> Just saying in the AWvsSAO standalone reality that possibility is there

Yes, and even AWvsSAO did not provide any plausible reason as to how it happened. It just told you "It is possible, it happened" and asks you to trust it. That is one of the reasons why AWvsSAO has a very weak story. And again, AWvsSAO is not canon to the main story or the Gameverse canon.

> I highly doubt they would have Matsuoka voice him if the implication was that he was only supposed to be his son

Of course that is not hinted. SAO story is nowhere near that point and AW is not about Graphite Edge. There is no reason to uncover a mystery, if there is... No reason to reveal a mystery.

> It's just the way he kept denying any connection he had with Kirito and making up lame excuses

Uhmm, yes, he did, because obviously, even in the source material, he is somehow related to Kirito. Though, considering the cheapness of AWvsSAO's quality, it wouldn't be surprising that they used Matsuoka, just because they didn't want to pay another VA to appear.
