All right, because I'm getting real tired of this (and arguing with Kirito fanboys in general), let's say, for the sake of argument, that Kirito can do just fine with two swords sans Sword Skills. That still doesn't make him better than Yuuki. He didn't use two swords against her because it would have provided no real advantage, he went all-out against her, and he still lost twice. When asked if Kirito would beat Yuuki if he fought with two swords, Kawahara responded that "if the second one was Excalibur, he would probably win because of the specs." That, by no means, proves that Kirito is the better fighter, just that he has better gear.

Oh, and btw, your "if Heathcliff were level 60" question is moot because there is no level system in ALO beyond that for skills.
