Cherry Playthrough: Letty Whiterock (PCB Stage 1 Lunatic)

[Algamyst]

A murder is announced, and will take place on Tuesday, January 3rd, in the snowfields at 7 PM. Youkai please accept this, the only intimation.

[superfishy444]

Hm.

Are you using the same arrangement artist for the whole playthrough?

[raak1010]

@superfishy444

If I did that, I would need to restrict myself to circles like dBu, and even then not all songs will be covered. So no. Different artists

[JuneAndAlyssa]

Wow, you accepted the requests? I'm glad you're back again. Nice snow transition thing.

[raak1010]

@JuneAndAlyssa

The request for PCB Lunatic? Not really. I just happened to do it.

[JuneAndAlyssa]

@raak1010 Oh okay.

[BBsgalore]

Remembers he used some requested music

dies happy

[raak1010]

@BBsgalore

You're welcome? Although it should be the other way around.

[Socoolgirl94]

Pcb is the hardest game for me, mainly because of Stages 4-6. Course, I'm a noob who plays on Easy/Normal depending on how good I am at said game. Still, I like watching your videos and hope I can at least be decent at Normal someday XD

[shakeyourbuttx]

also,youmu may be one of the hardest stage 5 bosses.orin is easier than shou.

[shakeyourbuttx]

one of the easiest games?i dont think so

maybe the prismriver sisters are pretty easy,and the stages are still the same after all,but i find alice and chen to be a lot hard for stage 3 and 2 bosses

SA is kinda easier than ufo for me since ufo is the only touhou game i cant 1cc on hard.and also ufo is kinda hell on lunatic :/ remilia and byakuren are the hardest stage 6 bosses for me.i think this game is standard,not easy.

[raak1010]

@shakeyourbuttx

Although I'll disagree wit you on difficulty, even if you're right you have to take into account game mechanics. The Cherry system makes this game a lot easier, since periodically you receive what amounts to a free deathbomb.

[suckyskater21]

@shakeyourbuttx the Prismrivers? Easy? What game have i been playing this whole time?!

[Grahckheuhl]

"First curvy lasers"?

Depends if you consider the Cheeto lasers from PC-98 to be curvy lasers or not.

[raak1010]

@Grahckheuhl

Already said they don't count.

[mstrswrd]

(For the most part) Canon before fanon, for me. That's not to say that I don't follow fanon extensively (I just got done downloading yet more doujin), or in rare cases, allow for fanon to overtake canon (I like Cirno and Letty being friends, for instance), just that, when pushed, I can quote canon (and will stand by it) like nobodies business. Also, that beginning. Such trolling.

[Ispod4]

".....that supposedly are of unnatural beauty and aggressive towards human. Although in Letty's case it seems to be more the other way around."

......What do you mean by that, Raak? I'm not following you. =/

[raak1010]

@Ispod4

Yuki-onna are said to be very beautiful and aggressive. Letty is pretty meh on the first department and on Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, she's being attacked by humans.

[LuckySmash9]

Whew, awesome start. I can't wait to see the rest of the playthrough now. The music you chose was great, I loved how jazzy Crystallized Silver was made, and that orchestral arrange of Deep Mountain took me back, since it was my favorite Stage 1 theme before Night Sakura of Dead Spirits popped up. Pretty fantastic stuff.

I feel like I had more to say, but I can't remember what that was. Oh well. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next upload.~

[leafyxcrowy4eva]

This is the first of your playthroughs that I've actually been subscribed to you for~ The others I just looked up on your channel. That makes this special to me since you are an awesome person.

[Abeyll]

I'm always stunned of all the informations you give us on your videos descriptions. It's really interesting to read your opinions. Keep going we like it !

[michaaal357]

do you use controller or keyboard?

[raak1010]

@michaaal357

Keyboard. More precise

[Gintama27]

O_o PCB easy? IMO it's the most difficult game of the touhou project serie... Raak, I love you, thanks for all of your videos, you are a god for me!

[TimeSpaceMage]

@Gintama27

I know what you mean, PCB kicks my ass too. I hear it's from Sakuya having 4 bombs per stock, but my reaction time sucks so I never get to use them =P

[raak1010]

@Gintama27

Have you played SA?

[Gintama27]

@raak1010 Yes, but PCB is harder for me ^^"

[raak1010]

@Gintama27

You're weird =/

[CowboyYAKEDO]

@Gintama27 I, personaly, found 8 to be pretty easy.

[Darkbeastganon2]

Wait, do you use Vegas? If so, how did you make the snow so precised?

Regardless. Great run, and the snow was really fitting into the boss battle. Cool touch.

[raak1010]

@Darkbeastganon2

By precise you mean it doesn't enter the game window? In the pan/crop thingy all video footage have, I made a negative mask around the window.

[Darkbeastganon2]

@raak1010 Oh, no. I mean how did you make it circular and realistic, because I tried to make a snow effect, and it turned out to be weird shapes...

[raak1010]

@Darkbeastganon2

Oh... sorry, but I used After Effects for that.

[hjt091]

Dunno if you already know this or not, but Letty's name is actually a reference to a character from the Agatha Christie novel 'A Murder is Announced'.

Actually, Alice Margatroid's name is as well. Sadly, Chen's is not.

[raak1010]

@hjt091

Chen is a reference to color and half of Alice name is a reference to Alice in Wonderland

[hjt091]

@raak1010 The 'Margatroid' in Alice's name come from 'A Murder is Announced'; she's named after the character called Amy Murgatroyd. Letty is named after another character called Letitia (Letty) Blacklock.

[win100000]

Nice music, as usual...Gonna add the start to my "Icicle fall collection" document for being so difficult :)

[brokkenmask]

man, i woulda loved to play this when i was little. used to be pretty decent with them. now i just eat the bullets

[heepitybeepity]

Aww, I like Letty's name. I think it's very pretty. ):

[Iemanonymous1]

R-RAAAAAK~

I MIIIIISED YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~

[ArceusMaster101]

Welp, finally. Glad to see you can crank out a video again.

You know, I suggest Labyrinth of Touhou. It's a really fun spinoff that is toatally unlike the regulars games. I can't quite put it into words, so as they say. GOOGLE IT!

[NemoMentisson]

PCB is easy, but it's also pretty fun, so... Probably my favorite soundtrack too. If you're looking for good arrangements of PCB's soundtrack, look to TAMusic and the guy behind the Touhou Pianoforte albums. I think they generally do more than justice to the originals.

[raak1010]

@NemoMentisson

Too bad TAM normally do violin and he doesn't exactly synchronize nicely with the videos...imo =/

[EurekaNitroProject]

fuck yea!!! PCB :)

[FujiwaraNoTobi]

Raak, do you thin Letty hates Germany?

Germany didn't have Winter yet, that's why. =/

[raak1010]

@FujiwaraNoTobi

What do you mean it didn't had winter? XD

[Tanzklaue]

@raak1010 it didn't snow that much yet, thank god for that ^^

[FujiwaraNoTobi]

@raak1010 No snow at all, and it's too warm for winter. xD

[raak1010]

@FujiwaraNoTobi

Well, Letty is bound to Gensokyo. You should try another yuki-onna

[forevereon]

Your music... impressive sir :D

[raak1010]

@forevereon

Too bad that imo it goes downward from here =/

And by downward it gets progressively more Metal =p

[KitsuneDzelda]

@raak1010 Oh come on Raak, dont go that route. Not every final boss needs to have Metal in their theme. Cept Utsuho. Thats a requirement. As heavy as you can get it. But otherwise, try to resist the urge!

[raak1010]

@KitsuneDzelda

Too late. The problem is that orchestra music of Yuyuko is just too mellow or short. Trust me, I looked around but to no avail. You can try to find something more suited if you like. The problem is the music must not only be good, but also mesh nicely with the video.

Also, what do you mean every? The only one so far that's been undoubtedly metal is Kanako. And maybe the Lunarians. But I'm pretty sure neither Remilia nor Byakuren had Metal.

[leafyxcrowy4eva]

@raak1010 If you were still searching I would try to help but I don't know what you're looking for exactly. I'm sure there are things other than metal that would fit the fights.

[forevereon]

@raak1010 If you give me a link to Letty's theme, I'll be forever happy. 'Tis my favorite song

[Reboundary]

@forevereon watch?v=qp0Ci2nKa9k

[forevereon]

@Reboundary Thanks!

[destellonegro00]

Woah, acabas de subir xDu, se siente extraño publicar en un video donde acaban de subir...

Pero, llendo al grano, tengo un pregunta: ¿Sabes donde puedo encontrar la descarga del juego en la que no se cierre cada vez que pongo pausa? ;A; Me desespero...

[Shockman458]

YES!! :D
