1) Life Gauge
The amount of life a character has left. In MvC2, the life gauge's color will be red, green or blue depending on the assist selected.
When a character gets hit, some of the damage they take is recoverable. This is indicated by the red section of life on the life gauge. This can be recovered by tagging out the character and letting them recover their red life over time.
2) Team Members
Displays the other members on your team. Color indicates selected assist. When a character is defeated, they are removed from the list.
3) Hyper Meter
The amount of Hyper Meter you have built up. You can have up to 5 stocks, and you start every match with 1.
Some Hyper Combos power up a character for some time. When this happens, the game displays a gauge indicating how much time is left before the Hyper ends directly above the Hyper Meter.
4) Timer
The amount of time left in a match. Starts at 99 seconds, but the seconds count down slower than real seconds, counting 1 in game second for about every 2 real life seconds. When the timer reaches zero, whoever has the highest life percentage across their entire team will win the match.
