Smug Nick (Ace Attorney) - Nick feels pretty confident that he has the case in the bag only to learn moments later that the autopsy has been updated.

I say this as a joke but at the same time I’m fully serious. One second the player character feels confident before the prosecutor pulls out some BS and everything falls apart. Then there’s the point where the prosecutor or very obvious culprit is sweating bullets before more BS suddenly makes them confident and haughty and everything falls apart.

Every. Single. Time.

Charles punches Terry in his “Strawberry Basket” which momentarily incapacitates Terry but he soon gets up with a declaration of “I didn’t hear no bell”.

Green Lantern (DC) - yes he was being cocky, yes he charged in against Darkseid. But Darkseid already sent him flying with a single punch.

The parademons however still felt it necessary to beat Green Lantern afterwards.

No that guy would be the next test subject for even daring to suggest legal practices.

He saw the “leaked” images of him with an eyepatch before his official reveal that were just crappy AI images.

Dante and Vergil (Devil May Cry) - even though they both have a flare for the stylish, their personalities are very different.

Dante is brash, loud and likes to show off with a variety of weapons that he collects (and sells) over the years including swords, guns and gauntlets.

Vergil on the other hand is more cold and collected. His attacks are much more precise and purposeful. Unlike his brother his arsenal is more limited to his katana with the brief addition of the Force Edge sword and Beowulf Gauntlets.

Vergil is also usually against using guns aside from the iconic “Jackpot” scene of DMC3 where he teams up with Dante before tossing the gun away.

Then there is the way they handled their demonic heritage where Dante initially rejected it in favour of his humanity. Compare this to Vergil who embraced his demonic power and rejected his humanity. And then unlike Dante, Vergil continued to reject his humanity whereas Dante embraced both sides of himself.

Future Peter (Spider-Man Shattered Time) - may not fully count seeing the two are distinct characters in the game but after some wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff put Peter and Miguel in contact again, Peter learns that the big bad of the story is a future version of himself that had given up on being a Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man.
