True, now the feint usage count is at 2. But Yuuki's feint counter is at 2 too. If you don't think that two instances of Yuuki countering a feint is enough to consider the usefulness of feints against her questionable, then I don't see any reason to assume that Kirito will use a feint during their duel just because he was seen using them in two cases. He might use a feint, or he might not use a feint. Just as how Yuuki might counter the feint, or she might not counter the feint. Without more data, both claims can be brushed off as being too situational to be considered as strong enough arguments, so I don't see the point in continuing this talk.

Even if I'm perhaps am wrong about Kirito doing better under pressure,  like liz said " ... "Probably, in a normal game, Kirito won't fight seriously anymore. Kirito only fights seriously when the game isn't a game anymore..." Kirito would likely do better in conditions where he would be serious.

All it proves, at best, is that he isn't being serious in daily life. It does not prove that Kirito wasn't serious in his battle with Yuuki, since it's only a guess. And the only time Kirito would be serious, according to Lisbeth, would be when the game is no longer a game. And there's no data on how Yuuki would fare in such a situation, so it's all speculation territory.

5. Are you saying the fan translation is wrong?

Well, I'm not that big of an authority on the matter to claim anything for certain, but the Daisuki subs seem to agree with my interpretation of that phrase. And the fan translation does sometimes have errors. It wouldn't be the first one I found. That's why I always check the original text before making any conclusions.
