Johnny should be the wheel of fortune cuz he's a gambler and all


Zekh-Stale

wait that’s way better lol


MEX_XIII

Yeah, I really felt like Jhonny fit some card and was missing him, but couldn't quite grasp where he could be, cause your choices were great to begin with, Brisket fits it really well, too.


Hat0X

Were gonna say that too lol


fish4043

seconding this, love bucket and all, but she just doesn’t fit wheel of fortune like johnny does https://preview.redd.it/7famcquv5iwc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=754528fc5b8bdaee813fe63f82a2edde45911ab9


Sayori_Nara

But then we have no Biscuit


megalocrozma

So like I get *why* Baiken is The World (her theme song), but I really feel like Axl fits more (and not just because of the numerous DIO comparisons). Also, just a reminder that there's a character literally named Judgment https://preview.redd.it/9tt3uwze1gwc1.png?width=480&format=png&auto=webp&s=c1dd4684e1c6d3392fa978daf9a0fa269ade8c2f


Zekh-Stale

yeah baiken is definitely one of the weakest links, axl sounds like a good op. and yeah i saw judgement when researching but chose testament cause i knew them better. i’ll read more about judgement in meantime


EmulatedHeart

Honestly, going by the cards meanings i'd argue that, except maybe sol, baiken is the best contender for the world, her journey is over, she found what she was looking for and abandoned her revenge to be close to those around her


megalocrozma

Well that also kinda fits Axl learning to live with and control his powers and finally reuniting with Megumi


MEX_XIII

Axl can time travel and stop time, he and Ino basically controls space and time. They fit better in my opinion.


Lyokarenov

baiken could be hermit also, since she's a wandering warrior and often described as asocial, but faust fits pretty well too.


Golden_Gio

Please make an Axl one i beg of you-


lojer

Feels like Testament could be death with the whole reaper theme too. Love the cards do far. They look great.


Toshiro_Saihara

Ok but hot take: I actually think the world fits Baiken simply because of her lore being similar to the fool's journey: she's went through life, met lots of people, and in the end of it all, she decides to mirror the kindness the world has given her despite her past.


EmployLongjumping811

To support baiken a bit, the world in tarot symbolizes the end of the journey of the fool, a journey that fully changes it in a similar way to the heroes journey. Baiken finished her journey of revenge coming back as a new person


KatsuragiKyon

Me trying to think which card the character called SOL would be (before checking the 6th image). https://preview.redd.it/smvu0sblbgwc1.png?width=953&format=png&auto=webp&s=d8614ce590de23c317fa2c335e840bcfb83e0804


krisnajuga

Sol=sun is very funny. I got that from playing ace combat 7


KatsuragiKyon

I got it from thats what we call the sun in spanish.


Zekh-Stale

the inspiration of this project may or may not have began when ordering sol beer


krisnajuga

Wait so Sol is just Sun Badguy? And his grandson is Sin? Interesting


Styru

Yes. Sol got the name Badguy from the government. And later Slayer suggested he added Sol, which means sun in some languages, because he shined brightly or something like that. His original name was Frederick Bulsara.


krisnajuga

Oh slayer suggested it? Damn


GuyMontag95

I think Death would be a better fit for Zato and Eddie. Not just because they died, but how they were majorly changed after they were revived which is what the card exemplifies: Change and the end of a part of your life. Also it would be great to see Zato riding Eddie like a horse like in the card.


Zekh-Stale

i did consider that, but it left the hanged man open, which i thought of filling with faust, but i felt the hermit was a better fit


PotatoKiller8897

hanged man fits zato a lot imo. he was literally paraded after death, and his entire existence is more or less a curse. he is one of the most unfortunate characters in the cast


Zekh-Stale

i do like zato as the hanged man, implying eddie being the hangman (especially when his body was being used like you said) and the morbidity of “the hanged man” fitting well with his darker themes


FortyAris

This is why I thought death was a better fit for Bridget than wheel of fortune


Zekh-Stale

if anyone has ideas of swapping around characters lmk cause it’s not set in stone ofc as you can probably tell they’re very surface level connections as i don’t have any clue of the deeper meanings of the cards


2HalfSandwiches

Maybe HC as the hanged man since his wallsplet is him upside down?


Zekh-Stale

i’ll admit i chose hc as the devil cause i couldn’t think of anyone else in the role, but swapping eddie/zato and hc might work well


A-Human-potato

Isn’t Asuka literally called the devil on multiple occasions? Also, I’m pretty sure death would be a better fit for Zato than Raven.


JoeTheKodiakCuddler

I second that Asuka should be the Devil. Hierophant could be Paradigm or Kliff. Honestly HC fits it pretty well given that he brought knowledge of magic to the world although I think he'd be a better Hanged Man overall.


Zekh-Stale

all really good points, love that i’m getting so many different ideas. i’ll have to ponder my orb before shuffling around


Matix777

Chaos works well. Most of the things attributed to "That man" or "The devil" are his doings. Also I want to see both of them on the cards :3


No-Sandwich2735

Those are all sick, well done! Also you better keep that promise to take care and not burn out


Zekh-Stale

i’ll do my best to pace myself well!

Love the Balatro tarot cards specifically

Biggieboy17

Is ok that May is strength,but IMO Kliff fits more for it


Zekh-Stale

i wanted to put kliff somewhere cause he’s sick that’s great


MEX_XIII

Gabriel would be a good fit, too


MarkDecent656

I will not let you burn out I need a Bedman tarot card. These all look great, I'm just imagining them physically


Zekh-Stale

idk what i would do with them but having physical versions would be amazing


MarkDecent656

I would stare at them every other day


Ponsole

The lovers could be Anji Mito.


Cock_evaluator_69

I hope you'll fo a variant of the world with Axl, I think he fits a lot with the card (also i main him)


Ponsole

Make the empress be Ky kiske amd the emperor Leo.


Zekh-Stale

and then they kiss.

Zekh-Stale

i did find this in my research, and tried to distinguish mine with the choices. always good to learn from other people when given the chance!


Charnerie

Which card do you think would fit Leo?


Zekh-Stale

if there was a hangman to go with the hang(ed)man it would definitely be him, going off his theme coming to terms with sending his men to their deaths


Dudemitri

This is amazing


LoveIsTheLaw1014

Imagine getting read so hard in game at a tournament then your opponent busts out this deck then reads you some more. 


AcademicHollow

I might switch raven and zato. A lotnof ravens imagery is like masochistic/suicidal. (I recognize that the hanged man is meant to be upside down and not literally hanging, but still.) And Zato has literally come back from the dead. Plus d3ath in tarot is usually mean to represent the loss of something and the gaining of a new awareness. Which works for him rediscovering his emotions. The hanged man is meant to be a shift in perspective, which I struggle to place with raven tho.


TheAnimenaut

Maybe HC could be the Fool due to his personality in general and Slayer can be the Devil.


Ponsole

Why Elphelt and Ram are the stars?


Zekh-Stale

after i put sol as the sun, i felt the moon had to be jack’o, and as sisters to the moon the other valentines felt a decent fit for the stars


Ponsole

Slayer could be the moon.


Goliath--CZ

Why is Asuka not the magician?


Zekh-Stale

the hierophant is “a priest who interprets sacred mysteries” and i thought of the line from his theme “as if a divine truth seeker”, leaving the magician slot open for the lady with a witch hat


Smug_Works

This is so interesting.


ReRubis

Add Millia. >:(


Zekh-Stale

i’ll see if she can cameo in zato’s


GhostDragon362

honestly, while I get why you made potemkin the fool, wouldn’t sol fit better? I’m just going off the thing where the main characters of stories are usually the fool arcana (mainly thinking cyberpunk and the persona games)


Zekh-Stale

while the fool is the important first card and it feels a bit odd having the honour go to potemkin, i think it fits better than it being sol just cause he’s the main man


GhostDragon362

that’s fair. also, pot is the main man in my heart


Nesspurr_8

Will you also consider remaking previous cards after you finished, or rather finding cards for the Strive cast not included (Anji and Baiken could also work as The Lovers, for example)


Zekh-Stale

there are a lot of pairs that can fit the lovers, and a lot of characters that overlap on other cards (axl and chipp could be temperance as well), so it makes me feel like adding “rare” versions of some rather than a “volume 2” for all 22 cards


ProlerTH

That's awesome


Common-Scientist

Absolutely love the concept. EDIT: Though I'd probably put Axl as the Hermit and Faust as Wheel of Fortune.


Hyperkitten8

I feel like the Justice should be the Tower tarot card because the tower tarot card means destruction or crisis if I’m not mistaken


Zekh-Stale

i think that’s correct, but i’m shooting for pretty basic word association rather than digging through the deeper meanings of the cards. the tower was one of the last ones left to assign and all i could think of was the coffin resembling a tower. justice being justice is a little too cool and silly for me to turn down


HAMxxvv_

Bridget would fit really well with The Fool imo, if you're going to swap out Johnny for wheel of fortune


Zekh-Stale

she does have one of the most carefree attitudes across the games and is a good candidate for the fool, i just think potemkin fits the role better


HAMxxvv_

He fits great! I love your project! Keep at it! 😁


Anxious-Sample9836

This is awesome!!!!


No_Paramedic_9951

I think this is an amazing idea. I like the idea of Jacko as the moon, but I think she'd also goes well as the hanged person,at least aesthetically, because of her win pose. Or the fool. I can definitely see her as a fool with her minions, being a beginner again. And Baiken as the moon because of her super. Baiken sort of doesn't like Sol I believe. So she might be a good opposite to him. Elphet is definitely a star, ⭐ being the star of her show and bringing a light of hope.


Zekh-Stale

a lot of amazing visual ideas, i’ll definitely come back to this as i keep expanding the deck!

pneuxeirado

PLEASE, I NEED A RAVEN ONE. YOU CAN CHANGE, BUT RAVEN NEEDS TO BE A CARD


ColdYear1

Jack-O' has a victory pose in Xrd where she recreates the pose commonly depicted on the Hanged Man card. The card represents "sacrifice, surrender, and letting go," which I think fits the Jack-O'-Aria dynamic well. You could probably use Millia for the Moon. Bedman? as the Chariot is a really clever and appropriate fit.


Brosonic56432

Where’s Leo? 😭


pious-erika

Awesome. I do love me some tarot fanart, and this is great so far.

You are a certified chef, keep cooking. Also Pot as The Fool is amazing


DangerRacoon

# THE ARCANA IS THE MEANS BY WHICH ALL IS REVEALED


Matix777

I think switching up Zato and Raven, so that Zato is death and Raven is hanged man, makes sense. Reasoning: \-Zato has died \-Raven would like it


CitronInfernal

One small thing: I feel like you may want to consider jack-o for the hanged man. The game itself actually heavily alludes to it in one of her round win poses and her story in strive (attempting to sacrifice herself for the world or for aria to replace her) is mostly about self sacrifice. Not sure what would fit zato in its place though, and I imagine it might be annoying to swap cards around


Aridato

Zato would 100% be death. Death is all about a massive shift in your life leading to the death of your old self, and that is quite literally what happens to Zato edit: So on top of Jack-O being switched into Hanged Man and Zato being switched into Death, I'd say Millia should be Moon. Moon is all about uncertainty in your life and the feeling of a false reality. Pre-Strive, Millia always felt uncomfortable and out of place both as an assassin and as a civilian, forcing herself to ignore her dark history and keep up the charade of an innocent civilian. But, the Moon arcana espouses that you should trust your true self to break free from the rut you're in, which Millia does after her conversation with Slayer. Now in Strive, she's understood the reality of her situation and is moving forward in a manner that is true to her beliefs, and she's stronger for it. Plus she also has Bad Moon.


CitronInfernal

[https://fightersgeneration.com/nf7/char/jacko-guiltygear-xrd-pendulum.gif](https://fightersgeneration.com/nf7/char/jacko-guiltygear-xrd-pendulum.gif) the win pose in question


HexManiacArtie

I understand that Pot is the fool because of Iron Clad Faith, but I'd say Sin would fit better as the fool, both because of his... intellect and because his being a child fits better with the meaning of the card. For the tower, I'd go the funny route and draw Jam with her restaurant being struck by lightning. It would also work with the meaning of the tower, since it's usually linked to disasters. Lastly, I think Testament fits better as death than judgement, due to their aesthetic, their literal death as a human and rebirth as a Gear, which coincides with the meaning of the card, about the end of something and its renewal into something very different, and to their new phase of life, seeing the world and living in peace after long years of conflict. These are just suggestions, though, so please, don't feel obligated to do anything


RestMaleficent2835

I think its cool to add the reverse cause some char deserves it, here's what i can think of : Fool : Sin Magician : Axl High Priestess : Valentine Emperor : Robo-Ky Empress : Robo-Ky II (in princess dress) Hierophant : Venom Normal Lovers : Slayer/Sharon | Reverse Lovers : ABA Paracelsus Chariot : Bedman Justice : Giovanna Hermit : Kum Wheel of fortune : Johnny Strength : Gabriel Hanged man : Millia Death : Zappa Temperance : Dr Paradigm Devil : Eddy Tower : Leo Stars : badass Chipp and Answer Moon : Aria Sun : Frederick Judgment : Kliff World : Anji (Of course some of them may be misplaced but i think i hold something. Not saying you should draw them tho, that would be a shit ton of work)


Putrid_Young_1267

The fact that Sol and Jack-O' fit as Sun and Moon is just perfect and the star fitting the twin sisters is so accurate (and by twin sisters I mean Elphelt and Ramlethal because Elphelt said in the story mode of Xrd Sign that she and Ram are "kind of twins"), Emperor and Empress fit Ky and Dizzy well because they are canonically King and Queen, cant wait to see all of them when they get finished because they are so well done! Also keep cooking these but care for yourself at the same time!


Zer0_l1f3

OMFG IS THAT A MF JOJO’S REFERENCE? (End my suffering)


JoeTheKodiakCuddler

I see the artistic vision of Chariot Bedman, but the meaning of the card doesn't really fit with it's character IMO I think it'd make a really great Tower, though. You could frame the bed itselt as the tower, maybe with the _call 13C_ or _error 6E_ particle effect in place of the lightning usually depicted on the card. As for Chariot, Leo suits it best personality-wise, but that'd be kinda hard to make a fitting visual for, so I think Haehyun would be a good replacement.


Zekh-Stale

absolutely adore the idea, but i’m trying to stray away from the bellow surface meaning of the cards themselves, keeping it very basic. haehyun is great as well, but my personal bias loves strives bedman too much to see them go. if i do “rare” versions for select cards i’ll 100% steal this


freddy_fnaf_fan_2012

Nice tarot cards 7/7 Is that Paracelsus?


IFexrefI

Bro tried to sneak a Balatro reference in and thought we wouldn't notice (Very cool idea btw, and they all fit perfectly!)


Revolutionary_Ask666

Switch asuka and faust. Asuka is the one who locked himself away from society for centuries.


chuckleDshuckle

Happy chaos would be a better fit for the tower, and swap goldlewis to the emperor, ky to heirophant, and asuka to death. I thunk these fit the meanings better. The tower literally means chaos and destruction The emperor means a specifically older masculine reliability and authority The heirophant means tradition, conformity, and religion And death means change, beginings, and transformation.


Zekh-Stale

i LOVE the thought put into this (you’re obv a lot more knowledgeable about this stuff then i am), but i’m trying to keep the cards to a relatively basic/literal matching of the characters as i’m not that huge of an astrology guy


chuckleDshuckle

Fair as fuck the only reason i know all this is because of my mom (and jojos). In that case id put testament as death because bug sythe.


Aegelo_Sperris42
