I recorded an SSS rank playthrough of FE5. I took 163 turns, played on normal mode, and did not use movement growth or movement stars. I prioritized safety over turncount, but recorded best-case-scenarios. I know most people here just care about getting the lowest turncount so I have some notes on that as well.
Here are the videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjiK2hBPwZdHKtH-kd8TQegZrA8GsElEr
Here are my turncounts:

As for an elite mode SSS route that prioritizes turns over reliability here are the turncounts I would expect:
ch1 - 4
ch2 - 4
ch2x - 7
ch3 - 6
ch4 - 9
ch4x - 5
ch5 - 11
ch6 - 6
ch7 - 6

I am looking for information on potential improvements to this run, either to increase reliability or to decrease turncount. Please let me know what I've missed.
Edit: added turncounts for unreliable route
