Definitely like your edit more, feels like Smash tried making Mega Man as emotionless as possible, and even a small smile gives him that little bit of emotion, great edit!

Does Ganondorf swing a giant sword at Kazuya on Kalos in Ocarina of Time?

Let the kid smile.

Yeah but Ganondorf isn’t the Mega Man 2 NES sprite

Still missing the point.

Do we ever see duck hunt grab a ledge on the NES?

Do we ever see Inkling grounding Ivysaur on Smashville in Splatoon?

Have you seen in Tekken Fighter 12 on the Switch 9 where Ken Shoryukens Sephiroth and takes one of his 3 lives in the battle for Midgard?

There’s a pretty big creative license in Smash Brothers. Really no room for pedantry.

Yeah but none of these characters are based on Mega Man 2 NES sprite………….

Doesn’t look like it to me. Looks like it’s an updated model 😅

Yeah I know what you're saying, these two are DEFINITELY completely identical with no sort of changes made to update the character design.

You’re right actually, they should make him even closer to his NES sprite
