After a few hours of work and some very careful conservation, I've decided on the final design for my Mega Man.

I never would have thought this is possible, but I've managed to draw a Mega Man that's larger than the original while using fewer 8x8 minitiles. The standing sprite is also 2 minitiles wide instead of 3, so if this sprite was used flickering wouldn't be a problem and you could have 4 buster shots on the screen at a time instead of 3. And don't worry...the new 24x32 hitbox wouldn't make the game much harder because that's actually how large X's sprite is.
Later, I'll finish up the rest of Mega Man's animations and see if I can add in some ducking or aiming frames with the leftover space. I'd really like to make a ROM hack using this sprite at one point!
