I have to say I'm disappointed to find out that the battles are not the same. With character selection being so critical it seems like the battles should be in the same order for everyone if we are being compared on our progress to determine final position. Maybe if my mission 6 had been first I would have completed it the first pass because I had stronger characters available.

I am completely stuck on the 6th mission in SS and I can confirm that my battles are different than the ones posted by edsel. I have lost the coin toss on mission 6 5 times now and been destroyed every time before I even get a turn. I got a second turn once I was able to go first but only had 1 character left who promptly died after he spit blood on the ground at the AI's feet. I'm done with Gauntlet for this week. I still have strong characters left, but nothing that would make sense for this specific opponent team.
