Street Fighter NFT Cards

After I posted about Alien Worlds a week ago I didn't have much time to spend on the game but I did stick around to see what else is going on on the Wax blockchain. I noticed they had pinned a tweet on their Twitter (which I recently took a break from but habits die hard so I keep browsing it now and then still) about a new NFT trading card game that's launching there soon which brought back some nostalgia from the old Super Nintendo days.

Here is the trailer:

Buying packs will be available in 6 days, the catch here is that you'll only be able to purchase them with credit cards, not crypto (wax). I'm still pretty excited about this, this is a legit partnership between Capcom and Wax and after seeing how well NBATopShot did with their licensed NFT Moments I think these will do pretty well too, even though Wax isn't as famous as ETH for NFT's it surely is more usable now considering the fees ETH is suffering from at this moment in time. Not to mention NBATopShot was also on another completely new blockchain called Flow which only recently started trading on exchanges like Kraken.

Another exciting thing about this Sale is that these first editions will only be sold once, for 24h, and depending on how many get sold that's the amount of cards that will exist of these. On top of that they have this crafting system where the packs will only consist of "build cards" which you have to combine two of to get "class card" with one of six rarities depending on your luck. Here's a gif from their website:

The build cards are then burned and the class cards can be upgraded to higher levels (sort of similar to Hive account@splinterlands cards) where the previous level class cards are also burned from existence. Now again, don't take this as financial advice, but a 24h window of one time sales + mechanics to increase scarcity is a pretty good deal if Street Fighter ends up being popular, keep releasing new editions and series over time and maybe end up doing something else down the line with these assets than just collecting and trading them. The sky is the limit when it comes to NFT's and we're just getting started.

Here are some different foils of the cards you can build into:

Foil (25% rarity)

Weld (10% rarity)

Action (5% rarity)

Collector's Edition (1% rarity)

Last but not least, Class Cards Crafting Bonus

The website where you'll be able to purchase these packs from in 6 days is Streetfighter.cards

If you already have a Wax Cloud Wallet(which is easy to sign up for - just remember to back up your keys), you can claim some free cards now on a daily basis up until the Sale.

Just go to this link and claim today's drop Dhalsim and you'll be one of almost 10k other users to have claimed so far. If you're not a fan this could be some easy $ down the line as well for just clicking a few times and forgetting about it, Dhalsim is at this point in time already trading for $0.12.

Exciting times for NFT's, trading cards and gaming coming up, can't wait to see what else lies ahead and hopefully I'll manage to find out in good time to tell you more about them either for some potential trading profits or just to have some fun collecting NFT's you like.

Thanks for reading and good luck!
