Result: Storm puts Shirai away with the Storm Zero to win the tournament (10:20).

Rating: You could really feel the hunger in this one, and both competitors delivered even with the disappointingly brief time allotted to them. It's absurd that Storm's at this level at just 23 years of age, and though Shirai's obviously no slouch either, she didn't really need the win, so this was the right way to go.

It certainly deserved another five-or-so minutes to really hit its stride, but there was zero fat on the ten minutes given, and evoking the slobberknocker feel in such a short span of time sure isn't easy. Just shy of greatness, but very, very good. 7/10
