The story of "Sword Art Online Valiant Showdown

Have you ever heard of "Cross Edge"?

The name of the game had reached Kirito's ears.
Many players were paying attention to it, partly because of the buzz that a genius junior high school student had designed it.

One day, while visiting Daisey Cafe, Kirito learned of a rumor about
《Cross Edge》.

If he is defeated by an unknown player who suddenly appears, he will lose part of his memory.
He also learns that his opponent is said to be wearing a hooded figure. ......

Kirito recalls the PK guild "Ruffin Coffin" that he once faced.
Kirito and his teammates begin to play "Cross Edge" to investigate, but they are ambushed by someone.
