For those thinking it's an absurd that the dragon on challenge 4 hits the robot shooting it, even if it's further away, you're not quite right. The Dragon's range has a max and a min value, say it goes from 50 to 200. That means, if the Shield is less than 50 "distance units" from the Dragon, it's out of its range and it'll shoot anything that's in this range. Refer to the strategy I posted here. I tried it 5 times and made it on 4 of them.

That's the link for a guide on unlocking all characters I made. Rate up to keep visible!
@generalvalter:
I completed the characters after killing around 800 monsters, so there's no point in getting an unlock for each 1000 enemies you kill
@no one in particular
There should be a Hard Badge for unlocking all characters!
something wrong with ranking for "All Characters Unlocked"... even though I unlocked all 314 characters, it says I didn't "unlock all characters"... I was wondering if there was any character off the chart, but I don't really think so
the notes are actually not perfectly synced with the songs (they are pretty close, but not exactly)... so if you hit the keys by ear, you'll probably miss some of the notes
Challenge 4 is A LOT easier if you set Shield to follow Sword instead of the opposite! Keep controlling Sword so that Shield is just a bit closer to Dragon than Sword, but not too close so that it's out of Dragon's range. If Sword gets too close to Dragon, just fall back at the expense of some of Shield's health and wait for Dragon to go after you to go back to your tactic (if you go after Dragon, Sword will be closer to it and will get hit). Using this strategy, Sword took only 2 or 3 shots and Shield's health was just a tiny bit bellow the half when I killed Dragon.
Rate up for posterity, people don't need to get annoyed by this challenge.
veeeery slow-paced game, also very repetitive... just a waste of good graphics and good ideas. it sure has potential, but I kinda think it's really bad as it is =/ sorry
why do people keep posting comments about the level cap coming unannounced, when you can clearly see the level limit on top left corner of skills menu?
solaar is a good character... this is very good in this game, differently from chrono cross - most of the many characters are really useful in their own ways... donovan and sharla are the exceptions
