I mean, he doesn't Immediately throw them, but if Kirito's just waits for Ethan to be in just the right spot and out of Super Signal, then he'll nail him for sure. He is pretty crafty just like his compatriates.

Mid Regen is still pretty tough to bypass with brute Force, especially considering Kirito is far from a sitting duck and could easily take the time it needs to pull a skill at the right time and mop the floor with Ethan.

I think there are blade beam attacks in SAO:TTRPG but no one uses them because compared to the other stuff they're kinda the bicc succ

Not to mention, I've never brought this up because I thought it didn't mean much, but Kirito actually has a massive range edge at the start of the fight. SBA says it's as far as the absolute maximum range of one of the characters, IE, if Kirito was to have a skill that crosses Kilometers of land easily (Sonic Leap) and Ethan could only hit a few meters, they'd be standing the max SBA distance of 4 KM away, and Kirito could easily blast in for a free hit.

Doesn't effect much unless that's a really clean first hit that deals a fatal blow (note: even comparable fighters can kill each other in one stroke with a sharp weapon and a strike to the head or heart), by which case that's another edge in his favor.
