Alright, here's my progress so far. Still a lot of room for improvement.

I can do better; didn't do very well on 5 and 6 as far as grazing and faith goes. Admittedly, this was the first time I even played MarisaA on 5 and 6 on Normal, so eh.
Don't care though. i fukken care

First time on one of these -  I really wasn't expecting to actually beat two people...

Just a small update. Could have been a lot higher score, but I failed 2 of Kaguya's last spells and 1 other. Maybe I'll do 1 more try tomorrow if I have time.

[LHCling]

Might as well put a mark just in case I feel sick or something. I must confess though, I don't feel particularly comfortable with this game, regardless of my Shot Type.

One key miss (on Okuu) led to a SOUL CRUSHING 40/45 million blow to my endscore. 3 Misses in total (1 suicide, 2 failed deathbombs). Lots of CowardPoints^TM. Either way, terrible performance that other prevalent mistake in the run probably cost a fair bit as well. ...maybe 2 credits isn't enough to solidify the route into my head.

Man, I seem to have this thing where I can inch over other people in the smallest amounts ever.

I deathbombed everyone except Tewi. Then died with 5 bombs.

On the plus side, I did surprisingly well to get to Reisen.

[chirpy13]

Deathbombed everyone?  I'd bet you could make a 1cc out of that if you focus a bit more (no pun intended <_<) and time your bombs for before you get hit.  Go for the clear!

I still want to improve this, but I'm going to go work on Lunatic for now.

[Arcorann]

Decided to try a FinalB run - surprisingly most of the gains were in stage 5 (over 100M gained):

I guess I could try again. Maybe I should've grazed Yamame's hand after her first Spell Card.

I somehow managed to get to Stage 4, with some crappy deaths.

This is just to round off the set. At least I beat something...

I thought my wrist(s, even) recovered but nope, the pains started to return. 70% impromptu, 30% "what i lern from other runs lol"
It's funny to see donut saying that he'll participate and well, not put anything up, aye? Or a certain other individual.

[shadowbringer]

- no score so far, until the deadline (can be improved, but as of now, the IN ones are pretty bad, and SA ones are even more clueless since I can't think of a grazing path or remember it during the playthrough, or die while trying to freestyle, which means lots of restarts)

- can someone please explain what's the hitboxes for stages 4, 5 and 6 of IN? Kaguya's colored bullets and lasers, Marisa's stars, stage 5's larger bullets.. they (except the latter) are limiting because they look too intimidating, due to fear of clipping them, and the latter got me killed once due to underestimating its hitbox

it's particularly important to know what the bullet hitboxes are, imho, so that I could die less and/or plan my bombs better (even dynamically), and the thought of getting in a worse situation due to not knowing the hitboxes (rather than recognizing when/where/why I died and how such situation could've been avoided) is frustrating. The latter stages wasted my efforts in IN, and the time spent to get to them, due to these deaths. Dunno if others have felt the same.

Nothing special going on with Normal.  Didn't want to die so performance took a dip during the last two stages.  There was a bit I wanted to do with the laser sections in stage four which you seem to need at least 6 power for, but the chance that I wasn't centered right and didn't successfully destroy the enemies before they dropped lasers straight down made me forget about it.  Hard was a total joke and I love it for that.  I'll start on it again in an hour or two and get a run that doesn't enter stage six with one spare life (which I suicided off for power).  Endstage Orin's second noncard should have been free points, but I'm not bothering.

Some procrastination.  I didn't begin (and finish) Normal until last night, and the same for that curious Hard run.  May skip out on Extra and move on to a cheap Lunatic clear.  I don't want to practice any routes so it should only yield something in the range of 1.5B.

clip potential is high when nearing the latter stages, plus Youmu unfocused
Also, I still don't understand the correct sizes of the bullet hitboxes, so I guessed them. Was clueless on the other stages as usual, since I don't have a good memory to remember the stage enemies and there doesn't seem to be any guide about the stages.

SA made me restart a lot as usual, it feels a lot stricter than IN in that you must go to specific places to graze, everytime. Stray a bit from it and you die. (example, the first big fairies from stage 1, if you choose to stay near them for grazing)

[Shady_Ghost]

Welp clipped two of kaguyas last spells and completely failed the other....

Died like a retard on both Orin's second non (36k faith lost) and Okuu's second non (16k faith lost), depriving me of:
2 lives * 25mil = 50mil
52k faith * 1000 = 52mil
all the fucking points i got in stage 6 (about 65mil), ranging throughout the stage from an extra 36k to 52k bpv = roughly 50-60mil

i lost 150mil on two deaths
i'm going to goddamn bed
