I never saw this sprite like this...

Kudos for you bro. this just blew my mind .No one ever cared to do some tribute to CLASSIC old samus...I am really happy to see this! its very well realized and makes sense too, if you notice samus's old sprite she even have 2 pixels on her ass lol.

omg samus old school status!!!

your my new favorite pixel artist!!! this is genius. you kept everything old school including the size, but some proportions are a little off. like the head is slightly too large, shoulder pads a little bigger, and shoes a little bigger... other than that perfection.

I'm liking it!

I'm loving the color palette on this thing bro, it looks really nice. Great use of hue shift shading with the green portions of the sprite, and that small bit of saturated red makes the chest plate look nice and gritty. :D

Overall, really nice sprite bro. :3
