Unless Shiro's in the general vicinity, Sora won't be able to function properly (well, he would still function. He'd just not be at his peak).
Ignoring that though, stiiiiill probably a stomp for Sora if they're both using the Augma and playing Ordinal Scale, considering Sora's an extreme genius.
Sora's weakness is that he doesn't function well without Shiro and that he's a slouch when it comes to the physical stuff. He'd probably lose given Kirito's actual skills in kendo but if he can figure him out, he might just win it given his genius-tier intelligence.
But that's forgetting context. It was a shooting game and the one mostly matching and surpassing Izuna was Shiro, in firing skill that is. They also won by abusing set up and conniving, but even that needed Shiro to take her time and make a lenghty calculation.
A better feat would be Shiro and Sora going 4 on 1000 if I remember the numbers right in that opening scene, but without knowing the game is hard to say.
But if we ignore Sora not functioning without Shiro, 5 hours of prep is a big deal and makes it hard to decide.
I'll be assuming this is in Ordinal Scale and not real life (well it technically is real life, but with augmented reality).
With 5 hrs of prep Sora would have definitely memorized the ins and outs of Ordinal Scale and the map, and would likely use a ranged weapon (like a pistol or something at least. Whatever he can get at his rank in the game to at least become 9-C in-game to match Kirito's AP) and abuse positioning and Kirito's melee-only playstyle to his advantage.
What Sora may not anticipate however is just how good Kirito is with blocking bullets and closing gaps (Though speed is equalized here so eeeh).
Still not sure how this will go. I need more input before I make a vote.
