also don't forget Kira is the/a Ultimate Coordinator
NOT the ultimate pilot, those are 2 seperate things
not every coordinator is a good pilot, you need to practice/train to become one
which obviously is easier for coordinators then for naturals (damn them, i'll never be a great MS pilot myself then T_T [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img])

so basically with Kira being the Ultimate Coordinator doesn't mean there can't be a better pilot then him
since being a great pilot isn't all about skill

edit: i'll probably get jumped for making this post though <_<
