7 Boss Fights Against Your Evil, Cooler Self

"While you're left asking the big questions like ... what if they kissed right now?" Stay thirsty, Ellen. Stay thirsty.

[@jdonvance]

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!"

[@timrivett7642]

To be fair, there's so many potential shagging options in every Bioware game that Shepherd kissing his/her clone would not be unexpected.

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

It was very enjoyable 😌 Just watching this makes me want to go start a new game. 😂

[@hawkins347]

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."

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.

And Dark Samus may be the more well-known evil twin of intergalactic bounty hunter Samus Aran, what with her appearing in two games and also Smash Brothers, but she's not the _only_ evil twin of intergalactic bounty hunter Samus Aran. Before the Metroid Prime trilogy kicked off, Metroid Fusion was released, introducing the world to the SA-X. The SA-X is notable for many things, including, but not limited to: being utterly impervious to Samus's weaponry for most of the game, sending players fleeing in panicked terror, destroying sections of the space station you're stuck on, and actually being about a dozen separate evil twins, all roaming around, trying to find and kill you.

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

[@MrBrianHibbs]

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.

[@jennifervalentine8955]

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.

[@Relicanth]

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.

[@matheusmoreno1057]

If you make a second one Samus could be there for you again, this time with the parasite evil clone SA-X

[@TheyCallMeNewb]

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.

[@freaknr1]

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!

[@Brasc]

I now have a mental image of Luke Westaway facing down his eye macara-clad evil double Ekul Yawatsew.

[@coyoteartist]

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.

[@MerkJohn]

I am slightly annoyed that Dragons's Dogma is not on this list.... That boss fight against yourself at the end of the game is iconic.

[@aidanmcmurtrie1424]

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.

You forgot "The legend of Spyro"'s iconic alter ego Dark Spyro!

[@silversalamence10]

The Kingdom Hearts series has a number of bosses that would fit this category such as Terra-Xehanort from Birth by Sleep, his design is more edgy and cooler than the Terra you play as.

[@RangerBeef]

I'm surprised at the lack of a "Quit hitting yourself" joke. (Though the don't beat yourself up is a close second)

Hell yeah, an new outside extra video!

[@Tovish1988]

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.

[@Sazza6]

And then forgetting to remove your chameleon enchanted items so lucky you, now you have to fight an invisible clone!

[@LadyOnikara]

Throw cheese at the moron!

[@MaquinaRara1]

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.

[@Jinka7]

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.

[@claudiogonzalezlobo4407]

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.

[@rickimaru915]

“what if they kissed right now?” That reminds me of a log in Doom 3 that mentions clone porn lol

[@rickimaru915]

[@Amino2121333]

Thought Doopliss from Paper Mario: The thousand year door would definitely make this list.

[@dosbilliam]

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

[@samthompson1804]

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!)

[@clothar23]

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.

[@samthompson1804]

@@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.

[@clothar23]

@@samthompson1804 I can agree with that. The whole clone thing was a great concept that could have been better executed.

[@civilthespacepirate]

Not gonna lie, Ellen's Laura cosplay is pretty good.

[@bett431]

Oh the first game I think about is Custom Robo Arena. Also Dob vs Evil Dob.

[@Artificer1911]

My favorite clone story arc was in City of Heroes. Both the heroes and villains side of the game got a clone arc around level 20, but the villain one was much more enjoyable to me (not that the heroes one wasn't). I wouldn't put it on this list, though, because the point is that you are the biggest and the baddest, and take over the clone lab to perfect the process and make an army of clones of yourself. During the trial and error stage, however, after dealing with a few defective clones, you get to have a massive clone battle, fighting up to 8 copies of yourself. So much fun!
