Creators: Capcom Fighting Games & Playing Cards Design

After the enthusiastic reception of the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Tarot Cards, designer Hinanana designed an all-new deck celebrating Capcom’s iconic fighting franchises: Capcom Fighting Legends Playing Cards. We featured this beautifully crafted deck on Kardify earlier this year.

The deck brings together four legendary Capcom titles, each represented by one of the suits:

♣ Clubs – Street Fighter

♠ Spades – Red Earth

♥ Hearts – Darkstalkers

♦ Diamonds – Cyberbots: Fullmetal Madness

According to Hinanana, on Capcom's Creator Comment post,

Like the tarot cards, every aspect of these playing cards—suits, characters, and even the box design—features original illustrations. I aimed to capture the unique appeal of each character while preserving the timeless charm of traditional playing cards. Each character is presented in Western-inspired apparel, with suits and aces tailored to match their respective games.

 

Collaborating with the US-based playing card brand Bicycle was an absolute dream come true for Hinanana as a long-time fan of their work. 

I designed the special box entirely from scratch to ensure it complemented the cards perfectly, rather than relying on a standard template.

 

Hinanana continues,

With this deck covering such an array of titles, I hope it resonates with fans of Capcom’s rich fighting game legacy. I would love for everyone to find their favorite card within the collection. Personally, my favorite is the Queen of Hearts, representing the Darkstalkers suit—it holds a special place in my heart.

 

I can’t wait to see how these cards are received within the fighting game community. Whether you’re a collector or a player, I hope these cards bring joy and nostalgia while honoring the spirit of Capcom’s games.

The Capcom Fighting Legends deck is a love letter to fighting game history... full of nostalgia, style, and spirit. Available now on Capcom Games for $15.
