of goons in order to rescue her when

affection all’s fair in love war and
video games is
number nine Pitt versus dark pit Kid
Icarus Uprising let’s do this the dark
incarnation of pallet Anna’s loyal
servant pit mirrors the original in
almost every way but he’s had a vendetta
with the angel ever since he was created
brought into the world through the
destruction of the mirror of truth
dark pit has deemed it his mission to
take down his light counterpart just
making sure Pandora’s powers don’t go to
waste it doesn’t help that palutena
calls dark Pitka – as in pit number two
however underneath all that animosity
the two share a mutual respect as they
are known to team up to achieve a common
goal
hi I am dark pit servant to no other for
myself together we will rain death upon
you number 8 Jin Kazama
versus Kazuya Mishima Tekken series
the devil gene inflicted on this family
has indefinitely cursed them for life
it’s time for work the genes originated
from kazuya’s deal with the devil where
it was reluctantly passed on to his son
Jim Monica took it a yukl a damming his
cursed bloodline Jim attempts to kill
Kazuya but instead only succeeds his
father in his role as the Mishima
Zaibatsu ‘s head the only time the
father and son ever seemed to agree on
anything is when it comes to keeping
Jin’s even more sinister grandfather hey
Hachi out of control of the powerful G
corporation you thought your family was
dysfunctional
number seven team starfox vs Star Wolf
Star Fox series let you do that we
suppose that the galaxy is only big
enough for one team of space mercenaries
wolf and his team were originally picked
up by Andros to do away with Fox’s team
but after their alliance dissipated the
two were only interested in testing
their capacity as space pilots look like
we win today da wolf has been known to
expose his bittersweet side when the two
team up to take down even greater
threats but he’ll quickly fault this to
his promise to be the one to take the
legendary Fox down beggars can’t be
choosers I guess I know holy number six
sonic versus shadow Sonic the Hedgehog
series a quick-witted Hedgehog finally
met his match in Sonic Adventure 2 with
the creation of the perfect life form
shadow mirror Sonic and almost
everything skill wise but the dark
hedgehogs tenacity is something sonic
finds difficult to beat
the Chaos Emerald opposing each other at
almost every turn
the two finally find common ground when
shadows noble goal is revealed I often
wonder why I was created what my purpose
is for being here
although the entry of shadow may have
been a healthy addition to Sonic as a
character the arrival of the Shadow the
Hedgehog game marked the beginning of
the franchise’s downward spiral
number five Dante versus Virgil Devil
May Cry 3 you sure know how to throw a
party the twin signs of the demon king
Sparta have successfully redefined the
term brotherly rivalry I’m sure you have
time for one more game
despite their identical appearance the
two couldn’t be more opposite while
Dante has adopted the lifestyle of a
free-spirited demon hunter Virgil’s only
priority is to unlock his full demon
potential and to inherit their father’s
legendary blade couldn’t even melt a
marshmallow
sharing an endearing love for their late
mother the two have proved able to join
forces when either of their livelihoods
are threatened despite how cutthroat
there abouts might get the brothers
would probably have it no other way
how about a kiss room
I’m gonna kiss from this number four
Phoenix right versus miles Edgeworth
Phoenix right series
I intend to question the defendant with
all I have for that is a part of my
Creed
the one thing that forces them to oppose
each other is the one thing that finds
these two together the truth Phoenix and
miles grew up as childhood friends but
were soon separated when miles pursued
his dream of becoming a chief prosecutor
little did Myles know that he would
later face off against his once good
friend in the courtroom when Phoenix
became a defense attorney
the to use their unparalleled abduction
skills to not only uncover the truth but
to beat each other in the only way they
know how
number three Sora versus Riku Kingdom
Hearts series the winner gets to share a
paopu with Kyrie oh wait a minute
once carefree kids who hoped to one day
leave their Island home to discover new
worlds later became enemies both trying
to retrieve the heart of their mutual
friend Kyrie Kyrie open your eyes things
went south for these two when their
world is attacked by the Heartless and
Sora is chosen by the Keyblade to oppose
this new darkness while Riku on the
other hand accepts the darkness and uses
it as a vessel to try to save his friend
so I shall release you now princess
through a mix of manipulation and envy
Riku attempts to oppose Sora but later
helps him when he realizes what the
darkness has made him into and by the
way that’s all just in the first game
there’s no way you’re taking very hard
number 2 red vs. blue Pokemon series
what’s a Pokemon master without his
rival blue aka Gary aka asshat has made
his presence quite known with every
encounter when he intentionally chooses
the Pokemon that inherently defeats your
element
on top of his frequent unprovoked
challenges blue will never be shy to
tell red about his recent achievements
and successes it’s not as if his rivalry
isn’t welcomed but it’s as if he thrives
on the little one ups he gets over red
in the end the two inevitably make each
other better but just forget about being
friends before we unveil our top pick
here are a few honorable mentions number
one Ryu vs. Ken Street Fighter series
the two Shoko time masters have trained
together ever since they were kids so it
was only fitting for them to become the
greatest friendly adversaries hi Jana
you know me Ryu and Ken not only share
the exact same move set but the two
serve as a veritable yin and yang as Ryu
pursues a road of discipline and mastery
while Ken enjoys a more carefree
abrasive lifestyle ken is the closest
thing that Ryu has known as a rival
besides Sagat whom he permanently
scarred in battle
deep down the title of the strongest
matters little to these combatants they
fight for the sake of fighting do you
agree with our list you seem to be in a
bad mood which other video game
characters haven’t quite settled their
score for more awesome top 10s published
