Looks like a cool robot boy to me.
Maybe the people who see him as stupid are NPCs?

A retard in a special needs helmet with his underwear outside a onesie and his mom's blue dishwashing gloves and matching rainboots.
Yeah I could see it now

[Anonymous No.7060897]

>>7060637
Because it was the 8-bit era and they were trying to go for an Astroboy look. What did you expect, a 4 bajillion polygon man with raytraced god rays coming out of his crotch?

One thing I didn't like is Nintendo took the simplicity of this sprite and interpreted it literally to create his Smash model. His unfazed, emotionless expression only works with the lack of detail on the NES.

Capcom draws Mega Man as a humanized character who can emote so Nintendo missed the ball on that.

[Anonymous No.7060935]

>>7060910
Well according to the series canon no, he cannot feel actual emotions or even think like a human does. It's all imitative programming

[Anonymous No.7061002]

So you can identify with him better

Well, he is a robot tbf.

That were copying 鉄腕アトム while making him look just retarded enough to be legally distinct.

proto-anime is so uncanny looking.

Should they have made him more like the cover?

[Anonymous No.7061759]

Back then they were practically plagiarizing american animation

[Anonymous No.7061943]

MM is already made of 8-9 sprites (depending on the frame) and already uses 2 palette slots out of 4.

That means that there is a palette slot that is ONLY used for MM's face and the Robot Master's faces for the entire game and they're stuck with the remaining 3 palette slots for everything.

In short, they already did some sacrifices to make him look more detailed. They weren't the first to sacrifice a palette to make the protag more detailed but it was exactly a standard to do so yet.

They are three different characters; X didn't overwrite Classic Mega, and the Legends guy barely has anything to do with the series to begin with

You just have terrible taste

[Anonymous No.7063574]

He doesn't look that unless you already have preconception of him looking that that by seeing the Japanes official artwork, first.

[Anonymous No.7063686]

>>7060910
At least he still does the thing where you can inch him forward by moving his front foot only one pixel forward at a time

[Anonymous No.7063782]

That artwork is very faithful to the sprites. The only thing I could really understand getting confused about is whether he's a robot or a human.

[Anonymous No.7065382]

>>7063782
Not really. You can't tell he has anime eyes on a standard CRT, especially not a small one. There are no outlines to his eyes. This caused problems for the Mega Man 2 coverart guy, too, who thought they were a visor. The line mouth doesn't look like his artwork, either. The fact that he's called Man, not Boy, isn't helpful for initial perception, either.

[Anonymous No.7065384]

>>7061758
That artwork is based on what the sprite looks like without seeing Inafune's art first.

Why did your mom make you look so stupid? Down syndrome combined with fetal alcohol syndrome.
