Default RATO: A History of the chart and the current AAA

Shoutouts

I would first like to start with a shoutout to SillyFangirl for AAAing this beast of a chart. It's got a long history and finally achieving a perfect score on this song deserves a thread to talk about its history.


Background

Reluctantly Accepting Temporary Overexhaustion (RATO) was released 12/23/08.

To get an idea of how messy the scores were around a week after its release, I used the Wayback machine to get the top 10 leaderboards on December 31st, 2008. Initially on RATO, just mashing a full combo on this chart would already land you in the top 10.



While I don't remember what the Rank 1 score was at the time, the following picture with stat breakdowns should give a rough idea of how the score was still 100+ goods. What was worse was that at the time you needed to get a full combo on the chart as well, so players ended up mashing a lot.
