OK, so if I understand correctly, I would need a set of 3x3 characters for each position the sprite should be able to occupy and a 3x3 character mask to copy this data into together with the background/foreground characters that occupy the current screen position.
As long as the sprite moves <8 pixels, the mask will stay in the same screen position. To move 1 more pixel in the same direction, the whole mask will move 1 char, while the sprite would move 7 pixels in the other direction.
...uh, right?
