@Cookie, he's referring to how the design of the Other M suit has so many angular things in it, especially compared to the largely more smooth, organic designs of previous games, especially the Metroid Prime series. Don't worry; it's not your fault.

I'm thinking they probably did it to make her look edgier, since they pushed the game as being much more about intense action, and because of her grappling attacks.

I personally like the bigger shoulder pads of the sprite on the right, with the feet from the sprite on the left. The flatter feet better portray strength; the heels on the other one just look like they'd make it harder for her to do all her athletic moves.
I think the shading on the gun looks a bit weird, but otherwise, I think it looks pretty good.
