In the case of Shinichiro Matsuoka, the change in canon is relatively small, namely the exact circumstances behind Kayaba Akihiko's death. In the story, Matsuoka's attempt to kill Kayaba sort-of succeeds, specifically in SAO: FTO, I intend to have Matsuoka discover Akihiko's location after hacking a police server stating that a cabin in the mountains, which escaped notice until just then, is to be raided in one week's time. Matsuoka arrives first and discovers Akihiko unconcious, logged into his own game. Instead of shooting Akihiko, he strikes the Nerve Gear attached to Akihiko's head with the rifle butt, activating the microwave in the device at the same time Kirito strikes the final attack in real life, leaving it ambiguous over who really scored the final kill.

I mean, sure its stretching canon, but SAO says almost nothing about what happened outside, and nothing to my knowledge of what happened at Kayaba's IRL location.
