Mega Man X Street Fighter

I guess this is a bit off-topic, but you really shouldn't take criticism as something that's meant to wear you down or plague you at every turn. It's supposed to help you, so lighten up a bit, y'know? My goal isn't to make you feel bad about yourself, but to tell you how to get better based on what I'm seeing. It's not like I think you're some terrible person just because you're stuck, I mean, I'm stuck on all sorts of things myself.

If your ref isn't getting anywhere, I think it'd be better to drop it for awhile and try improving your art doing other things, then come back to it later. If you've come to a roadblock where you don't know what kind of things you can do, then trying to strong-arm your way past your block isn't always gonna work. Trying different things might help you get more ideas and loosen up some.

but in terms of this game, um
I think classic's gameplay is really overdone and boring. I mean, especially considering there's all these spinoffs (x/zero/zx) that are kind of the same thing except with more variety beyond "jump and shoot and stuff", idk why they don't just do something with those...or, y'know, use sprites that aren't 8-bit and do something more like mega man 8 where they kind of tried to update the gameplay a little bit.
