What's your favourite sprite art from a video game?

Yes! I never thought of it like that, they do look like they're from a flash game. You've managed to make me dislike them even more lol.

I couldn't stomach the street fighter HD "sprites" at all, and they were terribly animated.

Garou and SFIII worked because they got smooth animations.

They thought it was a good idea to upscale without taking into account that the original choppy were made because of technical limitations.

Then they went a bit too smoothly in SFV while Guilty Gear Xrd got the lesson better.

Although I prefer the X - XX era sprites:

X/XX sprites are elite.
Side note but on the topic of guilty gear, I always thought Chipp got less and less badass with each game. Look at his PS1 design!

I also think the sprite work in under night is fantastic / well animated. It obviously takes a leaf out of GGX's book.

Chipp looks younger and thinner now...

And yes, high resolution aliased sprites (which almost look 3D there) will always look better than the weirdly blurry ones from.
