The purpose of pixel art isn't to mimic a bygone era, it's aesthetic in its own right.

Jesus Christ that resprite is horrifying. Not all CRTs are wash-out messes.

He's playing on a shit CRT, not every CRT has an awful output like that. The guy is a really talented pixel artist but the claim that his revision is "how pixelart should be crafted" is really silly.

Nigga I love me some metal slug but don't tell me 3's final boss isn't the definition of quarter sink bullshit

Well when you're comparing it to something akin to a fucking masters of Pixel art anything would look shitty. Its too bad SNK stopped though.

Not if you're good, seriously. That boss is designed to destroy your wallet if you're bad, same with MSX.
