According to V3 reflexes affect speed

Okay, so reaction speed and FullDive experience influence a player's speed in the game. Good thing Yuuki has faster reflexes and more FullDive experience than Kirito.

No, because Asuna may have decided that all those other sword skills may have not been that effective against Yuuki, if she used them.

"No, because (Yuuki) may have decided that (feints) may have not been that effective against (Asuna), if she used them." Do you see the problem here?

Even if Yuuki had the advantage, if she held back, she still could of lost

Even if Yuuki had the advantage and didn't hold back there's the chance of her losing. What's your point?

it's a feat she can't replicate

Where is this idea that Yuuki can't perform Spell Blast coming from? She never tried it so to say that she is incapable of doing it is fallacious. For the sake of argument, however, let's say that Yuuki can't perform Spell Blast. All it takes is a well-timed Sword Skill, so how is it any different than, say, Yuuki using Mother's Rosario. Besides, what does Spell Blast have to do with swordsmanship?

Yuuki's usage of Mother Rosario is low skill, low risk, high return. Kirito's twin swords take more skill

It's no more low-risk than any other Sword Skill. Besides, Kirito using two swords is, according to you, low risk and high return so what's the difference?

They were both stopping each other's strikes from doing damage

Kirito didn't stop anything, all he did was dodge the few attempted stabs from Heathcliff while swinging away wildly to no avail. I'd hardly call that "holding his own".

Can you give example of what other method your talking about

What if, for example, Gram couldn't phase through thicker weapons like axes? All Kirito would need to do would be to defend with the widest part of the axe to prevent the phase-through and then attack.

Lizbet said

I repeat: that is speculation about hearsay and is, therefore, irrelevant. Also, because this is the second time you've done it, her name is Lisbeth, not Lizbet.

kirito usage of twin swords in ALO was also referred to as Dual Blade skill

A mistranslation by the fan translator. Dual Blades, the Unique Skill, is written as 二刀流 while the sentence in question uses the term 二刀を. Two different terms, meaning that the sentence you quoted mistranslated the line and thus your theory is incorrect.
