Besides me feeling like there's some sort of typo here, there are problems with saying Yuji's "confident he'll defeat the guy"
First he's saying he won't be able to defeat the guy in the open, resorting to attempting to get inside a building, and besides CQC, Yuji would only be capable of trying to get traps or something alike to be able to do anything (i'll speak more about it in a bit) and there's also the fact that he's acting confident just because he's determined to not die to compensate what he consider was his doing.
I don't see anywhere that I'm saying Yuji would defeat Yuta. Read my comment again. Yuji was confident because Yuta didn't have any good CQC skills. All he was doing was using his high CE output with his katana to kill Yuji, which was dangerous since Yuji was weaker than Yuta.
Again, I think you should learn to differentiate between skill and power. Don't come here saying that just because Yuta is stronger, he should be skilled.
Wanna know another time where there was someone who outskilled Yuji (likely out-stats'ed too) and he resorted to getting to an enclosed space to try strategizing?
When he fought Choso. Oh and in that time he was also very confident he wouldn't lose, once again "just because i can't! i gotta do x"
and he lost too
Choso is literally a good H2H combatant. With his other BM techniques, he is one of the best CQC-skilled fighters in the verse. Bringing up Yuji vs. Choso to back up Yuta's skills isn't helping your argument at all.
Not only his attempt to bring the fella to an enclosed space talks about how he's feeling the guy's super skilled, but there's also the flashback to his talk to Todo literally saying that it's difficult antecipating the moves, and that was not even the worst part. Hell, he even tried resorting to another tremendously unusual strategy, reinforcing a knife with CE, that worked up until certain point because Yuji's not unskilled, but again: if the guy's just out-stat'ing and is not outskill'ing why would he resort to such unusual stuff?
Yuji literally says Yuta's moves are not hard to read, but his output is high compared to his, so any hit would kill him. That has nothing to do with skill, so you spamming a big paragraph isn't proving anything.
Also, Yuji was trying to ditch Yuta by taking him inside the building because Yuta's speed was comparable to his, and he couldn't outrun him in the open. He still skillfully dodges many of Yuta's attacks and even breaks his sword. You can't really be calling Yuta skilled with this irrelevant stuff.
How would that be talking about stats when Jogo never touched Sukuna? It most likely was about his skill to simply not die for a great while and be able to entertain him and it starts to be a stretching when try to say it's about other things
You don't need to touch others to know how strong they are in the verse. You can measure others by their CE output. If you read the manga, you would know this basic thing.
Also, you're literally proving my point. If Jogo was really skilled, he would have landed a hit, but he didn't. What he had was firepower, not skill like you're making it up to be.
to say that Gojo believed they could "reach him statswise and the statement doesn't talk about skill" is not only kinda ignoring scaling chains (and saying Yuta immediately kills Mahito unless for some reason you mean to say Gojo doesn't IKs Mahito, which is even wilder), but also is taking Gojo a tad bit out of character since he talks A LOT about making next generation better, not just stronger. Gojo is definetely talking about skill and strength
You are proving nothing with this paragraph.

Yuta himself admits Gojo is him because he is who he is, not because he has a good technique, when he takes over Gojo's body. Even with Gojo's memories Yuta was getting his shit rocked by Sukuna while same Sukuna was getting cooked by Yuji. You are glazing Yuta with nothing to back up your statements, just assumptions with zero proof.
I'm not saying Yuta doesn't have skill but comparing his skills to Yuji is not canon. Atleast he is nowhere near Yuji without his copied techniques.
Anyway Mahito was able to land hits on Yuji while Yuta couldn't that's alone shows either you consider better skill or abilities they got. Mahito has more chances of touching Yuta clearly and using his CT than Yuta touching Mahito and using RCT.
