Kahuna's not familiar with Howling Octave and Savage Fulcrum since this is only Floor 5 Kahuna, and those Sword Skills aren't unlocked yet for anyone at that point. He also wouldn't be that familiar with Kirito using Horizontal Square since Kahuna's version of Kirito didn't use that Sword Skill much at this time iirc.

Also keep in mind that Incarnation also boosts the effectiveness, range, power, and speed of Sword Skills (perfect example being Vorpal Strike's insane range boost and Starburst Stream's added 17th hit).

Also Spinning Shield won't be an automatic go-to for Kirito anyways.
