"No real skills", he says.
You've got his whole body moving, but his head is completely static on top, barring the bounce. I don't think it'd be amiss for there to be one or two frames of his hair coming more into focus as his head tilts slightly with the body.
Another thing is that he doesn't have a sense of force to his arm pumping. Right now it looks kinda girly. Look how dramatic the other guy pumps his arms while he's moving. Try and emulate the dramatic curves of the arms and how far they go in front of him.
The legs look like you copied and pasted them, then re-shaded them for depth. That's not an inherently, bad thing, the other sprite looks like that too, but you might get a better feel if you staggered their positions and tweaked one to look like it's pumping at a different angle. There's something about the knees, or lack thereof on the extended forward legs that feels off too. Maybe give it a bit more of a bend.
It could use a little work, here and there, but that's still pretty darn good for someone with "No real skills."
