I played the stage last night and beat it without shooting the enemies. This rooftop stage has problems. You're free to play however you want. I just don't like when people say this stage is hard when they are self opposing themselves because it isn't true. You're not the first one I heard that from. Mr. Slam seems like the smartest one when it comes to this stage. He was always the last one to fall. Also this always annoyed me you're pushing the enemies off with the ricochet, Mr. Slam has a chance of not sliding off the ice after being pushed.
I hear what you're saying. I'm just saying that I think it's the hardest if you don't knock people off or wait until they fall by themselves. Enemies still fall off when I play, and that's fine, but I'm not going to camp up top until they all die, that wouldn't be satisfying to me at all. So I just play it like a normal level and I only camp up top when things get crowded down below, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't (Spectre and Warthog can still get me from the bottom).
EDIT: I beat it with Hammerhead! It was my first run after I beat it with Twister. I was so close to getting a no death run too, but Dark Tooth's HEAD killed me, of all things to kill me. Still, I don't care, I beat it with Hammerhead, I basically did it all without dying, it feels awesome.
Only Grasshopper left. I got this. Hopefully I'll have it done today. If I lose a few times I'll pick it up tomorrow. If I win, I'll start Hard today just to get a taste of what I'm in for.
By the way fun fact, but when I beat it with Mr. Grimm, Twister and Hammerhead, it was my fourth try with all of them, which means they are tied with Darkside and Crimson Fury in TM1 Hard mode with the most amount of attempts it took me. I still haven't done a fourth attempt with Grasshopper yet, but if I don't make it with her on this next attempt, then she'll hold the record.
But overall I beat it with most of these characters on the second or third tries, and I don't even think I got a game over once on Medium in TM1, so that's why this has taken me so much longer than TM1 did on Medium. Heck, in TM1 Hard mode I think I beat it with most of them on the first try.
EDIT: I lost with Grasshopper. I died three times on Antarctica. It was total bullshit. The first time I legitimately died. The second time I get spawned right in front of Warthog, he takes off more than half my health in one second. The third time I spawn and start driving, someome rear fires a richochet at me and I go off the cliff and die. I didn't even have time to get out of the way. I spawned, then I died seconds later.
EDIT 2: I lost on attempt number 5 and 6. The first time I died twice on Moscow because they gave me Sweet Tooth, Mr. Slamm, Axel, Warthog and Hammerhead, then I got a game over on New York because I randomly got richochet b y a guy above me and went right off the edge. The next attempt I made it all the way to Holland without dying. I died twice on Holland and then I died on Hong Kong, which I haven't died on in a long time I don't even remember when (not counting Dark Tooth, I mean the regular enemies). I was doing my hit and run strategy because they gave me really hard enemies (I think the only ones missing were Shadow, Outlaw, Roadkill and Hammerhead). But I accidentally drove right into Thumper when turning a corner, had no energy left for shield and he roasted me near death, then Twister comes out of nowhere and finishes the job. Dammit, I had near full health too, I didn't kill anyone yet but I was doing pretty good, I had a few guys down less than halfway and hadn't gotten a health yet. This is getting ridiculous. I can't beat it with Grasshopper.
Luis, I was watching your videos and you should do a chalenge like the one I'm doing, but more difficult because you're pretty insane at these games. You should do this challenge without getting any healths. I don't even know if this is possible. Think it can be done? Beating every game with everyone on every difficulty without getting any healths? I know for a fact it can be done in 3 and 4 because those games are piss easy compared to the rest of the series (but not getting healths would still be hard). Small Brawl is possible since you get your lives back each level. Head On I'm not too sure about as I've only played that game twice in my life, and I couldn't even tell you the levels in that game.
It's 1, 2 and Black that I'm not sure about being possible.
