                         end. To get the hunters badge you want to go left and
                         follow the path around to the right behind the
                         building. You will reach a dead end with a fence. What
                         you need to do is jump sideways around the left side
                         of the fence over the water and land on the other
                         side.  After you do that follow the path and you will

00020.  HOW TO GET MODELS 1 & 2 FOR EACH CHARACTER
--------------------------------------------------

        The soul bomb technique can be performed by pressing the right trigger
        and the block button at the same time.  Performing the command will
        summon one of the virtua fighters onto the field and they will unleash
        a devastating attack.  Who you summon depends entirely on which
        character's virtua souls you use the most.  For example, if you go
        through a level and continuously use Akira's virtua soul moves you
        will summon Akira the next time you begin a stage.  It is important
        to note that you must complete the level in order for the virtua
        fighter who assists you to change.

        To obtain the first and second models for a character you must use the
        soul bomb technique to kill enemies.  They will randomly drop either
        a model 1 or a model 2 when they die.  The model will correspond with
        the character that was summoned for the attack.  To get all of the
        models for every character you will have to repeat a level several
        times over (once for each character).  I recommend stage 1 because
        there are a ton of health items in the level and you need health
        to perform the soul bomb technique.  Most of time time you will be
        able to get both models by the end of the second area.

        The basic flow to get all of the models as fast as possible might be:
             1.  Start a level, keep using Akira's virtua soul moves.
             2.  When the level ends Akira will be your assist character.
             3.  Start the level again.  Use the soul bomb to take out enemies.
             4.  Once you've received both of Akira's models continue to
                 play the level only this time start using another character's
                 virtua soul moves for the duration of the level.
             5.  When the level ends Akira will be replaced with the new
                 character.
             6.  Repeat from step 3 using the new character's soul bomb attack.
