Episode Battle "Win Quickly" conditions post patch

I've been running back through the Episode Battles to clear out the Zen-Oh's orders and just for fun to see how it feels since I'm so much better at the game now than last time I played through it. And HOLY SHIT, some of these conditions feel almost impossible now. I'm pretty good at the game now (can hold my own easily in S rank on Ranked, comfortable with all the mechanics, etc.). Specifically for people wanting to try, pretty much all of Piccolo's are really tough now.

I've already cleared out all of the conditions pre-patch but feel really bad for people now if it's like this for everyone. Before the patch you could pretty reliably just charge into sparking and go for ults to clear them, but now it doesn't seem to work as well. The CPU is now much more aggressive with defensive options like super counters and revenge counters that prevent you from pumping out damage quickly. The CPU is also is just much better at the game in general.

Anyone else messed around with this? Any tips for anyone trying to clear out these conditions now? What are the most effective tactics you've found post-patch to blast through them quickly and meet these conditions?

Hopefully this gets reworked in the next patch to be a more enjoyable experience. The hidden timer imo was a terrible idea for almost every instance of this. Would've loved to see the conditions be more akin to the one you had where you needed to reflect Jeice's super in Goku's story on Namek.
