Hi this is the real Oxtra and definitely not the evil twins of Ellen and Luke. You should totally forget to like this video and not bother to subscribe if you haven't already.
I shall dub thee Ella and Duke!
totally not the evil version of arros...>:)
Phew, I was worried for a second there, but the Real Ellen and Luke would definitely always introduce themselves as "The Real Oxtra, definitely not the Evil twins of Ellen and Luke!"
Carry on as normal everyone.
Boop
Definitely not evil twins-

This comment made me laugh harder than the whole video together.
"Why are you hitting your evil self?
Why are you hitting your evil self?
Why are you hitting your evil self?"
Anyone else remember this?
@@waflf3fris20 I was just riffing on the childhood bully classic "Why are you hitting yourself?"
@@toymachine2328 i know
my sense of humor is broken
@@waflf3fris20 mine too, that's why I went ahead and explained. I'm used to it
Because I want to befriend them but the only interaction mechanic the game allows me is violence.
Link losing his shadow only for it to manifest as his active and tangible alter ego in this has to be one of the coolest little twists I've come across in story-telling. That said, Shadow Link and Dark Link are two separate entities.
"...and unlike Lara, wasn't too nervous to finally try out that red hair dye that's been sitting in the bathroom cabinet for months."
I lost it!
Absolutely loving the purple hair, Ellen.
(freezes)
Shaun Speak for yourself. I’m scared. Someone hold me..
That was pretty much the first thing I thought when starting the video. Looks so nice!
It’s her evil version
Or maybe her good version
She looks like a whole different person. Its weird
"What happened?"
"Oh nothing, we just shot the sh*t. He's a really nice guy, we're going to get brunch next week!"
I was thinking about this the entire video
It's a pretty good fight in the game too.
If your 'evil' clone is such a nice guy... what does that say about you?
@@boobah5643 You're at peace with your darkness?
Nega Scott!!
"While you're left asking the big questions like ... what if they kissed right now?"
Stay thirsty, Ellen. Stay thirsty.
I never thought she would actually say such a thing, but I had been thinking something along the lines of a proper villain monologue at the end of a thrilling cat-and mouse adventure like:
"Yes, it's true. The mysterious 'bad guy' who has been one step ahead of you this whole time is your clone. I'm glad that my henchmen were able to capture you alive and bring you to my chambers. You were able to survive this long because I didn't want you dead. Have you ever played the game -- thought experiment really -- where you decide what you would do if you met another version of yourself? But what am I saying? Of course you have! I'm you, and you're me! Now, give us a kiss!"
To be fair, there's so many potential shagging options in every Bioware game that Shepherd kissing his/her clone would not be unexpected.
Truer words were never spoken before Ellen was brave enough to speak for us all.
Shoulda been a renegade option to just go for it
It's clear that Ellen's doppelganger is hosting the show - a fringeless hairstyle & deeper purple colour are dead giveaways. Expected the real Ellen, having been tied up & stashed by her renegade double, to hop through the background at some point.
Kudos Murnau oh that would have been hilarious 😂
kinky.....
same
You know there's still hope in the world, when we get to see Ellen introduce a video, rocking epic purple hair, and talk about KoA. This feels right.
And she didn't get interrupted~ There is a silver lining to the entire situation
U kno what's funny? The 1st time i saw Ellen mention her love of KoA i was like okay from now on she's kool an i like her cuz i honestly thought 4 years that i was the only one who loved KoA lol, I STILL remember my WarMage which was inspired by legend of the seeker (the books) fondly. We kicked much Ass!
@@DeathDealA I think, I'm the only one too, but not anymore
@@DeathDealA Master Rahl guide us...
@@sjonnieplayfull5859 Master Rahl teach us. Master Rahl protect us. In your light we thrive. Uhhhh i forgot the rest lol
Kid Icarus: uprising has the definition of fighting a cooler you. Not only do you create dark Kid Icarus, but you create him before he's under the influence of Pandora. So, he ends up cool enough to be independent, have sassy comebacks, and help you at the end of the game.
"Wonder who's gonna be presenting this list?"
*Ellen*
"Ah. Wonder if she's gonna choose... yep, there's Amalur."
Persona 4 is literally "fight yourself" the game. Even the protagonist fights an evil version of himself in a strange way because Adachi's persona is also Izanagi
Then theres persona 5 5 scramble...
Though a more literal example i would recomend looking at Persona 2 Innocent Sin.
Yu and Adachi also have the same voice actor
Yeah but I'd say persona 5 strikers is a better example. Adachi, while sharing similarities with Yu isn't the same as Yu. Evil joker, on the other hand, definitely, just without arsene
This sounds like a way to break it to us that Evil Luke has escaped again...
Not an escape. More like... misplaced or on an unsanctioned vacation. Anyway, I'm sure he'll turn up again at some point. Hopefully?
...
I haven't been watching these videos in order. What did I miss?
who is evil luke? lol
Evil luke? I thought normal luke was already the evil version of him
Don’t forget the Dark Prince in ‘Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones’. The unorthodox way you end up defeating him was really cool.
The main reason why I wouldn't want to see my doppelganger is pretty much because I might find out I'm the evil one
If it's the exact opposite of me, mine would be thin, very responsible, and good at math. My mom would love her more. (Does opposite include gender? Would my other self be a guy?)
@@LadyOnikara oh judging by this video I'm pretty sure the doppelgangers stays the same sex as you. You know like how negative one is still the number one but just not a positive! Does that make sense? Basically they stay the exact same sex!............
............. We would need to meet up and determine whether to kill and get rid of our other selves! Or concede and commit suicide. Because the other ones might very well be better versions of us and maybe we should realized the world would be better with them taking our place. I'M COOL WITH WHICHEVER YOU WOULD WANT TO DECIDE!!!!
5:36
We knew Ellen liked Tomb Raider, but this is new.
That's some epic cosplay, though.
Aright, who let Ellen talk about KOA: Reckoning again?
No one! She's a rebel, baby! She makes her own rules!!
YOU CAN'T STOP MEEEEEEE! ^-^
Well, at least we know she's the real Ellen and not an evil clone.
@@outsidextra ok, ok... we'll take a drink. What were the other rules in this drinking game again?
@@SymbioteMullet Luke mentioning Dark Souls or Link/Doom Guy, Mike making things go a bit Mike/Driving, and Andy monologging/cutting a promo. Also: Drink for benches and BJE. Bonus drink: You are Dead
"Who are you?"
"Im you but im your enemy and im cooler than you."
I always loved the Anti-Sora fight from KH1. And the design was so cool they brought back an updated version of it for both anti-sora drive form in KH2 and rage form in KH3!
I always called him Shadow Sora.
Too bad you can’t always be like that 😒
Now Now, perfectly symmetrical violence never solves anything
A wise hedgehog once said “You know everything I’m going to do, but that won’t help you because I know everything you’re going to do! Strange isn’t it?”
Thus I’m surprised Metal Sonic wasn’t on this list, he’s an epic robot version of sonic, if not him on this list then at the very least Shadow. He’s definitely cooler than sonic.
yeah, hello, just comming shortly buy to say... Mecha sonic > Metal Sonic
thats all, bye :P
I think it’s safe to say any sonic-like character( excluding sonic himself, and shadow because he was better than sonic in the first place) is automatically awesome
Since we’re talking about sonic and evil doubles well ya know *cough* Mephiles *cough* *cough*
Omg I remember that line from the movie; ahh memories...
Yer but has metal sonic ever obnoxiously said “I’m waaaaiiiting” and wolfed down a chilli dog? What’s cooler than that.
What about Dark Pit from Kid Icarus: Uprising? He has one of the most coolest character theme, and decided to absorb a god so he can fly on his own.
As soon as I saw the title of the video I thought of Dark Pit 😂
Even Pit calls him cool if I remember properly
The problem is, Dark Pit isn't really "evil", per se. He actually even saves Pit's life, as well as helping with several bosses. I do agree that he's awesome, though.
Professional Noob Gaming good point,so would that make dark pit an anti-hero?
Yess.
Final Fantasy IV: on his path to become a paladin, Cecil needs to fight his former self, who is still a dark knight, and frankly much cooler.
I was ready to suggest that, but I looked at the comment section to see if someone had suggested it before. Definitely counts as an evil and much cooler version of yourself.
Yes! Cecil Dark Ver. is visually cooler and also much more powerful in actual gameplay! Definitively cooler.
Who knew seeing Ellen back in a chair on a white background would make me feel nostalgic 😂 even if it’s not back in the studio it’s still awesome
Given how complicated Kingdom Hearts is, you've probably played both sides of the cooler-than-you boss fights.
If Roxas counts, then yes.
@@aardbei54 That was my guess but I wasn't sure if KH3 added even more since I never finished it
More than just Roxas. There's Terra and Terra-Xehanort, Riku and Dark Riku and "Ansem", Data-Sora and Sora's Heartless and Roxas, Sora and Roxas and Vanitas, Ventus and Vanitas, Aqua and Anti-Aqua, Ansem-Riku and Xemnas (indirectly)....
There's a lot, though to be fair the big bad of the games so far is an old guy who simultaneously body-jacked a dozen people/summoned versions of himself from across time. Shenanigans occurred.
@@gothicbutterfly013 I was about to say. That franchise could populate this list alone.
Kinda surprised you didn't include the SA-X. I always found that much more intimidating than Dark Samus.
Had a "Could it be!?!" moment after seeing a snippet of giant Klunk in the intro.
Wasn't disappointed. Rachet & Clank finally made a list and my nostalgia is all tingly.
"Or 'cloneliness' if you will"
I most certainly will not.
the seritonin i got just seeing ellen in person introducing a vid was great
I remember the first time I beat Dark Link in "Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" The water temple was my favorite so I'd go back multiple times just to play it over again and also to fight dark link again after two times he got pretty easy to beat. It was very enjoyable 😌
Just watching this makes me want to go start a new game. 😂
Kingdom Hearts has multiple fight your evil self/clone/heartless/other.
They did cover the Roxas fight and I think there was one in KH I, but it isn't noteworthy
@@JachAnen Sora vs Anti Sora wasn't much, but Riku vs Riku Replica and Aqua vs Phantom Aqua are both very noteworthy
Another chance for Ellen to sing the praises of "Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning"?! Yes, please! Why is it that nothing Luke picks out to play _is ever as cool as that?_ =)
And the rerelease is coming out in about a week or two
@@tankedwarthog6424 I can't wait for Re-Reckoning~
@@tankedwarthog6424 will it be pn gamepass?
@@Splatcake i am not sire I haven't heard anything about it coming to game pass and I doubt it will because of ea
@@tankedwarthog6424 Re-Reckoning is published by THQNordic. So it will in a year.
Is esseJ being "wilder" than Jesse a nod to Quantum Break? I'm pretty sure it's a nod to Quantum Break.
Also, in the Xbox bonus content for Tomb Raider: Underworld, Lara actually frees her doppelgänger from Natla's control and grants her free will, meaning that there are possibly two kickass adventurers raiding tombs in that particular Tomb Raider universe.
Speaking of saving your doppelgänger, it's too bad Shepard doesn't get to save their clone. Imagine Reapers being all: "There's two of them now? You know what? Screw this cycle, we'll come back in another 50k years."
Imagine the two Shepards are siblings not opposing characters of different sex.
I feel like Fallen order should get an honourable mention. You never fight evil inquisitor Cal in the story, despite being warned of that future in visions, however with the custom battles you can fight him, and be slaughtered because he is the player's skill set combined with AI near perfect timing
I really loved the fight against Essij, it was one of the best fights in Control. Also, you guys didn't mention if you do manage to defeat her, you get her rockin' jacket for yourself!
“And if it’s bloodborne, full of extra eyes and teeth.” This, ladies and gentlemen, is why I don’t play bloodborne.
I still haven't beaten it because of all the gosh darned tentacles in this game that monsters jam down your throat or up your nose or who knows where else
@@seand7042 I..... are we playing the same game mate? I'm quite sure only one monster does that.... the others are more interested in tearing you apart
@Usuxk Meoff Still waiting for the PC port.
Usuxk Meoff Easy. I close my eyes.
that is like the pitch for every resident evil game ever made.
producer: so what is your idea for RE10?
programmer: extra eyes and teeth
producer: i'm in
15:09 "Up Your Arsenal" sounds much, much dirtier when it's said in an English accent.
Lol definitely got to love the puns that are littered throughout these games.
A) love the new hair Ellen, as well as the color coordination with your outfit, B) the Shepard v Shepard fight from mass effect 3 was one of my favorite fights in the game. I was a vanguard and having him counter my biotic charge with one of his own made it such an intense fight.
When at the end ellen called me cool i nearly cried 😭😭😭😭 thanks ellen
You got me 😂
3:23 man the set up for Essej creeped me out. The backwards tape recording was an especially nice touch.
What about an evil doppelgänger of someone who’s already a villain? That’s Dark Bowser from Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story.
BUT if we see an.. EVIL doppelganger of an "evil" character.. WAS the villain EVER much of a villain.. an maybe not a secret agent for the good guys or something??
@@robertagu5533 I don't think bowser is a secret good guy. The reason the dark star copied bowser was mainly do to convenience and the fact that bowser is incredibly powerful.
@@robertagu5533 well, you can always be more evil.
An even Eviler Doppelganger perhaps. Sometimes I also wonder if Bowser could be given a good doppelganger named Wowser.
@@ethankennan212 It would be Waowoser, and he might be a good guy possibly? The science of wa is still not fully understood.
even in Godhand there's an evil counterpart "Devil hand". He's cool,have same powers and is badass.
Doopliss in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. He steals Mario's identity and party and then you have to team up with one of the villains to kick the crap out of him and your friends.
I appreciated the way it was done in Dragon Age: Origins. It certainly gave me a bit of a wake up call. By that point I thought I had the game on lockdown, chunking down everything with pinpoint tactics, then I go up against my party's spirit doppelgangers and three seconds in my mages get oneshot by the spell I used to cheese mage fights.
Also, your copies are conjured up by the in-universe equivalent of Saint Peter, only if Saint Peter was at one point turned into an immortal paladin by a miracle and sent to guard Jesus' earthly remains for all eternity.
This. Absolutely this. The Urn of Sacred Ashes quest was a trial and a half because I like teams of heavy hitters and let me tell you, taking Sten, Alistair Morrigan into that fight is a bad idea.
Really? I defeated my spirit DP AND my companions' DP extremely fast (and without real help from my actual companions) and was wondering why everyone seemed to say online that the battle is supposed to be difficult...
Great to see Kingdoms of Ellenmur back again, what a treat!
5:35 I died when they showed those pictures 😂😂
this is an incredible home-recreation of that studio set up you normally have, ellen.
The moment I got my hands on the asynchronicity suit in Control, I knew - this will be the outfit for the new Director.
Prince of Persia: The two thrones - you have to fight your sand clone with the whip in his arm - the version of you, that was better at fighting and platforming, because of said whip.
Still waiting for that A.W.E. expansion.
It might just be me, but I found the esseJ fight very tough. My 'strategy' ended up revolving around hiding in the upstairs room full of monitors, and peeking out to bombard her with explosives.
Not exactly Jesse's most heroic victory, but I'll take it. Especially for that superb alternate costume.
@@Amaritudine Same here - a tough fight, but I was zipping around, flinging stuff at her and using the default gun (had some heavy headshot mod).
@@ivanpetrov5255 Grip is one of the most powerful forms though, and it's got a mod which allows you to fire infinitely as long as you hit
@@ledendron5590 That was a good mod. Pierce was my second choice for special occasions (bosses and floaty boys)
Infamous:
The final mission is a battle against Kessler the main baddy for the whole game. During this battle you find out that he is you from the future and came back to make Cole stronger but he did kill your girlfriend which means he killed his girlfriend which is pretty messed up.
It was a worthy sacrifice if it means the defeat of The Beast
Clayton Mason true but Trish
Totally came here for this.
Jon Boy that moment made me genuinely cry
Oh man, and his bossfight was the absolute best as well. I should really replay it...
Not sure about this one: in "Silent Hill 3" the fight in the merry-go-round, I think the contender was an evil version of me.
Luke and Ellen had a discussion in which 'don't beat yourself up' was giggled over as an imagined literal scenario. Later, this video was born as a way to shoehorn in that (admittedly magnificent) pun.
This was just an excuse for Ellen to talk about Kingdoms of Amalur again wasnt it...
First Kingdom Hearts had you pitted against a tricksy Shadow Sora in a claustrophobic room of a ship.
Mario Land 2 where Mario fights the more evil and cruel version of himself, Wario, in a terrible fight to the death... before inviting him periodically to tennis or karts.
Wario isn't Mario's evil self. Dude's just a prick in general.
I'm surprised you didn't include Kessler from Infamous. Definitely cooler than your bike messenger character, stronger for most of the game, and has time travel abilities, and so very satisfying when you finally fry the bastard with lightning and then realize that he was an alternate version of you trying to get you ready to fight a worse villain.
What about your "clone" in Saints Row 4? Well, technically it's just a generic character with an added goatee, but Asha thinks it is a cooler version of you.
The goatee and eyepatch make them cooler no matter what
You end up fighting two versions of yourself. First is your clone from Saint's Row 1. Second is Saint's Row 2 and, for whatever reason, comes with its own clone Kinzie describes with: "Oh no! It's the player 2 character!"
Ahh. The Boss’s evil twin: Big Boss.
@@azuredragoon2054 I forgot about those. I was thinking of Ashas mission. I think you end up fighting a default version of yourself from each game, with Asha's being the final "boss".
Luke “i’m also weak to getting smashed flat with a hammer!”
Me “i saw the bloodborne playthrough my dude... placenta yes. Hammers. Not so much” lol
“what if they kissed right now?”
That reminds me of a log in Doom 3 that mentions clone porn lol
Ze Spy Crab Sure is lol
I think the real question about clone Shepard is “Was it really necessary to rip off the scene from The Mummy Returns?” You know the one. Rick and Imhotep dangling from a ledge. Rick’s loved ones come to pull him up while Ankh-su-namun walks away. Depressed at being unloved, Imhotep lets go and falls to his death. Did they think no one would notice?
Bioware has a thing with the Mummy it seems. Look at Inquisition, Solas is basically looks like Imhotep. I had to look up if he was played by Arnold Vasloo just in case.
@@razgriz821 - Aside from him being bald, I can’t say I see the resemblance. I definitely knew it wasn’t Arnold Vosloo doing the voice. I’ve seen The Mummy and the Darkman movies too many times.
How does them knowing all your moves help them, though? They’re still you, you know all their moves, too
If they know all of my moves then they're fucked because my moves suck ass
insert OVA sonic speech here.
So Luke and Ashe from Tales of the Abyss.
I'm gonna preemptively type Oblivion the Shivering Isles... that one was pretty cool
Was going to mention this myself. That may be the most interesting fight in TES as a whole
@@timothyoswald8618 I haven't been to play two of the first 5 but out of the 3 I have I completely agree
@@timothyoswald8618 can't agree, killing Dagoth Ur in Morrowind and the implication of destroying The Heart of Lorkhan, which was what gave Vivec and the rest of the Tribunal their power, if far, far, more interesting then just completing a ritual that lets you become Sheogorath. I mean one lets you become a daedric prince, which could be argued are god-like, while the other lets you kill what are effectively three, you would believe four until you find you that one kill themselves already, other literal god tier beings, I mean you don't actually kill Dagoth Ur in the fight you only kill him by destroying The Heart of Lorkhan.
Hell, you are literally turned back into Sheogorath by the time Skyrim happens, so you could really argue that he simply transferred his power yo long enough to actually free Jyggalag and then he just took over your body by invading your mind.
As much as Skyrim is way more well known these days, we can all agree that Morrowind and Oblivion are still worth it these days.
As someone who's never played a Rachet and Clank game before, I was genuinely caught off guard by that funeral joke
Commenter Edition: The Shivering Isles, where The Champion fights a shadow clone and cheese for no one is just as good, if you don't like cheese.
And then forgetting to remove your chameleon enchanted items so lucky you, now you have to fight an invisible clone!
Throw cheese at the moron!
Every single boss in persona 4 is "I'm just you, but cooler"
And then they become your Persona, which still makes them cooler you
Expect kanji
@@Rockstingray790 ESPECIALLY Kanji
"two Yosukes?"
“nah, more like one Yosuke and one AWESOME Yosuke"
@@ColossalRay ah a fellow comic dub fan I see
esseJ was such a fun find when you’re exploring Control. Had no idea she was “much wilder than you” though.
The best part of Dark Samus is just that one log where the space pirates go "oh no theres two of them now"
Gonna have to mention Evoland, where in the Legend of Zelda-themed part of the game, you rescue a princess from a dark version of yourself. :P
What about 7 towns that are in every game?
You know, like the snowy town or the village in the middle of a giant tree?
The desert town, treetoptown, Rocky village, ghosts town...
The lava kingdom,underwater lost city and dark castle of the main villain
Been done on Outside Xbox, albeit as a 'level in every game' video.
At thr others -- also ice/snow level.
Desert towns a traditional add-on in every town-specific game.
I'm sorry. Clone Shepard was an irredeemable prat. Even though I tried to save her at the end of the battle, it was in the full knowledge that she was irredeemably a prat.
(Also, Samus and the SA-X for the follow-up list. That alien parasite was terrifying!)
Like you would handle waking up with no memories , the knowledge your existence is as nothing more than a back up plan at best and spare parts at most, and only having six months to come to terms with all of that.
@@clothar23 Those are extremely good points and I did have to stop and take a long look at myself after reading them. However, I'd like to imagine that at the very least I'd think something along the lines of, 'Six months of life is all I'm gonna get if someone doesn't sort out these reapers; probably not the best moment to try and murder the one person who seems capable of doing so.' And possibly, 'Do I really want to kill and replace the person who holds the record for Hardest Job In The Galaxy?'
Actually it's a real shame that the designers didn't make more of an effort to show the side of things you're talking about in the character's personality. Some actual feeling might have helped to alleviate the bizarrely out of place Americentric slapstick sitcom in the middle of the game about 10 million humans dying every day.
@@samthompson1804 I can agree with that. The whole clone thing was a great concept that could have been better executed.
I now have a mental image of Luke Westaway facing down his eye macara-clad evil double Ekul Yawatsew.
I was always a fan of the Wellspring of Truth map from Fire Emblem Awakening. Using my high level, max stats team to breeze through most enemies and then getting kicked right in the teeth when my trusted companions' doppelgangers emerge like a bunch of immortal juggernauts.
Ellen, we really didn't need to see a chair enough for you to go break the heart of our beloved throne, by using another.
Anyone know if any games with good and evil moral alignments ever had a boss where you fight the opposite version of your character, so an evil character would fight their good version?
Not only would that be kinda neat as a concept but would finally allow us to be the clearly cooler evil version, and being the evil version of yourself just isn’t worth it unless you can rub it in the face of the good version
Did they ever make a game of the Shattered Glass Transformers stuff?
Well, you'll fight Sonic (alongside a G.U.N. mech) as a final boss for an evil ending in Shadow the Hedgehog, although there's no evil counterpart to a heroic Shadow.
You don't fight them, but in one of The Old Republic stories - the Sith Warrior one - an opposite alignment vision turns up to tell you how much you suck.
Fable 3's DLC. Final boss literally becomes you but is bad if you're good and vice versa
InFAMOUS
I'm so glad to see you folks back in the studio!
Also, am I the only one who didn't notice the lack of reflection on link after he passes the island in the water temple until about maybe 2 years ago? When I think it was mentioned in another Oxtra video?
In Devil May Cry 3 you fought a shadow version of your Devil Trigger called the Doppleganger and after the fight you gained the ability to summon a Doppleganger which mirrored your actions, a rather neat easter egg also let a second controller control them while they're out.
The fact that Kingdoms of Amalur is getting a re-relase and Ellen has yet to make a video about it is astounding! You know what you must do Ellen!
No mention of SA-X? And I also have to agree with Sean D about the Shivering Isles.
I was hoping for SA-X. It’s better too, because Samus has an inherit weakness to your old weaponry, making those stealth segments much scarier.
"I'm sure all of you watching this are incredibly cool"
Maybe I am the evil version of myself...
Now that deep ok I think is time to kill weak me
I think that the Rival in 'Spartan: Total Warrior' Achilles' tomb was pretty cool
Objection:
The fight between me and clone Shepherd was canonically, Evil vs More Evil, with me being the More Evil one. And therefore I was the cooler one, as evidenced by my dance moves through all three games.
If you make a second one Samus could be there for you again, this time with the parasite evil clone SA-X
The Citadel DLC is the best thing related to video games ever done.
I just love the exchange that happens if you play as FemShep and romance Traynor, when going after the clone back to the Normandy.
"You! You have guts to look me in the eye after firing me! I thought we...
[Renegade interrupt, in which Shep kisses the heck out of Traynor]
"Wasn't me. Evil clone"
Absolute gold.
That line at the end was priceless. Well done.
Not strictly fighting "yourself" but Skyrim has you fighting the first Dragonborn. Miraak, in the DLC, and also a very high level hero in the Ebony Warrior...
I've done that fight exactly once and the only way I could win it was to hide, summon an elemental to deal with the minions, and shoot a bunch of arrows at Miraak despite being a mage so I'd have enough mana to re-summon the elementals constantly
Maybe I shouldn't have leveled up every crafting level until I was in an unfair bracket lol
Or how about infamous, where Cole literally fights evil Cole (relatively speaking)
I went into detail on it, so now there is no mistake on what we're both talking about.
I might have something to contribute here: in the N64 game with which I certainly spent more time than did I with any other, 'Body Harvest'; unbeknownst to the player, the opening cinematic was in fact an augury to the coming story. Specifically, our hero is cloned, and this new evil plays counter to the player throughout the campaign. Culmination by game's end sees your clone finally reveal his true nature, before transforming into a great and beastly nemesis. Also, his black suit and bright red visor owned that of the player character. A cheat code permitted the player to have it too.
That whole fateless one thing in Amalur kind of creeps me out and depresses me. It means you're literally the only person in the world with free will and everyone else is inescapably a slave to forces beyond their control.
Who'd have thought, the Normandy also gets stuck in traffic.
This also happens in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, where Miriam has to fight Doppleganger, a version of herself with all her shards and powers and better capable of handling them. That said, she isn't a terribly difficult fight and I beat it the first time. But I also had tons of healing items on hand.
The Shepard clone part where they were both dangling odd the Normandy was cut from the Mummy Returns lol 😂.
My first thought was - Imohtep going; “Anaksenamun, Semooii! Semooii! (Save Me! Save Me!”) and she ditches him only to die in a pit of scarabs. Lol
The Essej fight was one hundred percent optional. I did it anyway, and I rocked that thing with no cheats or buffs, and it was WORTH IT. Because, you know, you get the cooler evil jacket.
almost every single boss fight in persona 4.
especially in persona 4 arena ultimax.
After watching the control section did anyone else get flashbacks to that SOTWE challenge where Luke played classic game dialogue backwards?
Some say Ellen is still annoyed about not getting the Skyrim "Fus Ro Dah"😋
the most memorable line is in Tomb Raider
Lara: who are u?
?: I'm you with flaw removed
Lara: freewill is a flaw?
?: what do u think?
Dark Link was always my favorite fight in Ocarina of Time I would draw it out as long as I could and the only thing that made the water temple worth it
Every Marvel Villian be like: "It's not link. He's bad guy!"
"It's Iron man but he's... he's bad iron man..iron ma-- Iron MONGER."

TJ Knight same lol. Also shitty dark souls videos
So many dark characters could fill this list:
Dark Aqua (Kingdom hearts 0.2 birth by sleep a fragmentary passage)
Dark Bowser (Mario & Luigi Bowser Inside Story)
Dark Link (Already here)
Dark Samus (Already here)
Dark Riku (Kingdom hearts Chain of Memories- Riku story)
Etc.
IMO, SA-X from Fusion was a better doppelganger. There was also the Shadow Sora from Neverland in KH1, but Dark Riku was the best for me.
Technically you could also include Vanitas vs Ventus at the end of KH Birth by Sleep. It's true that maybe it's more of an evil twin than an evil self but it would've been awesome to see him in the list.
You forgot "The legend of Spyro"'s iconic alter ego Dark Spyro!
What? No mention of fighting your Doppelganger in "Afro Samurai"? That duel was epic. And Samuel L. Jackson as your story guide was equally epic...and hilarious.
