ABOUT THIS GUIDE

I decided to write this guide in order to make it easier for everyone to
collect all of the items available.  Initially this was just a translation of
a guide found on a number of Japanese web sites (I primarily used the one
here, http://homepage3.nifty.com/taka-san/vf4/index4.html,) but after it was
discovered that many of the methods listed were incorrect it has also come to
include corrections, the vast majority of which were found or deciphered from
the people of the GameFaqs VF 4 message board.  Also, many of the proper
English item names were derived from a post on GameFaqs made by strychnine.

HISTORY

v. 1.0:  First version, all characters included but still needs correcting.

I.    Common Terms and General Explanation


     Use Vs. Mode:

The vast majority of items are obtainable not only in Kumite mode but also in
Vs. Mode.  This is useful for certain conditions which you may find difficult
to achieve while fighting in Kumite mode.  A quick example of this is in
obtaining an item which requires for your character to get struck by Sarah's
Gattling kick and still win the match.  While in Vs. Mode you need only
perform the Gattling kick yourself using the 2P controller and then proceed
to use your 1P character to win the match.  You will then have gained your
item.

     BA Item:

BA Item stands for Battle Arena Item.  It means that this item is only
available in Kumite mode and is gained by defeating an opponent who possesses
it.

     Vision Sphere Item:

These items are gained by collecting seven different colored spheres from
High King rank opponents.  When you collect all seven you will gain your
Vision Sphere Item.  A few characters have multiple Vision Sphere Items.
When there is more than one Vision Sphere Items, the ones which you are able
to gain after the first are referred to as "Secondary Vision Sphere Item."
