It's crazy that even to this day I still manage to discover things in this game. I rerouted this shot several times over as I kept discovering better strats while practicing it. Even rerouted almost the entire game for one of the discoveries.
This run lost quite a bit: got hit on s3 final section, accidentally suicided before Lagunas instead of during his first pattern, and got hit on Holy Illusion in s6. It could definitely be pushed to at least 193m. This shot doesn't actually score that much lower than the other VIVIT shot, although the route is completely different a bit more akin to HiranoS's route (considering the forward-focus nature of the shots).
VIVIT-A's narrow shot does leave things to be desired. The main reason for the score loss compared to HiranoS is that this shot has significantly lower damage output.
On the flipside, though, pressing Shift will immediately stop firing the lasers (which will linger even if you let go of Z otherwise), which is great for certain sections, especially stopping your shooting on Yuuta in order to repeat his missile pattern.
Pretty interesting how this route turned out. I'll probably end up doing HiranoO soon or later so I can showcase the routes for all four shots :)
