new one is better proportioned and posed.  old one has better contrast but is standing in a very bland character-less way.

The outfit and proportions look better on the new sprite, but the face and hair look better on the old sprite. I like them both, though. :)

old is nicer

New one is much nicer but less readable in the face and hair.

I definitely prefer the older one overal.., especially in the face.

the old is better D: but not in the legs

I would say you add as much details as the old one. then it's better! 

I like the proportions of the old one better, but I think the new one is clearer and less messy :) Nicely done!

I prefer the new :)

I gotta agree with most of the chaps here, I like the old better >.>

You should have just the legs tidy as the rest of the old one was very good.

The old is better.

I can agree with the other comments here: The old one is much easier to read at 100% zoom- Though in my opinion the new one looks much better when zoomed in 3x-4x! I like the positioning of the new models' arms a lot more as well!

EDIT: Just noticed the 3-layered banding on the new characters' gauntlets, too! Be sure to watch out for that in the future!

I like that the new one is more organic in terms of the legs and arms but the older one had better readability and details <:3c

The position of the arms and legs on the new one is nice. As is the palette. The old one is more readable imo. The old one looks bigger, and has less detail, so it reads better. New one has a different perspective and more detail; looks a bit clustered.

The new link is kind of unreadable compared to the old! The bigger face suited link good

I actually prefer the old :s
