Didn't he mentor her on sword skills? I read in the novels that he taugh a lot about swordsman ship. I don't recall this. Where in the novel?

In the light novel he lost to that 11 combo technique aka "Mother Rosario". Was it ever said she used it against him? In their first duel she didn't, that's for sure, but I don't think it was mentioned she used it against him in the tournament. (Edit: Ah, so she did.)

I believe if she didn't have a technique like that she would lose. Ok, NOW you're just trying to make excuses for Kirito. I don't know why though. Mother's Rosario was a skill she created-- and to create it, she had to be able to perform it herself. Using this logic, Kirito wouldn't be able to beat Klein or Asuna, if he didn't have Dual Wielding. It's a silly argument.
