Umm, well, this may look excellent to some, Ryu, but to me, the best part really is the fire.
Seriously, taking a screenshot from the actual game and then posting the "sprite" I guess you could say in an MK3-ish format just looks really bad, as you can plainly see that there are no shadows. As a matter of fact, absolutely nothing casts a shadow, and the fire really should.
The tower things look flat, and so it looks like they could fall of at any minute.
The fire at the bottom of Kenshi also looks flat, and it looks like a little explosion rather than the fire just melting it's way up.
Also, judging from how far Kobra is from his leg, the leg really should have fallen by now, and even then it shouldn't have been standing up because of the position he's in. Once again, however, it doesn't look like he's leaping, more like he's moonwalking in the air.
Overall, 6/10.
