Stepchart
[stepchart] Athena & Robikerottsu - Seishun! LOVE Lunch
Stepcharts are the patterns of arrows made to music for various arrow stomping games like Dance Dance Revolution, In The Groove, Pump It Up, and StepMania. In this blog, I will use the term “stepchart” to describe ITG and StepMania charts only. Stepcharts are usually packaged in zipped files which include an .SM file which contains the step pattern information, an audio file (usually .MP3 or .OGG but .OGGs are required for arcade play) for the music, and PNG images for banners and backgrounds. .SM files are read by StepMania (StepMania is a free, open source rhythm game engine which In The Groove is built from. I use StepMania 3.95 with the Groove 2.4 skin to achieve the arcade feel at home. Search the ITGFreak forums for help.) and In The Groove 2 arcade cabinets with R21 or higher installed with Custom Songs Enabled. The stepcharts posted on this blog are made by me, have no banners, and have R21 patched .OGGs unless otherwise stated. Enjoy.
This song is Athena & Robikerottsu’s 2nd single used as the opening theme for the anime Robby & Kerobby. I don’t watch the anime so I have no idea what it’s about. I just know that A&R consists of Hello! Project members and their music is just as cute and infectious most H!P releases have been recently.
I see what people are saying about the mini-moni comparisons visually, but musically, A&R’s flavour isn’t too similar… Maybe because the A&R vocals aren’t as cutesy as mini-moni… don’t get me wrong though… the voices behind A&R are cute but just not AS cute and just because they’re not AS cute, it doesn’t make them a worse group. That also doesn’t mean I don’t like cutesy voices - on the contrary, I adore them. I’m just saying mini-moni’s level of vocal cuteness is a tad higher than A&R’s. But anyway, I haven’t listened to mini-moni in ages but I’ve never been THIS into a mini-moni song… both A&R releases usually get first play when I listen to my playlists on shuffle. I can’t get enough of Shouri no BIG WAVE!!! and now this… A&R might have to be my favourite active H!P group.
I heard a small clip of it somewhere… probably Haromoni@ or something and thought, “Man, that has stepchart potential.” I was up surfing one night and found the PV. I gave it a watch and the cogs began turning. The rest is history. A word to describe this stepchart would be gallopy. I made the Hard stepchart first and it’s snapped to 12th notes. As I say later on in the readme, my record is 98.85% on keyboard which is kinda bad considering it’s my chart… but relative to my skill, it’s probably my highest score ever. My stepping/tapping timing is crap though I believe this song is timed correctly. Lemme know if otherwise. There’s nothing too out of the ordinary with the song; I don’t think I put any cross-overs in the Hard. I dropped a few mines to emphasize staccato. That’s about it.
Expert has a lot of 12th runs, a few gallops, a few cross-overs here and there, and some single rolls just for fun. The “Hai hai hai hai” parts consist mostly of hands which I did to make people stomp on purpose since it’d be fun to stomp on those parts. The 12th runs with 4th jumps might get annoying but it is an expert chart and I gave it an 11. Other than that, it’s a good stamina tester I suppose. I wonder how I’ll hold up when I give ‘er a whirl.
I’ll probably update this post when I play it in arcades.
Here’s the readme packaged in the zip file:

Gallopy.I haven’t tested this in arcades yet so if timing’s off, plz don’t kill me.
My personal record on hard (on keyboard) is 98.85% and my FA is crappy so I think the timing’s ok. Other than that, just enjoy. Feedback would be nice too, thx.
