I seem to recall Kira managing to sword-catch the Destiny's ultimate melee weapon using the Strike Freedom at Orb. The timing and coordination of man and mobile suit needed to do something like that must have been quite impressive. If that isn't close-quarters melee skill, I don't know what is.
If he had fired the beam cannon in S-Freedom's torso instead of the rail guns, he would have killed Shinn right there.
Not that I care for Kira as a character or anything, as I think in Destiny he stopped having a personality, but I can't deny he's got it over Shinn on MS piloting skill.
Everything in Seed Destiny points to the fact that on an equal footing, Kira trumps Shinn in piloting skill. Kira managed to hold off both Shinn AND Rey with the Strike Freedom.
