## Synopsis

*It's a time-honored tradition In high school that your senior class takes a week-long trip somewhere, and nothing makes a teacher jump for Joy like the chance to drag you off to one boring museum after another for several days in a row. The town of Kyouto seems to have been made with that purpose in mind, with Its traditional temples, royal gardens, and a rich cultural history that draws In tourists from around the world. Don't get this confused with another city named Kyoto; that's an entirely different place that has Its own traditional temples, royal gardens, and rich cultural history that draws in tourists from around the world.*

*As If being bored to tears for an entire week wasn't bad enough, it seems that every school in Japan's had the same Idea, and now the city is simply swarming with high school kids. You're the toughest dude at your school, but how can you prove your dominance over the entire nation's worth of wannabe badasses? The answer is simple: a week-long, no-holds-barred, city-wide badass rumble to determine the true king of banchos in all Japan! You want to know who you're fighting?* **(Quoted from North American website)**

## Gameplay

### *Open-Ended Gameplay*

*Yeah, there's a plot. So what? You want some game telling you what to do all the time? I don't. Your time is limited in Kyouto, and every day your class heads off to some boring shrine or another to learn about candles or tree spirits or other crap. You can go if you're into that sort of thing, but you don't have to. Wander around town and get in fights. Search for UFOS and hidden treasure. Or just stay in your room all week; see if I care.*

### *Forty-Seven Banchos to Demolish, Then Recruit*

*You'll never be the best if you don't destroy everyone who challenges you. Each prefecture in Japan has its own champion to knock down, and every one is out for your blood, too.*

*The Kyouto Badass Rumble operates under the "peon" rule: If you're defeated, you have to become the servant of whoever beat you for the rest of the week. Of course, you're much too cool to be anybody's mook, but don't sniff at the chance to get someone on your side. You can call up any one of the banchos you've beaten and make them fight at your side, and trust me, you'll need the extra help.*

### *Renovate Your Ass*

*The classic bancho look might be a long uniform coat and a sullen expression, but don't let that stop you from coming up with some new fashion statements of your own. The Miyabi Barber and Kagura Threads shops are always willing to help you find that perfect form of self-expression. From hats and haircuts to shirts and pants (or no pants), you can find what you need to strike fear in the hearts of your enemies.*

### *Show Me Your Moves!*

*You'll start off knowing the basic one-two punches and kicks, but as you keep kicking asses and taking names you'll learn more and more ways to bust heads and look cool doing it. Do you fight fair? How about a fighting style consisting of nothing but slaps to the face? Dare you go for the groin?*

*In addition to standard moves, every bancho learns a secret technique known only to his prefecture known as the "Local Specialty." You'll start off knowing your hometown's Specialty, and as you amass peons you'll learn their special moves, too.*
