What I REALLY liked about this fight, is that it focused a lot on their skills as swordsman. Like, yes the final clash was with special techniques, but most of the fight was sword vs sword, with some special skills in the mix. This I liked a lot, and we got to see Kiritos skill again, not only his special powers. I mean, Kirito showed it a lot in SAO, but then we saw more powers than his skills, BOB kinda brought that back though. But I still remember when he deflected the attack from Blue Eyes to save Asuna, cause he couldn't possibly block it. That was a crazy show of skill.
Just because S3 onwards of SAO is prohibited in India to watch I'm now forced to watch it in english dubbing using VPN for the first time in my life. Oh I hate the humorless, feelingless english that dubbing artists can't make up to the real Japanese ones, but it's alright I'm down for SAO anytime anywhere anyhow
Honestly, I think SAO part one and two (Original and Alfhiem) are pretty good. I think when Gun Gale came, everything fell apart, and it got messier and messier after that
