3. My point was Asuna like kirito doesn't use feint often, but she still decided to use feints against Yuuki. That's not right, I'm saying it's likely Kirito would use feints against Kirito because he'll probably come to the same conclusion Asuna, that their effective against Yuuki. Also because he can feint.

Again, be clear what you're trying to say. I'm not a mind reader. Everything that's not put down in words could be missed by people reading your post.

And we've seen a lot of Asuna's battles to be able to accurately deem whether or not she uses feints often?

Anyway, it's true that Asuna used a feint there. But does that mean that she'd use one again in the next battle? The odds of Kirito using a feint are low if he has only used one once. That doesn't mean that there's no way that he wouldn't use a feint, but it's too case specific to be reliable for an argument. And as your Asuna example showed, Yuuki is quick to recover from a feint. What makes you think that Kirito doing feint will give him enough of an opening if Asuna, who's faster, couldn't even land a single hit using hers?

5. Asuna opinion on Kirito was accurate considering he was the best player in both SAO and ALO for a time.

It wasn't stupid, Kirito wasn't in this alone, he had teammates. Asuna would come to his aid if he needed help. The differences between Heathcliff and Yuuki is relevant. Heathcliff was a unique example, Yuuki likely can't cause that same situation.

Source for the "best player" part? As far as I recall, the top ALO players are practically on the same level. And as for SAO, he was only the player with the fastest reaction time. That doesn't necessarily mean that he's the best in other aspects.

And how does that change the fact that Asuna is biased? If she has an ideal image of him, do you think that she'll notice his mistakes?

But had he thought that far before charging in? As far as I remember, he did it nearly subconsciously. That would still be enough to serve as an example of him giving way to his emotions when he's pressured. And Asuna won't be able to rescue him if he makes a mistake like that in a one-on-one battle.

Yuuki's battle with Kirito in the tournament lasted over 10 minutes. Isn't that proof enough that Yuuki is quite the handful? She doesn't need to be an immovable fortress like Heathcliff if she's fast enough to parry most of his attacks and counterattack.
