The Kirito dueling Yuuki doesn't have the same stats he had when he first entered Alfheim, in fact I have severe doubts his stats are even close to where they were when Kirito was at his godmode heights.

And I think that the point you're forgetting is that this is ALO, not SAO. Unlike SAO, stats in ALO don't really give you much, since the focus of the game is "player skill".

Yuuki on the other hand, has lived in Alfheim for however long. It's a completely one-sided comparison for that alone.

Is 2 weeks really that long? Yuuki had been converting from game to game until she came to ALO around the time Calibur took place.
