it could potentially help close the distance Haru creates between his lowly self and his perceived super awesome flawless handsome by the second best friend. Judging from the conversation Haru had with Taku in ep3, I wouldn't be surprised if Taku dislikes being put on a pedestal by his best friend, moreso if he really is Cyan Pile and has been cheating in his tournaments.

The situation where best friends fight over the girl is pretty typical And if he might turn out to be a burst linker, which seem to be likely at this point with him being a kendo champion, then that situation is just setting them up to fight each other.

On the subject of the identity of Cyan Pile, I doubt that the meta hints in ep3 are red herrings because when coupled with the in-story hints so far, a few things seem to make a lot of sense. My theory is that
Spoiler for theory:

Finished up ep 2 last night, and find myself enjoying this series more than I had thought - hmm. Didn't expect the story to veer off into VR fighting games.... Anyway, will watch ep 3 tonight.
I guess this one and the Dusk Maiden x Amnesia are my two biggest surprises of the season....

I think it's over-compensating really. Accel World establishes Haru's flaws from the beginning and they're quite sympathetic and he's a video game badass so it's not that big of a deal. But then they just keep doling out the compliments whilst making it plain how flawed the other characters actually are, so the message ends up being a little too blatant. And lets face it, having low self esteem and being bullied a lot is nowhere near as bad as cheating in competitions and being borderline unfaithful to your boyfriend.

Man, when Haru was moving around his fingers and hands in a *squeeze* manner, my first thought was that he was thinking "I wanna grab that boobies but I shouldn't. I wanna grab that boobies but I musn't." mantra in his head.
Can somebody make a clip for that? By the way, is it just me or does Kawahara like his girls to be soo daring and bold? Spoiler for Not sure if its spoiler but just to make sure:
