Since I'm a Painwheel player who often uses her Hatred Install, I often yearn to see if I can still use the advantages before time runs out. I'm sure some Double users would want to see her time limit for her cats. Do you think this is a good idea, because I do, and I've considered the video on HUD design on TheGameTheorists.
EDIT: I should definitely add that I understand Painwheel has different time limits based on the amount of life she has.

As much as I would like that as a Double player, Mike Z has expressed that making a new HUD element is a lot of work with the system they use

[Sigh]...I understand. Is it the current limitations of the engine or the coding?
 
I would also like this option.

Here's hoping for Skullgirls 2!

Edit: To elaborate, I play Zappa in Guilty Gear and some of his most powerful attacks are derived from a spirit called Raoh. This spirit is on a limited timer once summoned and one of the changes made to the game in the most recent update was the inclusion of a gauge that shows how much time is left. A.B.A also has a gauge for her Moroha mode letting you know how much time is less and decreasing sharply when you take a knockdown, Eddie received a similar gauge in +R as well for his shadow attacks.

If it would be reasonable to include a similar countdown meter on screen for characters like Painwheel or Double that would be incredibly helpful.

Maybe make things blink in a different pattern when time is running out?
 
Otter UI is horrible is the reason.
