thats a bit TOO overpowered. its already a borderline broken powerhouse.
I would say instead of that, maybe resistance to lava. (as in, its not instant death, just gives damage.)
Oh god NO. Don't overload the armor with useless crap. The only thing that needs some works is the torso, and that can be fixed with few lines and a single color.
plus hes working with Snes X sprites, which can only handle so much detail.
remember the X3 armor. that was a mess of a sprite.
Id agree however, that the chest and "undies" need a little bit of work. maybe a stripe or something. yknow, like first armor has that betl thing. then maybe some gold lining on the bottom of the chest armor.
