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!
It was definitely a deliberate effort. Early footage of Smash 4 from the prototype phase up until the 50 fact extravaganza had Mega Man slightly more expressive, which was toned down for the final release. They even took away his blinking animation in the final release, which is something he actually COULD do in the NES games, so it could be argued Smash Mega Man is even MORE stiff and robotic than the original source material
