Gain Ground, But I Can Only Use Female Characters

"I only have female characters. Please don't ask why." -Arial, having unedited challenge run footage sitting around waiting to become a video
Honey, Betty, Valkyrie, and Mam- the women of Gain Ground don't get as much acknowlegement as I'd like. Grenades were extreemly useful in the Arcade version when they had an actual splash radius, and Boomerangs are still one of the better ranged options out there. Grenades are the perfect middle ground between Magic Knights and Flintheads, and Boomerangs are the middle ground between Magic Knights and Gunslingers. But these ladies are often overshadowed by said other categories, due to being middle-of-the-road statwise to compensate for their jack-of-all-trades nature.
So I decided to beat the game using only them- after all, the only legal qualification is to have one high ground hitter for 3-10, and Grenades could cover that- the rest of the game can be done with whoever we want. So sit back and relax- it's gonna be one hell of a ride!

17:30 you can actually destroy these laser barrage

[@Arial55555]

yep; each forcefield has 5 HP (hitbox on the generators) before being temporarily deactivated (generators share HP if they both power the same forcefield)

[@GrumpyCat97]

so there's more hostage in 2P mode? damn i should have played 2P mode instead

[@Arial55555]

Yes, but the disadvantage is that if you ever have to exit run your party, P2 is still active and will ALSO have to exit run their whole party or kill the remaining enemies before the time limit.

This is a Good challenge I would even say this is a fairly good challenge. A good challenge that you came up with. However, I have 2 small issues one. There's only 4 females and 2. Most of the projectiles cannot hit enemies that are high up, which can be a really bad thing and 3 I know i said 2, but I'm gonna add a third one in here. Most of them can't shoot in different directions.

And, for exactly those reasons, I had to do it.
