I'd like 7's style better if Mega Man's standing sprite didn't look so disgruntled. I much prefer the "blank-robot" expression seen in other games. This just feels like an effort to edge Classic up a smidge right off the X train. And yeah, I get that he's had enough right after Wily was jailed and he nearly explodes in the ending, but still (and yeah, I know about the textbox, thnx).
Also this style might have been underused officially but it was overused in sprite comics.

The only thing I don't like about Mega Man's sprite is that his idle stance feels off. He's supposed to be posed like he's ready to run into battle but thanks to his right arm sticking straight down it looks like he's just awkwardly slouched forward. Bending the elbow forward a bit to match the motion of the left arm, similar to X's SNES sprite would do wonders for it.
