In a story where the villain is a Worthy Opponent, or if the hero and the villain are Mirror Characters, sometimes it's easy for the hero to predict their antagonist's every move. His Sidekick asks him how he knows what the Big Bad is going to do next, and the hero responds by saying it's because he knows that if their positions were reversed, that's exactly what he would have done. This is often used to show that the hero and the villain do in fact have more in common than the hero is usually willing to admit, or that they're on the same level intellectually. The line is most often uttered by Anti Heroes or reformed villains who know the tricks of the trade and are able to think like a villain. In Darker and Edgier stories, this may push the hero into morally gray territory, letting the audience know that this character who they thought was a good guy may be no better than the villain himself. He doesn't blame the villain for kicking his dog, running over his little sister, and devouring that orphanage full of babies, because placed in his antagonist's situation, he would have done the same thing. In speculative fiction stories, sometimes the hero knows what the villain will do because they may be effectively the same person, in which case it is much easier for the hero to imagine himself in the villain's shoes. Sometimes this line is uttered by the villain himself, who understands the implications of his actions and realizes that the hero is only doing his job, and tells the hero that he doesn't hold it against him for trying to kill him, and he should just get it over with, either because the villain knows that if he were the hero he would do the same, or because the villain wants the hero to know that he's just that much of a bastard and would be just as likely to kill the hero if he were given the chance. It's also a common line of The Atoner, particularly if he or she is protecting someone from his or her former kind (such as Professional Killers). Of course, kinder and gentler heroes will not take the villain up on his offer in order to show that there is, in fact, a difference between them and that the hero will not stoop to the level of a villain by obliging his request. Contrast To Know Him, I Must Become Him. See I Know You Know I Know for the results of both sides following this line of thinking to its logical conclusion, factoring the other side's predictions into their own analysis. Examples |

In Predators, being a veteran hunter himself, Royce mentioned in detail how the predators would approach in killing their prey, quoted this exact line "that's what I would do". Mombasa takes it one step further, giving a detailed description of a sadistic trap for human prey, then saying, "I know because I have done this." |

In a previous book in the same series, Night Watch Discworld, Sam Vimes watches an unsuccessful attack against a massive barricade that La Résistance have used to block off a large part of the city; it's a rather inefficient approach, he muses, and if he'd been in charge of leading the attack he'd have tried Cutting the Knot by having men go into the cellars of buildings near to the barricade and break through walls until they could come out on the other side... although he'd had his people go through all the buildings near the barricade on their side and board up every cellar door they could find just in case. | |

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody says that, even if Voldemort had believed their deception about taking Harry away on his birthday, rather than earlier to get him safely away while his protection still theoretically works, the guy would have to be crazy not to have an agent keeping watch, citing this trope as his basis. | |

Star Trek: In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Balance of Terror", this is Kirk's comment after the nameless Romulan commander dodges one of the Enterprise's attacks: "He did exactly what I would have done. I won't underestimate him again." The Romulan commander does pretty much the same thing, guessing Kirk's actions and motivations while saying "If I were their commander, that is what I would do." In the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Deadlock", a Negative Space Wedgie duplicates Voyager and its crew, but only one can survive. This trope works better than usual because Captain Janeway really does know what her other self will do. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Done from the perspective of a third party. To gain a powerful ally against the Dominion, Garak kills a Romulan senator and makes it look like the Dominion did it. |

Doctor Who The Two-Part Episode "The Rebel Flesh"/"The Almost People" has a lot of this, since all the one-off characters — and the Doctor — get duplicated throughout the course of the story. Most impressively, one of the doppelgangers manages to guess a password that her original created after the split happened, because it's the password that she would have used. In "The Vanquishers", the Doctor is split into three Doctors in the same timeline but different areas of Space. One Doctor turns up to rescue the other and traps the Big Bad in his own torture device. When the rescued Doctor says, "That's what I would have done!" her (somewhat confused) companion points out, "That's what you did do!" |

There's an episode of Criminal Minds that pretty much epitomizes this trope, "Elephant's Memory". Spencer Reid has insight on the case because he identifies with the unsub, as they shared a history of being bullied in school. At one point he uses this exact phrase when asked how he knew where the unsub would be. | |

In The Chronicles of Riddick (2004), Riddick seems to know everything that happened in the fight that he wasn't there to witness, and then the others escaped in the chaos. When asked how he knew all that, he said it was his plan. | |

In The Longest Day, General Erich Marcks tells his adjutant he's going to win the upcoming wargaming exercise, where he's commanding the OpFor, because he's going to break all the rules about amphibious attack across the Channel by not attacking the Pas de Calais during a stretch of good weather, but instead Normandy in bad weather. Like they're having right now. He then dismisses the idea of actually doing it in real life because no one is that stupid and/or crazy. However, once he finds out the British are dropping decoy parachutists into Normandy, he realizes immediately that the Allies are that crazy and is the first German general officer to understand what's happening. | |

In South Park Season 18 episode 2, "Informative Murder Porn," the boys track down the kid who was teaching their parents Minecraft. The kid comes up with an excuse and the boys leave him alone, only for Cartman to realize the excuse would exactly be the sort of thing he'd say if he was caught. | |

That is the default mode of playing Chess. Also, most computer chess algorithms involve flipping the perspective in order to guess the opponent's moves. | |

Sherlock Holmes claims to be using the same method. In The Musgrave Ritual, Holmes matches his wits against an unusually clever criminal (no, not Moriarty). Afterwards, he tells Watson it was one of his easier cases; normally he has to adjust his deduction of what the criminal would do, since most people are significantly less smart than himself, Holmes. But in this case, what the criminal did is exactly what Holmes himself would have done, making it easier for Holmes to follow him! | |

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Deadlock", a Negative Space Wedgie duplicates Voyager and its crew, but only one can survive. This trope works better than usual because Captain Janeway really does know what her other self will do. | |

In the Sonic The Hedgehog OVA, Sonic's robot counterpart, the Hyper Metal Sonic was programmed through Sonic's life data, knowing his likes, dislikes, personality, and all of his thoughts. Being on the same wavelength, this leads to their even fight. | |

There's a scene in Babylon 5 where Sheridan predicts a particular move by the Shadows because "that's just what I'd do." Delenn is horrified by the notion of Sheridan thinking like the enemy. | |
