Rival Schools - A MOVIE LENGTH DOCUMENTARY! (Every Game) 

Rival Schools is one of those games where dispite its graphics, the gameplay, combos and fun factor quickly overtook the sheer enjoyment! Its DC sequel would give it much shine, but the gameplay was STILL SOLID!

So glad one of my fave Capcom games is getting coverage! This is a truly overlooked franchise like Darkstalkers!

Rival school and power stone warriors. Two Capcom games that should still be around today....

YES FINALLY SOMEONE RECOGNIZES THIS SERIES...thank you for the video!!!!

the moment I discovered Kyoko as a young teen, I realized I have a "type"... ahhh, youth...

This game hit me in my prime as a gamer. I spent hundreds of hours. It was a crush at the same level as SF2, Super Mario Kart, FFVII and MGS. I unlocked everything the game had to offer. I have never find a versus game so fun and with a cohesive, complex and interesting history. You don't know how much you get involved when you really cared about the characters you played with.

I grew up with the japanese version. I really loved the character creation mode.That board game was funny.

Hearing that "cmon baby" brought me back man....... Roy n shoma were my team. Funny enough I only had 1 disc but I had HOURS on this game. I just want it back in it og form wit an online feature

Can't wait to see Akira in Street Fighter V and soon more Rival Schools/Project Justice characters come to Street Fighter and give Final Fight characters a rest.

I still remember playing Rival Schools back when I was in High School.

Top Hat Gaming Man keep breaking down all the games & characters, kudos to you.

I owned this game once upon a time. I liked playing as the teacher w the glasses

If Project Justice ever got a rerelease I would be all over it. My favorite Dreamcast game; may even be my favorite fighting game period.

The evolution mode from the first release to Playstation are amazing. I'm remember buy a japanese version just to have the second disc included, like Ace Combat 3 US situation.

To this day, one of my favorite ps fighters. Many many hours were spent on this underrated gem.

I love this game, it needs a come back!

Outstanding work! That's a series I truly miss.

Rival Schools character gonna be put in Street Fighter games now.

I was playing Project Justice on my Dreamcast today!!

So great!Rival schools is one of my favorite game franchises of all time. Top Hat doing great stuff as always!

Hideo #1 you feel the impact in the game in the moves it has which makes it fun. The minigames were great to try and beat the record when having a group of friends around. I did not know about the third game "project justice" so thanks.

Oh man this has been getting alot of attention lately and I'm LOVING IT

Rival Schools & Darkstalkers where my favorites from Capcom. Cyberbots was another one. Those awesome character designs by Edayan quickly put him at the top of my list of favorite Capcom artists. Kyoko was my favorite. 😋 The relatable cast of high school students and faculty and their stories struck a chord with me at the time. I imported the Dreamcast sequel, "Moero! Justice Gakuen", years later & loved it even more with the board game mode.

when you realize hes reading the fandom article about this game, almost word for word

Truly an underrated game in my opinion. Used to play this after school at the local arcade

That "Taiyo High School Athletic Field" theme that starts at 6:32 is sick, video game music at its finest

Big like

This will forever be in my heart and mind.

ANOTHER game I can never hear enough about.

Tatsunoko vs capcom looks so good. Graphic wise. Rival schools is a gem.

I had Rival Schools on PS1 that I don't even know why I got it, but remember it being lots of fun.

Greetings from México!

Had forgotten about this. Currently enjoying the Dreamcast version! Thanks for this

I'm pretty sure that the Evolution Disc of the US version had the Tennis player, the camera girl, the PE teacher, and the extra gang member guy I'm like, 100% sure. Maybe they had to be unlocked through the mini games. But I'm sure they were playable. The swimming guy too.

My first time playing this was a friend brought over a burned copy we had to rig on the ps to play. A few weeks later, I found the actual game and bought it and played it religiously to unlock everything. After that, the dreamcast came and I bought Project Justice. And Tatsunoko x Capcom for the Wii. Never knew about the other Rival Schools games. Sucks they never got overseas releases.

Really enjoyed this documentary!👍

One of my favorite series :D

I’d love to see Capcom do a modern Rival Schools

Absolutely one of my favourite 1 on 1 fighting games. The biggest draw for me is being able to move in and out of the environment, which really is a great way to put the 3D to use. Personally - I much preferred the Rival Schools on the PS1 than the Dreamcast version. The Dreamcast version; I felt that the animations where a little stiffer and the gameplay not as fluid for some reason. Still, a great game nonetheless.

Bloody brilliant! Perfect for a wet, stay inside Sunday! Keep up the good work fella and stay safe

I'll be the first to admit I played many more hours of Project Justice more than MVC2. I have no regrets.

I used to rent this game so often . Ahh nostalgia

Wow, I did not hear about Akira getting into Street Fighter V. Probably the most unexpected thing they could have done. Also, making a documentary of this is pretty awesome. Ah.... Kaiotsuki, Kaiyoko and Diago are my favorites. Also, I would say Tatsunoko is not "weeb" at all. The type of people those series were made for are as mainstream as Poke'mon and Dragon Ball , maybe even more mainstream than Dragon Ball Z. Most "weebs" want to look cool and a lot of Tatsunoko is more similar to western cartoons.

I love this game. I had rival schools on dreamcast, oh the fun I had with friends in the barracks.

Such a shame i never got to play it, as we never got a full release, i do remember playing a demo disk of this game, and lovimg every minute of it.

It was an honor to inherit this game from my brother. I still have this and marvel vs street fighter

The Only Thing Rival Schools Lacked: Was Its Own “Main Stream” Manga Comic Story or an Animated Anime Series.

Such an amazingly fun game!

OMG TY!!

I had no idea that some of the American characters were just custom characters. That’s fascinating.

Btw. This MUST get a remake/hd remake/ reboot or even better a continuation

Ah no, my man, Dragon Ball and Pokemon... Dang bro... Oh woah, Karas is alright it's pretty stylized, beautifully rendered and a good view.

I love these games

Several of the anime characters appear in the anime Infini-T Force which is like a Avengers team-up but with Japan heroes

What a coincidence, just finished watching the Project Justice video....I try to keep up with your vídeos, very good work. I have a question, is there a "Street Fighter EX series Movie" video? Or do i have to watch them separetely?

This was overall wonderfully put together, but why did the entire 3rd portion of the video focus on Tatsno V Cap? I was waiting for it to segue back to something more about Rival Schools, but other than featuring Batsu, which took like 5 seconds to mention. . . . the video outright abandoned the title's topic. . .

I have both rival schools and project justice now! Also, what is that song playing at the beginning?

2:22 objection Tekken 3 and Soul Edge didn't have magic fire or super crazy attacks like the super in Street fighters and didn't have the crazy characters looks of other 2D games, so I think what they said is true

Hey, Top Hat Gaming Man. Can you please do a review video on Fighting Vipers?

rival schools for playstation was badass

Its's Back!! lol

This game is amazing, I hope everyone played the Japanese version to fully enjoy all the modes :)

Will you talk about the other fatal fury game's and other king of fighters game's too?

Great game. Emulates well on playstation classic.

Villains of Shonen want to lose to taunt the hero and comeuppance it is all desired a win win at its most base level

And here I am: wallet ready at hand and Capcom not interest in a remaster/remake/sequel/prequel/or whatever they want. It's funny that they didn't want to milk this franchise as they usually do.

You should’ve played the opening ost of rival schools 2

Samurai Pizza Cats missing from the line up is a crazy missed opportunity 😩

What I would give for capcom to bring back this franchise. Even if it's a anthology re-release. My Dreamcast is dead so I haven't been able to play Project Justice in over a decade.

I had a bootleg disc of project justice with the weird board game mode

For me rival schools was never given the opportunity to develop as it should have done. I hope that it can be relaunched

BROOOOOO it's not KAIOSUKIIIII! It's Kyosuke (pronounced ki-oh-su-kay) LOL check the pronunciation before you make a video...but great video! Love your content ;-)

I would love to see a new rival schools game but if they are not going to make a new one then CAPCOM should take all of those characters and put them in street fighter I mean they already have final fight characters why not all the characters from rival schools that would be phenomenal.

Their father should be talked about in further detail instead of being used as a plot device. (MGS 4 should have used this plot device as well)

I had this game for my PS1, I've donde the dating sim by trial and error too many times hahahaha!!!

Love the concept and character designs of this game. Why they make a character that looks like Sakura and then include Sakura tho? Also, the graphics look nice.

The one ps1 game I wish I played.

Well, you spelled my name incorrectly but I’m still very, very happy to be back at the bottom of the list ☺️☺️☺️☺️🎩🕹

Roy and Sakura!

I still have my PS1 copy of Rival Schools. Love it. BUT the annoying thing is various magazines at the time claimed that the character creation could be unlocked by getting S ranks on the challenge mode (I forget the mode's actual name). I worked my ass off for perfect grades on everything. No character creation. Lying bastards! I'm still considering getting a Japanese copy.

The newest character on Smash Bros reminds me of this game

Tiffany and the gym teacher was my squad

Big daddy top hat!!!

Is tekkaman known as technoman in the west.

When a tekken series?

how akira fits in street fighter V history?

I never get the Teddy Long reference

Why are retro games so intense?

Awesome channel, great vids. Would be better if you could spell the japanese name right.

The 3d crossover era meant there was so much lost potential. The 2d games from that era were some of the best games ever and most of the 3d games from the same time have aged terribly.

Key yo skay

Just say "Legion of Heroes" with a thick Japanese accent, and you get the subtitle of the first game.

Sakura origins 👍

Sub squad where you at??

Seriously need to bring this back. I really hope they don't release it like shit similar to sfv. It has slowly... I mean slowly became a decent SF game. SF4 dropped good right away. I don't understand how they f*cked up SFV so badly. I have serious fears for the next true capcom fighters after SFV and MVCI.

You opinions are not only toxic but they also they the worst thing I’ve heard.

There’s nothing tacky about it.

If I was capcom I would punch every one in tatsunoko that was asking and pushing the idea of making a game with them. If everything u said was right then it was a total shiitty deal. And they cant even sell their own game today... Only way is to homebrew wii and download it ilegally to play this one... I think they should kick all tatsunoko characters and references out of the game and invite other capcom champions and remake the game and release it for every console and pc. Since nobody played it and it can't be so hard since they are 80% finished already. And its wii graphics not even half as hard as todays 500.5043278793 poligons character. And it still looks good with this graphic today. And maybe make some new modes, and great single player content kind of like Injustice 2 or atleast a big world to go through stages as Soul Calibur 2. Because fighting games are so fking boring today there is 0000 single player content and all char's is always unlocked so not even arcade modes are funny to play today. I think they could do this easy within a month as they can release a new resident evil game every year. It would totally bring alot of peoples to play it. And maybe release it for Free2play and take money only for skins/icons same as League of Legends. Or 10$ or something. I think peoples would love it tell their friends to play with them. And experiment like make clans/gangs and ranked matches with ur friends. And invite obscure capcom characters megaman bosses or from their other not famous games. It would make ppls check out their other franchises and maybe buy more games. Man I wish I was a game developer I would totaly make 100 times better fighting games, 2D platformers, Dota, Strategic online games, MMO's. And I would make 1000.000 times better cartoon movies then these shitty ones thats released today. It seems like peoples are out of good ideas today or that hey became brain dead from all these radiation EMF from all phones and wifi's. Or maybe it's the GMO man made frankenstein "food" thats totally messed up. I feel sorry for the world and peoples that grow up today. They missed the no internet, no mobile phones Era. Also missed the NES, SNES, PS1, Tamagoshi Era. All who's born after 2000 I feel really sorry for u guys. U never experienced REAL life without internet. Im really happy to be born 91 so I atleast had epic childhood and PIMPED over 100 girls in 5 years when internet was new :D Sweden had the best community called Lunarstorm it was 200 times better then Facebook all was equal there. No likes on pictures. No algorythm. No censorship. Easy girls that looked really good and didnt sit with their phones 24/7. The world have changed so fast these last 30 years. I cant keep up any more. And all are "want to be popular/get many likes" hungry. So even me that hates this shiit sometimes feel like "maayn I also want more likes on facebook so peoples dont think im fake or have no friends or something". Thats totally fucced up. They should bann all algorythms and all likes/dislikes systems before more peoples are taking suicide to get rid of this shiit. (No I will never make suicide, its against my religion) but it must totally be 100 times worse to get nobbed for childrens in school. or be called fat etc. Before u could atleast relax when u was home. Now it just keep spreading on the internet so ALL CAN SEE. Maybe a girl do something wrong, or just falling or something and some1 take a film/photo of her/him n upload it on social media. All her classmates and whole school commenting "what a trash, whore, bi'ttch, its good this happend" maayn families have 2000 time more chance to break up these latest 20 years then before. I couldnt even have a family togheter for 11 years. My mom broke and destroyed our family and went on internet & started talking with random men's. This would not happen 50 years ago since she didnt have many friends so she was mostly with me and my sister/brother and father. I dont think this will change but it has totally made my life really shitty and depression the 8 recent years. I get maybe 1 like when I upload a new photo and others get 20.000 likes. I havent even heard "You are beutiful" for 10 years. And I look GOOD I am sexy I am a rapper I have good pictures. I cant imagine how it feels for someone that look worse or maybe have a problem, or being fat etc feels. I wish you all well and ur videos is great so much nostalgia and remeneccing on the good times

Rival schools was cool so was VS but neither one of them have anything on Bloody War

Dude your pronunciation of the names is so damn painful to listen to.
