I think they will end the episode after the fight with the Salamanders. |

Ending there seems very possibly. |

When I read that scene my justification for Kirito not starting in his race's starting city was that his last coordinates in Sword Art Online where used. This still wouldn't be a very satisfying explanation, because the change of Kirito appearing close to Suguha would still be very small. Last edited by chaos_alfa; 2012-10-17 at 13:16. |

It's something I attribute to Kawahara (or for that matter a great deal of the general public) being unfamiliar as to how networks function, because what they described is quite frankly impossible.
At least the semi-Incarnate System stuff has some basis to work from :P |

Most of the time it's shows based on real-life events, especially war, that tries to be as accurate as possible - ie. Band of Brothers and The Pacific etc. |

...Apparently, on a local net router/switch such as ours, there is a chance that it'll redirect the packet to the wrong device. This is assuming that you're a using a "retro" router... (Hmm... Kirito makes computers... I guess that counts on a far-fetched scale).. The chance? around 0.1%. Even then, the computer would usually reject that packet, unless at the time it was also receiving UDP packets. (Yes, I'm also assuming that, else it would be simply impossible: TCP tracks the originator.) Next, the game itself must accept the packet. Considering how ALO does NOT seem crappy, it seems quite impossible. THEN AGAIN, ALO might not have accounted for UDP packets in the wrong computer so... 50%. 0.05% + plot = 100%?

SAO is ultimately an adventure story with a sci-fi twist, it's not about network protocols. Stuff like this happens in just about every single show ever made, anime or not. |

In other words, it's based on the assumption that an unlikely coincidence becomes reality. Just like most fiction. And we already know that this author has a high predisposition to so-called "ass-pulls" and following the "rule of cool" more often than not.

Supplementary comment since it was brought up: As to Mahouka, at least the author knows what he's talking about even though it was shitload of complications. I prefer that to having 'myths' as basis for explanations though On a side note: Any seasoned anime watcher should be able to tell Taketatsu Ayana's distinct voice (c'mon, it's Azusa and Kirino ). I wonder whether anime-only watchers' comments/speculations on this 'point' will get deleted in the episode 16 thread as well since AyuAyu's post on that got deleted lol. Or could it be that really non of the anime-only watchers can tell? (huge suspension of disbelief for me) Last edited by larethian; 2012-10-20 at 16:09. |
