Mirror Match | comment |
"Nice to meet you, another myself." A term that originates from fighting games, a Mirror Match occurs when one character fights against themselves, usually as a result of two players choosing the same character (where, normally, each character on the roster is implicitly a unique individual). This can be a rather tricky experience as the two characters are, by definition, evenly matched, and victory will rest on which player is better at using the character's skills. Typically the two players will be distinguished by color with the second player as a Palette Swap of the character's original design or having a variant skin. Sometimes the "mirror" character in question isn't literally a clone or the same person, but through a Contrived Coincidence have identical powers of equal strength and technique. Expect quite a lot of Fearful Symmetry. When these occur in the game's story mode, they're usually Hand Waved as a mysterious impostor and tend to have no impact on the story despite the interesting possibilities they present. Most characters fighting their mirror selves never seem to notice, nor is it explained how such a thing is possible, though it may be lampshaded if the game features pre- or post-match banter. The Trope Namer is Mortal Kombat (1992); the last enemy you fought before the Endurance matches was yourself. Character Tiers can force almost every single match to be a Mirror Match because everyone spams the top tier character(s). This trope is not limited to fighting games, any game with a competitive multiplayer and the ability for two or more players to choose the same character can have mirror matches. It can also happen in other media, though there it is more likely to have an explanation. Collectible Card Games use the term as well, but with a different meaning. In a CCG, a "mirror match" is when two players with the same deck theme play against each other. While the decks likely differ in spots, the central strategy is the same. Functionally identical is when a Ditto Fighter (most likely of the Mokujinner variety) imitates their opponent. Compare Fearful Symmetry, Evil Knockoff, Mirror Boss and Civil Warcraft. Not to be confused with Spot the Impostor or Mirror Character. |

Bleach: Subverted with Ichigo's inner Hollow, who looks like a photo-negative version of Ichigo and wields the same weapon, yet he uses moves Ichigo never even thought of, such as spinning Zangetsu by its wrapping/chain. Ishida, Renji, Pesche and Dondochakka end up fighting clones of themselves while they face off against Szayelaporro. Played straight in the Anime filler interquel Gotei 13 Invading Army arc, in which Kageroza Inaba creates Mod Souls that are enhanced clones of certain Soul Reapers. During the Thousand Year Blood War arc, Kenpachi Zaraki fights Loyd Lloyd, who transforms into a copy of Kenpachi. Kenpachi kills Loyd off-panel, and claims that he won by becoming stronger than himself. |

The final episode of Black★Rock Shooter has a battle between Mato in Black★Rock Shooter's form versus Insane Black★Rock Shooter. Mato started out with a severe disadvantage because her Healing Factor was slower, she lacked Insane Black Rock Shooter's immunity to pain, and she couldn't bear to hurt anyone. However, when Mato is finally motivated to fight back, she proves to be just as powerful as her counterpart and eventually defeats her with a Combined Energy Attack. | |

In "The Computer Wore Menace Shoes", Homer is imprisoned on an island for knowing too much. When he escapes, he vows to expose everything, but Number 2 won't allow it. Homer comments "the only one that can silence me is me", leading to an actor impersonating him to say "that arranged can be!". They fight, and Homer wins by fighting dirty. "If I know me, he won't like being kicked in the crotch!" |

As Supergirl battles her Evil Counterpart Galetaea, the Clothing Damage of their costumes starts to make them mirror the other's... In "Divided We Fall", Luthor-Brainiac recreates the Justice Lords (and a very Reverse-Flash-looking evil Flash, since he doesn't have a Justice Lord counterpart) for the original founders of the Justice League to fight. They stop them by going up against different copies, instead of their counterparts — except the Flash, who beats his evil counterpart on his lonesome. |

Unfortunately for Nove, Subaru revealed during her Unstoppable Rage that she has the ability to kill cyborgs like her in one hit, so it didn't turn out to be the even match she had hoped. Played straighter with Subaru and her brainwashed sister Ginga, since Subaru had to restrain that ability of hers for obvious reasons. And they're both clones of their mother Quint. Nanoha, Fate, and Hayate all face off against their Material counterparts during protection of Allston Sea in Reflection. |

In Superman III, Superman is exposed to some flawed synthetic kryptonite and turns "evil" (read: superpowered Jerkass). His inner conflict is played out onscreen when Clark Kent manifests in front of him and they fight until Clark wins, then tears open his shirt revealing the untarnished S-shield and flying off to undo the damage he did when he was "evil", ending the only enjoyable scene in an almost universally reviled movie. | |

Naruto: In Naruto Shippuuden, a mirror match occurs simultaneously Gai's team, each having a copy of themselves. They eventually beat their copies by realizing that they can become better than their copies, because the copies don't improve but they do, because they've sworn to improve every day. During his training with Killer Bee to control the Kyuubi, Naruto has a Battle in the Center of the Mind against a mirror copy of himself which embodied his repressed anger and hatred accumulated during his sad childhood. Since the copy, Dark Naruto, matched him evenly in terms of fighting skills, Naruto beats him by accepting his inner darkness, thus embracing him both literally and figuratively. |

8-Bit Theater: Black Mage encounters a copy of himself, representing his inner darkness and such, in the Castle of Ordeals. This was because the only thing evil enough to match Black Mage is Black Mage. Parodied, somewhat, when Fighter splits up the Light Warriors, Dark Warriors, and Other Warriors into new teams. Fighter places himself on every team (in one case, three times). Thief convinces Fighter that he's picked a "random" representative from each team to have a fight to the death (naturally, he picked each team's Fighter), leaving a very confused Fighter fighting "himself"... but there's still really only one of him, so he stoically waits for an attack to counter, leaving him frozen in place for a while. But then again, you can't really trust Fighter to be realistic for long. |

In the Scott Pilgrim comics, unlike the movie, Nega-Scott has a much larger purpose. He's a manifestation of Scott's screw-ups when it comes to relationships and himself in general. Instead of defeating Nega-Scott, our hero has to come to terms with his dickery and has to merge with Nega-Scott in order to become a better person. | |

Initial D: This is what Takumi's final race essentially boils down to. Takumi's opponent drives a stock Toyota AE86, and has been driving the particular mountain pass they are racing on every night for many years, to the point of mastery. Like Takumi, he didn't see the appeal in racing at first, and like Takumi, he had to be persuaded to participate by the local racers. In short, Takumi is racing against himself from the start of the series. | |

Wonder Woman: Volume 1: In the '50s & '60s Robert Kanigher had Wonder Woman end up in an improbably large number of storylines that involved her fighting doppelgangers of one sort or another. In Volume 3 Gail Simone introduced the villain Genocide, who turns out to be an undead Bad Future version of Diana. The big bad of Wonder Woman: Odyssey is possessing an alternate universe version of Diana. Volume 4 (the New 52 book) revealed that in this continuity Donna Troy is an evil duplicate of Wonder Woman rather than her heroic little sister. |

One Highlander episode has Duncan go evil after killing a former friend of his and absorbing his dark essence during the Quickening. Eventually, Duncan goes into a cave and has a Battle in the Center of the Mind manifested as a swordfight between him and an evil double. Somehow, this also ends in a Quickening, although there's no body of the evil Duncan. | |

In the Force Heretic subseries of New Jedi Order, Jedi Tahiri Veila has a series of nightmares/hallucinations/Force-trance-somethings which pit her again various aspects of herself, including her Yuuzhan Vong implanted personality (looong story), which takes the form of — you guessed it — a mirror image of herself. Interestingly, they're actually mirror images: Tahiri is left-handed and Riina right-handed, and that's the only way to distinguish between them. | |

This is used quite a lot in Power Rangers, being a nearly once-seasonally tradition. Often they were led by a Monster of the Week. Zeo and RPM are the only seasons who haven't had it in some form — if not identical copies, then an Evil Counterpart team will be featured, like Space's Psycho Rangers, the Spirit Rangers and Five Fingers of Poison in Jungle Fury. Oddly, only once (the very first use of the gimmick waaay back in the original series) were they used to ruin the Rangers' good name, and never have they been used to pose as a friend and backstab a good Ranger. Oddly, the Sixth Ranger seldom gets a copy. But sometimes Tommy's subverted it, facing his past selves. | |

The straight-to-video film Replicant has Jean-Claude Van Damme play a serial killer and a clone created by the government to track him down. The clone has some sort of connection with the killer but a much nicer personality. In the end, they face off in a fight. The viewers expect to see a cool fight between two Van Dammes. Instead, they got an attempt at one, as the doubles try to punch and kick one another, only to perform the same exact move (but mirrored, for some reason) and strike the other's first/leg instead. | |

Kamen Rider Ghost has a literal example through an Evil Twin of Makoto Fukami (Kamen Rider Specter), whom the real one would fight in a Random Encounter, which results the actual Makoto suffer a seizure-induced pain each time he defeats his doppelganger. The trope is taken very literally by the time the series' reaches the endgame episodes when the impostor Makoto obtains his own Deep Specter Eyecon, all while beginning to adopt the real Makoto's mannerisms, and sporting his leather jacket to fool even further his friends. | |

Unfortunately, this proved impossible to pull off with any degree of realism, as the false Undertaker they got was quite a bit shorter and slimmer than the actual Undertaker. However, this didn't stop Vince McMahon from proclaiming, "It's like looking into a mirror!" | |

The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes: When Captain America finally gets to face off against his Skrull doppelganger, it goes down like this, though the Skrull Cap was already transformed and looks like an alien wearing the Captain America suit rather than a direct mirror image of the Star-Spangled Avenger. Cap is more than a match for his double and defeats him in a most satisfying manner. The episode in which Skrull impersonators of the first eight Avengers try to invade Wakanda has Black Panther, Wasp, and Hawkeye each fight alien versions of themselves. The real Black Panther and Hawkeye each kill their alien counterparts, while Wasp's becomes defeated by Hawkeye. The other Skrulls have to settle for fighting Avengers that they aren't copying. Another episode features the Avengers dealing with robotic copies created by Ultron. Two notable scenes in the episode include a direct example of this trope: One with Hawkeye and Cap dealing with their robot doubles at Avengers Mansion, and later at the climax when the assembled Avengers team take on the entire team of robot Avengers (save for the Captain America double, who had been destroyed in the former battle at the Mansion.). |

Steven Universe: In "Steven the Sword Fighter", Pearl summons a hologram of herself from her gem and spars with it to demonstrate sword fighting to Steven. "Ocean Gem" has Steven and the Gems fighting water clones produced by the eponymous gem, Lapis Lazuli. They're almost evenly matched, but the copies eventually gain the upper hand. Steven ends the fight by summoning his shield (for the first time in the series since "Cookie Cat", the first episode), which causes the clones to disperse. Noticeably, the music track that plays during the fight is called Mirror Match. In "Open Book", Connie ends up having a fistfight with a fake clone of herself in Rose's room. The fake Connie only disappears when Steven tells Connie the truth about what he thought about the ending of a certain book. In-universe example in "Steven vs. Amethyst" with the video game featuring Lonely Blade. Steven and Amethyst both choose him as their fighter, and Amethyst wins (or rather, Steven lets her win). |

ThunderCats (1985): In "Spitting Images", Panthro fights an evil clone of himself. They are evenly matched, but Lion-O ends the fight by blasting them both. The Sword of Omens wouldn't harm a fellow ThunderCat, but destroyed the clone. In "Fond Memories", Mumm-Ra takes on Lion-O's form before fighting him. Lion-O wins because Mumm-Ra keeps his weakness to his own reflection no matter what form he is in. |

Kamen Rider tends to have the main Rider fight against an evil (and usually dark-colored) counterpart. For example: Ryuki vs. Ryuga, Kabuto vs. Dark Kabuto, Kiva vs. Dark Kiva. Kamen Rider Dragon Knight inverts this by having the first example above flip sides. Ryuga is a good guy, and Ryuki is the bad guy. Kamen Rider Ghost has a literal example through an Evil Twin of Makoto Fukami (Kamen Rider Specter), whom the real one would fight in a Random Encounter, which results the actual Makoto suffer a seizure-induced pain each time he defeats his doppelganger. The trope is taken very literally by the time the series' reaches the endgame episodes when the impostor Makoto obtains his own Deep Specter Eyecon, all while beginning to adopt the real Makoto's mannerisms, and sporting his leather jacket to fool even further his friends. |

Eventually he starts wising up to the situation and extinguishes his Flaming Sword, causing his reflections to do the same (to their confusion) and making the fight slightly easier. | |

Happens in the Tiger Mask manga when Tiger Mask fights his imposter, who was too trained by Tiger's Cave. At first it wasn't this, as Tiger Mask refused to resort to fouls and wore an armband while the imposter had a knuckle duster, but at one point the armband is torn away and Tiger Mask snaps and makes the imposter lose the knuckle duster, and nobody can tell who is who even after one of the two defeats the other with Tiger Mask's finisher, the Tiger V, as they couldn't be sure the imposter wouldn't know that move too. The match promoter, who could tell the difference, decides to have a laugh and declares the winner is the "Yellow Devil", Tiger Mask nickname in his early days when he only committed fouls, with the public believing the winner was the imposter until he points out that he has steel fangs on his mask and the winner has plastic ones. | |

The One ends with a fight between two super-powered Jet Lis. While the villain Yulaw has more practice with his enhanced speed and strength, the hero Gabe is on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge and has been practicing martial arts daily. In the end, their style (Yulaw uses the more aggressive, straight-line Xingyiquan style, while Gabe sticks with the subtle, circular Baguazhang style) and terrain (the start of the fight is on a tight catwalk, and the end is on an open factory floor) decide the outcome. And yes, this is the best part of the movie, especially when both of them go to Super-Speed, and we see the fight from their perspective (i.e. Time Stands Still). | |

The Pony POV Series has had a couple of examples of this: The Final Battle of the Dark World Series is fought between the Elements of Harmony and Nightmare Eclipse's gallery of Nightmares. However, it's not a perfect example, since Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Nightmare Rarity are absent, while Derpy, Apple Pie, and Minty Pie lack counterparts. There's a purer example in the Wedding Arc's Final Battle, which is a duel fought between Cadence and Queen Cadenza (Alicorn!Chrysalis). |

Pale Lights mentions "gray mirrors", a kind of lemure found in Peredur, which duplicate their intended victim and can gain their memories by devouring them. Pereduri mirror-dancers (like Angharad), considered some of the most dangerous swordfighters in all of Vesper, gain that status by finding and dueling a gray mirror every year for ten years, even providing the mirror's sword. During the Trial of Ruins, Angharad jumps at a chance to fight a divine champion who can mimic a challenger's skills, and wipes the floor with him until he sheds the conceit and starts using his own arts instead. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: In Yu-Gi-Oh!, during the Orichalcos arc, Atem and Yugi end up facing each other. Yugi uses a copy of Atem's deck, except it has the Seal of Orichalcos in it. Somewhat played with in the final duel of Atem vs Yugi for the finale. Although both of them have "Yugi's" deck consisting of monsters he'd used all throughout the show it's split between the two so that neither of them play the same monsters at the same time. Ie: Yugi has Buster Blader, the 3 Magnet Warriors, and Summoned Skull while Atem has Gaia, the King Queen and Jack knights, Big Shield Gardna etc. Atem also has all 3 God Cards, which gives him a massive edge. In Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Judai and Edo's second duel seemed to be a mirror match at first, but it turns out that Edo had splashed some Elemental HERO monsters into his deck to fool everyone, and his real archetype is Destiny HERO. In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, one mini-arc featured Jack Atlas dueling against a robotic copy of himself who uses the exact same cards. The only difference is the copy uses three Red Daemon's Dragons instead of one and doesn't have Jack's Savior Dragon, Savior Daemon Dragon (gifts from the Crimson Dragon), or Trust Guardian (a gift from Crow). Jack gets curb-stomped the first time, but wins the rematch. In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, Crow duels a dark copy of himself who uses the same deck and strategies as him. However the copy has monsters that Crow doesn't have in his deck. |

In Changeling: The Lost, one of the central conflicts for changelings is how they deal with their fetch, the magical imposter that was left behind when they were abducted. Responses to coming back after the horrific ordeal that is service to the True Fey is hard enough without having to deal with something that wears your face and has been living (or ruining) your life while you were away. Depending on how the Storyteller wants to play things, the fetch could be a malicious sociopath out to ruin the changeling's good name, a dark reflection of the changeling (or even a light reflection—nothing stops the fetch from being a better person than the changeling it replaced), or an innocent bystander with no clue why this horrible creature it dreams about wants to kill it and take over it's life. | |

Teen Titans: All the Titans except Raven (who was turned into a demon and on her father's side), Jericho (who was badly injured), and Lilith (a wild card) were forced into nightmare scenes by Trigon where they had to fight their evil clones (Cyborg's copy was fully human but just as strong, stole his girlfriend, and made the disabled kids Cyborg befriended turn against him). All of them, even Nightwing and Beast Boy, killed their copies and their souls were forfeit to Trigon as a result. Unfortunately for Trigon, this didn't convert them to his side as intended and simply made their methods more ruthless. They killed Raven, which turned out to be part of Lilith and the goddess Azar's plan to stop Trigon (Raven got better... eventually). | |

In Yu-Gi-Oh!, during the Orichalcos arc, Atem and Yugi end up facing each other. Yugi uses a copy of Atem's deck, except it has the Seal of Orichalcos in it. Somewhat played with in the final duel of Atem vs Yugi for the finale. Although both of them have "Yugi's" deck consisting of monsters he'd used all throughout the show it's split between the two so that neither of them play the same monsters at the same time. Ie: Yugi has Buster Blader, the 3 Magnet Warriors, and Summoned Skull while Atem has Gaia, the King Queen and Jack knights, Big Shield Gardna etc. Atem also has all 3 God Cards, which gives him a massive edge. |

Dragon Ball: In a filler episode, Mr. Popo animates a life size doll made in Goku's image for Goku to spar with. Goku gets totally curb stomped, because while their power and skills are equal, the doll's mind is totally clear, allowing it to focus completely on the battle and move and utilize its power more efficiently. Goku only gets one good hit in, and that's because the doll ran out of energy and shut down. | |

So much that when they inevitably defuse, one of the halves has to ask which of the two other fighters is from his Universe. One of them just gives up. | |

In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, one mini-arc featured Jack Atlas dueling against a robotic copy of himself who uses the exact same cards. The only difference is the copy uses three Red Daemon's Dragons instead of one and doesn't have Jack's Savior Dragon, Savior Daemon Dragon (gifts from the Crimson Dragon), or Trust Guardian (a gift from Crow). Jack gets curb-stomped the first time, but wins the rematch. | |

As shown above, Pokémon Reset Bloodlines has the Mewtwo Strikes back arc start out with this between Corey's Venusaur, Neesha's Blastoise, and Ash's Charizard. However, the climactic battle of Originals vs Clones mostly averts it, since the originals need to resort to fight different opponents and try and gang up on the clones to overpower them, as they'd lose if they tried to fight them one-on-one. | |

Pretty Cure: In the Yes! Pretty Cure 5 movie, the Precures go into a mirror world and fight evil Cures. Previously in the franchise, a Game Boy Advance game based on Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart featured a mirror-themed stage in which Hikari faced an off-color duplicate of herself. HeartCatch Pretty Cure! does a combination of this and Enemy Without. Smile Pretty Cure!, much like the Yes! Pretty Cure 5 movie, pits the Precures against the Bad End Pretty Cure, Evil Knockoffs of them created by Joker. As in the movie, each Cure gets trapped in a different pocket dimension with their Bad End counterpart to fight one-on-one. |

Star Wars Legends: In the Force Heretic subseries of New Jedi Order, Jedi Tahiri Veila has a series of nightmares/hallucinations/Force-trance-somethings which pit her again various aspects of herself, including her Yuuzhan Vong implanted personality (looong story), which takes the form of — you guessed it — a mirror image of herself. Interestingly, they're actually mirror images: Tahiri is left-handed and Riina right-handed, and that's the only way to distinguish between them. Even Luke Skywalker has to deal with an evil clone of himself at the end of The Last Command; the clone is imaginatively named "Luuke" Skywalker. In defense (as someone elsewhere noted), it was named by a Cloudcuckoolander villain... |

Goblins has a variation; the dungeon the Maze of Many forms a link between all the dimensions in the multiverse, and pits adventuring parties against versions of themselves from all possible realities. It's not a straight mirror match, though, since while they all share some core similarities, there are differences between each individual, depending on which reality they originated in and ranging from subtle to very glaring. | |

Captain America: Issue #350. Steve Rogers (as the Captain) vs. John Walker (as Captain America) at the behest of the Red Skull (who was Back from the Dead in a cloned body of Rogers). The Skull even took on the winner - Rogers - thus providing a truer Mirror Match (since Walker was actually taller, stronger, and more prone to rage than Rogers)... except that the Skull-Rogers "fight" was really an excuse for the Skull to use his Dust of Death on Rogers. Walker intervened, however, and the Skull got a taste of his own bad medicine. An even earlier example of this came in Captain America #156, where Steve fought an insane 1950s impostor, complete with both wearing the Captain America outfit during their showdown. In addition, said impostor even looked like Stevenote He had been so devoted to Cap's original exploits, he volunteered to literally become Steve Rogers when the FBI wanted a Captain America to help them against the Communist menace in the 1950s., adding yet another layer to this all-American mirror match. The finale of Secret Empire is a battle between Captain America and his HYDRA-affiliated Evil Doppelgänger. |
