Honestly, although you may be right regarding how weak the non-Hypno-Disc battles are, I would argue that the episode was actually a blessing in disguise. Really, there was no point putting in potential big guns like Dominator 2 and Tornado in this heat, because essentially this episode was sold to the audience under the guise of "Hypno-Disc destroys all". No point in wasting a promising newcomer where anything they do will be overshadowed by the second seed. Also, by splitting them away from the large shadow of Hypno-Disc, it enabled some of these newcomers to become stars themselves, such as the aforementioned Dominator 2 and Tornado.

Therefore, Series 4 Heat P is not fantastic, but it was a necessary evil since it (or any heat staring the spinner) would become "The Hypno-Disc show". And that is all the majority of the casual audience will remember, and rightly so!
