grazing
Skimming bullets as close as possible without getting hit, for score.
Definitions
Dancing on the edge. In a lot of bullet-hell games your hitbox is tiny, so you can let bullets pass within a hair of you, and the game rewards it. Each near-miss feeds your score or meter. The closer you graze, the bigger the payoff, and the more terrifying it looks.
Touhou built grazing into its scoring DNA. Hugging bullets isn't reckless there, it's the whole point.
