PCB Extra Walk-through Video (HD lol)
« on: July 10, 2009, 02:48:40 PM »
Hey, it's been a while, guys.
Not long ago I've succeeded to beat PCB Extra without deaths, and I had been making a walk-through of it.
Yesterday I finished the clip, uploaded on YouTube as usual.
I'm glad I could deliver it in HD resolution.

Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7-SZ-3m1Sw&hd=1
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGloRk-z3jc&hd=1

If you have any feedback, feel free to write to me!

Just one question. How do people get Touhou videos in HD on Youtube? They are pretty much always running in 640x480 in fullscreen/window if it's not the later games.
Take me to your library, give me your spellbooks.

I can't watch it at the moment, but your SA Extra walkthrough was excellent, and I have no doubts that this one will be great as well.

Just one question. How do people get Touhou videos in HD on Youtube? They are pretty much always running in 640x480 in fullscreen/window if it's not the later games.

Well, there are various methods, but they generally entail using an external program to re-size your game window, or adding a "letterbox" to the video to a size YouTube recognizes as HD.  If you want more details, post a topic in the Tech Support forum.

FAR TOO MUCH MATH.

Very impressive though. Makes it a science.

It is actually far more easier.

Render it to 1280x720 resolution (even if it contains blackbars or edit them yourself out). Youtube automatically picks it up as HD and allows HD view.


Edit:
I never played PCB Extra mode, but I can say this is very awesome and easy to understand. Props Yoslime for your patience and editing. Very nice tutorial.

here's a tutorial that shows how to do it

the guy has terrible grammar and his photobucket is down, but it should explain it well enough:

Nothing constructive to add aside from what appears to be a minor explanation error around 0:53 when you say to move to the upper left as opposed to the right.  Anyhow, your explanations for Ran's 6th and 7th noncard were amazing.  That'll be great incentive to touch up on Extra soon.

Yeah, I had them figured out anyways, but was lightbulb when the math showed up.

This video is PURE TUTORIAL SEX.
The funny thing is that even before getting a decent stage part, I already had a method to consistently capture Blue Oni Red Oni. But then, that was the only thing I could do. :V

About Oni Sign "Red Oni Blue Oni"

There are two methods of doing it. For me, the easiest way is horizontal grazing while dodging the stray bullets.

But the FASTEST way is vertical grazing directly below Chen. I find it harder though because I'm not used to doing such this method as much, but it's basically the same =/.

Thanks for the comments, folks.

>about HD
The original raw video in my PC is coded with H.264, resolution of 1280*960 (it's huge lol) and it seems YouTube automatically converts it into 960*720 when uploaded.

>math
Yeah, that 'math' part is pretty complicated, that's my best effort to describe in simple expressions. It's pretty usual for me to take more than an hour to write a segment because I'm a Japanese, and that's why my English is sometimes weird, hehe.

>Blue Oni Red Oni
I skip this spell most of the time because I'm quite bad at it for some reason.
Every time I fail, it greatly discourages me. And on that run, I focused to not die.

Yeah but you sound like ZUN when you comment and it's sexy.

Haha thanks, but I think it's an excessive praise. :D
Personally I have the utmost respect for ZUN (who here doesn't?) as a storywriter, programmer, composer, artist (trust me, ZUN-style drawing is cute.) and gamer.
I was impressed when I've read his philosophy of game creation from omake text of Imperishable Night (regarding "spellcard feature" as a pell-melled method of gaming system and dramatics).

>Phantasm
Yeah, actually I'm planning PH as my next walk-through video.
Hold on, it's a 2-month work... ::)
