[Riposte]

I had to google Bonk to remember what he looked like.


wtf, why does the poster above me have such a small table for his name/avatar?

 

[blame space]

.

isn't this minish cap link

 

[whitehawk]

Wait, Ash had a visible mouth? This is blowing my mind.

 

[revolverjgw]

Without validating or invalidating your suggestion, I just wanna point out that this is about a character which was commiting genocide on indigenous peoples, and it's from a game in which you rape indigenous women. I think it's important to acknowledge that whenever this game is brought up.

Their resistance only made his penis harder

 

[Narag]

Alucard from SOTN.

 

[MechaX]

Everyone loves Phoenix. Except Capcom of America, that is.

Only a foolishly foolish fool would not love Phoenix.

Or Franziska for that matter.

Someone is going to tell you that's not Ash, but Red. Even Yellow version.

If you're using a screen resolution that can't contain an embedded image without the need for a horizontal scroll bar, the username div will be "squashed" somewhat.

o... kay?

Anyways, I vote Pacman. Can't get as simple and iconic as that.

Alucard from SOTN.

It sometimes amazes me how small sprites were back then at their original base, they work so well with handheld systems these days.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Also Morrigan, :teehee

not the most reused....l

Yeah but they're usually blown up to much larger.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

:shakes fist:

Why must you taunt me so?

Bonk just sticks out to me. Guess I went in a little too deep.

That's not Ash, it's-

Someone is going to tell you that's not Ash, but Red. Even Yellow version.

Er, Bl- I no it's um J-Jack!

 

[Platy]

Elena from SF3 is pretty awesome too.

Fixed for a better image

For the general public:

More closer to

That starfish on fire thing

 

[Davey Cakes]

People are saying Alucard from SotN, but what about the original Simon Belmont?

It could almost come off as generic but, it just doesn't. You know that's Simon, and you know it's from Castlevania (or at least a Castlevania game). You can even tell that it's not Trevor.

[Byronic Hero]

Oh Franny, I'd take you over Morrigan any day.

 

[ZealousD]

I'm going to go with pacman.

Pac-Man essentially wins the thread without any competition.

The sprite is so recognizable that anything that when anything resembles it, people say it looks like Pac-Man. For example, a pie with a piece cut out always reminds people of Pac-Man.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

More closer to

That * thing

Oh, wow. Well played, sir.

 

[Bog]

CUSTARD...why do I know this

Custard? Really, dude?

 

[Heart of Black]

Motherfuckin Abobo

And of course


Kunio Kun

The main guy from CaveStory shall be my contribution to this thread.

That starfish on fire thing

Perfect beyond words

Some of my most memorable would be from Star Ocean 2

Especially the secret bosses, but I cant find any of them...

 

[TheOGB]

Also Morrigan, :teehee

I was expecting Morrigan in the OP

 

[pants]

.

lmfao

 

[Finaika]

 

[ScepticMatt]

+1 for Pacman sprites

 

[MisterHero]

Elena from SF3 is pretty awesome too.

what a sexy extrusion

 

[DIrtyWeasel]

Same here... The OP should post an image because Bonk is far from the most recognizable.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Same here... The OP needed to post an image because Bonk is far from the most recognizable.

Was just uploading to imgur. :|

 

[Slygmous]

I was going to say Mai from Fatal Fury/KOF, as I knew and recognised her for years before ever trying the games. However, searching for classic Mai gifs brings up waaay too much porn, so have these instead.

Thanks, and WTF?!

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Maybe I'm stuck in the 80's or something but I'm genuinely surprised at the lack of Red Arremer. Maybe I'm showing my age but his dance and attack arc are forever burned into my skull.

 

[ihearthawthats]

pac-man is too unfair, so i'll say mega man. there are a lot of sprite edits people do that you can instantly know it was based off mega man, even though it looks nothing like the mega man character. that's when you know it's great sprite design and not just a popular character.

 

[Kokonoe]

 

[ULTROS!]

I'm surprised no one posted a Megaman sprite yet:

You sure about that? (post #8)

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Guys, COD actually has some legitimate widely known sprites:

 

[Dereck]

Nvm

 

[Christina Mackenzie]

 

[TheOGB]

Sonic Advance Sonic, and all the original characters (do not steal) and sprite comics/animations it inspired

 

[Jawmuncher]

I couldn't find a pic but my vote is going to Solid Snake from Ghost Babel

For being so small and with no face, anyone who knows SS is going to know who that is.
