Which origin story do you prefer?
The first one is what I tell everyone to try to get them interested in the Darkstalkers series

Can you sum it up for me?

Mayyan guardian that was a gift from aliens to protect them from evil aliens.

If he's mayan why does he look like the most jomon thing ever to be featured in a fighting game?

Probably because the Mayans come up a lot in "ancient astronaut" theories, with the "rocket man" carving and such. This sort of interpretation of ancient art as alien/technological stuff draws from lots of different cultures all around the world, so it's easy to just mix a bunch of it together. Hence you get a robot who looks like an ancient Japanese statue, but is said to be Mayan.Since it';s not the details that are important so much as the overall image, which in this case is just the entire incipient alien" shtick in general.

simpler formulation: according to what the games say it's not mayan-made, mayans only found it.

The old Capcom artists were really at the top of their game around the time they made Darkstalkers. Design, animation, illustration, it's all expertly-crafted.
