* ''VideoGame/ShrekSuperslam'': Princess Fiona is playable in both her human and ogre forms, and both have their own unique playstyles: Human Fiona is [[FragileSpeedster fast but doesn't deal much damage]], while Ogre Fiona [[MightyGlacier hits harder but is less mobile]]. Both characters have different slams, with Human Fiona throwing ninja stars while Ogre Fiona sends musical notes around the stage by singing. Both versions also wear different outfits, with the former wearing her iconic green dress from the first movie and the latter wearing a {{Valkyrie|s}} outfit created for the game.

** Certain characters have alternate EX movesets that give them different attacks. They are as follows: Ryuko, Chung, Amiro, Anmc P, Giant, GS, Sin, Kay, Sakuya, Alex, Sou, Erus, OS Feng, Gon, Gigi, Sww, Ziro and Yinan.

* ''[[VideoGame/UmiharaKawase Umihara Kawase Bazooka]]'' has two different versions of VideoGame/{{Cotton}}: Cotton (Origin), based on her classic appearance from her own series, and Cotton (Fresh!), based on her appearance in ''Fresh'' (namely wearing the same outfit as Kawase's).

** In the case of Z-Mega, he gets an extra slot as Shin-Z, who is only playable in Battle Royale.

%% ** Gran and Djeeta are a sort of played-with example: while both look visually distinct from each other, the story portrays them both as [[AlternateSelf Alternate Selves]] from each other, being different versions of the [[PlayerCharacter Grandcypher Captain]] from different continuities, right down to having similar intros and outros where both Lyria and Vyrn accompany them.

* ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'': Following her being PromotedToPlayable as the final character of the first Season Pass, Marie Korbel is split into her unplayable "Bloody Marie" boss form and her playable form.

* ''VideoGame/TwistedMetal'': From the second game onwards, Needles Kane/Sweet Tooth shares the roster with Marcus Kane/Roadkill, [[spoiler:on account of both of them being [[SplitPersonality split personalities of the same person]]]]. ''Head-On'' also adds in Dark Tooth and Tower Tooth, both driven by Needles and Marcus at the same time.

* The original version of ''VideoGame/DongDongNeverDie'' gave Dong Dong two slots: one for his regular self, and one for [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Violent Dong Dong]]. As of the ''[[UpdatedRerelease Judgement Day]]'' update however, Violent Dong Dong was removed and seemingly replaced by [[WebAnimation/{{Hololive}} Inugame Korone]] of all people.

** Psylocke was split into two forms as well: her classic Psylocke form with telepathic powers and a psychic knife, and "Betsy", a (at the time) more modern version who had Telekinetic powers that took the form of a katana instead.

* For ''[[VideoGame/RivalSchools Project Justice]]'' some characters (Batsu, Hyo, Daigo, etc.) have a variant character that is placed in a separate slot from their "main" version. This descends from ''Rival Schools'' where Akira has two different character slots to herself (one with a helmet and one without) and is given a different Team-Up Attack.

* ''VideoGame/ZoneOfTheEnders: The 2nd Runner'''s Versus mode gives Jehuty four slots and Anubis two: Jehuty gets its original form, Jehuty Version 2, Damaged Jehuty and [[EleventhHourSuperpower Naked Jehuty]], while Anubis gets both its original form and Aumaan Anubis.

* In ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2'', ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} is divided into two versions -- one with his standard Adamantium claws, which uses his ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom1'' moveset, and another with bone claws, which uses his ''VideoGame/XMenVsStreetFighter'' moveset.

* ''[[VideoGame/{{Cotton}} Cotton Boomerang]]'' noticeably has three different versions of Cotton and Appli each, with each one differentiated from each other by colour palette and firing pattern, in order to accomodate for the team-based gameplay.

* ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe: Red Hot Rumble'' gives the starting six characters[[note]]Viewtiful Joe, Sexy Silvia, Captain Blue, Captain Blue Jr., Blade Master Alastor and Emperor Jet Black[[/note]] casual/depowered forms as separate slots based on and similar to Joe and Silvia's depowered forms from the main games. In addition, Captain Blue and Emperor Jet Black also get two alternate forms based on their appearances as the final bosses of their respective games: Young Captain Blue for the former, and Dark Hero Jet Black for the latter.

** Link, the player character in ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'', is present as three distinct fighters. Link, present since the beginning of the series, represents the character's appearance in major console titles. Young Link, debuting in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee'', depicts Link's younger form seen in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]''. ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'' replaces him with Toon Link, whose appearance and abilities are drawn from ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker The Wind Waker]]''. ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' includes all three variants concurrently, while giving the adult Link new mechanics inspired by ''VideoGame/BreathOfTheWild''[[note]]His bombs are manually detonated, and he can pick up missed arrows from the ground to fire a double-shot[[/note]] to better set him apart.

** ''VideoGame/Tekken8'' sees both Kazuya and Jin get unplayable boss versions of themselves in the arcade mode: Kazuya gets Devil Kazuya (aka. Kazuya permamently locked into his Devil transformation, letting him use his Heat Attacks without consuming the Heat Gauge) and [[spoiler: True Devil Kazuya (aka. Kazuya absorbing Azazel into himself, greatly enhancing his powers and granting him access to some of Azazel's moves too)]]. Jin meanwhile gets [[spoiler: Angel Jin (Jin combining his Devil Gene with the Kazama clan's purification powers]].

* ''VideoGame/StreetsOfRage 4'' has alternate retro versions of certain characters based on their appearances in previous games. Both Axel and Blaze in particular have ''four'': their current versions are part of the starting roster, while their retro versions from the previous three games are unlockable.

** Nezha first appears in ''Warriors Orochi 3'' as a {{Cyborg}} godslayer (though with a CripplingOverspecialisation in that regard, which means humans can defeat him). The Ultimate expansion to the game added in prequel chapters, where the cast learn [[WeCanRebuildHim Nezha?s cybernetics were used to resurrect him]] after suffering a CurbstompBattle from Orochi, and as such get to fight alongside ?human Nezha?, who takes up a separate slot in the roster from his cybernetic self. In ''Warriors Orochi 4'', Nezha once again first appears as a cyborg, though in this case, his human self doesn?t make a story appearance, and instead is unlocked alongside his cyborg self, again, as a separate character with his own roster slot.
