External: This approach is the most effective as it allows Aiden to safely tear down SAO without ever having to leave the real world. He has many options such as hacking into databases and even using some of the various people around him as allies that can be convinced to join him in his crusade. The threats he'll face in the external approach are also much smaller considering Japan has a small and lightly-equipped police force plus Tokyo has plenty of eletronics in the vicinity to use to his advantage in case he ever needs to make a quick escape. The Yakuza may present more of an issue, but as stated Aiden's stealth and enviormental dominance allows him to control the battlefield. Kayaba can't even touch Aiden in the External Approach minus two 'allies' who can be turned against him or even bypassed his Aiden's hacking abilities and the original intention of the other. Aiden can easily take down Kayaba with the many options and allies that present themselves in this scenario. MASSIVE EDGE: Aiden Pearce

Internal: Aiden will run into more problems if he uses this approach as his hacking abilities will become more limited and he'll be on Kayaba's turf. Aiden although does have an advantage at his disposal as he can give himself some extra bonuses by hacking into the game before entering. His combat experience, training, strength and intelligence still translate into the virtual world and allow him to play his game of Cat-And-Mouse with Kayaba. Kayaba still has advantages such as starting with complete dominance and there are more things to keep Aiden busy such as the guilds and CARDNIAL gains a boost in effectiveness. That being said it is possible for Aiden to gain some allies such as Kirito, Asuna and Yui. With Yui in particular being useful as she can assist him in bypassing firewalls and tearing down CARDINAL and Kayaba's powers from the inside. EDGE: Aiden Pearce

Deadliest Warrior: Aiden Pearce- The vigilante wins this one due to his superior x-factors that allow him to have complete dominance in the external route. The eternal route is his best bet as he can use his hacking prowess as its peak and have a variety of options present to allow him to defeat Kayaba without ever having to step foot into the virtual world. Kayaba can't take control of all the possible factors that Aiden has as his disposal and he'll be almost powerless to stop Aiden in the external approach. One of his allies may even be convinced to allow Aiden to kill Kayaba or even shut down the game when he reaches or discovers Kayaba's location. Aiden won't struggle with the all of the various as long as he remains with the external approach and even with the internal he still has a chance as long as he plays it smart. Kayaba just has too much on his plate it'll come back to be his undoing.
