I know what Kido can do. At this point Hikari Maebure can virtually think events into existence (only in a proper Kido-like fashion, of course).

Regardless, the way I view combat in the Bleach 'verse is similar to how RPG games work: a Master Swordsman always should have the tools to combat a Kido Master on equal ground. Just like a seasoned Kido Master can cast a dozen different spells at the same time the Master Swordsman has ungodly reflexes and Godzilla-like strength to make his spiritual sword work against them. Spiritual power and willpower are both crucial at this point as well.
