I see you tried to mimic the original's pose but that doesn't translate well in your version. The torso looks broken considering his legs. Change the inclination of his chestplate to lessen this distortion.
I don't know this style's traits but the palette looks mismatched to Megaman's (Megaman's contrast is quite high whereas your sprite lacks it. Also, for readability issues, make his helmet-thing transparent with some shines and remove the lines inside it.

In addition to what Mighty and Gors have already said, his legs are a little bit off; his right (our left) leg is shorter than the other, and his left (our right) boot is larger than the other somewhat. The shading on his left boot is also a little wonky, as it contradicts the lightsource. Also, the darker blot on the lower part of his right boot is a bit distracting.
EDIT: Actually, it seems to me his legs and torso are not aligned. This may or may not be causing his right leg to be shorter. However, the points about the boots still stand.
So he found the heart in barren land
It was beating, still alive
He held it gently in his hand
And looked up to the sky

I'd add the sprite of X next to this so people can see the style better. MM looks weird, his head being an odd shape and overall being too small.
But Chillman is definitely heading in the right direction, I don't think I have anything to add to what others have already said.

It looks really clutterd and thus lacks readability. On smaller sprites, you can't pack as much detail.
