bahaha holy shit..... how to kill an artstyle in 16 easy bars
Well seeing how it's a 3 vs 3 fighter and all of the characters fight on screen simultaneously at once, unlike say something like Marvel Vs Capcom 3 which each character takes their turns.
You would need to have 6 life bars available at once. 3 for your team members, and 3 for the opponents. They could probably overlay the bravery gauges on top of the life bars, which should reduce some of the clutter.
However because this isn't one on one and there is 6 characters doing something on the screen at once at all times, the player will need that information to know the status of his teammates.
It would not be useful to hide the bars of characters you aren't currently controlling, and then you swap to one of your team members and find out he is half dead because you didn't didn't have the information in front of you to deal with this problem otherwise.
