I chose this game because the first fighting game I played for PSX around 1997 so I decided to pay homage to another non-mainstream game. One of my old classic favorites! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Legend: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ U = Up UF = Up-Forward F = Forward DF = Down-Forward D = Down DB = Down-Back B = Back UB = Back QCF = Quarter-Circle Forward QCB = Quarter-Circle Back HCF = Half-Circle Forward HCB = Half-Circle Backward P = Punch LP = Light Punch HP = Hard Punch K = Kick LK = Light Kick HK = Hard Kick ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Characters: *Due to time-related issues, I didn't add in the Command Normals sub-section, too much to research as it was not listed in the instruction manual and movelist in the pause menu. *All special moves can relate to the Arcade Disc for PSX, didn't include the moves listed also on the Evolution Disc because I'm listing it in my Arcade column on my Gamefaqs Contribution page. It was also too much research in that category also. *All Burning Vigor Attacks costs 1 meter and all Team-Up Techniques costs 2 meters. Each team can have a maximum of 9 meters. *Each character has 2 endings; a good one and a bad one. In order to get the good ending, get up to Chapter 7 and beat either Raizo, his partner, or both and you MUST do this with a Team-Up Technique. After that, there'll be a final chapter and you'll face the real boss, Hyo. Beat him and the real character endings and credits will appear. Failure to do that will show a character portrait over Raizo with a short dialog, which is the bad ending. Rememeber that these are the endings appearing in the Arcade version, not the Arcade Disc for PSX. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1) Taiyo High School: *Batsu Ichimonji: Batsu is introduced as a hot-headed new transfer student to Taiyo.

However, it turns out Kyosuke is working for the organizers of the kidnappings and attacks, Justice High School, specifically his uncle Raizo Imawano and twin older brother (and true mastermind) Hyo Imawano. In fact, Kyosuke was the one who kidnapped Batsu's mother, Shizuku. However, his work with Batsu and Hinata slowly convinced him that Hyo's way to reform society through force was not the best route to take. Eventually, he comes clean about his loyalties to his class- mates, and tells them about Hyo's plans. The trio eventually faces off against both Raizo, followed by Hyo, both of whom they defeat.

At Gedo High, she picks two of her brother's closest sub- ordinates, Edge and Gan Isurugi to help find out what happened to Daigo, doing her best to hide her true identity from the gangsters. Eventually, they find that Daigo has become a brainwashed slave of Hyo Imawano, and free him from the brainwashing. Akira finally reveals her true identity to her new friends, much to the surprise of Edge and Gan. Akira's biker disguise is the costume she starts out with at the start of Rival Schools, and the game for the most part assumes her to be male, with the game's text referring to her as male, and the revelation that she is female only unveiled in her 'good ending' in the game. An Akira without the helmet and with a tank top instead of a biker jacket can be unlocked as a separate character, with similar, but not entirely the same moves as 'original' Akira; most notably, her two-person team up attack is different. Interestingly, this new team-up attack is mostly identical to the method EVA-01 and EVA-02 used to defeat Israfel in the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion.

He is about to leave for the US with Tiffany Lords when his father calls him and asks him to investigate the kidnappings happening at other schools. Joined by Tiffany and Boman Delgado, Roy leads an investigation to find out the persons behind the kid- napping. This investigation leads him and his friends to Justice High School, where they were defeated, and turned into brainwashed slaves to the school. Eventually, through the help of Batsu Ichimonji and other students, Roy and his friends manage to snap out of their brainwashing and help bring down Justice High School's plans. Though he initially saw the investiagation to get revenge on the Japanese (his grandfather had been shot in the leg by a Japanese soldier in World War II, something which left Roy bitter about the country) and prove American superiority, the experience humbled Roy quite a bit. His experience, as well as being freed by and working with the students from Taiyo High School, led to Roy putting aside his hatred for the Japanese (aside from having a friendly rivalry with Batsu) and working toward a goal of peace and cooperation.

In a report they recieved regarding the com- pletetion of their inverstigation, it had been stated that Justice High School may not have been totally destoryed. Although Roy desperately wished to return home, he somehow felt attached to this country. He remembered how friendships had been made through fierece battles, and he felt as though an important international relationship had been restablished. As Roy tore the investigation report to pieces, his face showed a new smile and fighting spirit. Good Ending: Tiffany: Roy, what's up? We're going home now! Why do you look so gloomy? Roy: Well...It's nothing. Tiffany: Hee hee hee! I knew it, Roy. You don't wanna leave Batsu and his friends behind, do you? Roy: It's strange...I've hated this country so much, but in the end... Tiffany: It's not too late! Should we cancel our flight? Roy: No, I'm going back to America. I know how I'll be able to help them. Tiffany: What? What do you mean? Roy: Tiffany, I can't tell you yet... 20 years later, Roy became the president of the United States. Through his efforts, the relationship between Batsu's country and U.S. improved dramatically, and years of economical friction were put to rest. Both countries would benefit greatly from the leadership of a man who knew first-hand, the importance of cooperation, and friendship. *Tiffany Lords: At the start of Rival Schools, Tiffany is introduced with her friend and classmate Roy. Like Roy, she is about to leave for the United States when Roy is ordered to stay in Japan to investigate the recent school kidnappings. Tiffany tags along in his investigation to help out, but secretly wanted to spend time with Roy and hopefully impress him. She, Roy and Boman are eventually captured and turned into brainwashed agents of Justice High School, though they are eventually freed by students from Taiyo High School. After the defeat of Justice High, Tiffany is disappointed by Roy's decision to return to the United States to study for a future in politics, but resolves to train to be a bodyguard so she can always be with him.

been stated that Justice High School may not have
been totally destoryed. Although her dad promised
that he would do everything to make her happy once
she returned to the United States, she realized that 
leaving the country would not be right for her. She
no longer cares about what others can do for her, but 
instead, she cares about what she can do for others. 
Her beloved friends and Roy are in this country.
Tiffany's new attitude brought forth the spirit and
face of a young woman, ready to take on the world.

Good Ending:
Tiffany: Roy, you're so mean! It's so not cool for you to
leave me behind, just because want to go to Harvard and

thought of a great idea!

and told me that she wants to be a bodyguard now. I'll
hardly get to see her.

depend upon you too much.
Tiffany's Father: Yes, that's true. But my life will be so
lonely, once she doesn't need me anymore.
Secretary: Hee hee! Then perhaps you are the spoiled
one, after all...
Tiffany: Wait up, Roy! I'll be protecting you for the rest
of your life!



*Boman Delgado:

When Roy and Tiffany set out to investigate the violence 
and kidnappings on other schools, Boman joins them, 
albiet reluctantly because he knew violence during their 
investigation was inevitable, despite his personal beliefs. 
Along with his friends, he is captured and brainwashed 
into being an agent for Justice High School, but later freed 
by students from Taiyo High School. The investigation 
convinces Boman that many of the Japanese are good 
people and he later chooses to stay in Japan to continue 
his education, while Roy and Tiffany return to the United 
States.

sure that the threat still exists. At first, Boman detested
the country for the lack of beliefs. Now, he has seen that
the people here have a strong sense of compassion.
Boman realized that this country is no longer unfamiliar
and alien to him. He also knows that he will have to fight
once again, for the lives of his dear friends...
 
Good Ending:
Tiffany: What? You don't want to return to the states
anymore?
Boman: That's right, Tiffany. I misunderstood the people in 
this country, and thought they had no respect for beliefs
and values. Of course there are some bad people. But there
are good ones too. I think we've all learned that from or
battles. I wish to stay in this country as a preacher. I'll do
my best to function as a bridge between the two countries.
Roy: I understand. We'll miss you, and we'll do our best
when we get back. Take care of yourself, okay?
Tiffany: You go, Boman!

it with a louder voice!

you, I, of the ninth grade of Karate, will punish them

Kyoko: Thank you! It's comforting to know that you'll
be around.



*Raizo Imawano:

Raizo would accept his nephew, Hyo, as a student at the 
school. Noticing the young man's potential, Raizo thought 
Hyo as the perfect person to replace him as the head of 
Justice High School and to realize his dreams. However, 
Hyo's training under his now-dead father Mugen had given 
the young man a different ideal on how to realize his dream - 
namely through force. It would be Hyo who formulated 
the plan to increase Justice's influence through kidnappings 
and attacks; and with Hyo's twin bother, Kyosuke, working 
with them, Raizo would be an unwilling particpant in some 
of these activities; most notably capturing his estranged 
wife, Shizuku, who was now working at a local school. Soon, 
Raizo confronted Hyo about his ambitions, but it was in 
vain, as he was defeated and brainwashed to fight his son, 
Batsu. It was only through his defeat could father and son 
be reunited and stop Hyo's mad plans with help from Taiyo 
High School.

*Raizo has only one ending.
Batsu: Are you okay, f...father...?
Raizo: What happened to my students?
Batsu: Don't worry. They have been released from the
brainwashing, have gone back to their normal lives.
Raizo: Oh, okay...I built my school to change this
country...But I nolonger care about that...Now if my
students can grow and learn to become respected 
citizens. The students I had...One could say that
they could not be respected...They all were brain-
washed so easily...Perhaps they were useless after
all! 
Batsu: I don't think so. The other day I had a chance
to look over some of the textbooks at your school,
and I could not understand them one bit. Since your
students are smart enough to be able to understand
them, I guess they are much more useful to the society
than myself, right?
Raizo: Ha! Yes, that's true! I shouldn't be so hard on
myself. Okay, then! I'mleaving the hospital today. I'll
begin a new kind of training for my students, starting
tomorrow. Their minds need to be strong, as well as
smart! And Batsu, it's not acceptable that you don't
understand my school's textbooks! You'll have to
really study! I'll show you!
Batsu: What? No thanks dad! Gotta go!




*Hyo Imawano:

Hyo enrolled at Justice High School, the academy run by 
his uncle, Raizo Imawano. Hyo quickly established himself 
as the top student of the school, and became the school's 
student president. While Raizo thought Hyo would be perfect 
to succeed him as head of Justice High School and continue 
the school's goal or reforming the world, Hyo (still influenced 
by his father's lessons) believed that the only way to fix the 
world was through force and coercion.

Hyo would be the one that formulated the plan to increase 
Justice's influence through kidnapping and brainwashing, 
and gained support from Raizo, as well as his estranged 
brother Kyosuke (now a student at Taiyo High School). 
Initially, the plan succeeded wildly. Hyo even brainwashed 
his own uncle when Raizo brought up objections about the 
plan. However, Hyo soon found that his brainwashing was 
failing in the face of the very things he tried to eliminate, 
friendship and love. Eventually, Hyo himself faced down 
students from Taiyo High, including his brother Kyosuke 
and long-lost cousin Batsu, and was defeated. However, 
the defeat allowed Kyosuke to reach out to Hyo and 
convince him that the world could be changed through 
friendship, not in spite of it.

ENDINGS:
Bad Ending:
With the defeat of Raizo, the captured students returned
to their schools after being released from their brainwashing.
Peace was restored to the schools, and students could be
happy and free once again. However, Sakura thinks to
herself about what had happened. She did not feel the
usual sense of accomplishment after defeating Raizo,
who had been among the strongest of opponents. She
knows that the threat still exists, and may challenge her
at anytime. As Sakura trains herself for the dangers ahead, 
her pride as a Street Fighter can be seen, stronger than 
ever.


Good Ending:
Sakura: Will, it looks like there's nothing left to be worried
about! These schools won't be able the victims of attacks
anymore! What? What's happening to me? My body feels
a new sensation...It feels as though it is being rejuvenated
with power! I've never felt this way after regular street
fighting...Why...? Hmm...The only difference was that I was
fighting to protect my school...Now I understand! That
must be the feeling that comes from the real fight! He must
also be fighting...fighting for something important to him...
What about me...? What will I fight for now...? Oh well, it
doesn't matter now! Maybe I'll think about it after my 
next battle!

Props to those who made this guide possible:

Me for indivually reading the movelist in the pause menu
and capping the endings from my TV screen and typing it 
down here as it hurts my fingers like hell but it gets the job 
done very well. One of the best 3D fighters made by Capcom 
(wasn't much a fan of Street Fighter EX series but I liked 
Project Justice and Plasma Sword) and certainly enjoyed 
playing it non-stop in the late '90s.Another non-mainstream 
game on my list and I'd like to dedicate it to those unorthodox 
and low-tier fighters out there and also my non-mainstream 
homeboy Jeron Grayson.

Psychochronic says whether it's mainstream like Capcom
vs. SNK 2, dead like Capcom Fighting Evolution, non-
mainstream like Vampire Savior or classic like Street
Fighter II: Champion Edition, step up and do your thing 
for the fighting game community by reaching out and 
competing in various events around your area. Get out of 
your couch and make a name for yourself in the scene!

Peace.
