Honestly you just fuckin taught me what that actually is supposed to look like.

>>2812754
You actually made me laught with this one.

I never understood what these things were either, I mean I KNEW that they were supposed to be weird wolves but I just couldn't see it.
>>2813609
I don't even know what I'm looking at, so I accept it.

And I'm fine with that. Badass viking is cooler actually.
>>2812754
>>2812754
HOLY SHIT has he really been looking straight ahead with red eyes this whole time?
At lower res, I always thought he was looking back towards me with dark eyes
>>2814584
Saw this as well.
>>2814584
Holy shit it wasn't dogs?!
>>2813738
Nope, I see it too.

>>2814403
>the background is her hair
Holy shit
I always thought these guys were friendly blob monsters with one eye and a big grinning mouth.
>>2815841

Nah, I'm serious. I thought at first that it was a perfect 90-degree profile shot, with Red XIII looking up with a big mopey left eye. What's shown here is at higher res than the portrait in-game, but you can kind of see it in the thumbnail view.
>>2816469
I wish there was a ring on one hand.

I just had this revelation and came here to post this.
All these years, I just thought it was some shitty dogbug sprite they didn't put effort into.

You said all those extra things and now I don't know what it really is.
Some really stupid people in this thread, wow. OP is just the tip of the iceberg.
>>2816469
>>2812984
Oh shit I never ever noticed that. But seriously, you're the same guy doing all these and I think you're retarded for being fooled by this many pics

>>2817579 the point is he screwed up where nanaki's left eye is.

When I was a kid, I had a friend who's sister and himself absolutely insisted the fireballs that Mario threw in Super Mario World were sunflower seeds. As a kid who sperged out over people getting vidya stuff wrong, you can imagine how much I tried to argue with him.

>you're the same guy doing all these
The only retard here is you.
People have done these for a decade, and not everyone is necessarily 'fooled' by these, it's about how old sprites were small and abstract, leaving you with room to interpret them in sometimes very imaginative ways, even if you know what they're actually representing.
>>2813904

How did you think a thing like that?
Anyone else always wondered what the fuck this thing was on the first NES Ninja Gaiden?
>>2818506
I always thought it was some ninja dude running on all fours. I guess the robotic quadruped thing makes WAY more sense, but they didn't get too into the weird mecha designs til NGIII.
Unrelated...
Anyone have that pic of the Doom Super Shotgun being reloaded with the drawing of the dude flipping it around and stuffing the shells into the business end of the barrel? Always been a favorite of mine.
>>2818545
>I always thought it was some ninja dude running on all fours.
Makes sense too, never really tought about it that way.
>>2816905
the circles look more like ears than rosy cheeks, like a beagle's floppy ears
These threads make always me upset purely because I imagine that if your brain fucked up interpreting sprites as badly as OP then you must be an all-round retard in life and in general.
>>2818620
Partially true. They don't think it is but it do.
>>2815841
it's Link sitting down, facing towards the viewer. His face is actually pointing down towards his lap.
This was the final frame of the death animation if I recall correctly, do, consider he's basically had the last bit of sense knocked out of him and has slumped over in defeat.
To try and clarify further
His ears are on either side of his head, the round bit in the middle is actually his hat and some hair, his face is partially shadowed by all of that, with the single line being all you can see. His feet are spread in a \ / shape and his hands are on the floor beside them.
>>2818407
Holy shit I thought it was like a chihuahua or something.
>>2819350
If you had a condescending twat as a grandson and a mute weirdo come into your lab, take your pokemon, and then proceed to battle in said lab, you'd make that face too. Let's not mention how you gave them you're life's work and then they decided to neglect animal cruelty laws.

Holy shit. I am just as confused as you were and I am finally seeing this image the right way. I always thought the black and white of the mouth/teeth was a spiked collar. Mind blown
>>2819907
It took me at least 2 minutes to see any differences in the pictures.
Truly magical.
>>2818458

>>2820405

>>2820405
Thanks for this! I was too lazy to draw a picture when I posted it.
I ain't gonna bother drawing it, but I always thought Shadow from FF6 was supposed to be wearing some sort of Cyclops helmet.
>>2820443
where you people purposely being stupid?
>>2820450
I can kinda see it
>>2817591
It is the girl from behind, actually.
>>2815841
what's weird is that I always knew what this sprite was supposed to be when you saw it in-game for a second, but staring at it now I can't see what any of Link's head is supposed to be.
>>2820450
I dunno what to tell you man. I'm sorry for being a kid who played video games on small crappy televisions and focused on the only bright focal point of a nearly all-black character design. I'll make sure to commit Sudoku tomorrow.

>20+ years believing this until /vr/ pointed out that his cheeks turn red when he dies

They're his bloodshot eyes turning red on death
>>2820443
Holy shit me too. I've only just realised where his eyes actually are now you've mentioned it
>>2819907

>>2820443
I thought he was a black guy.
>>2819350
So Oak was really Oakanović the Kebab Remover?
>>2819350
It's hard to tell.
>>2814581
Yeah, that always looked off to me.
>>2816049
How did you NEVER see it? You saw her IN GAME with hair IDENTICAL to that. Is this some simply ebin meme? I just don't get it
>>2816441
I can't stop laughing
>>2820768
I saw something wrong with Fearow's in-battle sprite in Pokémon Blue/Red (not yellow, they changed it) but i can't even seem to find that battle sprite.
I don't even remember if it was the sprite from the player or adversary side.
>>2820443
I thought it was a golden Egyptian eye drawn on his helmet. Close enough

This
>>2820471
It's supposed to look something like this.
>>2821038
To this day I have no idea whether that white line is supposed to be Blaine's mouth (like he's gritting his teeth) or a mustache. Even the official artists can't seem to agree on whether or not Blaine has a mustache.
>>2820527
I mean as in making these images
>>2821253
Huh, I always thought that was him grinning. Never even occurred to me that it could a moustache
>>2821240
>>2821485
haha nice. i like the censor.
>>2820915
I was shocked when I discovered that wasn't a big mustache.
>>2821485
>tfw no gbc game about little green dude
he's so cute
>>2821485
>>2821531
>>2821253
He has no mustache in the original RGBY and early seasons of the anime, but he does have a mustache in later games (including the Red/Green remakes).
>>2816441
looks better in motion if I recall correctly
>>2821736
The eyes look derping as fuck
>>2819907
hilarious, I dont even know what this is from but it made me burst out laughing.
>>2816454
I don't know what I'm more horrified by: the terrifying interpretation of Rachel or its level of detail.
>>2819907
I've always understood how that image is supposed to look, but my brain's always struggled to not see the image on the right first when I glance at it. My focus always drifts to the left.

>>2821971
Easy sperglord, it's not like I made the image. The color scheme in that particular sprite draws your attention to the top of his head because it's brighter and bigger than his actual face. Always knew what was intended.
>>2821531

>>2816454
this is the only one in this thread that I actually saw
>>2822428
I agree. I first played this on a dark as fuck gba screen. I don't think I ever noticed the white parts that are his eyes.
Idk why that other guy feels the need to be pretentious about it.
>>2822536

>>2822428
Why is the golden circlet so fucking big, looks unproportional and pushes down the face so it looks like it's coming out of his chest.
>>2821974
Whose the one between Cyan and Shadow meant to be?
>>2822861
>pretentious
You mean 'condescending,' not 'pretentious.' It means 'talking down to someone.' I'm sure you encounter lots of it, so it's best if you learn which word to describe how people generally talk to you.
>>2823297
The art style for ALTTP is full of weirdly-proportioned shit like that, if you actually look at the sprites in-detail (like a sprite sheet or whatever).
For the record, I always thought he had a big blonde mustache and the other facial features were in complete shadow (think Sharp from OOT/MM).
>>2823318
>whose
Err... I meant "who's," obviously.
Fix'd.
>>2823342
You swapped Edgar and Celes.
>>2823342
Celes!! I forgot about her entirely. How could I do that to the fairest of FF maidens, second only to my dearest Agrias? To forget of her so wholly?
Certainly, this is a most egregious crime.
My sweetest damsel! Forgive me!
>>2823342
>celes is a trap

>>2823474
No worries, Anon. Just happy to help the disadvantaged, is all.
And by the way: I'm condescending to you right now! See? No? Well, you'll pick up on it eventually, kiddo. Practice makes perfect! And, after all, I'm sure you'll get plenty of it, what with all the patronising and condescending tones I've no doubt others take to speak to you.
>>2823485
Oh, don't be so overtly unpleasant. It's much better to simply allude to Anon's stupidity, as evidenced by his use of words he doesn't understand (which, ironically, is also a pretentious thing to do), than to call him a fucking moron outright.

OC lel.
Never had a good look at it until emulators came along. I wonder if there's still machines of this in the wild since Capcom used suicide boards that would wipe the decryption chip if a battery went bad or some shit.
Oh wow. I actually never realized Vincent is looking forward. I always saw that shadow in the corner of his eye as his pupil so I thought looked like his eye is wide open in a frightened expression and he's looking off to the left of the screen. It only really works in the thumbnail(or when playing on a small crt)
>>2823961
I forgot what his arms even look like now.
>>2824056
i don't get it. whats the difference?
>>2814941
i dont get it, looks the same
>>2816882
still don't get it.

I'm not good at drawing so I'm not going to bother, but Marle's potrait in Chrono Trigger to me looked like she was wearing a white dress with cleavage. It's hard to see it now that I've seen how it's "supposed" to look but yeah.
>>2813423
holy shit, so she wasnt a horse?
I'm glad I'm reading this thread on the toilet because I'm pissing and shitting from laughing so hard, I have tears in my eyes fuck me.

I always thought she was holding a croissant or some other bread productI'm so fat ;_;
Ah man, I was really hoping that the MM2 Dr. Wily in his UFO looking like a dog would be here. I've been looking that image for a while now, and I know it's on my dead netbook.
Anyone have the Dr. Wily in a UFO is a lying down dog picture? I could do a crude imitation of it if that would help.
>>2826384
What the fuck, that's what I thought too. Now that I'm looking closer I can tell it isn't white dress and cleavage. Man that sucks, i'll never look at her the same again.
Not vidya, but 4chan related. I always thought the fish in this picture had a quivered bottom lip instead of its tongue sticking out
>>2816461
It's funny because modern interpretations sometimes give them both. But play SMAS; the Bullet Bills in SMB1 move their arms so you can see that they're actually arms.
Actually I think part of what happened is some graphic designer for SMW only looked at the sprite and thought they were teeth, and designed accordingly, because SMW Bullet Bills don't have arms.
>>2821761
HOLY SHIT
