クラエス (Kuraesu, Japanese rendering of the name Claes) is a high level Perfect Cherry Blossom player with noticeable affection towards Easy mode and using Marisa-A in general.
Claes has been the first player to have broken 1.8 billion on Easy mode of PCB, using Marisa-A. With the help of several new strategies, Claes has later improved it to 1.839 billion. Throughout most of 2008, he/she has held Easy mode world records with every character. However, during HS参謀's late-2008 score renewal, all these records have been lost.
Claes still managed to reclaim the Easy/Marisa-A record on 2008/11/26, increasing it to 1.862 billion (a total improvement of 7 and 3.5 million to HS参謀's Marisa-A and Reimu-B scores, respectively). Whether he/she is planning to take back the other Easy mode records is unknown.
