81	!!The series provide these tropes:
82	* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: With Creator/{{Konami}}'s ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' video games, mostly the ''Duel Monsters'' series. Also being an EasternRPG has been compared with Creator/{{Nintendo}}'s ''VideoGame/{{Pokemon}}'', especially for the character design and objectives, as well as the SocializationBonus-driven OneGameForThePriceOfTwo mechanic of the first one. The playing system, however, resembles more an overly-simplified version of ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering''.
83	* TheCameo: Apart of the obvious references to franchises from both companies in the cards, there's a lot of unexpected cameos:
84	** The companies' RealLife locations as Neo Geo Land and Capcom Plaza appear as places to go in the games. Also appear some fictional places for both companies, like [[VideoGame/FatalFury Pao Pao]] [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Café]] and [[VideoGame/ForgottenWorlds Lost World]].
85	** Various {{seiyuu}} appear as {{NPC}}s during the game, like Creator/HarumiIkoma, [[Videogame/TheKingOfFighters Masahiro Nonaka]] and [[VideoGame/SamuraiShodown Keiko Kamitani]] with their radio program ''Neo Chupi'' and Creator/YuriAmano (the voice actor for [[Videogame/StreetFighterIII Ibuki]]) appears as a card fighter.
86	** As the seiyuu, some creators from both companies (mostly character designers) appear as {{NPC}}s too, like Akiman and Eiji Shiroi, and even in the form of card fighters, like the one called [[Creator/ShinjiMikami Mikami]].
87	* {{Crossover}}: The first time both companies clash between each other and the seed for the then upcoming ''VideoGame/SNKVsCapcom'' series.
88	* FirstPersonPerspective: In the games, you can talk with people (being [=NPC=]s as card fighters) in first person as if you were inside the character, in a similar way than a VisualNovel.
89	* GameBreakingBug: In ''Card Fighters DS''. Almost immediately after American version was released, an unavoidable bug was discovered in the game. The bug occurs on the ninth floor of the tower, during the second play through. The game crashes after talking to an opponent named Jon, who has to be defeated in order to finish the game. On June 6th, SNK announced that the replacement cartridge would be available in stores on June 25th and began the process of implementing a recall. These cartridges have been sent by mail along with a package of 5 ''King of Fighters'' trading cards. The recall ended in January 2008.
90	* GuestFighter: G-Mantle, SNK's former {{mascot}} appears in all the games, as inspiration for characters (The Mask in the first game, Neomantle, [[RobotMe Robomantle]] and [[GenderBender G-Lady]] in ''Card Fighters 2'') and even AsHimself as a card fighter in ''DS''.
91	* OneGameForThePriceOfTwo: The first game had two versions, ''SNK'' side and ''Capcom'' side, both linkable via cable where players can interchange their cards and so ''[[GottaCatchThemAll catch'em all]]''. The Platform/NintendoSwitch port announced in 2022 combines both versions into a single game, also allowing players to switch between both versions at any time.
92	* OriginalGeneration: All the characters in the series that aren't cards; every game has their own protagonists, villains and rivals you have to fight with your cards.
93	* PurelyAestheticGender: No matter the game you play, in all of them you've to choose between a male or female character that you can control. The only difference apart of the gender is the design for them, but they work the same in the game.
94	** Curiously, each playable character do have their own backstory, but they are never shown on the game itself, being a case of AllThereInTheManual.
95	* ShoutOut: A lot, so they're included [[ShoutOut/CapcomVs here]].
96	* SuperDeformed: The main design of the characters of the whole series and the cards, with the exception of ''Card Fighters DS'' (and some special cards in ''Card Fighters 2'') in which they're drawn in normal style.
97	* SuperTitle64Advance: The ''Card Fighters '''[[Platform/NintendoDS DS]]'''''.
98	* UpdatedRerelease: ''Card Fighters 2'' counts as this. Although is a {{sequel}} of the first game(s) and can be played separately without having played the first CFC, you can use your files saved from the first games and get your cards back. Even the title says it's an "Expanded Version".
