It's hardly the first time I've seen Alicesoft do that. I have a writeup on Kichikuou Rance's combat math on my blog that shows they run all the turn's combat math before checking if the attacker even uses those formulae in the first place. And that was 1996!

You could run a 30% check at the start of the function to skip the rest, but the gain would be small.
