The helmet and cape wearing protagonist of doom is the greatest single contribution to GAF

Is this some crappy fanart?Shit, so it is. It looks that way on the sprite too
Agh from A Link to the Past.
I personally have a really hard time seeing his hat's gem stone as a mouth...
it is amazing to me that people claim they never saw the guy on the left i though it was that for YEARS
Also, the Gen 1 and 2 sprites for Metapod always threw me off. It only became clear later on when they changed position on the sprite.
That's some imagination. Not even forcing myself I can see this.I always kinda thought Red's back sprite in the original gen1 games was just him sitting down on the field...

Its an ear.Yeah I always saw that as him with his arms out, braced for battle. And that "eye" is definitely a sideburn.

Still strange to come to that conclusion.
Were kids totally ignoring any concept art on the box? A lot of these surprise me at how far off the mark they are.From a similar thread on this that we had before http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=854929

Not a sprite, but a related example most of us should be familiar with:
Those orange things are not the eyes.

I actually did see it as him sitting. Not the eye thing you point out though.
I've...never thought about it too hard before. Kinda just realized now that he isn't sitting.
When I first saw this sprite in a blurry screenshot I did think he was sitting (I didn't really have any context to the screenshot). Not the eye thing, always saw his head facing in the direction of his opponent.
Took me a while to stop seeing the sitting pose and seeing the correct pose when I finally got the game.
This is one of the few unambiguous sprites in the game. I have no idea how you saw those things

I had to close my good eye and hold my phone way out to even come close to seeing that.Took me a while but I finally saw it.
For those who can't see:
I always saw it as a guy wearing a turbin.I do love Shovel Knight, but there's this merchant character, Chester - and I can't quite make out what he's supposed to look like. There's definitely something funky going on with this sprite's face.
Apparently this is what the sprite is supposed to represent... I'm not seeing it.
Holy crap!!! Doing this actually got me to see it. HahahaI had to close my good eye and hold my phone way out to even come close to seeing that.
Did bit of photoshopping on that pokemon sprite. Like this?

I always figured it was his armor's core, seeing as how he loses his armor after this. Plus, when you play as X and encounter the downed Zero, his arm is clearly cut off and fallen in the same place that this orb thing is, and he loses his buster.Thanks for the necro. :')
I'll add one more: downed X in Mega Man X5 intro stage:
Might be just me, but I can't figure out what the part indicated by the arrow is. Is it :
- X's right foot, him being in a weird open leg position
- X's right knee destroyed and separated from his leg
?

That is exactly what it is. At least it has always looked like the shoulder pad to me.I've always assumed it to the the shoulder pad of X's armor considering it is missing on his left shoulder. I could be wrong of course.

Funny thing is I struggle to see the sitting position now, but that sprite is a crisp enlargement compared to how people would have originally seen it, small and blurry on a GameBoy.
I always saw it as a guy wearing a turbin.
The Gestahl minion in FFXIV is a dog, SE were obviously aware of that one
"SE" as in the FFXIV team, who are for the most part young people whose first experience with FFVI was as mere fans. I don't know about the FFVI team though.
