Um, what? That description would suit the Saber vs Lancer fight early on in the first season, but definitely not Kiritsugu vs Kirei. Those two didn't exchange a single word during their duel. Everything that was heard in that fight were internal monologues about their respective strategies.
That's part of the reason why it was so good. There was no need to exchange words, because the entire show had been building up to their confrontation already, and, even with them having never met each other before, they knew they were each other's greatest foes. Words were unnecessary between them.
