watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 mortal
enemies in video games shall we wash you
shake for good old fashioned rivalries
in video games
the kind where nobody’s trying to kill
each other check out our upcoming list
of the top 10 video game rivalries I’m
sure you have time for one more game as
usual we’re covering one entry per
franchise hmm I like that idea number 10
CJ vs. officer Tenpenny grand theft auto
san andreas no no no no officer for once
let’s let the kid do something good with
this useless life in the corrupt city of
Los Santos there is no shortage of
unsavory characters and some of them
wear a badge using his influence and
power ken penny exploits CJ and the
Grove Street gang into doing his dirty
work
intimidate those who intimidate others
Carl it’s my job at first
CJ abides in order to protect the
well-being of his gang as well as his
city but by the story’s conclusion
Tenpenny and CJ end up on a collision
course of which there can be only one
survivor see you rad
office number nine shell vs. GLaDOS
portal series before when I was talking
about smelly garbage standing around
being useless that was a metaphor I was
actually talking about you ever since
chels awakening in the Aperture Science
facility she has been the pawn of the
perverse of AI GLaDOS oh it’s you you
know her it’s been a long time she wakes
up with no memory but is frequently told
by the machine that she was abandoned at
Birth initially leading child to believe
that she’s part of a test GLaDOS puts
her through hellish tasks it intends to
kill her this next test involves Taurus
you remember them right they’re the pale
spherical things that are full of
bullets
oh wait that’s you in five seconds much
to glados’s dismay shell makes it her
duty not only to escape but to dismantle
and destroy the corrupt AI something
she’ll hold against her come time for
the sequel I hate you so much
number eight Jimmy Hopkins versus Gary
bully you just arrived at the toughest
school in the country and I’m offering
to be your friend
trust me in a place like this you’re
gonna need friends making friends at a
new school is tough especially when
you’re first perceived friend is a
sociopathic sadist whose sole mission is
to rule the Academy and make your life a
living hell
I’ve run your world moron and don’t you
forget you did all my dirty work for me
Hopkins
despite being admittedly mentally
unstable Gary fools himself into
believing Jimmy is plotting against him
and in response formulates an elaborate
plan to turn the whole school against
him before Gary does any irreversible
damage to the school they face off in a
final rooftop battle moral of the story
never go off your meds Smith I heard the
whole thing you’re expelled
number six Chris Redfield versus Wesker
Resident Evil series your plans are
finished when there’s no way out the
time don’t you
of failing in your mission although they
once worked together it was soon
discovered that Wesker’s personal agenda
involved infecting the world with a
mutation virus and ruling over it as a
god I think you’re a bit confused I’ve
always been with umbrella once Chris
found out that Wesker is actually a
member of the sinister umbrella
corporation he sets out to stop him
which ultimately proves difficult
ever since you viewed himself with
superhuman powers going so far as to
turn his old partner Jill against him
Wesker pops up at the most inopportune
times in order to ruin Chris’s day again
and again well then I’ll just have to
show you quickly number six
sonic versus dr. Eggman aka dr. Robotnik
Sonic the Hedgehog series nobody calls
me that anymore this evil genius has
constantly been on the heels of the
spiky blue speedster for years and still
hasn’t quite found a way to catch up
with him egg man’s plans for world
domination have never come to fruition
thanks to Sonic’s intervention time to
scramble some hey man super sonic style
and despite the hedgehogs somewhat
arrogant nature
the doctors high IQ can’t put together a
robot capable of stopping him and trust
us he’s definitely tried this robot he’s
special
he’s powered by the energy from the open
display he is it they’ve established
themselves as their greatest adversaries
and while Sonic is always up for a
challenge Eggman has never been able to
take losing to the Hedgehog very well
destroy me you and what mustache number
5 link versus Ganondorf The Legend of
Zelda series these two are the
representations of good and evil within
their franchise and their history is
proved that the two can not coexist
[Music]
Princess Zelda frequently plays a role
in the evil warlock school of taking
over the kingdom of Hyrule
but the silent protagonist has been
there time and time again to rescue her
at every turn
making weak ganondorf’s greatest enemy
despite his hatred for the hero he also
holds him in high regard as link is the
only one he’s ever deemed worthy for a
one-on-one duel number 4 cloud versus
Sephiroth Final Fantasy 7 I understand
that you’ve been looking for me perhaps
the most iconic rivalry within this
role-playing franchise is also one with
possibly the richest backstory the two
were once believed to be best friends
but this was before Sephiroth killed
clouds actual best friend burns down his
village and threatened to destroy the
world
[Music]
yeah I know the whole thing escalates
pretty quickly
Sephiroth has grown a distinct hatred
for everything upon discovering what he
really was and cloud has sworn to stop
the convoluted Menace at any cost
tell me what you cherish most giving
pleasure of taking it away
[Music]
number three solid snake versus liquid
snake Metal Gear Solid series final
battle with you that’s all he lives for
I’m sure of it
sibling rivalry at its best or perhaps
clone rivalry would be more appropriate
either way these two test subjects came
from the same person big boss the
greatest soldier to have ever lived so
it’s true you and I are seeing as they
are both born from the best liquid has a
never-ending vendetta to indefinitely
determine who is actually the best
between them liquids rivalry with Solid
Snake has even transcended death after
his arm was infused with revolver ocelot
allowing him to take control of his body
whenever snake is around you’ve served
your purpose you may die now
number two Mario vs. Bowser Mario
Brothers series you can’t talk about
videogame adversaries without bringing
up these iconic two Bowser and his poopa
army have never really stood a chance
against the heroic plumber after
countless years of kidnapping princess
peach to assume control over the
Mushroom Kingdom or something Mario
demonstrates his tenacity in
consistently rescuing her it’s safe to
say that at this point their battles are
less about personal gain and more about
proving who confessed who before we
unveil our number one pick here are a
few honorable mentions
[Music]
hey shorty maybe I can help
what you again number one
sub-zero vs scorpion Mortal Kombat
series
welcome to legendary is what we go
hardcore I’m rockin your block you want
the media not the rivalry between these
two ninja combatants is as deep-rooted
as it gets
scorpion had his whole village and clans
slain by sub-zero and his clan versuta
could show that vision by after being
brought back to life
from the nether realm with supernatural
powers scorpion takes his revenge on
sub-zero and kills him in the Mortal
Kombat tournament I have avenged my
family and clan this subsequently allows
sub-zero’s brother to assume his late
brother’s mantle and seek revenge on
scorpion with both not resting until
either one is sworn to damnation these
mortal enemies take the top spot for
overall brutality I will have my revenge
but I will not kill sub-zero will or
