Shirou's physical and magical training seriously paid off. He was able to do a better Reinforce spell against Shinji, and he was able to endure Shinji's magical attacks. He totally wasted him! And Shinji was such a wuss!
And another awesome thing is he finally summoned Saber in order to battle of Rider who pretty much injured Shirou quite a bit. Rider certainly has her ellegance in her fighting style, but Saber was obviously stronger. Though Rider's Noble of Phantasm attack was surprisingly very gory; it involved stabbing herself on the neck in which her blood covered the entire area. Her ultimate attack certainly makes up for her weak physical attack strength.
And then finally, Shirou admits to Saber that's he's an idiot, and he's willing fight along side with her.

It does focus more on character interactions in relation to the creepy mysteries and atmosphere. The payoff is good especially if you like Shiki and Arcueid and a few other characters. It's just that there's SO much more in the Tsukihime universe than what the anime portrayed it as (and not to mention lots more plots and lots more characters).
...even though Rider is weaker in offense than Saber, the battleground brought Saber into a very disadvantage point. That point is the rooftop. Even worse, Rider summoned her white winged horse (which I'm guessing it's Pegasus) of which she just flew around and striking Saber at her blind spots. And then once Shirou makes it to the rooftop, Shinji taunts the both of them and ordered Rider to destroy Saber immediately. Rider then unleashed her Nobel Phantasm called Bellerophon. Saber then decided to counter it with own which involved revealing her sword. And behold, the sword is Excaliber which I believe it's proof enough that Saber's True Name is King Arthur. Saber was indeed the victor; Rider is gone, and Shinji's command spells are destroyed.
