Yuuki was supposed to be more skilfull than Kirito. She has spent way more time in the VR and tbh,the author  wanted her to be remembered for her strength. Dual-weilding Kirito might be able to defeat her,but we cannot say for sure.

Asuna and Kirito are well matched ,really. Asuna wins in speed and presicion while Kirito wins in other aspects.

Xaxa was a tough opponent too,even considering the handicap Kirito had.

Well,Alice is also an equal to Kirito. Kirito lost to her in a duel. Ofc,he was not dual weilding,but that is not very relevant as he had trouble blocking her attacks in the first place.

Eugeo was also a natural with the sword,almost equal to Kirito even with lesser experience.

Kirito almost died while fighting the Highest Minister,even while DualWing.

He is not as OP as people make him out to be.
