But isn't ones speed in ALO dependent largely dependent on ones reaction speed and build, among other things?

Speed and reaction time are entirely separate, and there's no "builds" in ALO because there's no level system.

not using magic in a duel that test swordsmanship doesn't mean they held back regarding swordsmanship

Let me rephrase my question then: Asuna didn't use every Sword Skill at her disposal, does that mean she held back?

using a feint could of gave her an advantage

Yuuki was never at a disadvantage, Asuna's statement simply meant that the duel would have been over sooner had Yuuki used an effective feint. She had the advantage for the entire duel, an effective feint would have done nothing but unnecessarily widened the gap.

The use of spell blast, arms blast and bullet deflect, showcases his amazing accuracy and timing

And...? Just because it shows that Kirito is fast and accurate doesn't mean that he's faster and more accurate than others.

could you tell me what she said just before and after that quote you posted?

Just some tech jargon about the connections between the Medicuboid and its user.

One could even say that Yuuki winning battles against Kirito and Asuna or being stronger then either is in no way indicative that she's more skilled​, considering she has the crutch of Mother Rosario

An OSS is just as much a "crutch" (and I use that term very loosely) as, say, a second sword is. What is the difference between Yuuki using Mother's Rosario and your talk about Kirito having a supposed advantage were he to use a second sword?

In the novel both Kirito and Heathcliff hp was taken down from full to nearly 50% by exclusively normal swordplay in their first duel. If I remember right, not a single sword skill even hit their bodies.

Lmao no, they were launching Sword Skills left and right. No Sword Skills landed direct hits, but they were most definitely using Sword Skills the entire time.

Heathcliff never hit Kirito before the ending strike. Kirito held his own against Heathcliff in both duels.

Not getting hit != holding your own, Kayaba had him on the fence for the entirety of their second duel.

Not being able to attack with one sword after another would mean he would either would have to pause in between attacks, giving Eugene the opportunity to counter much earlier or that he would have to attack with one sword only while having two swords, which would be pointless.

There is no evidence to support this, all you have here is speculation that this would have happened. If there were a different counter to Gram's ability, who says that the battle would have ended any differently?

Lizbet implied Kirito was better with twin swords

This is speculation about hearsay, so it is entirely irrelevant. Either way, when did she do such a thing?

Kirito's twin sword skill, in ALO, was referred to as the "Dual Blade skill", so when kirito said he preferred dual blades he could of been referring to just twin sword usage and not the SAO skill.

Dual Blades is the Unique Skill present in SAO, it was not in ALO and is very different than simply using two swords. Either way, this is nothing more than another point of speculation.
