  Because the game depends on actual skill, a second sword isn't so easy to use. Sure, it looks cool on the big screen, but how many traditional swordplays include using two bigass sword at the same time?
  
  Edit: Awww, GGO was the best arc too.

  Believe it or not, the game does require actual skill to dual wield, as in real skills or experience, which Kirito has over a year worth from SAO. But again, the anime refuses to mention something incredibly important, and it's that anyone in ALO can dual wield, but they simply choose not too because they all suck so bad at it that it would lower their DPS/DPM rather than increase it, so you won't see anyone attempt to.
  
  It was already mentioned that athletes are superior or gain an advantage in the game because of their experience over people who don't do shit. So basically, Suguha can use her kendo swordsmanship in the game.

  I know that. Kirito just has past experience with fighting for his life using dual weilding for around a year.(probably a little under a year through)
  Also Kirito's style isn't "traditionnal" It's self-taught along having the Sword Skill System helping him learn a few possible move back in SAO. Through in ALO, he only has his memory of how the sword skills were like to help him use the swords.

  I think I remember reading in the novel the explanation why people didn't dual weild much in ALO. Suguha had said something about the difficulity of weilding two swords so most people only went for one sword as it was easier to handle attacking and defending.

  I was arguing about why no everyone could do it, not for Kirito, but this explains it.

  in ALO, I would probably go Staff/Sword Dual Weild.
  
  Also I very much like the idea of Full Dive virtual world.. it let you do things that are risky in RL.. for example training in parkour and such.. even if there is some degree of sense of pain, the fear of getting "damage" to your body is completly nulified. So you can train as much as you want, fail as much as needed and quickly become good with no risk. All that would remain would be to physically train your body in the RL to match up the experience you learned ingame.

  What, if anything hes the only one that is
  
  Everyone else wasn't in SAO, so they don't know the death penalty of dying in game. In ALO it doesn't matter if you die, you just respawn in your hometown. Why does that matter? you can fly. Yet theres a big race to get to the tower and fly permanently. Who cares if someone makes it to the top? Just make a new character with the race that got there first.

  From what I understand in the story that isn't exactly correct. Let say the Salamanders got to the top. All current Salamander acounts will be reborn into that White wing Race that has infinite fly.
  New people who choose Salamander will not be able to turn into that white wing race..
  
  Also
  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]
  That promise to have people be reborn as the white wing race is a lie. The game is made so that it's impossible to actually go higher inside the tree...
