only hope there is that someone digs through the scraps of Ono's SF6 (which apparently was going to be a team game) and builds something off of that.

We've been hoping this for the past 10-15 years, and the same goes for Darkstalkers. Darkstalkers was "reportedly" being talked about, but nothing came about with it, at least I haven't heard anything regarding it. But Akira being in SFV does make the possibility of a new Rival Schools / Project Justice a bit more real. The real question, though, is: WILL IT BE JUST AS GOOD AS THE OLD GAMES? Because they could change some mechanics around and the game might not even feel the same. But who knows. I'd take a "wait and see" approach before getting hype about anything Rival Schools related.

a Darkstalkers appearance won't hurt much either... if they're having Rose and Gill involved, might as well crank the mysticism just one notch higher

Batsu is way cooler

I think most of the Rival School characters are eventually going to make it into Street Fighter 6.

@@monstersinthecity He was playable in TvC so its cool to see another character make the jump to the current day.

@@joeyzapata6786 or just make rival schools 3

To be fair, Akira got one of the main roles in Project Justice since she was responsible in stopping various students from going to Gedo High and starting a "war". That only happens if you fail to beat Demon Daigo. Seriously, she was a badass in PJ.

What about Terry Masters

Project Justice & Tech Romancer have THE best story modes in fighting games. Well, not really, but it’s well integrated and there’s a separate universal gauntlet mode for a more common arcade mode experience.

People may shit on it, but I think another runner for good fighting game story modes is Evil Zone. Each character's story is presented as a season of a different anime from their given perspective with unique dialogue and interactions before each fight, and ending "next time on" segments with commentary and stills for the next fight.

I always thought that he was saying “chao baby” to go with his rich jerk persona. That’s Engrish for ya. Lol

@Yung Wun Isn't that what King from KOF always says at the beginning of a round?

@@ShinRyojin I prefer Roy over Tiffany... and that annoying voice of hers. He was at least useful in combat.

Really? How? When?

@@ProjectSudoku akira's SFV costumes originated from the dating sim what he imply ?

@@steevan Ahh, gotcha.

@@steevan Yeah

Who was the first Samus that isn't actually Samus, basically, the second Samus?

Her voice is a dead giveaway

@@baboner1046 I think her voice is actually different without the helmet like more feminine

I think it comes out next week.

I think it comes out the 15th

I think it comes out

I think

Nah rather a new rival schools in general

Yes we should have been have more Rival Schools characters in Street Fighter ages ago but thanks to Yoshinori Ono that didn't happen.

I hope it leads to a new (or reimagined) Rival Schools game. I mean, if Guilty Gear Strive can find a modicum of mainstream success with little girls using anchors and a guy who uses fans to fight - why can't a new Rival Schools?...

Batsu was in CvT and CvSnk right?

@@christiandauz3742 Batsu is in Tatsunoko vs Capcom and Kyosuke in Capcom vs. SNK 2

Well Rival Schools was always thought of as being in the same universe as Street Fighter in the first place because of Sakura and various other references. But to my knowledge it was never straight up hard confirmed by Capcom until the stream that revealed Akira for SFV though. Stuff like Power Stone or Darkstalkers probably wouldn't happen because of the lore disconnect. Well I guess Darkstalkers is possible, they can just say SF happens in the human realm of that series or whatever, but Power Stone is more tricky because that world is so definitely not Earth lol. At least not Earth in the way SF and FF are in, with irl countries and everything. Normally this wouldn't matter and I can absolutely see them as guest characters for fun, but SFV is the most focused the series has been with story and keeping things within the SF/FF world or at least finding ways to connect them like Zeku does with Strider. And it seems like they're trying to do more with narrative and canon going forward too given the hints during Luke's reveal.

@@MagillanicaLouM I guess I went with this theory not only because of the inclusion of Akira but because I felt that Luke is an updated version of Captain Commando....

I always thought of as capcom's Iori

Hehehehe

@@georgehernandez2156 I like to think of him as "Yamazaki, Jr."

He can also kick sand on people's faces.

@@MrTrellheim And one of his air specials he spins around while throwing sand

That Capcom Guitar is in full force in that song

I think that the song was used as Batsu's character theme in TVC

YESIRRRR

Gran turismos air combos were hard as fuck though

🤣🤣🤣

Was about to say, the very cutscene they do the gender-reveal they make SURE to depict her bikergear hugging her ass so tightly one can clearly see the different cheeks. I'm no biker but I'm pretty sure their clothes are rather thick and like not very form-revealing because they're meant to protect the biker if they do a nasty fall... buuut I'm not a character designer so what do I know.

I know. They only made two games but man does project justice feel like the third part of a franchise

We need a new game and anime to come along with it. Crazy the fighting game built to have a Aimee never got one.

It really does. Capcom's sitting on a gold mine even with this series alone, they should do the work and make it happen.

@@devinwalters8769 They can reboot it and start with a new anime series and have sakura back introduce Ibuki. They have a lot to work with on their hands.

@@grouchygamer2404Yeah, that would be a lot for them, but if they did try it and do it right. It mostly likely would pay off for them.

When I see this game in arcade back in the days, I was thinking, what does Skullomania doing in this new franchise? I was genuinly shocked too, when I descovered that he was a she. 😂

George Hernandez If a MvC4 with that set of franchises in it was to be announced at an E3 and be released in the near future, I'd SOOOOOO forgive Capcom for what they did in 2016. Again, only one can dream. 😊

Street Fighter is the only one that prints money, but I agree on sooo many levels. Hopefully Akira gets enough exposure so that a new rival schools could get greenlit eventually.

@@Wolfedge75 unfortunately you’re right, none of those games mentioned sold well and therefore they will never have another game made for them. I can see some collections or rereleases in the future, power stone was released for psp as a collection, rival schools had that sequel for ps1 that was only released in Japan and of course project justice so that can be a collection and why the dark stalkers collection for ps2 was only released for Japan despite dark stalkers for psp was a launch title that same year I’ll never know.

If capcom didn't kill off 80% of it's fighting game teams after setting super lofty sales goals, we might actually have had some non-SF games in the last decade and a half...

Power Stone is getting a remake in 2024 according to the Capcom leak.

can you imagine being in a school fight and the kids just star leaping 8 feet into the air and throwing Hadoukens

@@brunop.8745 that sounds very awesome

Wish schools had so much beef with each other that people would just leave during school hours to punch the shit out of random kids from the other schools.

@AT Productions They crush each other's skulls in slow motion?

@AT Productions Dark. 😐

And the Oro Legacy

What's the 3rd game she was in?

@@toysmostwanted Might be referring to the updated version of the first one that only released in Japan

That's only if he plays Nekketsu Seisyun Nikki 2 which I highly doubt he will, unless chat helps him a ton.

They need a new game like powerstone does

Shoma, Roberto, Hayato too!

Put all of them in Street Fighter

Cause this is akira when he was young

@@Sa.d.bo26 and before the sex change...?

@@Sa.d.bo26 he's talking about virtua fighter lol

yeah that fact is referenced in the project x zone when batsu meets akira from VF. now that i think about, that game is kinda cool

@@ualarga its ashame that its only on nintendo

"Wow, Younger Brother. You're a real man's man! No weak little GIRL could fight like that!" Akira: (Resisting urge to launch into Air Combo)

You need to play project justice. It is fun.

You should be hype for Rin, Obito.

@@georgehernandez2156 Outside of emulation. Good luck

@@Davethawave1999 i got project justice on dreamcast and rival schools on ps1

But isn't Sean from Brazil?

@@730Flare He could be a foreign exchange student to make him fit in. It also could be a joke because he's from another fighting game series.

It's 3 games each so it's not too hard.

You know.... that might be better than the community thinks. Because admitting if it was on the other platforms it might not get room to breath without a full-dive into the esports arena. I am not sure that RS as a brand would be ready for that. Or should be that.

Nah just do a reboot

At least it's better than leaving it untranslated "because it's too deep to translate".

That’s because Michelle & Julia used Bajiquan which also the same fighting style for Akira.

It's a weird bit of cultural clash: In Japan, blood types are used as a shorthand for personality. For instance, if you're Type O, you're seen as confident, but self-absorbed, Type B are considered passionate, creative and yet lazy, etc. That might almost make sense in a notebook if you're just getting used to someone and you're trying to boil down their personality into a little "flashcard" to remember. This belief is really not known outside of Asia, so it looks weird as fuck.

@@SuperLuigiKart64 Damn, i don't even know my blood type, i would not have a personality in Japan
