Dueling Player Characters	comment	Most single-player video games have a single Player Character whom the player steers throughout the adventure. Some feature more of them, with the player controlling each one of them in turns. And then there are some that pit one player character against another, controlled by the player and the AI, respectively. If the two playable characters are rivals or Arch-Enemies to one another, this is all but guaranteed to happen at some point. If the battle is fought to the death, it can become a powerful Player Punch, especially if the player is forced to decide which character lives and who dies. Even if it's not to the death, the outcome of who wins may cause the story to branch off in different paths. May overlap with Previous Player-Character Cameo and Rogue Protagonist if it takes place in a sequel. May or may not be a Duel Boss encounter. If the two characters play similarly enough to one another, the battle may serve as a Mirror Boss. If a character appears as a boss fight first and is later unlockable as a playable character, they have been Promoted to Playable. Compare Main Character Final Boss, where the main protagonist of the game enters a Faceâ€“Heel Turn near the end of the game and becomes the Final Boss. Not to be confused with Player Versus Player, which is specific to multiplayer games. See also Fighting Your Friend.

Dueling Player Characters / int_11292d9c	comment	Not a physical conflict, but in Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, when April and Kian meet for the first time, they engage in a heated argument over the Azadi politics in the Northlands. Notably, you can select both characters' responses, so it is possible to either convince April to reconsider her views on Azadi, or force Kian to take a good look at his superiors. Too bad it doesn't really lead to any Story Branching.

Dueling Player Characters / int_142657fa	comment	Thunder Force: Thunder Force V has you fighting the Vasteel Original, which is Earth's codename for the Rynex from Thunder Force IV. Rynex had been recovered by Earth sometime after the ending of Thunder Force IV, wherein the ship completed its mission but was damaged and left to float through space for some time before being picked up; the people of Earth realized how advanced it was and reverse-engineered technology out of it, only for the Rynex and the Guardian, one of the byproducts of the discovery, to go rogue due to a virus. As for the fight itself, Rynex not only uses its own attacks, but also attaches a series of weapons to itself to bolster its firepower. Thunder Force VI has you fight Vasteel Nocht, which assembles giant versions of the Styx, Rynex, and Gauntlet, the player ships of Thunder Force III, IV, and V, respectively. Notably, VI has the Rynex-R as an unlockable ship, making it the closest in the series you can get to a Mirror Match.

Laharl, for example, is the title character of Disgaea 1. He also makes appearances in numerous games such as Makai Kingdom as a boss, and appears in every Disgaea game (except 7) as a hidden boss (in 7, he is only DLC) excluding the two where he is the main protagonist. Many other characters do this too; such as Adell and Rozalin, the protagonists of Disgaea 2, both appearing as an optional boss in Disgaea 1's remakes.

Dueling Player Characters / int_2664f44a	comment	Like a Dragon: The games with multiple protagonists, there are occasionally boss battles where two of the protagonists face off against one another (typically Kiryu and another character). In Yakuza 5, you're given the option of choosing which character you wish to control for that battle. Yakuza 4: Kiryu fights against two of the newly introduced protagonists of this game â€” Akiyama and Tanimura. Despite being outnumbered, it's ultimately the latter two that are winded compared to Kiryu, who didn't even break a sweat. Kiryu himself can be fought against as Saejima in an earlier chapter. Pray to SEGA that he doesn't use his signature Tiger Drop against youâ€¦ Averted in Yakuza 0, however, as Kiryu and Majima never even meet throughout the entirety of the game... until The Stinger, that is. Yakuza Kiwami 2 once again has Majima as a playable character in his own side story and once again, he's fought against in the main story proper. Yakuza: Like a Dragon: The above-mentioned Majima and Saejima are both fought at the same time! And if that wasn't enough... Kiryu is once again a boss character! Again, pray to SEGA that he doesn't instantly kill you with his Tiger Drop. Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name' has Kiryu face off against Kaito from the Judgement games in a sidequest. The "Legendary Fighters" DLC pack adds Daigo Dojima, Saejima, and Majima as bonus bosses you can face in the game's coliseum. In addition, all of these characters become playable in the coliseum.

Both parties keep barely missing each other until Jupiter Lighthouse, at which point Isaac's party is split apart and defeated by the tower's bosses (particularly grating if you'd done a lot of Level Grinding), then Felix's party defeats them. The climactic battle between Isaac and Felixâ€¦ doesn't take place, as Isaac now understands why Felix was running around trying to light the elemental beacons (both because the Big Bad was holding his sister hostage, and because if the beacons remain unlit, the world will eventually crumble away, whereas if they're lit, humanity might abuse the power of the elements to fight destructive wars and destroy the world).

In book one, the player characters are turned into vampires during a pivotal moment in vampiric history in 1444, then deal with consequences of that event in books two (1666) and three (1848/1882). In the fourth book, the players create entirely new characters, who get involved in a war against factions led by their previous characters, set in 1929. The players don't necessarily have to directly combat their previous charactersâ€”sending neonates up against 600-year-old elders would result in an extremely short fightâ€”but they are intended to act as foils.

Sonic also fights the rogue Eggman robot E-102 Gamma on the deck of the Egg Carrier. This time, however, playing as Knuckles and Gamma allows the player to fight Sonic as the boss, and playing as Tails puts him in the fights instead of Sonic.

Dueling Player Characters / int_8ec33a88	comment	In Xenoblade Chronicles 3, the first of three boss fights late in Chapter 1 is a battle between the player-controlled Kevesi party members and the soon-to-be Agnian party members. They even have the same Damager, Healer, Tank lineup, though with different variations on the roles. In the DLC, Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed: Late in the game, to prove theyâ€™re strong enough to face the impending final battle, Nikol and Glimmer must defeat Shulk and Rex, the previous two gameâ€™s main characters and, unknown to the two, their respective fathers. The pair were also added as a Superboss for the challenge mode in the main campaign thereafter.

In the PS2 and Xbox versions, by default, you play as Obi-Wan, but after beating the game, you can choose to play as Anakin, which gets you an alternate ending where Anakin kills both Obi-Wan and Palpatine to rule the galaxy himself. In the GBA and DS versions, both men have separate story routes that converge on Mustafar, and no matter who you're controlling the story proceeds as if Obi-Wan won the fight.

Dueling Player Characters / int_935a39be	comment	In the "Subspace Emissary" mode of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, this happens numerous times: "Midair Stadium", and by extension the entire game, begins with a competitive bout between Mario and Kirby. This fight is a reference to the ending of Smash Bros. 64's into video and the player can choose to play as either character. In either case, the fight ends with the victor and the defeated shaking hands. After a battle against a shadow bug doppelganger of Princess Peach or Princess Zelda in "The Lake Shore", Mario and Pit face off against Link and Yoshi, after one of the teams mistakes the other for having just killed the princess. Which team is in control of the player depends on which princess was saved earlier. At the end of "The Path to the Ruins", Lucas and PokÃ©mon Trainer a.k.a. Red (who at this point only has Squirtle) fight Wario in vengeance of Ness. The player only has control over the former two. At the end of "The Ruins", Lucas and PokÃ©mon Trainer (who now has Ivysaur in addition to Squirtle) battle Charizard, whom PokÃ©mon Trainer captures afterward with his PokÃ© Ball. Again, the player has control over Lucas and PokÃ©mon Trainer. At the end of "The Glacial Peak", Lucario and Meta Knight fight, which is between this and Defeat Means Playable (since it's Lucario's first appearance in the story). Just like with Mario and Kirby at the beginning of the game, the player can choose either character before the fight. Finally, at the end of the first iteration of "Subspace", the player takes control of King Dedede as he is forced to fight Bowser, who at this point is unaware that Tabuu is behind the entire plot.

Dueling Player Characters / int_b4967d43	comment	This is actually pretty common in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, usually when two characters' current goals clash with one another. Sonic vs Knuckles at the end of Hidden Palace Zone in Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Knuckles misinterpreted the mural found in the fight's background, and believes Dr. Robotnik is the good guy trying to protect the Master Emerald from the "evil" Sonic. The inverse of this fight doesn't happen, however, as Knuckles' story takes place some time after Sonic's. Sonic Adventure: Sonic fights Knuckles again, after Knuckles (who still doesn't trust Sonic at this point) sees him with the green Chaos Emerald and mistakes it for a shard of the broken Master Emerald. Sonic also fights the rogue Eggman robot E-102 Gamma on the deck of the Egg Carrier. This time, however, playing as Knuckles and Gamma allows the player to fight Sonic as the boss, and playing as Tails puts him in the fights instead of Sonic. Sonic Adventure 2 has the story split into two sides: a 'Hero' side with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, and a 'Dark' side with Shadow, Eggman, and Rouge. Each character is matched to another, and fights their counterpart several times over the course of the game. Again, the fights are playable from both perspectives. Sonic Heroes has the characters split into 4 teams of 3, with two of the other teams serving as Boss Battles during the game â€” Team Sonic and Team Chaotix fight Team Rose and Team Dark, whilst Team Dark and Team Rose fight Team Sonic and Team Chaotix. The Sonic Rivals spin-off series has this as its main gimmick — you're always racing against another player character for one reason or another, with several 1v1 duels mixed in. Even when you're in a boss battle, you still need to beat the boss before the other character/person does! Sonic Rush has Sonic vs Blaze at the end of Dead Line Zone, with Blaze declaring she'll fight both Eggmen alone while Sonic tries to tell her it doesn't work that way around here. Blaze, whose loner attitude has been challenged throughout the game, finally snaps and decides to clash with Sonic to force him to stay out of her way. Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) has Sonic and Shadow fight Silver at least once. Again, you can play either side of the same fight, according to which character's story mode you're playing. Sonic Battle, a Sonic fighting game, takes all this to its logical conclusion.

Crippling Overspecialization indeed. It is more of a Mercy Kill rather than a proper duel.

At the start, the player is asked to lead one of the houses in the Officerâ€™s Academy, each of which has its own set of eight characters. There are two mock battles involving the other houses, where the characters for those houses appear as enemies. There is a Time Skip later on, where the factions the houses represent end up at war with each other. The player partakes in the war with their house's faction, and any characters from the other houses who weren't recruited end up as enemies, likely getting Killed Off for Real by the player's army.

Phoenix needs to spend time recuperating in the hospital while learning more about the long history attached to the case and the game's main prosecutor, Godot, is also temporarily unavailable. For one day of court, and to the screams of any pretense of courtroom professionalism, Miles Edgeworth fills in for Wright as the Defense while Franziska von Karma returns as the Prosecution. In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney â€“ Spirit of Justice, the first trial of Case 5 features the player-controlled Apollo facing off against main protagonist Phoenix in civil court. Phoenix is being blackmailed by his guilty-as-shit client, who is holding Maya hostage to ensure that Phoenix delivers him the MacGuffin and prevents him from being arrested for a murder he committed.

Downplayed, as the "battle" is a cutscene of you getting out of a car and shooting him in the gut. Played straight in Mafia III, where if Vito decides he's getting shafted by new protagonist Lincoln the two battle in an assassination mission. Alternatively, if Lincoln decides to rule New Bordeaux alone Vito gets killed off-screen.

In Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, you play as three characters: Terra, Ventus, and Aqua. Aqua's story contains boss battles against possessed versions of both of her friends, and Terra's story ends with taking control of Terra's Lingering Will, fighting his own possessed body in an (unsuccessful) attempt to get it back from Xehanort. This also retroactively makes the secret boss of KH 2 Final Mix, Lingering Will, this. Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] features Sora and Riku as playable characters.
