Pretty sure there was a version of that without the text floating around somewhere on a previous page... *searches*
Darn, lower resolution, oh well.
That might be one way of putting it. However it should be noted that the dude basically is like her. Again, Saber didn't always use noble methods even if she preferred them. She constantly had to make un-kinghtly decisions as king because she had no other way, just like Kiri. So if what you say is true, Kiritsugu's discontent around Saber (hate is a strong word for this) is actually just, as I was saying, a reflection of his own belief that he isn't good enough and that he failed.
I didn't say anything about Unlimited Codes, just a subtle jab at how poorly programmed the A.I. is.
Correction, the cave would not collapse if Excalibur was used, Shirou was just guessing that, but since she used it and the cave didn't collapse, that proves he was wrong. She didn't use it against him because, like you said, she was holding back, but that's probably the most she can hold back. She still has to show no mercy with her technique and pull no punches, even if she doesn't want to fight him at all. So it evens out since Shriou can't use his NP and Saber is restricting her own.
Also that's a completely moot point, she didn't use Excalibur on Archer in HF Day 10, she defeated him with three powerhouse strikes, that's it. Archer could only block the blows, but not divert their strength because he was stuck on the ground by the mud. So he could only block to avoid fatal blows.

He never sleeps. He never dies.
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.
IDK, I don't think using the argument that ANOTHER giant attack of destruction capable of bringing down the cave is making it less likely that the cave will collapse. Even if they coiide with eachother, the energy being blasted out and colliding would still impact the cave. If the cave can survive that, I think it can survive Excalibur alone, though I suppose it depends on the angle she swings it considering how Excalibur works.
In any case, even if the cave did collapse, Saber can warp anywhere in this form, she could just warp out of there, she's not using it because she doesn't want to win that fight.

Oh BTW Umbra, earlier you reposted that Alter & Vader pic, so I figured I'd repost the other image:

I actually prefer Rin x Saber to Saber x Shirou.

Saber can actually regenerate 8 prana units on her own while consuming 6 units of prana when staying idle, but I wonder how much consumption rises without HG's support. Rin apparently needs Shirou to do things with Saber to help her out, though she was confident I think that she could maintain both Saber and Archer since she wanted Archer to stay.
Saber Alter can actually stay indefinitely due to completely physical body granted by AM (Arturia has flesh and blood body, but the world still recognizes her as being who should not be there, so she needs prana to stay), but like Gilgamesh she would need to stock extra power for excess NP spamming.

Actually, Alter is more complete.
The Grail and The Shadow supports her.
(Which is strange, because Saber doesn't have Divinity.)
Rin + Alter is a painful duo.
Alter Drains even more Mana, but Rin does have the right Mana Supply.
But even if Alter did survive, she would be a different Heroic Spirit (Ehem... Dark Spirit) than Saber if she would be summoned for a 2nd HGW.

1st one: Saved. (New one for me)
2nd one: Past vs Future. (GAR Battle incoming)
3rd one: Why does one look so peaceful when you know something BAD is gonna happen?
