The Street Fighter's 30th anniversary brought you tarot cards; now, we're introducing playing cards to the field. These awesome cards feature symbols that correspond to different titles!

• ♣:Street Fighter
• ♠:Red Earth
• ♥:Darkstalkers
• ♦:Cyberbots: Fullmetal Madness

Like the tarot cards, these cards as well as their suits and the box design feature original illustrations. I wanted to bring to you everything that makes the characters so special, while also preserving the classic feel of playing cards. Characters appear in Western apparel, with each suit and all aces individually designed to fit their associated titles. I partnered with the US playing-card brand Bicycle, which as a huge fan of them really made me happy. Instead of using the standard template, I designed the special box from scratch. With the cards covering a range of titles and appealing to a variety of fans, I really hope they cause a sensation in the fighting game community. It would be wonderful to see people discovering their favorite card. Incidentally, my personal favorite is the Queen of Hearts.
