Ofcourse it's possible and she's a complete wimp compared to Ultimecia... and Ultimecia is pice of cake compared to Omega and Ultima Weapon. But they are all possible to defeat. I've done this challange... but I prefere my own "command only", no weapon upgrading, no drawing in battle, no cardrefining and no bite bug frying challange. This means that you can equip GFs, yes... but you are only allowed to junction commands like Item, Magic and GF etc. Any other form of junctioning is forbidden. No Str+60% and no Curagas at HP etc. ONLY commands. AND to make it even more intressting you're not allowed to upgrade your weapons so you have to stick with old, crappy weapons for the rest of the game (NO LIONHEART!!! Mwahahaha) AND you're not allowed to refine cards (NO HERO-CHEAT ITEMS!!! Bwahahahaha). And finally... the ultimate rule... NEVER cast firaga on a Bite Bug!!!

This challange is more intressting since it allows you to take advantage of all abilities and even the most underused spells can be usefull. It's much funnier than Attack and Limmitbreak only. Oh, and it's still a good challange because of the lack of attack strength since you won't upgrade your weapons (which you'll do in the Attack and Limmitbreak only challange). Oh, and you can't get all the GFs since you're not allowed to draw in battle. MWAHAHAHAHA!!!

ps: you don't need to follow the rule about frying Bite Bugs if you really don't want to... I know it's hard to resist.
