Capcom finally admits they goofed up when they took out the free characters for the Vita version without informing people about it. Lots of complaints by Vita owners of the game when they found out Capcom pulled a bait-and-switch move once they bought their game.
Capcom went so far to even lock out people who bought the characters on the PS3 from using them on the Vita version.
Although Capcom is fixing the mess by giving away the free characters for both the physical and digital versions of the game.
