So, for the longest time I've only had stages 1-4 of SA Lunatic available for practice. Today I decided to make another stab at it to get 5 and 6. The run turned out to be quite...interesting.
First off, I got past stage 1 without dying on my first try, which is a fucking miracle in and of itself. Then on stage 2 I died twice before midboss Parsee. >_> Despite this I carried on, and the boss fight, as well as stage 3, went smoothly. Stage 4 was really sloppy, but with my tried-and-true 'Bomb the shit out of everything' strategy(It really works, honest it does!) I got through stage 5 before finally getting my ass kicked by Orin's first boss card. I even managed to dodge one wave of Catwalk.
After that was an hour-long continue-spamming fest that got me the stages I wanted. But my eventual successful stage 6 run is what was interesting. It had me capping Blazing Wheel, Nuclear Reaction(wut) and Peta Flare, then subsequently dying to her second and third(wut) noncards. I also quintuple-bombed and died once on Subterranean Sun, bringing me to 0 lives and 0 power by the end.
So yeah, a heterogeneous mix of win and fail all around. Time to go get raped in practice mode...
