SAO Abridged Blacksmithing

SWE's take on Blacksmithing in Sword Art Online

[numbers]

"crafting system causes seizures"

yet another complaint people had about the game in episode 11 xD

[DroptheBass]

The best thing SAO Abridged did was make SAO actually feel like a game

[brianbrush]

For years, I assumed that it was Just Lisbeths exaggerated POV. I recently realized that this is her doing a Minigame. lol

[QruisS]

So crafting in SAO involves playing a rythm game, space invaders and an over the top fighting game at the same time? Damn that's intensive.

[bismuth]

Not only was this scene hilariously over-the-top and awesome, it also did a great job of showing how OP Lisbeth is as a blacksmith.

[bleachbleachBLEACHER]

When you realize that Tiffany likely had to do something similar to this when appraising Guilty Thorn and while he was in his mini-game, didn't even hear Kirito make the crack: "Wow, I can see you've really mastered your craft."

[naikosei]

I always wondered why someone trapped in this world would get a standard ass day job like a blacksmith. Now I know. And I absolutely endorse it.

[baryonyxyt]

I can't believe it's taken me 7 years to realize that the announcer at the end is saying "metallurgy" and not "fatality". That's brilliant. I love that.

[Aku]

I love how at the end she’s just “aaand we’re done.” No need for praise or anything, she already knows how good she is. And Kirito, as big a gaming nerd he is, KNOWS what she just had to do to make it happen. Why else isn’t he throwing sass at her while she’s working?

[ride-playerbb]

I'm convinced Kayaba made this minigame during his sleep deprived state, which is why it's a weird mishmash of different games. And if that's the case, it just makes this scene way more amazing

[TheBeastr]

As the customer watching this blacksmithing crafting system would be so boring just standing there while they play a mini-game lol

[endorsith]

0:25 That one Awesome is why his sword broke against the shield in his final battle.

[octo-generaljones]

If this was actually a scene from the anime, there would be a lot less hate towards SAO

[Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Now there's actual credence behind Lisbeth's claims of "The best blacksmith in the game". In the original, it it seemed kinda baseless if everyone could blacksmith, there isn't anything to distinguish one person's smithing from another person's. Now we know it's because she's the most seizure-proof.

[MikeJones-qngz]

Mad respect to the people who decided to become blacksmiths in this world, like they chose to make this their job.

[hshackleton]

The computer shouting "Metallurgy!" When finished is such an underrated joke that I kept missing until my last rewatch with the subtitles

[feykro]

The song is from Guilty Gear Xrd. It's called Big Blast Sonic

[christianpesantez]

"Flawless Victory" won with a sliver of health left

[bluenitethewarrior]

She played 3 mini games at the same time to do that. She's literally hiding how good of a player she is in the game lmak

[TheAwesomeDarkNinja]

SAO Abridged is literally turning SAO into one of the greatest comedy anime.
