Latest updated file now uploaded on 01/10/2012 - lifebar version 28/09/2012.
I like the use of elements from the SFA series - being a bif fan of those games, I can only approve of these.The only "complaint" I could possibly have is about the name font, since it still looks a lot like the standard MUGEN one. But it's not big deal, and othet than that, everything is very fine.Solid release, two thumbs up.
It's nice to share stuff you kept aside for years, isn't it??These look very clean and bold. I like what you shared with us. Thank you sir!!

hmm the update is good what if the char has long name like "Chousokabe Motochika and Some Random Guy Wins!" any solution for that? (not all users dont want to bother edit the def file)
I love classic lifebars like these! They don't need custom ports. They're just cool all by themselves.
Lovely Lifebars, they look so AWESOME!

(not all users dont want to bother edit the def file)^ This. EDIT: I got an idea! Why not switch place between the WIN icons and the name? The win icons don't take too much room and could be made thinner if they are too big, and still, the names would fit above.
