No, it very specifically came up as a clause in the First Strike window after Kirito clicked it.
The three modes are:
Normal
Time-limit
and First strike which also specifies that you need to hit the oponent with a powerful initial attack or deplete the HP by half.

I think it means you need to make solid clean hit to count as first strike. Just like in some contact sports, grazes and near misses won't count. As for the half HP it catters to what RPGs are DOT (damage over time) attacks or fighting games where special attacks chip your health even if blocked this won't count as First Strike either but help reduce HP.
