Well, we can't make any conclusion on how Yuuki would do against a serious SAO Kirito. That dwells into speculative territory that would just go in circles. However, Kirito and Reki's own assessments indicate that she could've gained Dual Blades faster than Kirito in SAO since her reaction speed is higher than his own. As for Asuna and Kirito's duel in Progressors, that is also up in the air. They both went at each other for a half an hour and neither was gaining any ground until Kirito used a Outside Skill as a feint to throw her off-balance and disarm her. So, that indicates that they are mostly equal to one another.
