[9.0] "This is a very good match. The fact that they decided to use Suzu's quarrel with the referee is already very interesting, but here I also saw the psychology associated with Natsupoi's road, who before this match could not win confidently without a roll-up."
[5.0] "They did moves mechanically well and fast enough to get reaction in the moment, but when the match was over it felt like they just did a bunch of moves instead of having a competitive tournament match."
[8.0] "When Suzu Suzuki was wrestling in Ice Ribbon, I always thought she had the versatility to perform well in Stardom and it is an amazing thing to bear witness to. Her ability to adapt to her opponent has shined in all of her matches in the promotion so far. Natsupoi was the latest opponent she has had natural chemistry with despite having never faced her before. Suzu's striking power and grit and Natsupoi's speed and technique made for a swell combination. ****"
[8.0] "This might be one of my favorite matches of the Prix so far. I loved the pacing of this match with Suzuki being a total killer early on before Natsupoi gets the comeback started with a big dive to the outside. The trope-y forearm spot was actually good here, and so were the bombs they were throwing after (Natsupoi's German suplex especially). The pinning exchanges were crisp and the finish was fantastic."
[8.0] "Would have so easily been higher if the match was longer. Suzu is just incredible and when Natsupoi's like this I absolutely fucking love her. The crowd is molten throughout this match and it's easy to see why. Great match on a fantastic card."
[9.0] "The match was absolutely fantastic in my opinion. Brutal hits, crowd gasps, smooth as butter transitions and doubt on who would win until the end. Anyone with a brain knows that Suzu will go on a win streak to make up for this 0-3 start, so it obviously doesn't bother me at all. She's generationally good. ****1/4"
[7.0] "Start was too slow and one sided, picked up by the middle when Natsupoi was making her comeback, she played a good underdog and Suzu looked good being the dominant force of the match, moves looked good as did the ending. Having Suzu be 0-3 is questionable..."
[9.0] "Just absolutely loved this match. Suzu continues to be excellent and her continued antagonism to the referee who made the decision for her against MIRAI is good. Poi and Suzu beat the shit outta one another. ****1/4"
[8.0] "I was getting ready to hail this as the match of the night - until Giulia vs SLK happened. However, this was still a very good match. There was a lot of crisp and brutal offense (especially by Suzu, who was in peak form tonight despite losing) - also some very creative moves and counter-moves, such as Suzu avoiding a crossbody by doing the Matrix dodge thing."
[6.0] "Stardom 5STAR Grand Prix 2022 : I wasn't in the first minutes but the things did in the middle and the end were good. Suzu keep being good but it was okay for Poi. The strikes were good and the near falls at the end were good. Good finish too. (***1/4)"
[7.0] "I really liked the match, but the result was shocking to me. I don't think anyone would've expected Suzu, who many thought was going to engage in a big feud with Giulia, to start 0-3 in the Grand Prix. I'm both amazed and kind of saddened, but that doesn't take away from the match."
