I am referring to feints in general. Because no matter what kind of feint it is, the basic principle is the same - some kind of unexpected action that would give you an opening, so if you have someone who's quick to adapt to unexpected moves, the chances of pulling off a feint diminishes (how much it diminishes of course depends on the actual kind of feint). That does not mean that I'm implying that she'll counter any feint that's thrown at her. I'm saying that from a statistical point of view, the chances are swayed more in Yuuki's favour, when compared to the average person. And questionable means that we can have a long conversation about why it may/may not work without any definite conclusion, just like the one we're having right now. That's why it's questionable, not confirmed.

Kirito used 2 swords against Eugene in the tournament Source? Eugene wasn't even mentioned in the events of the tournament in volume 7. The only instance of Kirito using two swords against Eugene that I can recall is their encounter in volume 3, and in that case, Kirito definitely wasn't going in without something at stake.

I don't know why you think I was arguing that Kirito uses feints more than anyone. Because your way of phrasing it implied so. "He might use a feint", "he could use a feint" any other similar way of phrasing it would have been neutral statements, but you phrased it as "uses feints", which implies that you're comparing his usage of feints with something or implying that it's different from the norm. - You're right in that it is uncertain whether a particular feint would work on her.

-Silicia Edition. My bad I was wrong, I remembered it wrong, Kirito planned on using Excalibur on Eugene during the New Years (not necessarily two swords)

- How do you think Kirito and Yuuki compare with each other in pure swordsmanship?
