Jay and I cracked the code

NO NOT THE DA VINCI CODE PAY ATTENTION FUCKBOY

So I showed him a sprite I made from scratch right

and he say is good

but we agreed the eye is hard to actually see at x1 resolution

so I was researching NES sprites to see how they handle this problem

and most of them just use a flat black for everybody's eyes

Then it dawned on us...

THAT'S WHY THERE ARE NO BLACK PEOPLE IN OLD VIDYO GAMS!

PLS PROVIDE COUNTER EXAMPLES IF U KNO ANY DOUGH

 

This exactly, is an exception. But besides Tyson, who else?

 

The thing about Punch Out is that the sprites are huge compared to someone like Mario or Megaman. But while Punch Out is being brought up, I should mention Doc and Mr Sandman.

 

according to this thing, there's only six black nes characters.

although it's clearly 7 since the idiot forgot mike tyson but mentioned the other characters in his own game?????

Doesn't exactly void the example but that is probably why it worked in that case

 

If I remember correctly from a few original sprite game designers, they avoided using humans in general since sprites that small were harder to design as standalone designs and didn't look like copy/pastes of each other and more cartoon designs fitted with the creative freedom given by video game design, and weren't restricted to just designing humans.
