Kokomo
It's basically just instead of having one life bar like in MK, where you lose the one life bar and the round is over.2 life bars?
how does that work?
Simply put now once you lose a lifebar you have another one before you're done.
An in game example below (though there is more than 2 life bars in this game it's the general idea).
Also, Killer Instinct kind of did this too.
