ITT: Misread sprites

you didnt see that

Retard

>>717334814 (OP)
looks more like a racial caricature of an african american man than whatever the fuck you saw

>>717334903
what

I always thought that gold used lipstick

>>717334814 (OP)
Impossible because if you talk with them from the side they turn their heads and even talk they are playing a game boy.

Ciel's portraits in Megaman Zero 2 to 4
She's meant to have pink cheeks but the way they're drawn it looks like she's got eyebags

>>717334814 (OP)
Took me a while to realize it was a gameboy, not a huge cup of coffee. But this is just forced.

>>717335039
i thought it was a cup too for a while

>>717334986
I never talked to them

>>717334814 (OP)
Made this ages back.

>>717335147
I see this too, fuck. This sprite kinda sucks.

>>717334814 (OP)

>>717334814 (OP)
I thought it was a white beard, with the black part being his mouth and it was just some old man with dyed black hair.

>>717335147
Yes that sprite is really bad

>>717334814 (OP)
thats a gameboy?

>>717334814 (OP)
Thought it was a pacifier for some reason

>>717335437
Playing this game as a kid that doesn't know english really made me think he was holding a cup of coffee or something similar.

>>717335553
they just sit around like theyre taking a break, its completely reasonable.

>>717335553
No it didn’t.

>>717335553
...what does not knowing english have anything to do with what you saw?

>>717335701
Because if you talk with them their dialog is all about playing on a gameboy or trading using link cable...

>>717335147
in your illustration of the profile view you didn't even try to look at the sprite and it's instead 100% based on your misunderstanding of the front-facing sprite.

>>717334814 (OP)

>>717335147
Holy fuck, I still see the it to this day despite knowing it's wrong. I just understood what they were going for just now. The black spot above her eyes/ruby was a mistake, it's hard to not see eyes there.

I thought he was holding a mug of hot cocoa.

>>717334814 (OP)

I always thought it was a mug.

>>717335027
The way she's overworked in the Resistance allows it to be eyebags too.

>>717335749
The point still stands.
There's like a million official localizations.
Unless he's speaking some obscure swahili dialect it's virtually impossible that the game wasn't translated into his language.

>>717341367
I don't understand what do you mean by this? It's very clear that these npcs are there to teach you about game mechanics like trading and what Pokemon evolve with link cable... This isn't comparable to changing localized names from japanese to English? Weird post.

>>717334814 (OP)
I vaguely remember those game boy kids talking about things that implied they were in fact playing on their game bois, so I never thought of them as anything else.

>>717342902
Kek it kinda looks like porky/pokey from earthbound.

>>717334814 (OP)
trying too hard. you never saw it this way and nobody ever saw it this way you attention whoring faggot

>>717341879
You can also talk to them from the side where their head turns but the gameboy stays forward

>>717343363
I got that one too

I was about to explain, but basically this. I thought the pattern on his hat were eyeholes and his curly orange hair was a big fat bulbous nose

>>717343756
Quagmire if he puppet.

>>717338992
Wait, I haven't touched Pokemon since Gen 3 so I haven't ever seen any sprite / model other than this. Is that NOT what it is? Is that not his nose?

>>717342902
Same. That headband is so huge for no reason in the sprite.
>>717343756
I also misinterpreted Geno but in a different way. I interpreted his curls as eyes, hard to explain I guess.

>>717334814 (OP)

Always wondered why she was screaming…

>>717343756
I also saw the yellow parts as eyes.
The orange curl was a nose and the eye was a big grinning smile.

>>717334814 (OP)
To me it looks just like it's his torso

>>717343756
when he stands diagonally, his orange thing looks like a big nose

>>717344329
It's his belly

>>717334814 (OP)
How the FUCK did this happen?

>>717345783
>Final concept art vs average fat art

>>717345743
Unbelievable. Why would they make it look so much like a nose in the original sprite. Those crazy slants

Someone post the hitmonchan one

Heh. Reminds me of the Lana's mom situation.

>>717346046
There is already a nose pokemon in gen 3 anyway.

>>717346092
Would rape. Along with her daughter(s).

>>717334814 (OP)
I thought it showed both eyes for squirtle

>>717346320
no you didn't.
these threads have become totally contrived. People are just pretending to be retarded.

>>717346320
>>717346410
Yeah, the only believable face you can see from this other than the correct one is:

Left eye winking
Right eye open,
Mouth very small, open

Looks a bit like a sultry Kirby.

>>717345783
Now post the comparison of his old vs new art

I thought hisnnose was a cannister placed below his chin.

>>717347351
What it is supposed to be actually?

I thought that the security guards in Pokemon Red/Blue were women with long braids but it turns out they’re arms.

>>717334814 (OP)
Always thought Mario was an ant.

>>717347476
exploding lizard skull

>>717347476
Skull being destroyed by a blast. The mandible is in the bottom part of the icon.

>>717347476
broken skull in a sandstorm i think. 7 is the nose, the dudes head is the eye.

>>717335119
is... that not what it is?

>>717347351
Warcraft icons are cheating in these threads.

>>717347736
forgot pic

>>717334814 (OP)
I thought it was a coffee cup

>>717347351
no matter how hard I try, I can only see the bottom

>>717338992
I can't conceptualize this no matter how much I try

>>717347970
wat

>>717347970
you're trying way too hard
be embarrassed

>>717347970
What kind of drug makes you see like this? And why did you start it in such an young age?

>>717347351
I still have a hard time to see a skull kek

>>717335437
Yeah I always thought it looked like they were holding mugs

>>717347970
... How?

I remember this one from that fucking tiny portrait on a shitty CRT.

>>717346092
>>717346213
Lana's mom is the best mom because she produces only clones of herself. Perhaps she doesn't even need a male to do so, if that is the case having fun with he daughters wouldn't be incest.
Not that anyone would care anyways...

>>717335027
Why is she slowly turning towards the camera?

>>717338992
how

>>717346940
Actually me

>>717337917
captain vidya. I miss this guy.

>>717334814 (OP)
I saw Blanka from SF2, not the beaker.

>>717349542
And the big eye is a ear.

>>717334814 (OP)
>sees everyone making fun of OP
H-haha, yeah... who would see something like that...

>>717334814 (OP)
i thought it was a kid searching his backpack

>>717347351
This is crazy I can totally see it

>>717350496
It's a classic for a reason

>>717334814 (OP)
It was obvious he was playing a Gameboy you forced meme faggot.

>>717347818
hands are ears
red below chin is his heart

>>717347351
Kek
>>717347876
Really though. I always thought critical strike was a crab pincer, among other miseen ones

>>717346046
You are actually retarded

>>717347579
?
They are not arms though

>>717347579
Yeah, this is probably the shoddiest sprite in the game and that is saying a lot.

>>717345783
How did anyone think she was dressed as an office lady? I wonder who came up with that idea first. I guess her fanon appearance has been canonized by now so there's no point in arguing..

>>717334858
Not begin but I also had that duck-like impression.

>>717335147
I think the sprite only makes sense if you played OoT

>>717350610
>Hands are ears
B-bullshit... I don't believe your lies...

>>717350610
for real thought, what is it supposed to be? I've never not seen a smile

>>717335250
Fucking lol

>>717334814 (OP)
I originally thought the in-battle player character back sprite was Mario sitting slumped over like a teddy bear.

>>717338992
This one doesn't make any sense. Why would the nose be there seeing clearly that there are two eyes and a separation without head and body? Wouldn't the arms be coming out of the head? It does not make sense

>>717334814 (OP)
That's stupid.

Although I did always think that that guy was holding a coffee cup.

>>717335119
I see it that way too, kek

>>717347818
Anon, Mario has a moustache. And he would not be happy when dying.

>>717347818
Mario is making a :o face

>>717354265
that's even worse

>>717341367
For Gen 1 and 2? Pretty sure on the West it's just in four languages

>>717354728
kek

>>717347970
your joke worked, anon, I laughed, thank you

>>717335027
I always had a headcanon about her health deteriorating with each gane

I always pictured him drinking coffee

I still have a hard time accepting that the black omen wasn't a floating tower

Suck my ass, I can't draw.

>>717355324
That actually pretty likely considering the increasingly escalating stake of the series.

>>717356042
I bet you $100 that the middle part is also not what it is supposing to be.

>>717347061

Unironically one of the most seethe inducing mechanics in recent memory.

>>717347476

>>717356758
>>717356893
What game is this and what happens?

>>717346940
that's not its nose?

>>717334814 (OP)
The 2nd gen main character always looked like he had a huge mouth. Even though he mouth is just supposed to be the those two pixels.

>>717336992
Literally how I saw for a long time. Eyes being even smaller than that actually, without eyebrows
>>717337917
Sega could make Robotnik dress like this once as a joke.

>>717335250
Kek I'll never unsee it now

>>717357049
Void Stranger, a sokoban puzzle game with some very cool mechanics. You should check it out if you're into puzzles.

Not gonna spoil what the thing does, but if you don't pay attention it can easily fuck up an hour or more of progress.

>>717335119
You'd have to not know what Mario looks like to see it that way

>>717351912
That's his beard combined with a surprised open mouth from dying.

>>717347970
you have to explain this before the thread dies. Is the mustache the ant? the eyes? where do you see an ant?

>>717337917
i saw this too

>>717334814 (OP)
Its clearly a guy drinking a nice cup of coffee.

>>717355821

Soulless

>>717342902
I always thought it was a wizard being mind-controlled by an octopus on his head.

>>717365957
How did it know its a skull?
>>717366123
Less soulless than the official "hd" version.

>>717334814 (OP)
less misinterpreted and more not having all the info but I didn't know it had legs and thought gardevior glided across the ground with her psychic power and that was meant to reinforce her design as a ballroom dancer

>talk to him from the side
>he turns his head

>>717337917
better to burn out than to fade away I suppose

>>717367012
I recognized it as a skull based on visual features present in the image: the shape includes a rounded top, cavities resembling eye sockets, and a jawline, all of which are characteristic of a skull. The design and coloration are similar to common stylized representations of skulls in video game icons or fantasy artwork. These distinct elements together make it identifiable as a skull.

>>717346320
This what I saw...

>>717368781
anon what the fuck

>>717368372
But it looks like a footballer with a number 7 shirt

Always thought he had fucked up gills like a catfish.

>>717369918
It's understandable that the image could be interpreted in different ways. The blurry and stylized nature of the image can make certain visual elements ambiguous. The area that resembles the rounded top and eye sockets of a skull could, at first glance, also appear as a person leaning forward, possibly with a number or marking on their back, which might evoke the image of a footballer with a "7" shirt.

However, based on the common use of this icon style and color palette—especially the use of reds, oranges, and the highlighted "bone-like" structures—it's most likely intended to represent a stylized skull, which is a frequent motif in fantasy games or digital iconography. The perception of a footballer can happen due to the way our brains look for familiar shapes and figures, especially when the image is not sharply defined.

This is a great example of pareidolia, where the mind responds to a stimulus by perceiving a familiar pattern where none actually exists. If this image comes from a game or software, the context of its use could give a more definite answer about its intended subject.

>>717357007
Thank you. I never played WoW. FFXI was my jam at the time. I've only ever seen
>>717347351
and it just put the football player in my head. I've seen people try to explain it but my brain kept trying to make the skull look the wrong way.

>ChatGPT wall of text
Come on, you can do better than that

>>717371096
what did you want him to do, guess at why the AI knew instead of asking it?

>>717355821
I refuse to accept this, it's a monumental floating tower

>>717371320
Yes

ENTER

>>717371429
nta but I think this is empirical proof that the skull picture was done with AI and the elites and corpos have secret access to advanced alien ai decades ago and the ai we have public today is just dripfeed from that. That explains why the ai was able to guess first try what humans would normally guess wrong

>>717346320
Wouldn't it be more of a wink?

This one got me for YEARS, I was genuinely shocked when I found out it's not a dinosaur.
To be fair it made little sense for the character to turn into a red Windows 95 dinosaur cursor when it jumps.

>>717371739
>advanced alien ai
>can't even remember my waifu's haircolour after like 100 posts

>>717347970

>>717372919
It's half of a skull + a jawbone below it
You can see one eye socket and the nose part

Unfortunately, man has not yet developed the technology to isolate certain parts of a picture, and omit undesirable aspects. it's just not possible, but give it ten to twenty years, and we might figure something out.

What this actually is: Spelling error of "It".
What I saw: "I manually told the AI that there's a skull present in the image."

Bearded and long haired elf looking up with his hands out in prayer

a tiger yawning

What is it supposed to be? All I'm seeing is a red dinosaur in rollerskates

>>717342902

>>717334814 (OP)
I never saw anything like that. The spritework is very clear in that he's holding something. When I was a kid, however, it took me a while to realize it was a Game Boy, and before then I thought it was a mug.

Thought the guy guarding Cerulean Cave in RBY was a British Royal Guard as a kid, and I'm not the only one.

As a kid I always saw a dude with a big nose looking off to the left. I asked dad what the symbol meant and he's just like "Its just a flying eagle. Thats our national bird." and the next day I spent all damn day waiting for the mail truck to see if it was an eagle or not. All day Sunday. Fack.
