I thought I actually had a chance of making it to Stage 5 Original after doing a 1 death run of stage 3(and all my bombs on the other life) then I had to go and derp a lot on Stage 4 and not even make it to the boss. I wish I could actually learn Stage 3's boss.
Made it to 90,000,000 though, so I still haven't gotten the second extend.
Edit: 2 deaths on Stage 3 boss. Derped a little less on Stage 4 but got farther than the previous run. Just over 92,000,000. How am I supposed to dodge the stage 3 boss's attacks. Abnormal Reco can get me around some of them, but then I'd have trouble with the stages. Any other character, I have to actually dodge a lot of crap. I have trouble with the stages with both variants of Palm, but not as much with Normal Palm, but then I have trouble with the bosses as well. Abnormal Palm gets me killed on the stages, but not as much on the bosses. Stage 3 boss and Stage 4 are currently what is kicking my ass. Sometimes Stage 3, but not as much any more. And I'm pretty much inconsistent on Stage 5. Even if I got to Larsa, I probably wouldn't have the lives needed to take her down.
Another Edit: What the hell do you mean I died to the damn stage 3 boss 4 times? This thing is such a run killer.
