If i recall correctly, Kirito notices that the boss was about to make a different move then it was doing in the Beta. So none of the beta testers would have been able to know the ability, not even him. But because he was a good player he noticed something was wrong and responded to it. The other players then blamed him and other beta testers for not informing everyone. (the other beta testers were surprised aswell by this ability) Instead he came up with the story of being better then anyone and being called beater to redirect all the hatred from the group towards him (since he doesn't care about it as solo player) so the group could focus on being a group and hating him. u can clearly see all the hatred going around when beta testers were being accused and everyone suspected everyone of being one. I believe he did this to make sure the front line group would become a good group and not a distrusting group ready to backstab eachother.

Might be wrong, but thats how i felt it was played out
