I think we shouldn't forget how Sombra absolutely wrecked the mane six were throughout the 2nd part, emotionally and psychologically. They felt miserable and hopeless pretty much the whole time. I don't know if there's ever been an MLP episode with all six ponies so deeply upset, and that's saying something. _*That's_* why he didn't enslave their minds, he wanted their _*suffering_*. I'd daresay they couldn't win, if Discord didn't give them that badly needed morale boost with his Big Speech.
