Mikasa is tough but Levi clearly has Titan killing skills that she doesn't. We have never seen her use his beyblade attack.

The only answer I can think of is that when the Ackerman power is activated, it gives the user a screen shot of the current accumulated skill level of the Ackerman clan, but the pathways are cut after that. Then Levi may have raised the bar on the Ackerman clans skill level while Mikasa was growing up. Eren said that the 'awakening' grants them the combat experience of all the previous Ackermans, but not the combat'' skill. '' There's a difference. Basically, it means they have the honed instincts of a veteran combatant but still need to acquire skills and techniques through training and personal battle experience. That's why Levi's a better Titan killer; he's fought them far more than her and has trained for longer. skill comes about via experience's so if it grants them the combat experience of all previous Ackermans than yes it does give combat skill. Perhaps to some extent, but not entirely. Skill comes through repeated training, because your body remembers the motions you make of a technique so well, it becomes reflex; muscle memory. However, the awakening does not give them the memories of previous Ackermans, but a sort instinctive knowledge of 'what might be best' in a situation, so it's still limited. After all, despite Mikasa catching him off guard, Bertolt still overwhelmed her temporarily. It gives Ackermans an advantage, true, plus the enhanced physical strength, but if they truly got all the combat skills and muscle memory of everybody before them, for example, Mikasa should've been the top at hand-to-hand combat in the 104th instead of Eren and Annie, or as ErenZeke2020 mentioned, there should've been little to no difference between Mikasa's and Levi's level of skill, and yet, there is.
