Battle Card

A Battle Card is an item coming from Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories which can cause multiple effects on the summoner or, in most of the cases, summon a random non-playable character to aid the player who summoned him/her/it. Those Battle Cards work identical to Assist Trophies, the only difference being that a Kingdom Hearts character will appear. Battle Cards come in Red, Blue, Green, and Black varieties. Each of the four colors corresponds to different summons but is not known if the color pattern will work as in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. The DOJO!! also hints on there being a possible 5th color.

It is currently unknown if more than one Battle Card will appear at one time.

Origin
Cards first appeared in the game Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories where they were used by Sora and Riku to fight and proceed through Castle Oblivion. There are two types of Cards: Battle Cards and Map Cards. Battle Cards, in turn, are divided in Attack Cards, which contain one strike with a Keyblade (they are colored red); Magic Cards, which let Sora use a spell or use a summon (They are colored blue); Item Cards, which restore attack and magic cards after use (they are colored green); Friend Cards, which summon one of Sora's party members once retrieved and used (most likely the color of card that will summon characters in SSF2, they are colored green too); and Enemy Cards (enable a status affect, which can change Card Value, increase speed, and make Sora invulnerable to certain elements. They are colored black). There are other types of Cards but are not in the Battle Cards line.

Trivia

 * A big rumor among McLeodGaming community, is that of a summoning item in the form of card will be appearing as an item, this led to the belief of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards which spread a small discussion all over the SSF2 Discussion. Nothing was official until the confirmation of Battle Cards.
