Call me a basic bitch, but in terms of staging and sheer memorable quality, Dark Link in OoT has to be up there with the best.

I'm surprised people like this trope. Its the lazyest and shityest idea for a game. Its not imagitive cos its still the same MC and he will have the same moves which you saw like 100 times already. And thats why Logan is the worse wolverine movie

In The Note (PSX) there is one that appears after you look into the mirror. If you shoot him, you take damage, and he can also shoot you. The trick is to destroy the mirror.

100% mirror match where they act exactly like you? Yes.
Where it's a dude who's just like you but better and he's slowly walking towards you? If you don't think that's the tightest shit then you don't deserve this genre.

>> No.10961091

>>10961046
indeed.
like the examples I posted, >>10956682 the shadow clone/doppelganger in dd2 has similar moves, but he can also do stuff you can't, especially the hadouken.
>>10959805 copy robot attacks of his own accord, while also matching anything you can throw at him.
both these examples do it right.
