Too bad I have no Microsoft Points.

But anyway, as someone else said, you need to buy both customizations bundle packs to use the Special Training/Sparring? Is this correct?

[Beat]

I'm contemplating whether I should purchase this. I need to make sure I have enough money for Rhythm Thief and I want to get Bayonetta eventually too, but I'd love to get this and Alex Kidd in Miracle World once I get another PSN card.

Yes, I believe so. Check out VFDC (virtuafighter.com) for a whole bunch of forums related to VF.

Bought Complete Edition from PSN and is having fun with it, but how do I get more item points for more character customization? 10 points is too limiting
