* In ''{{VideoGame/TeamFortress2}}'', the nine classes usually fight identical doppelgängers from the opposing team. When dominating a the same class as you [[note]]Kill, or assisting in killing, one particular opponent four times without said opponent killing or assisting in a kill against the player in the process.[[/note]], 6 out of the 9 mercs will mock the opposing doppelgänger and chide them as an inferior knockoff.
-->'''Scout:''' ''"Hit the road bozo, let a real Scout get to work!"''
-->'''Soldier:''' ''"You're a disgrace to the uniform."''
-->'''Demoman:''' ''"Thus begins my thousand year reign of blood!"''
-->'''Engineer:''' ''"A real Texan woulda dodged that."''
-->'''Sniper:''' ''"One Sniper to another, mate: Give! Up!"''
-->'''Spy:''' ''"You are an embarrassment to Spies everywhere!"''

* ''VideoGame/LoveOfMagic'': Owyn from the original timeline is really unimpressed by the choices made by Owyn from the AlternateTimeline. In particular, Owyn from the AlternateTimeline spent all his time having sex with [[spoiler:Jenny, Bella, and Katie, instead of developing his abilities on the paths and making Molly a Chosen.]]

* ''VideoGame/MortalKombat1'': Sindel's reaction to finding out about her EvilDoppelganger from the timeline encompassing ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'' to ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11'' is to remark that the other Sindel "sounds like a screeching harpy."

* In ''VideoGame/KirbyFightersDeluxe'', Kracko's pause description on Very Hard suggests that he knows [[RobotMe Mecha-Kracko]] from ''VideoGame/KirbySqueakSquad''. And from what we hear, he's ''not'' very pleased with being replaced.

* Whenever there are two versions of Bowser in a [[Franchise/SuperMarioBrothers Mario RPG]], expect this trope to come into play. ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPartnersInTime'' mixes this trope with MyFutureSelfAndMe when Baby Bowser and adult Bowser meet, but ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPaperJam'' plays it more straight with [[VideoGame/PaperMario Paper Bowser]] and [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi "regular" Bowser]]. The Kameks from the two worlds also find each others' laugh to be annoying ([[HypocriticalHumor even though it's completely identical]]).

* Late in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyDimensions'', it's revealed that [[spoiler:the "red mage" Elgo]] is Emperor of Avalon. This flummoxes the Warriors of Darkness, who met "him" during their journey, but he calls that his weakness given form (or in other words, his sense of ''morality'') and dismisses him as "worthless trash".

New trope name.


* During the prologue of ''VideoGame/LegoDimensions'', the Batman from the DC Comics universe runs into the Batman from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie''. They almost immediately get into a SissyFight with each other.

** There's also [[VideoGame/{{SUGURI}} Kyoko]], who express considerable annoyance towards Kyousuke (a [[GenderFlip gender-flipped]] version of her from ''QP Kiss''), mostly due to his habit of being a WalkingShirtlessScene.

* ''VideoGame/OneHundredPercentOrangeJuice'' has [[VideoGame/{{SORA}} Star Breaker]] (an AxCrazy [[OmnicidalManiac Omnicidal]] PyroManiac) and Reika Hoshino (an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent, originally from a Drama CD), two different versions of the same person. Both are noticeably grossed out by the fact that they both look identical to each other and actually have special dialogue between each other to reflect this.
-->'''Reika:''' "She looks so identical to me... disgusting."\\
'''Star Breaker:''' "Ew, the same face as mine. Gross."
** There's also [[VideoGame/{{SUGURI}} Kyoko]], who express considerable annoyance towards Kyousuke (a [[GenderFlip gender-flipped]] version of her from ''QP Kiss''), mostly due to his habit of being a WalkingShirtlessScene.
** In addition to that, Shifu (the BigBad of ''Suguri'') is clearly annoyed by his [[RobotMe robotic doppelganger]] [=NoName=], namely due to the latter being a lecherous pervert (not that Shifu himself is any better, but still...).
--->'''Shifu:''' (after defeating [=NoName=]) "I feel so disgusted."
* In ''VideoGame/CaptainMorganeAndTheGoldenTurtle'', adult Morgane talks to a younger version of herself, and neither of them is particularly impressed. Young Morgane had hoped to grow up prettier and adult Morgane thinks her younger self is a brat.
--> '''Young Morgane:''' If I'm honest, I'm a little disappointed.\\
[...]\\
'''Adult Morgane:''' I don't ever remember myself being this obnoxious.
* In ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'', you spend a lot of time hopping between Home World and Other World, where everyone's lives went slightly or entirely differently. You can bring along party members to meet their other selves, and sometimes they are ''not'' impressed -- pirate captain Fargo, for instance, is disgusted by the embittered gambling hall operator Fargo.
* ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' video games tend to have [[FutureBadass Future Trunks]] displaying varying degrees of annoyance with his main timeline counterpart, mainly due to the fact that Kid Trunks is something of a SpoiledBrat (while Future Trunks, who grew up in an AfterTheEnd hellhole, is well-mannered and pragmatic). Usually though, Present Trunks manages to do something that wins his other self's respect; in the ''VideoGame/DragonBallZBudokai'' games it's Kid Trunks achieving Super Saiyan at a young age, while in ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse'' it's [[Anime/DragonBallGT GT Trunks]] coming to the [[PlayerCharacter Future Warrior]]'s aid during the Super 17 Saga.
** Note that this doesn't actually come up in the ''DBZ'' anime, as Future Trunks only interacts with his other self when the latter is a newborn baby...though he does pull on Future Trunks' hair. It's averted in ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' when they actually get to meet for real and get along just fine.
* ''VideoGame/TheJourneymanProject 2: Buried In Time'': After you, Agent 5, acquire a copy of Arthur from Amarax Station, you can jump back to that same place and retrace your steps along the same path. Along the way, Arthur apparently has a problem with how his original self sounds.
-->'''Your Arthur:''' You know how the things you hate most in others are the things you hate in yourself? Well, this guy's beginning to ''get on my nerves.''
* During the prologue of ''VideoGame/LegoDimensions'', the Batman from the DC Comics universe runs into the Batman from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie''. They almost immediately get into a SissyFight with each other.
* The NightmareSequence in Episode 5 of ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange'' has a guilt trip part where an Alternate Self of Max delivers a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to herself. It isn't made clear if this is an actual alternate self, or just Max's own subconscious guilt, however.
* In the ''VideoGame/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAsPortable'' games, Nanoha and Fate are shown to get along really well with [[TheSpock Stern]] and [[BoisterousBruiser Levi]], their [[PureMagicBeing Material]] duplicates, despite the fact that their copies have completely opposite personalities from them. Hayate and Lord Dearche on the other hand... hoo-boy. Before becoming allies, Hayate considered her CardCarryingVillain of a twin to be an utter pest while Lord Dearche completely despises Hayate's very being. After becoming allies however, Hayate tries to connect with her duplicate much like Nanoha and Fate did, while Lord Dearche... still hates everything related to Hayate, so Hayate alternates between trying to become friends with her and outright {{Troll}}ing her.
* Whenever there are two versions of Bowser in a [[Franchise/SuperMarioBrothers Mario RPG]], expect this trope to come into play. ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPartnersInTime'' mixes this trope with MyFutureSelfAndMe when Baby Bowser and adult Bowser meet, but ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPaperJam'' plays it more straight with [[VideoGame/PaperMario Paper Bowser]] and [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi "regular" Bowser]]. The Kameks from the two worlds also find each others' laugh to be annoying ([[HypocriticalHumor even though it's completely identical]]).
* In ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', Commander Shepard, who by this point is FamedInStory because of the events of [[VideoGame/MassEffect1 the first game]], is told about a VI (an artificial not-all-that-intelligence, much like a computerized personal assistant) modeled after him/her. In the third game, s/he can actually find one and it promptly begins throwing out dialogue tangentially related to Shepard's imported [[KarmaMeter reputation]], boasting that it can predict the real Shepard's responses with ''7%'' accuracy. If anything, the real Shepard is [[DoIReallySoundLikeThat horrified that it might be that high]].
** Likewise in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3: Citadel'', [[spoiler: the clone of Shepard is roundly mocked for ''not'' being Shepard both [[PlayedForDrama dramatically]] (s/he doesn't really understand the concept of [[TrueCompanions a team]]) and [[PlayedForLaughs comically]] (s/he co-opts Shepard's {{catchphrase}} "I should go", to the latter's consternation).]]
* In ''VideoGame/Portal2''[='=]s Perpetual Testing Initative DLC, Cave Johnson is annoyed by most of his alt-universe counterparts, calling them 'backwater universe yokels' and developing a rivalry with Dark Cave.
** Though the latter case is inverted later on:
--->'''Cave Prime:''' ''[laughs]'' Oh, Dark Cave, you are the only one around here who gets me.
* In ''{{VideoGame/Prey|2017}}'', [[RobotBuddy January]] ranges from dismissive to outright hostile towards its alternative counterparts, especially December. This also verges on IHatePastMe as all the Operators including January were created by Morgan Yu who was suffering from a repeating case of [[AmnesiacHero amnesia]] and came up with mutually-contradictory plans after every reset. January just appears to be the most recent version.
* ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankRiftApart'': [[HarmlessVillain Dr. Nefarious]] does not get along well with his [[AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome vastly more competent]] alternate universe self, [[KnightOfCerebus Emperor Nefarious]], seeing him as an arrogant {{Jerkass}} who's never had to face a real challenge. Emperor Nefarious gladly returns the favor, scorning Dr. Nefarious as a pathetic loser. [[BothSidesHaveAPoint They're both right about each other.]]
* ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' has a very interesting and spoiler filled take on the trope: [[spoiler:Asch the Bloody is the original Luke fon Fabre and sees his replica as this trope because he doesn't accept him as his own person.]]
* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'': Everything your "Future You" says in the quest "Mysteries of the Infinite" is a direct attack on the player. Never mind the fact that you're both wearing the same kind of equipment... and that the NPC comments on your "old gear." Of course, you can later get revenge of sorts when you get to repeat the quest at level 80 and be the "Future You" for now "Past You." Past you also comments on how much better your gear has gotten.... despite visually wearing the same gear. (Especially if you go back in the future wearing equipment that your past self not only has not yet acquired, but cannot wear at his or her level.)
