Well… if you look at it like that then he was a two handed sword user… buttt, he was a one handed sword user with the skill "dual blades" ;o so that's kinda why he wielded two swords in the anime. :/ though, i think we should ignore the fact that he held his sword with two hands sometimes.
Well there's a reason for him using two hands occasionally, and it's much the same reason people do it in real life: for more power (or for defensive reasons, depending on the case). It goes without saying that using a sword with one hand is almost always less efficient than when two hands are used with one. Because of this, it's not uncommon for those using one handed swords to grip them with two hands, especially for downward strikes or slashes that depend more on power than piercing ability, as well as when blocking. It's generally the slower option, depending on the weight of the sword, and leaves the user open to longer recoil, slower attacks, and less options in regards to dodging.

Other RPGs do this on occasion as well, such as in Final Fantasy where the skill called "Doublehand" is involved, which does the same thing. It's because of all this that I would say that Kirito was probably a one-handed sword user, and that the reason he could wield the sword with two hands was because the game allowed for the player to do so, as its physics engine created a type of balance in that two-handed option's implementation, especially since most people use shields, as stated by...Asuna, was it?

This RP looks like a keeper :3 -Reserve Please-

I assume the "Real Life Name" part in the SU is your IC real life name, right? If so shouldn't that not be put in the SU to make things more interesting in the RP itself?
You'll have to excuse me because I have very little RP experience.

*realizes no spots are left*

Q_Q

You are lucky c: someone just withdrew from the RP so count yourself as reserved. And it's your real life name in the IC :p not your real real name. ^^

I think it was Asuna who stated it yes… I think…

There are no spots left :3 I will submit the IC thread when a few more have finished their SU's.

OHOHOHO. Out of 10,000 original players, some 4,000 players died throughout the duration of SOA. Some were due to PK. Of course, I will try to kill you guys if you get in my way! I killed my guildmates already; what is stopping me from killing all of you? *maniac laugh*

I will try really hard to at least kill one of you before the game ends. More fun if there is a killer among you guys, right? Then, you'll think of two enemies; the AI and dotcom. OHOHOHO

Yellowgardevoir- Katana is alright, the extra skill can be unlocked by the GM's by occasional use of the curved sword skill, which means by regular use of your Katana. You DO need a curved blade skill to be able to use a Katana.
Thanks so much. This was really bugging me so I'm glad it has been clarified.
Also, PinkSaphire: I highly approve of the Fire Emblem reference.

@PinkSaphire: Ah, yes. I didn't get that at first because I've never actually recruited Severa.

06di2A4.jpg

In-Game Name: (Shiren) «試練-PATP001»
Gender: Female
Age: 12
Status: "Beater"

Appearance: Shiren is relatively small, like a young girl would be. She has bright, glowy blue eyes, with brilliant shining blue hair that seems to match. She has soft colored skin, and often wears armor that seems to resemble clothing more than anything, mostly in the form of skirts and dresses.

Personality: Shiren is often times quiet and well-reserved. She analyzes both allies and opponents, and doesn't really speak until she can say something without any doubt in her mind. She is kind, however, she is very able to take care of herself, even scoring some free items and aid from strangers by pulling off the 'scared/innocent child' act. However, once she is seen in battle, it proves to be little more than an act; this girl fights like a fully grown warrior. Fierce, determined, and so far, always victorious. However, she's yet to fight a boss, as people tend to call her a "Beater" and this causes everyone to avoid her. This causes her to work solo for the most part, however when she finds people who trust her she takes full advantage of the company given to her, both mentally and physically.

History: Sssshhh...

Skills:
  • Non-Combat
    -Sewing (Allows her to make average-looking clothes that have the same protection as most armors, with the ability to add stat boosts. Level up by creating new and unique clothing.)
    -
  • Passive
    -Sprint (Increases speed and Agility, allowing her to run directly up walls, and dodge enemy attacks more easily. Level up by running up walls and dodging attacks.)
    -
  • Combat
    -Battle Healing (Recover HP over time. Level up by hitting red zone with HP multiple times.)
    -
  • Weapon
    -One-Handed Curved Blade Skill
    -

Sword Arts:
  • Fell Crescent - (1-hit strike) A charge-type sword skill that delivers a downward blow and covers a distance of 4 meters in 0.4 seconds. Possible to hit multiple targets (if lined up properly).
  • Bowed Lunge - (3-hit strike) A charge-type sword skill that delivers two crossing slashes followed up by a lunging stab with a small bonus to armor penetration.
  • -

Level: 11

Code: リンクスタート
