Just played through CT again and for the first time I saw the real face on this. Did anyone here think it was like the left side? I googled to see if anyone else made this first and couldn't find it. Damn.
If you have any more, post em'.
>>3455031
>>3455038
>>3455031
You... you son of a bitch.
Yakra has horns?!?!?
Mind = Blown
>>3455050
Ha.
>>3455042
Oh, wow
>>3455031
Haha the missus had so much trouble working out what the sprites were meant to be, she was like you. I didn't even realise she saw it a different way till you pointed it out.
>>3455031
Shut the fuck up, you and no one else saw that. Stop trying to one up the Black Omen sprite people.
>>3455031
Tbqh the way you saw him is way cooler.
>>3455042
I always thought it was a big duck.
For the longest time I thought she was smoking a stogie.
>>3455497
Awwww yeah.
Tower.
>>3455342
I've always imagined some sort of lion/dog hybrid (with the stocky terrier body), but it had a giant assed blade sticking out of his mouth.
>>3455497

who the hell takes more than a second to think about map technicalities in an rpg
big gun Sigma's head is a fuckin mess
>>3455634
so is bilinear filtering on material that contains a lot of distinct objects on a very small number of pixels
>>3456071
>Can't figure out what the head looks like at all. What is it?
>>3456185
Oh wow. That looks nothing like I thought it might have been.
>>3456185
Actually makes sense now. Damn, good job anon.
Who else beakpeon?
>>3456327
literally no one ever
>>3456327
no one
>>3456327
you are the same anon who mentioned seeing an angry peon on the warcraft thread a month ago, aren't you? ekek
>>3456327
I saw beakpeon.
>>3456327
>>3456327
I can only see beakpeon
>>3457213
>is that akira's official concept art?
Doubt it, doesn't look like his style and filename says its a work in progress.
>>3456185
I always saw it like this
>>3455031
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here...
>>3458093
whoever this nigga is fighting sigma with no heart tanks is a champion.
>>3456327
I saw what you saw Anon, just a smug bastard.
>>3455346
Wait you mean he's not crying out in pain with his mouth wide open when he dies? What the fuck is it supposed to look like then?
>>3458167
The red part are his eyes doing a > < face. The T shape below is his moustache and the open mouth
>>3458093
I saw it that way too
>>3456185
too many equally sized random features on too little surface, and a not-clearly-humanoid head. They had it coming for them
>>3458093
Wow, that's pretty obvious too. I never saw it that way, but I couldn't make sense of what it was at all.
>>3455346
kek
>>3457696
So he just sits down and watches poke fights?
>comfy
>>3455042
The head is like the glass thing in a jet.
>>3455342
>>3456327
I used to see him looking strange as a child, something lIke BeaK Peon with his head turned to the side in some sort of coy gesture. Now though it is hard for me to see it wrong. If I went back to play it on a small-ish CRT I could probably make myself see it wrong all over again.
>>3455634
Someone did a diagram based on this, but I don't have it at this moment.
>>3456327
I saw beakpeon at first, but it got harder to see once I saw it correctly.
Emperor Gestahl always did look like a dog to me.
>>3455038
>/b/aby trying too hard
>>3455634
If you already know how Sigma's supposed to look normally (eye tattoos and forehead orb thing) then I don't see how you can miss that it's his leering face.
>>3460067
Yeah, those do look like ears.
>>3456327
>small/ignore
You know you're on the wrong path if ANY part of a sprite or low resolution artwork requires this annotation to make sense. In pixel art every single pixel counts, more than ever. You'd never put features there that are "too small" or "can be ignored", because then you'd spend these pixels on something more important instead
>>3456327
How, I repeat, HOW mind-numbingly retarded do you have to be to actually see it that way? I feel really sorry for you. You already posted this shit in these threads a lot of times, no one saw the same as you, which is no surprise. You're a fucking retard.
>>3460971
this.
i guess goombas are supposed to be evil mushrooms? like toad, but bad?and brown?
>>3455031I tried to draw something today.
That was a mistake.
It should get my point across.
>>3461015
For what purpose someone drew this?
>>3455559
I thought she was holding out a banana.
>>3459991
>>3459595
>>3458180
>>3458174
>>3458153
>>3456185
>>3455634
Here, decided to draw what we all thought it was and what it really was.
>>3461050
that looks competent, well done
>>3459683
That's what I always thought it looked like, yeah.
>>3461008
Their Japanese name means chestnut, or something like that. I guess Miyamoto thought they looked like nuts, but in the US manual at least I think they were referred to as mushrooms turned evil.
>>3456327
I saw it as beakpeon as a kid
Alternatively "every single WC3 icon ever" but that's not /vr/
Hey, it seemed pretty logical in my mind given the general aesthetics of the game.
>>3455526
hahaha, i thought the same thing. It's those fuckin Donald Duck arms, dude.
>>3461283
i dont see either of those things
>>3461283
>>3461454
i still can't see anything else. how is it supposed to be the other thing?
>>3456327
why cant i beakpeon ;_;
>>3456327
wait holy shit i can see it if i cover up the right half of it
>>3459683
That's definitely what I saw.
I thought her hair was her hands, I don't know what I thought her arms were
>>3461015
whoa. to this day (I played Silver yesterday) saw this like first draw
This is an NPC from Final Fantasy IV (II back in the day). Now I can see that it is just a guy with a blonde beard but as a kid I thought it was like an anthropomorphic yellow elephant man. Especially from the side view, the beard looks like the trunk and the hair is the ears.
>>3457196
lol, I drew this one. Its so bad.
>>3461230
no fucking way you just changed my life
>What it was
Link
>What I saw
An anthropomorphic rat. It made sense to younger me considering there was the animal village in the game and the fact that Link got turned into a bunny in LttP.
>>3461050
fuck this is news to me
>>3461015
Wow, thanks dude.
Until now I thought he had a tiny arm.
>>3455042
I always saw his head as a jet canopy with an eyeball in it
>>3463421
It's not like you're super far off. He's got pointed ears and a big nose; elf-child isn't a far cry from rat-child.
>>3455497
The perspective makes it look like a tower. I have no idea why you'd think otherwise unless you were told so.
>>3464443
You can clearly tell that the center portion is elevated above the rest of the object, which is a (relatively) flat surface. They could have done a better job of portraying its map sprite, though.
>>3464482
The center part looks like its jutting out from the side of a tall object just as much.
Surprised no one posted this one yet
>>3464519
>>3464524
>>3460067
....He wasn't a dog?
>>3464632
He's actually supposed to look something like this
Last-minute bump.
>>3461667
>lol
>>3460067
Fuck I always thought he was an anthropomorphic dog.
>>3467457
Everytime
Also I thought Charging Chucks were Robocop-like cyborgs.
Fuckin' croissants....
>>3469701
>croissants
>>3467454
Give him black slippers plickes plockes
As a kid I was very confused why the toads grew hair and sat in a lounging position on the bikes. I now understand that is wrong, but I still see it that way...
>>3455042
I thought it was one of Frieza's forms.
>>3472836
>>3472838
>>3472838
Wait, is this right or isn't it?
That's what I'm seeing.
Does anyone have the Costanza one? I cant seem to find it.
>>3474497
All I'm seeing is smooshed grapes.
Ever since the LttP race at SGDQ16 I cannot unsee this.
>>3455634
People had trouble with this? How the fuck. You guys are so creative.
>>3467458
hahaha
I thought the BFG was a hover scooter and not a shoulder-mounted gun.
>>3472836
yeah
this exactly for me
>>3461050
good job
always saw him as left pic
>>3459683
mouth-sword-beast would make a cool enemy
>>3472836
oh wow you've mind blown me good sir. I always saw the dumb guy looking face. still cant unsee
>>3455050
>>3469701
Hey! It's That One Bug That Looks Like A Croissant That You Can Freeze And Use As A Platform!
>>3455031
I always saw the right one but I do admit that left looks way scarier
It's a snake biting its own tail.
I saw just a pile of junk.
I thought these guys were friendly blob monsters with one eye and a big smiling mouth.
>>3457696
I thought I was the only one
I'm embarrassed by how much time it took to me to notice this...
>>3479541
Thought it was a dragon curled into a ball, the top left green light is his eye and the metal thing is his little horn
>>3480421
Stop lying, you didn't see anything remotely like that.
>>3480471
I was a kid, chill.
Why would i lie about that?
>>3480090
welp, can't ever unsee that now
>>3480478
>>3478512
>>3475685
Be right back, making this a thing...
>>3455497
Shadow Wars return. Makes sense to think it was a tower though considering it transformed from Ocean Palace which has a long elevator segment.
Oddly enough it's only the FFI Goblin that mystified me.
Every other Goblin afterwards did look Goblin-like to me.
>>3480824
>4 hours
Come on anon, don't leave us hanging.
>>3479265
Is that what it's supposed to be? Because I don't see anything else.
>>3480803
I GET IT.
>Jackthe Ripper
>>3479265
This slays me. Holy shit.
Fatal Fury 1 on SNES
>>3478517
Daaaah nah nah nah nuh nah nuuuuuh...
>>3480931
I don't know why but this picture makes me really like the goblin design from FF1.
Never really stopped to think about it I guess, but they're pretty neat.
What's a threat to some low level hero wannabes? Holy fuck, there's a lot of goblins and they all have knives! Fucking fry them, black mage!
>>3461050
Funny, I can have my brain pop between the two interpretations, though for the left one I see it more as a nose sticking out over the brown mouth parts.
>>3479541
I never knew what the fuck it was supposed to be, I just called them red donuts.
>>3464482
always thought first image was a cool cyclops mech
>>3480931
I can't understand what you saw at all. All I see is goblin. Help?
>>3482009
oh god, i'm dying
>>3482009
fucking kek
I've never understood this sprite. What's happening to his shoulder? It looks like he's shrugging, like he's saying "Ayyy, my pizza!" as he's running.
>>3486021
It looks to me like he's reaching over his shoulder for his sword.
>>3486123
That's exactly what he's doing. If you attack while running, he pulls the sword out from behind him and slashes downward quickly.
>>3486137
I don't see it. I'm trying, but I can't.
>>3486186
The red part of his arm just above his head is his armguard, which starts just below the elbow.
>>3486196
That helps! Thank you, based anoon.
>>3455342
I thought those were centaurs with huge white tiddys
>>3486021
He's reaching over his shoulder, holding the hilt of his sword, which is in a sheath on his back so that he's ready to slash with it at any moment.
>>3464524
Oh shi-
I see it after all these years.
>>3455634
>>3456185
Can't fucking unsee it now.
>>3484526
The white space in the middle of the hat looks like a large empty eye.
The red part in the middle of the hat is a big nose.
The green part looks like sagging eye sacs.
The Goblin's whole face looked like a Flintstones mouth, with the eye being clenching teeth.
The shoulder spike looked like the end of a fox tail.
So in conclusion I saw a Hanna-Barbera monster knockoff instead of an actual goblin.
Hope that helped.
I cannot believe how fucking retarded each and every single one of you are.
I mean holy shit how do you misinterpret things so freakin badly?
>>3461015
You still didn't get it right. He doesn't have a beard, his lower face is just in shadow from the brim of his hat.
>>3488302
the way I would see these is the dagger was a long beak coming out of the hat area (which I saw as a bigger head). basically the black background fooled me into thinking the part under the tip of the hat was its "face"
>>3487385
nice tits
>>3487989
>how fucking retarded
>how do you misinterpret things
Those were different times back then.
You wouldn't know.
>>3488470
the guy who said that is a numale who streams shitty speedrun attempts of meme NES games on twitch to an average audience of 5.
he didn't play these games when he was a kid, so he has no idea how a kid would interpret them.
should be banned, desu.
>>3488475
In all reality they should make us send a scan of our state/province/whatever issued ID to prove we were born at a time when these consoles would have been relivent to even LOOK at the board.
/sarcasm
>>3487385
Quaid, START THE REACTOR!
>>3461465
>>3461283
>>3488046
I'm not the person you're replying to, but you're wrong.
The official generation 1 and 2 anime, manga and games depicted him with a beard. Most later generations did, too.
The only time hikers haven't been depicted with beards are the trainer sprites from gen 3.
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Hiker_%28Trainer_class%29
(Scroll down to see the artwork and sprites)
>>3461040
i wish she'd hold my banana
>>3455559
I thought she was holding either a slug or a breadstick.
Even though these hopping vampires are in manual and even on the friggin' box, I thought they were kung fu guys doing jump kicks.
I always saw the non-mushroom enemies as dudes with cat-hats, but I just noticed they're actually goblins with open mouths with fangs.
>>3470616
>Only one I really saw and it's not retro
FUCK
>>3490443
In this case it's not that far off.
>>3490443
It's actually a chinese folklore , the dead wouldn't be able to walk so they hop after their victim
>>3464524
I... Jesus christ, I always thought the sprite seemed a little weird. I've been wrong for almost 20 years?
>>3492380
Yes, due to rigor mortis.Just learned that's the way to spell "rigor mortis."
>>3464524
This makes him look like that guy on those spicy snacks. You know the one I'm talking about? I haven't had one of those in years.
>>3490621
Okay, this is a legit mindblow. I had to stare at this picture for about 2 minutes before I could see the real goblin. Wow.
>>3467458
I never understood this one
At last I finally see
why does Link's hood turn into a bowler hat
>>3475495
I haven't played that game in a decade, but I wasn't aware that wasn't supposed to be a cowboy hat. Always looked like that to me. Hell, it looks like it right in the thumbnail there.
>>3492451
You mean this guy?
>>3493036
That's the one.
I see a lot of other people mis-seeing the original Pokemon sprites. They really didn't do a great job on them.
>>3493096
It wasn't a log of wood all along?
How else is he gonna club wild pokeman into submission?
>>3490621
looks like a cute little dude wearing one of those anime cat hoods
>>3493096
holy fuck. that candy is cute
>>3492985
>>3461015
Mind === blown.
>>3467457
my sides
>>3490621
I dont think so, otherwise the remake would be wrong
>>3490621
Nono. You were right the first time. Imps look pretty cute in the other games
>>3464519
he looks like pokey from earthbound
>>3490621
>>3480471
not him, i too saw that thing
the purple part was just fucking weird
>>3495542
Either samefag or retarded.
>>3480471
I still see a fez wearing trans bear in front of a yellow sheet of paper
I had a really weird way of seeing Agahnim. I thought the part that's supposed to be the illuminated part of his face resembled insect or spider fangs, so I thought he was some kind of anthropomorphic spider man
>>3496128
That's actually way cooler.
>>3496128
Not necessarily a spider, but I saw that as his mouth too. Saw him as some sort of demon/monster thing.
>>3464742
>General Leo
>Caucasian
I suggest you open up the menu when he's in your party.
>>3496952
I suggest you do the same
>>3496997
That is a black man.
>>3497002
No, it's this thing called a "shadow". You can tell by the light portions of the face being the same color as the light portions of Edgar and Locke's portraits. The on map sprite is also white, so is the battle sprite.
>Leo's skin color is a topic of debate as his skin is dark in Yoshitaka Amano's artwork and in his menu portrait, as well as having facial features of a dark-skinned man, while his sprite is white. His sprite being white-skinned is due to color palette limitations within the game. Playable characters, NPCs, and objects share palettes between themselves. For instances, Celes color palette is the same as Leo's. In the mobile version the field sprite has darker skin.
>In the mobile version the field sprite has darker skin.
That settles it. He's black as coal.
>>3497074
>In the non-canon/non-original/demake version his skin is dark
>In every other instance he's white
There you have it, nigger.
>>3497081
In the concept, which is the original menu portrait too he's negro.
If it was FF4 or before, when concepts and sprites/backgrounds where incredibly different you'd had a half point but VI being one of the most Amano-friendly game in the series it's doubtful the concept is off.
>>3455031
For the longest time I thought Hare was just a wrong surname like Falco Lombardi (since Falco is a pheasant), it wasn't until Adventures came out that I realized he was a rabbit
I thought he was adonkey
>>3496961
Wow. Can't unsee that now.
>>3497268
bruh, he had a 3d model
>>3497235
He looks like SFV Nash with the half real, half zombie face.
>>3463421
> he skips the intro cinematics
you deserve it
>>3496961
Oh god, Princess ultra jew.
>>3497973
JMKP?
Jewish Mushroom Kingdom Princess?
>>3455050
Truer words were never put in a picture and spoken.
>>3455031
It's not the left? It looks like the left. How do you know it's not the left?
>>3461651
def thought these guys were some kind of creature. now my eyes are open. Blonde. Beard. got it.
>>3478172
Those look tasty. Shit I'm hungry. brb
Not a mindblow, but anyway
>>3497268
As someone who never played a Starfox game in his life and only knows the main character, from that pic it looks like a donkey to me as well.
>>3497268
>>3500736
>>3497432
Are you fucking telling me this is not a donkey
>>3500672
The left is modified to illustrate the point. The right is the unmodified sprite.
I always though these were roses-like flowers. Since Yoshi's Island had flowers everywhere, like a hippy cartoon, I thought this made sense.
Then I realized they looked like stars in the manual.
>>3478107
>I'm sorry ma'am, your husband is dead
>Work related accident
>Apparently his office chair was of poor quality
>Short version, he got a pneumatic piston shot up his ass and bled to death
>Stop laughing ma'am, this is serious

It's more obvious when he stands upright and in profile that the blue things are horns.
>>3475495
>official artwork depicts him with a wizrd hat
>sequel backtracks on the wizard hat and decides "no actually he really does have a cone head"
>>3463421
I thought he looked like some kind of lemming thing.
Also, back when I had no idea what Zelda was, I thought Link in Zelda 2 was some kind of pig man.
>>3498923
Ffffffffff mind blown. Its not a claw? Shiiiet
>>3501961
Goddammit.
>>3501021
Until now, I had thought Sci Vessels were like what you saw. Fuck my childhood. Thanks Obama.
>>3456327
I saw beakpeon when i was a kid
>>3456327
Now with my glasses off and as a thumbnail, I can finally see it.
>>3461465
I also thought it was Dr.Dooms purple cousin in a basecap.
>>3456327
I see it, but it's painful. Why would you give your brain that much struggle?
>>3501956
man, when I was little I thought his sword was his forearm that was grasping his shield (which I thought was his sword). stupid palette limitations.
>>3501903
That's adorable.
>>3503272
Really? I think it looks like one of John K's little ugly goblin men
>>3464527
oh shit
