You're assuming Tier 1 Super Moves are more powerful than they are. If I were to judge that fight, I would assign, at most, 3 damage per Super Move. Meaning you'd still have 14 damage left before death.
From my own point of view, Super Moves and Transformations are equally useful and powerful. While Transformations (and stats), are mainly there for roleplay purposes, a judge could and should take into account that someone used one during the judging process.
Basically, Super Moves provide immediate results, whereas Transformations provide long term benefits.
You have to remember that this site is extremely free form in execution. Aside from buying things with OM, and how Super Moves work, almost everything else is left up to your imagination and interpretation.
A good example of how useful a Powered-Up Form can be is my fight against the Rathian during the Rathalos event. When I transformed, I was able to better match the beast in regards to stats. Before then, it was obviously more than a match for any one of the combatants.
So, in order to spam Super Moves to win you'd need to both have, if I were to judge, at least 14 SP and be fighting an opponent with absolutely no Defensive Super Moves. Granted, using Super Moves in succession will weaken your foe and give you a better chance to win, but it's by no means guaranteed.
In fact, even damage is relatively moot in regards to most fights. You completely heal damage between fights, unless they occur in relatively quick iterations.
TL;DR: Both Super Moves and Transformations are primarily in place to HELP you roleplay. Same for everything else on the site. How you use them is up to you.
