It's actually a LOT of fun lol. The thing is, a lot of the "normal opponents" are a lot more complex (with the no HPT categories), and involve more calculating strategies that require you to adapt to the AI more. But the final bosses are essentially a critical mass of "cheat them before they cheat you" - and in a speedrun setting it's incredibly satisfying to get the best of them. I highly recommend trying it out.
