• Portrait Boxes (212x212 or similar): Large enough to show custom character faces without pixelation.
• Super Meter (Power Bars): Usually layered across the bottom width of the screen.
• Timer/Clock: Centered at the top, often with custom fonts.
• Round Indicators: Small dots or numbers showing "Round 1/3."
• Nameplates: Clean boxes for character and player names.

1. "M.I.C.A" (by Jets): One of the most highly rated lifebars. It is sleek, modern, and comes with excellent fonts and hit effects.
2. "KOF XIII Lifebars": Numerous edits exist (often by creators like Vans or old contributors). These are the safest bet for a classic fighting game feel.
3. "Street Fighter V Lifebars": Great for a modern aesthetic, often mimicking the blue/orange hue of SFV.
