Yes, Yukino is so cool and calm under pressure that she gambled herself into slavery (that Kagura just didn't choose to call in) and later runs off to cry in a corner during the GMG...

Then there's also Urano Metria and Lucy's proficiency with her whip.

And the fact that all this filler material comes from the anime team, rather than Hiro Mashima himself... the same team that thought it was a good idea to make this clown/dolphin combo into the strongest mage of the Fiore forces among other nonsense decisions...

Don't get me wrong, Yukino is a cool and strong character, but she's nowhere near as perfect as your post makes her out to be. Lucy has proofen herself time and again, while Yukino so far failed in everything she ever tried, except for getting into Sabertooth and closing the Eclipse Gate together with Lucy. Even when she surprised Virgo with her martial arts, she ultimately lost and Virgo just didn't finish her off because Levy happened to find what Virgo was looking for at that very moment.
