For the one thousandth time:
 * 1) There is no reason to believe he was going easy in their fight. When remarking about his first duel, he said he began to take it seriously midway (this remark is mistranslated by various translators for some reason, but he says 途中から, not 途中まで). So yes, he wasn't all that serious... during the START of their duel, but then apparently got his game on. Your personal (and biased) opinion doesn't mean it's a fact, so please refrain from using phrases like "as we know" as if your opinion is a fact.
 * 2) Using skills with two swords is a dangerous risk. I don't remember the exact numbers, but pulling off combos isn't guaranteed - you are quite likely to fail the combo and end up stunned for several seconds, leaving you entirely vulnerable. Enough to get yourself killed. Also, while it may be effective against monsters which stand still while being attacked with a Sword Skill, the same doesn't apply to players. In reality, people usually use low-combo and thus low-stun skills that don't put you dead open for a counter-attack against players. TL;DR Skill Connect is a tactic like any other - with advantages and downsides - not something that gives you a free strength pill.
 * 3) Where on earth did he even get an Elucidator in ALO!?!?!?
 * 4) Yuuki was surprised not because of the speed but because nobody had ever done such a stunt before. It requires more planning (or heavy luck) than speed, as you have to use an auto-executed skill to hit a precise part of a projectile before it hits you. This proves that he's crafty, but not necessarily faster than Yuuki.
 * 5) Stop comparing apples to oranges - if you're throwing people into a life-or-death situation, don't assume that the difference will be unilateral (also, no proof on your claim that he'd be faster than her anyway). Either compare both in a regular duel, or both with something at stake. Otherwise, your point is moot.
 * 6) 16 hit combo? What?

I could comment on the other stuff too, but I don't want to return to this circular argument again. I'm just getting tired of people repeating inherently flawed arguments.
