Rival Schools: United by Fate
psFighting
Rival Schools: United by Fate is a 3D arcade fighting game developed and published by Capcom. It follows students from several Japanese schools as they investigate mysterious kidnappings and battle rival teams. Matches use responsive one-on-one combat with a second character available for team attacks and assists. The game combines traditional fighting-game fundamentals with a colorful school-life setting, comic-book presentation, and story-driven arcade routes. Its energetic cast, unusual team mechanics, and strong audiovisual style earned it a lasting cult reputation, although its PlayStation release was less widely distributed than Capcom's larger Street Fighter and Marvel titles.

| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
