And you said that he could do that, but never proved that he was capable; as I said, you can tell me all the different things that are possible to do with two swords but that doesn't mean he is able to do such things. And no, he did not show that he was skilled with two swords against Kayaba, he showed that he was skilled with Sword Skills. Their entire first duel was Sword Skill after Sword Skill, something that Kirito is not capable of doing in ALO. It does show who's the stronger player. Equipment is part of a player's strength. Wearing stronger equipment makes him a stronger player. This may not make him a more skilled player, but it does increase his strength. You asking proof for kirito being able to use such simple actions is like asking for proof Yuuki can slash with her sword in any open environment in ALO that doesn't hinder that action. While it's true Yuuki has slashed her sword in every environment, it would be ridiculous to assume she couldn't in that scenario. What's so difficult for kirito about blocking with one sword then attacking with another or attacking with one sword after another or blocking with both swords? As for examples: Kirito use one sword to block and another to attack against Eugene. If I remember correctly he used both swords attack against Eugene. He used both swords to block against Heathcliff. Kirito didn't just use sword skills against Heathcliff, he used normal twin blade swordplay as well.
