Rival Schools: United by Fate 1997

Is it still worth playing?

Capcom's 1997 3D fighting game, first an arcade game and a year later on the PlayStation, with a comical story about groups of students from rival schools in a Japanese city. It centers on Batsu and his friends at Taiyo High School. You choose a team of two characters, and the fights are one on one: your partner joins in only when you have enough vigor for a Team Up attack, offensive or defensive. It uses four buttons, two punches and two kicks, and a Tardy Counter lets you counterattack at once from a block. The PlayStation version adds minigames, extra costumes and tournament modes. A partner you call in at the right moment still makes every round a decision about when to spend vigor.
