What they said. The story only shows up when you pick certain teams.

And each character has 2 different story mode endings, good and bad (although for bad it was just a text narrative). And all of them are canon (with the exception of Hyo)!

From that little snippet, I'm just going to take a shot in the dark and say that the story is complete shit. I mean, it is a fighting game and Anime. But, That's honestly one of the dumbest shit I've ever heard lmao.

@@lightningonlycommentsonce5824 bruh the story is actually really good.

Or just look in the instruction manual :)

I almost bought a JP Playstation and import copy of this game from this basement store just to be able to experience this.

A patient friend who could read Japanede had us all run through and make characters. Your custom characters moves were based on who you were friends with. The best was a male character who befriended Tiffany and would yell out "Beautiful...Wonderful....Exciting!" I ended up making a swordmaster who had a thing with Hyo. To get a story, I think you have to play with an actual school team?

I never played it, but it seemed better than the half-baked board game in project justice

If my playthroughs of Modern Fire Emblem is any inclination, there's your base for a revival.

@@toiletsinjapan9933 Make your own character was pretty amazing for a fighting game.

@Colton Zolman Well then, Let's Rock!

And, while we're at it, I want HD remasters of Virtual-On and Gundam Battle Assault 2.

@@MLPGamer636 Considering the last new(ish) Virtual-On entry was just 2018 I can see development interest still coming from it.

Why not just put more of these characters in SFV? If Sakura fits in...

Me too. I want it as a collection. On the switch and ps4 and ps5

@@awanfarrell2880 Going back to what I said, the fact that no one asked for anymore RS characters in SFV shows Capcom how interested people are.

Darkstalkers,Breath of Fire series,Red Earth

They could literally port Darkstalkers Resurrection to modern consoles and make a load of money from old fans, same with Super Turbo and 3rd Strike Online. Or just give us a collection of old lesser known Capcom fighters like their beat em up bundle

Capcom only cares for Street Fighter, Resident Evil and Devil May Cry those the Capcom trinity games that brings in a lot of money them other games are all just memories now.

@@Crazy-sr1pr Yup say what you will about Namco but at least they try like the Soulcalibur games barely sell anymore after the third game shot the series in the foot but they never gave up on that franchise. If SC was owned by Capcom or Konami there would be no Soulcalibur 4 to 6 because it would have gotten the pachinko machine fate after SCIII.

@VoiceOfDizzy They‘re masterworks all, you can‘t go wrong.

Picking people from the same school follows a storyline. So for Roy Tiffany and Boman for USA, Akira, Edge, and Gan for Getto High, etc

So basically like King of Fighters? That's fair enough.

Yep, As a Former Owner of All three games, Of Course... Mix Matching characters will give you a regular Arcade Gameplay. I dunno, maybe he's just playing the game for the sake of playing with it, it doesn't seem he cares about the concept the game revolves around.

Sort of, KOF has endings but no story in between the lines.

Ninjacop Ex Actually all of the KOF games have in between match cutscenes with the game exceptions of 98 and 2002 which are dream match games.

I know there was actually a Rival Schools manga released. I never saw it translated into English, but I think I saw a French version. Thankfully, my French is slightly better than my Japanese.

Yeah with Gon and Edge having a heart attack that it's a girl. Matt managed to skip Daigo in the hidden-character select.

@@trymv1578 great story telling in 90's fighting games. And not a lot of people talk about the girls alternate costumes where they have acttck team acttcks not just support.

@@milkymoo3999 fuck yeah this is my favorite fighting games. I have some shitty videos of me playing here on KZfaq.

Rival schools is one of my favorite fighting games of all time this and evil zone,oh and street fighter alpha2.

Well.... Kyosuke appears in Capcom vs SNK 2 .. not quite a cross over, though ^^;

I got both games on disc

Dawg I love Bushido Blade so much

I would drop $100 for a new Bushido Blade instantly.

@@metalslugfest shit if they crowdfunded it I'll go insta-broke to make it real

Bwhoaa, Tech Romancer! I'm surprisingly disappointed I haven't touched my copy or even my Dreamcast in general for years. :(

Yeah, he was definitely conceived as a homage to Terry. He's an American transfer student with a jacket-style uniform, blonde, has a brawling fighting style with a powerful punch and ground shockwave attacks, and he mostly speaks in broken english when fighting.

I wanna live in that timeline. :(

@@Jomijan me too buddy Me too

@@JesusSaves86AB I dunno about that take, the fighting game market right now is more diverse and fresh than it's ever been. 2D, 3D, platformers, even the playstyles and aesthetics in todays market has tons of ideas on display. That's not to say Rival Schools has no place, it's got its own take on Pokken-esque mix of 2D meets 3D and its sense of humor is something that no other fighter on the market shows off quite so flamboyantly.

I physically can't record older games in anything higher. And...well they wouldn't even benefit from it. I have plenty of other videos that are in 1080 and higher, because they are modern games that actually support those resolutions.

Matt McMuscles Thanks for your reply! I can't wait to see what clusterfuck you cover next on Wha Happun? Personally I'm hoping for a System Shock 3 installment one day 10 years from now when it's finished.

Haha, yeah. I'll never forget Ushi the Cow in that game.

It was the best fighting game on N64

Felt like it was quite different because of the point system
