@Dalaamclouds THANKUUUU
@theia yeah thats kind of what inspired me to make the list

In Maverick Hunter X, X and Zero are the antagonists in Vile's route
Chimera Beast is a rather unique one in that you get the good ending by dying to the final boss
Wasn't Hakumen a final boss in the first Blazblue? He's kind of a legendary hero
Richter in SOTN if you want to count mind control. Julius in Aria of Sorrow for sure
Rando in Lisa certainly counts
The final boss of MGS3 for sure
Velvet is fought as a boss in Odin Sphere depending on the route
Altered Beast kinda counts? The "antagonist" is just a friendly member of the special effects crew since everything is a movie being filmed
Armoured Core 4 Answer cus IIRC the hero of 4 is fought in some routes, the same is true of the first White Glint in 4 I believe?
Yasha is arguably more heroic than Asura in Asura's Wrath and is fought several times
Gunvolt is fought in Copen's route in Gunvolt 2
Bayonetta if we're counting mind control
I think in Contra Shattered Soldier there was some dumbass twist about Lance being evil cus he was actually the good guy all along
The end of Mortal Kombat 9 certainly qualifies? Raiden makes a lot of enemies out of his former allies lol
Tales of Vesperia has an easter egg fight against Kratos in the coliseum
Guilty Gear X/XX series has a LOT due to the character-specific routes, same with Jojo fighting games or SoulCalibur tbh
The Imperfects fight the marvel superheroes in Marvel Nemesis
Proto Man in Mega Man 3 is revealed to be on your side
Zero in MMX5 in the infected route of course
Ryu Hayabusa in that shite Yaiba game
Edgeworth in Ace Attorney 1 case
Max is mind controlled in Streets of Rage 4
