this guy isn't a bad sprite artist but people too often base their idea of a game/cartoon/whatever's "style" on the look of the protagonist
X is meant to have youthful proportions; he wouldn't look like that in Ninja Gaiden. Ryu is a grown man; he wouldn't look like that in MMX.
Ryu's proportions in the PS1/Saturn era of MMX would be more akin to the Colonel's or Dynamo's. X and Zero are actually pretty small and young-looking in-universe youtube.com
it's like how drawing in "Panty & Stocking style" tends to mean just using the leads as a template
I like this one youtube.com
