Look, I'm only good at art when I'm copying a pose from another source; my past work is a testiment to that. Even if I did just edit what Iocus drew, which might I remind you you said was "his", "his" version was an edit of mine anyway, so it was never really his anyway if mine isn't really mine. You wanna know how I made mine? I copied parts from my old one, moved things around, and drew new parts that were similar to what Iocus had. Don't believe me? I'll prove it by making a video of me recreating a sprite, and you'll see I didn't just edit it. Either way, I don't think anyone has the right to call anyone an art thief on a site mainly dedicated to ripping art from video games.
As for the pose, I still don't get what you mean by "platformer pose". There's a bunch of different poses being used by others, all of which could work in a platformer or fighter, and that's because every character has their own fighting style. Even in professionally-made arcade fighters, characters had all different poses because of their different martial art styles. Some of them even look completely relaxed because that's just how they fight.
