Rival Schools - United By Fate is a 3D competitive fighting game produced by Capcom originally released as an arcade game in 1997 and ported to the PlayStation in 1998.
Around the world, High School students are mysteriously disappearing. Police, parents, school officials, and even national governments can not determine who or what is to blame. But the students themselves refuse to surrender to fear -- "We'll protect our schools" they cry. To do so, they'll need to enter fierce hand-to-hand battles featuring powerful combo-attacks and tag-team tactics.
Rival Schools is a team-oriented 3D fighter featuring an assortment of characters, many recognizable as exaggerations of familiar High School stereotypes. Find a new use for baseball player Shoma's bat or outflank the competition with the fast attacks of cheerleader Tiffany. Harness the violent tendencies of the hyperactive Edge or unleash a precision beating with the quiet, bespectacled Kyosuke.
The main fighting game is best described as a polygonal Marvel vs. Capcom game, with some notable differences. Control wise, the game varies from other Capcom fighting games by only having four buttons (two punches and two kicks, which is closer to the SNK game format) rather than the standard six.
A player chooses a team of two characters, and fights against another two character team. The actual fights, however, are one-on-one fights, with the partner only participating by being called in when a player has enough 'vigor' for a Team Up attack, done by pressing a punch and kick button of the same pressure.
