I recall my best friend (r.i.p. /g.t.s.) showed up at school with this. It was Friday. His mom was wild so she let us use the big screen, back in the giant box tv days, ordered pizahut and played this game from 430p to 1p the followin day. He passed away a week after that. This gem will always remind me of him and how much i hated high school. Still delivers the same amazing feels it did bck then.
RIP too you're blood brother. Damn that's rough man, ya always have that time in you're minds eye. I lost contact with my best friend over the years from highschool. Rivial schools is the best game Capcom has ever made. Peace bro
HaHa I thought I was the only one who called it the capcom guitar. Well it's 2020 and Rival Schools Akira is now a street fighter 5 character. God i hope her stage has this track.
I was born in 1994. This was the first game I got on my PS1 in 1999. After more than 2 decades I faintly remembered "school fighting ps1" All those tracks kick me in the soul, jesus, what a life.
Same here, i'm born in 94 too, but i got my ps1 in 2002 ~2003. Here in Brazil, tech arrives late, not much now like was back in 90s or 2000s. And being little late compared from my friends, (they lived more the ps2 era than ps1). But i think i know what you talking I just love everything in this game, the songs, the drawings in loading screen, the character designs,the music from scenarios damm, even the voices was cool asf
This brings back so many memories, i used to play this game with a cousin who died a few years ago, this song reminds me when we were young and play rival schools for hours!
Oh man, hearing this original version brings back so many memories. I mean, the Tatsunoko VS Capcom version of this theme is awesome, but the original midi-esque version is simply badass!
I've never played this game, but listening to the soundtrack, I've gotta say, it's like cocaine for your ears. I can feel an unbridled surge of adrenaline.
You would think the admins would tell kids to quit fighting and get off the fucking roof only to see that you fight them too. Great fucking game and OST.
@@TheTrueBro My dad bought it for me back in 1997. That was because we passed it up at the game store. Capcom didnt actually advertise this game well in the first place.
The hotbloodeness! The passion! The complete misunderstanding of economics, having a family, responsibilty and finances!! The power of a teenager in a single tune. Love it.
I will never forget the day about a year ago when I found this game on the shelf on my local video game store for 7 bucks. I nearly shat myself. It's a damn shame this game and project justice are so expensive to get. Everyone deserves to play these great games in their native form.
Deze game was zo grappig, vooral die Roberto, hooghouden met 'n vechtertje inplaats van met de bal, daarna wegslaan met die honkballer was ook nog 'ns 'n tweede deel van verschenen op de Dreamcast maar die is erg zeldzaam, kon hem zelf niet op 't originele systeem spelen maar via 'n psx emulator, bleem genaamd, toendertijd gekocht in de shop
One of the first and best 3d fighters.. I think it was one of Capcom's 1st attempt at stepping into the 3d world of fighting games.. in fear of hurting the street fighter brand, they started with this, then polished up the SF EX games as the years went on.. also, because it's been so long, it think Akira from rival schools is looks a lil like Skullomania from SF EX with the biker suit on..
I actually remember getting a copy of this game in 2002 brand new for 20 bucks plus tax and I still have that copy in my personal collection. THough getting a physical copy of Project justice for Dreamcast cost near 100 to 200 USD on Ebay :(
Nothing felt better than pullign off tag special move on your buddy, sending him flying eg. with Shoma and Roberto. Hell, those tag moves were so damn cool we enacted them in school during pauses. I remeber running back and forth like Edge with his knife while my best friend pretended he's dying on his knees🤣.
@@pekonarukami9984 Estaba buscando esta canción a través de los años y solo había una versión ahsta que ya salieron esta y otras y hasta covers, mi canción favorita del juego. Y en cuanto a éste es excelente,una joya.
Imagine, this franchise returning after 11 years with enhanced 3d gameplay, tekken-like 3d models...and rock remakes of classic and iconic rival schools theme songs! THAT'S what i want! If you're watching capcom...BRING THIS BACK!!!
and here I'm in 2017 posting in a 8 years old video a comment that probably no one is going to read. Batsu and any other rival schools characters were not in Marvel vs Capcom 3 not in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and not in Marvel vs Capcon Infinite or the first season pass... I still hope to heard this awesome theme again in the future and be able to play as my favorite characters again :(
Batsu was in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom but Capcom wasn't responsible for the roster. Shame, Tatsunoko was the first to bring Zero, Batsu, Frank West, Alex, 3D Morrigan Aensland (Capcom never updated her sprite), Viewtiful Joe, and Megaman Volnutt to the crossover games. Capcom took Zero, Frank West, and Viewtiful Joe and updated them and dumped other characters. I personally loved Batsu even better than Ryu in that game and would have loved to see him (Akira was also supposed to be in the game too) and Megaman Volnutt, as well as some PowerStone characters in other crossover games but Capcom doesn't seem interested in anything that has to do with anything that isn't Street Fighter, Megaman, or Devil May Cry right now.
still my favourite fighting game even 20 years after, i remember being a stupid 7y.o trying to learn Edge's combos instead of doing maths, i miss Rival Schools so much.
I can't fathem that this game and marvel vs Capcom and x men vs street fighter and all those classic Capcom fighters are going for small fortune's nowadays I would've never guessed that back in the 90s when these were released the days of hollywood video, blockbuster man those were the days 👍
Rival Schools demo in pocket Fighter!!! Batsu & Hinata vs Roy & Tiffany. OMG, the Best Memories ever. My brothers and me love this demo and love the game too. And this song is awesome.
Got a PlayStation Classic and Modded and was able to get this Masterpiece On it! It’s a damn shame it faded into irrelevance Cuz this was Such a Dope Fighter 😭😭
I'd say yeah but they probably will make it shitty like they did re3 remake smfh or they will just ignore all the fans like they have been with remaking dino crisis I know alot of fans have been asking and they just ignore us same as Konami with a metal gear solid remake for ps5 game companies just don't care about the fans and customers who made them who they are today it's a shame
Every Rival Schools fan reading this: buy Akira when she becomes available in Street Fighter V so Capcom get the message that there's a big audience for Rival Schools 3!
Very good music by Capcom, such as Guile's Theme or Ken's Theme or Mike Bison's (I mean the Las Vegas boxer, not the thailand dictator, depends on countries, in some versions the boxer is called Balrog) theme from Street Fighter 2 :-) !
I recall my best friend (r.i.p. /g.t.s.) showed up at school with this. It was Friday.

Sorry for the loss. Got some dope memories though.
My condolences to great past memories and a friend
Your friend left you a great deal to remember! I can tell you that much!
RIP too you're blood brother.
Damn that's rough man, ya always have that time in you're minds eye.
I lost contact with my best friend over the years from highschool. Rivial schools is the best game Capcom has ever made. Peace bro
Oof.😢
One of the most underrated fighters of all time. What a complete gem of a game.
i agree 100%
And Well packed, miss fighters games with such content
@@diegosotomiranda4107 even rival school private justice in ps 2 was good.
Maybe so, but not as much of a gem as updating the autopsy report.
Totally related, btw. Same artist for both games.
you are goddamn right!
I freakin' love that "Capcom guitar" that's in all those games like Marvel vs Capcom, Mega Man X, and U.N. Squadron.
Same
Capcom had some of the best music for its games
My favorite theme song on this game I would like an extended version.
HaHa I thought I was the only one who called it the capcom guitar. Well it's 2020 and Rival Schools Akira is now a street fighter 5 character. God i hope her stage has this track.
UN Squadron, a man of culture
I LOVE that iconic Megaman guitar.. I can't even call it nostalgia.. it just never ceases to get old for me :)
If you didn’t get to play this in the 90’s, you missed something very special.
I played it in 2001 or 2002 and this game was still a head if time around that time. 🔥
I played this 🎮 sense my childhood from 🏫 👍 times
Facts 🫵🏽
Had this in 1998, still think its the best Capcom game ever made.
Ok then 🤷♀️
This game had so much heart!
yeah its one of the best. kinda of missing gem also
no game has dobles like rival schools, what kinda feels its the the tag attack in doa
It does bro
I was born in 1994.
This was the first game I got on my PS1 in 1999.
After more than 2 decades I faintly remembered "school fighting ps1"
All those tracks kick me in the soul, jesus, what a life.
1995 personally but keep good memories on it.
I still own this Gem and Project Justice
Same here, i'm born in 94 too, but i got my ps1 in 2002 ~2003.
Here in Brazil, tech arrives late, not much now like was back in 90s or 2000s.
And being little late compared from my friends, (they lived more the ps2 era than ps1).
But i think i know what you talking
I just love everything in this game, the songs, the drawings in loading screen, the character designs,the music from scenarios damm, even the voices was cool asf
Classic fighting game theme song man, takes me right back to 97’
Sounds like that "Oooh heaven is a place on Earth" song a little bit
That sad moment when your school doesn't have a rooftop...
only in japan
Fun fact: Japan school rooftops are strictedly closed for students
This brings back so many memories, i used to play this game with a cousin who died a few years ago, this song reminds me when we were young and play rival schools for hours!
Seeing Akira being added to SFV made me wanna come back and listen to this track from my favourite Fighting Game franchise 💪
90s Capcom OST awesome! FTW!
Damn right :3
My favorite theme song on this game I would like an extended version.
What is wtf? I'm not native.
Oh man, hearing this original version brings back so many memories. I mean, the Tatsunoko VS Capcom version of this theme is awesome, but the original midi-esque version is simply badass!
My favorite theme song on this game I would like an extended version.
The original rival school ost has more emotion amd atmosphere
This game inspired me to form a gang and fight other gangs from other schools. lol
Lmao ikr
@Black Chandelier Mirage got our asses handed to us. Lol
Wassup then
tokyo revengers origins
@@largemarge2098 Kind of 😂🤣
This track always filled me with...*determination.*
why would that be
Ephraim225
Because this game's soundtrack is smack dab in the middle of that twangy Butt Rock era of Capcom; like Mega Man X and Cyberbots.
It's like a Rocky Soundtrack for U.
@@Ephraim225 if youre not getting that from this jam, youre not listening to this jam correctly friend-
The feeeeeeels...Childhood gem.
7/10/23: this PS1 Capcom fighter was a gem. So many diverse fighting styles. At 39 if this game gets rereleased for the PS4 or 5 I will obtain it.
Game had so much soul. Shame they forget about gems like this.
One of the best video game musics ! ! !
I agree. my ex girlfriend gave me this game
My favorite theme song on this game I would like an extended version.
Yessss.
I've never played this game, but listening to the soundtrack, I've gotta say, it's like cocaine for your ears. I can feel an unbridled surge of adrenaline.
I know I’m a year late, but the song isn’t even as good as the game, almost- but imagine playing the game and the song is playing too
You would think the admins would tell kids to quit fighting and get off the fucking roof only to see that you fight them too. Great fucking game and OST.
Some games just had unbelievable soundtracks, wow. This scores Gran Turismo and Ridge Racer tier haha, fantastic songs on this
This is probably the best track in this game and one of the best songs in video game history!
In video game history? u need to chill
@@dreadxplayzs7849 Thou art mad.
Rival Schools 3 now,Capcom
hopefully batsu will make a return in MvCI
***** i dont want a MVC Batsu,i want a RS3 complete.
TheDavezgz Capcom will consider your petition when the fanbase buys the games.
AKA never. Game did poorly in sales outside Japan.
@@TheTrueBro wasn't marketed properly by capcom
@@TheTrueBro My dad bought it for me back in 1997. That was because we passed it up at the game store. Capcom didnt actually advertise this game well in the first place.
This is SO FUCKING 90'S; I LOVE IT. God damn, its so fucking good it HURTS.
Memories right here!! Capcom Soundtracks were sooo fire back then.
The hotbloodeness! The passion! The complete misunderstanding of economics, having a family, responsibilty and finances!! The power of a teenager in a single tune. Love it.

I have Brave Fence Musashi if u interested?
This masterpiece will always be my favorite Fighting Game of all time , And the epic pipe organ music will stuck forever in my head.
It's fighing not beat them up.
@@piedramultiaristas8573 thanks, the genre Fighting Games sounds anyway better :D
Deze game was zo grappig, vooral die Roberto, hooghouden met 'n vechtertje inplaats van met de bal, daarna wegslaan met die honkballer
was ook nog 'ns 'n tweede deel van verschenen op de Dreamcast maar die is erg zeldzaam, kon hem zelf niet op 't originele systeem spelen maar via 'n psx emulator, bleem genaamd, toendertijd gekocht in de shop
That Mega Man X Guitar!
We need more music like this in modern games...please Capcom.
The signature sound of 90s capcom
^THIS!
I LOVE that guitair :D Pure nostalgia!
One of my favorites after 15 yrs thnx for posting!!!
Rival School is OFFICIALLY BACK!!!!!!!!!! Thank you CAPCOM
This gives me nostalgia despite only having played this game a few months ago.
One of the first and best 3d fighters.. I think it was one of Capcom's 1st attempt at stepping into the 3d world of fighting games.. in fear of hurting the street fighter brand, they started with this, then polished up the SF EX games as the years went on.. also, because it's been so long, it think Akira from rival schools is looks a lil like Skullomania from SF EX with the biker suit on..
i thought no one else saw that.
I Miss this Game !! still have some hope for a current gen version :'(
me too, this is a great game.
PlayStation 5 will play this game 😊
godidier *cough* SF5? *cough*
Very Dope and favorite track off Rival Schools. Yes Sir!!!! At That!!!
Wow I remember playing this game repeatedly as a kid wish it made a bigger impact such a underated fighting game
Interesting how many games were in the same universe as Street Fighter; Rival Schools, Final Fight and Slam Masters (possibly even Darkstalkers).
Yeah interesting.
My childhood ...
i miss it so much.
I used to play this game just for this soundtrack.
This game represents how me and the boys remember high school being like
One of the funnest fighting game that capcom should've make a comeback for this game.
for some reason I like this more than tekken 3 when I was a kid
I miss this game...
best fighting game ever
Don't know about the best, but definitely up there! I loved playing this game back in the day. If they made a new one...DAMN!!!
agree
I actually remember getting a copy of this game in 2002 brand new for 20 bucks plus tax and I still have that copy in my personal collection. THough getting a physical copy of Project justice for Dreamcast cost near 100 to 200 USD on Ebay :(

Batsu has also been in Project X Zone.
After akira's inclusion in SFV i hope capcom adds more Rival Schools characters in the SF saga (since a return of RS is literally impossible)
They put Terry and my in SF 6 any thing is possible now
Not impossible 😂😂😂
Love it for me the memorable track in the game!🤜
still my favourite fighting game even 20 years after, i remember being a stupid 7y.o trying to learn Edge's combos instead of doing maths, i miss Rival Schools so much.
This is my all-time favorite fighting game!

O
Well, I'm a 90's teen and I'm still enjoying the music and fights on this game.
Sentimentality 😢
Tempos bons da minha infância 😭
Rival Schools is a mix between Street Fighter, The King of Fighters and Tekken.
I’m not sure which Ghostface killer this is lol, but I think this game is Basically baby street fighter EX alpha, I love this game
First game I bought. I still have the CD

I'm still a bit disappointed Capcom didn't re-release this game as a remaster collection or added to the Capcom Fighting Collection
Hyped for Akira in SFV

this game deserves a remake come on capcom
Breath of fire 3 also 🥹

Aaaah memories of playing the demo that came with the official UK PS1 magazine.
Rival Schools demo in pocket Fighter!!! Batsu & Hinata vs Roy & Tiffany. OMG, the Best Memories ever. My brothers and me love this demo and love the game too. And this song is awesome.
Got a PlayStation Classic and Modded and was able to get this Masterpiece On it! It’s a damn shame it faded into irrelevance Cuz this was Such a Dope Fighter 😭😭
This is song is incredibly heroic :)
CALLING ALL RIVAL SCHOOLS FANS:if you want to tell capcom that we want a rival schools 3,then tweet at itsuno-san's tweeter using the #RivalSchools3
I'd say yeah but they probably will make it shitty like they did re3 remake smfh or they will just ignore all the fans like they have been with remaking dino crisis I know alot of fans have been asking and they just ignore us same as Konami with a metal gear solid remake for ps5 game companies just don't care about the fans and customers who made them who they are today it's a shame
Straight up banger.
Attention everyone akria just got in street fighter 5. Guys
WOOOOOOO YEAH BABY THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
So who’s here after that SFV announcement?
MEEEEEEEE, hate we gotta wait a year tho lol
That Guy oh you beat me to it
I played the living hell out of this game. Boy, does it scream 90's! 😭
Bought this week at a shop.
Worth it.
FOR WHAT EXISTS IN ALL SPACES, TIMES, DIMENSIONS AND UNKNOWN !
I was happy when Akira was added to SFV but bummed this theme wasn't used 😭😭😭😭
WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK
Every Rival Schools fan reading this: buy Akira when she becomes available in Street Fighter V so Capcom get the message that there's a big audience for Rival Schools 3!
ZENKAAAAIII KIAIDAAAAAN!!
rival schools collection?
where can i find more music like this, that old timey music that pumps you up
Roberto Shoma Hideo Kyosuke Batsu.. this game was the truth
Imagine if you return to jr high school and this theme plays ,knowing what will happen years later
Who’s here because Akira from Rival Schools in Street Fighter V?
Man the chills!
I was hoping for Rival Schools over Project Justice but I'll take it!
Should have gave us both
By far my favorite fighting game of all time
Interesting how this level was in the demo but nobody from Taiyo High was.
2021 also THE LIVING EMBODEMENT OF 90'S FIGHTING GAME THEMES THAT!!!! GUITAR!!!!! I FUCKING LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
este juego sera mi favorito hasta cuando me muera me trae tantos recuerdos viva rival school
Very good music by Capcom, such as Guile's Theme or Ken's Theme or Mike Bison's (I mean the Las Vegas boxer, not the thailand dictator, depends on countries, in some versions the boxer is called Balrog) theme from Street Fighter 2 :-) !
@elrockyracoon i never knew this song was remade i'll have to hear that version
