Dargoo Faust's [REDACTED] Edges: The Final Boss

Abilities/Weapons: Segregated by type. Powers are seperated into subcategories.

I) Sword: Excalibur has always been a powerful and legendary sword, and Sword Art Online is no exception. It easily outclasses your average cutlass any day of the week, and can do some serious damage should the sword land any good hits. However, in a case of quantity over quality, Sayaka is going to take this edge due to the sheer amount of angles and hits she'll be able to land with the 'infinite sword summoning' ability of hers. Plus the cutlass isn't such a bad weapon to begin with, and it can be a decently versitile weapon at times. [Winner- Sayaka Miki] 

II) Powers - Defensive: Due to the extremely different physics and logistics that both of these anime thrive in, this is probably the hardest factor to effectively calculate and figure out. In spite of this, both fighters share many defensive abilities, from pain immunity to healing. Also, while Kirito takes in hits similar to an avatar in an MMO, he is within a virtual reality machine that allows for intense pain to be calculated and, as stated before, concussions/headaches. This is in contrast to Miki's abilities, which seem to have taken in from the Legend of Zelda school of single, colored weak spots. However, considering that her gem is partially covered for the majority of the time, it may take a bit before Kirito can actually land some hits (But come on people, he's inside a video game, where monsters with large weak spots are a go-to, so it won't take ages). This effectively gives Miki a window is invincibility, which snags her s light edge in this factor, especially when you consider that she still has a more effective healing power. [Winner- Sayaka Miki]

III) Powers - Offensive: Sayaka's sword summoning abilities as well as her enhanced physicality allows for a much more enhanced offensive approach in this battle. While Kirito's powers within the game greatly enhance his attacks, that's all they do: enhance them. Miki's abilities, on the other hand, give her more ways of attacking her foe, making the offensive aspect of her powers all the more greater. [Winner- Sayaka Miki]

IV) Powers - Agility: Yes, her magic girl powers enhance her agility tenfold, and she can jump pretty damn high, but that doesn't put her agility enhancements over Kirito's. Flight is a pretty good advantage to have in this battle, and his speed is something to definitely be reckoned with. While the setting would be o-so nice to know (as if this was an open-field setting I would have given a much more larger edge in this category), but all things considered I'm still giving Kirito a slight edge here. [Winner- Kirito]

V) Powers - Transformations/Summons: As it has been said over and over again, the sheer fact that Oktavia is a summon rather than a transformation is a major edge on her part. I don't feel I can really add much to the argument rather than that Oktavia has a greater range in her attacks, and has a wider variety of them to hit Kirito with. [Winner - Sayaka Miki]

X- Factors: Hurray, I finally don't have to shortly state averages. Some of the X-Factor are a bit poorly defined (especially experience), but from what I've read it seems to me that Sayaka takes the cake in every category, majoring in her brutality. [Winner- Sayaka Miki]

OVERALL WINNER - SAYAKA MIKI: Yes, I'm going to side with everyone else when it comes to this battle. While I do believe that Kirito is going to put up an honest fight, he's going to have to be on his highest wits and reflexes in order to be able to do any damage to Miki. I see an easy win for Sayaka.
