Fight Morrigan or Nakoruru

If you selected Capcom Groove, you will face Morrigan. If you selected SNK Groove, you will face Nakoruru. (On the Sega Dreamcast version, you must first buy their shadows from the Secret Shop, numbers 63 and 64.)

Alternate Versus Points method
The ability to link the Sega Dreamcast version of Capcom vs. SNK with the Neo Geo Pocket Color version of SNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Millenium allows you to transfer Versus Points back and forth between the two games. It just so happens that there is a way to get 5000 points in SvC: MotM instantly, but you must have access to a second NGPC, and a copy of SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash with all 300 cards available. If you link a completed game of SvC: CFC to SvC: MotM, you will unlock every hidden fighter and gain 5000 vs. Points. You may then transfer those points to the CvS. Then erase the save file in SvC: MotM and link it to SvC: CFC to get those 5000 points back, and repeat the process.
