An adrenaline pumping cutscene is never really an argument for or against building meter-- like the situation gives her the overdrive meter to do it. Like you've got street fighter characters leading with supers in a lot of cutscenes too, doesn't mean you should discard the idea of meter.

You want conclusive proof against the meter argument you'd want a scene where she's spamming them.

In general I feel like meter is a pure gameplay construct. Some attacks clearly need chargeup/buildup (see: how Dizzy spends a few seconds prepping the doomlaser), but usually I feel like the main reason characters don't just spam supers is that it takes energy to do it and going all-out ASAP is a great way to lose a fight.
