But dark rumors are circulating of an evil presence up at the castle. When he too is targeted, the adults suspect the former Shadow Club of being the cause, but they are surprisingly innocent and the main character begins sleuthing to figure out who is trying to frame them.
After blowing through military academy in record time and without finding anyone who can match his strategic genius, the titular protagonist of Ender's Game meets a strange old man in Command School, who catches him off guard and beats him up. Turns out the old guy is Mazer Rackham, the hero from the last war against the aliens, whose victory Ender is being groomed to repeat.
His introduction is awesome: I've had too many teachers, how was I supposed to know you'd turn out to be a-. An enemy, Ender Wiggin. I am your enemy, the first one you've ever had that was smarter than you. There is no teacher but the enemy. No-one but the enemy will tell you what the enemy is going to do. No-one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer.
Only the enemy shows you where you are weak. Only the enemy tells you where he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you. I am your enemy from now on. From now on, I am your teacher. Drkh off the rhetorical road. Drkh looks as if he's just taken a fifty-caliber round in the small of his back.
Drkh has had a long career of being the weirdest person in any given room, but he's about to go down in flames. The Dukes of Hazzard: Once the series became a hit, the writers decided to introduce several new adversaries that were intended to be more focused, smarter and determined than usual antagonists Boss Hogg and Rosco. The most notable of these recurring characters were Hughie Hogg, Boss Hogg's nephew who was college-educated and seemed to come up with a more nefarious plan to defeat the Duke family once and for all; and Chickasaw County Sheriff "Big" Edward Little, who while not a villain per se, was far superior in law enforcement ability than Rosco ever hoped of dreaming At one point during their first episode, Boss is alarmed that Coy and Vance are returning, suggesting that when in Hazzard County earlier, they made the now-departed Bo and Luke "look like choir boys.
Occasionally done in-universe, with Boss Hogg firing Rosco or other deputy Enos Strate for various reasons, and replacing them with "better" officers at least in the case of Rosco, that was true who were more willing to do Boss' bidding and show little to no mercy when they confronted Bo and Luke.
In the end, the "new" deputies always proved to double-cross Boss and were criminals themselves. Two of these examples are stated outright: Greg refuses to cool down and what his father, Mike, was trying to help him understand figure that this may simply be the trope taking effect — ergo, Warren simply is better than he is at basketball and was the better candidate for class president. Instead, Greg lets it fester in him, calling Warren a phony who lies to his classmates and kisses up to his teachers and coaches The show has both Jon and Theon talk about coming to terms with growing up feeling this in regards to Robb.
Jon reminisces that Robb was better at fighting, riding, hunting, and being a ladies man while they were growing up together, just the same way Sam feels compared to Jon, while Theon always looked up to him and felt he stood in Robb's shadow. I was jealous of Robb my whole life. The way my father looked at him? He was better than me at everything. Fighting, and hunting, and riding. Gods, the girls loved him. I wanted to hate him, but I never could. Is he smarter than you? Would you trust him with your life? That's your Chief of Staff. This is unheard of! Face it, Pierce is the best cutter in the outfit.
He's certified in chest and general surgery. Frank, in case you haven't read the papers, there's a war on.

The idea behind most championship title changes — given that the winner gets the victory by clean means i. There was just one setback throughout this for him, but a recurring setback. Losing to Mil Mascaras. Joshi female Japanese wrestler Mariko Yoshida is considered one of the best submissionists of either gender in pro wrestling, and beating her on the mat is essentially impossible for other pro wrestlers.
Then Yoshida fought a worked wrestling match against Megumi Fujii - a legitimate MMA fighter who retired with a record with 16 submission wins. Fujii countered all of Yoshida's best holds with relatively little effort. Yoshida's pride wouldn't allow her to stop going for submission holds no matter how often Fujii countered them. Yoshida finally gave up on trying to beat Fujii on the mat and started using pro wrestling moves, eventually winning via backslide. Triple H was forced to realize that Batista was this to him in after Triple H lost 3 straight ppv matches to him, even handing Triple H his first pinfall loss inside the Hell in a Cell he had been in 5 before that, winning 4, and was not involved in the winning decision of the other.
After Matthews won the singles title, she and Perez went to 3G to inform them it proved the Ninja's superiority only to be laid out by Nakagawa. Their only solace was that neither member of 3G would win the belt until both teams had broken up. This was the setup for Brock Lesnar 's rematch against Goldberg at the Survivor Series - according to Paul Heyman , the fact that Goldberg is the only man he hadn't beaten kept him awake at night. And after a match lasting less than 2 minutes, Goldberg went up before Lesnar finally conquered him at Wrestlemania.
CM Punk was this to Chris Jericho. It was to the point that, when asking Paul Heyman for another match with Punk at Payback , he outright admitted he needed to beat Punk, and after he failed with that match, he finally stopped trying, conceding that Punk was simply better him. Often a source of frustration in virtually any online game. No matter what you do, there will always be someone with better reflexes, a quicker mind, or more practice. Being a true contender for the title of 'best' often requires absolutely obscene time investment.
The higher ranked online players of Fighting Games rarely allow you to get a move in, meaning that you can't beat them without doing unblockable combos. And given that they are used to doing this, it is virtually impossible to beat them. Many professional fighting game players stream their training sessions and ranked online matches for fans to see on websites like TwitchTv. One of the constant themes during the ranked matches, is that despite them being well known as top tier players at events like The EVO Championships, they'll always come across a random online player who'll completely dominate them.
Most professional's don't complain, however, they actually add them as friends, then set up private matches with them to get even better at the game. This describes the relationship between Kieran and Oscar in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and subsequently Radiant Dawn. Kieran is a loud, obnoxious man who challenges Oscar at every possible moment, yet Oscar isn't even aware of it until he breaks Kieran out of prison. He is indifferent to Kieran's continued proclamations. Grandia II 's protagonist Ryudo has always been a lesser swordsman than his brother Melfice.
This becomes a considerable problem when the group meets the now psychotic brother at various points in the game, generally leading to a Hopeless Boss Fight or two before Ryudo is finally able to defeat him. Dias Flac is this to Claude in Star Ocean: A better swordsman, and another love interest for Rena whom he has history with - Claude just showed up.

Final Fantasy VII has Teioh, the black chocobo found in the chocobo races whose stats are always higher than your chocobo's, even going past the normal maximum stats.

He's always a step or more ahead of you, getting to places and making noteworthy achievements much faster than you can. Anne, at which point the player has probably caught barely half that number. Your rival does rush in after it's all over to offer advice, but ends up just standing there in awe of the fact that you won. Your first rival, Bianca, chooses the starter that's weak to what you picked, doesn't seem to know what she's doing sometimes and usually just accepts that she's probably the weakest of the three of you.
Your other rival, Cheren, chooses the starter with an advantage over yours may actually beat you in your first battle but from then on, continues to lose to you, which he chooses to challenge you after almost every goddamn Gym battle, usually lamenting his loss with "why are you so much better than me?
All the while, the Rival never becomes angry or bitter and is only mildly frustrated at the inability to catch up. Not only will you always be a step ahead of Hau in terms of completing the island trials, but you'll actually end up with the starter that's strong against his. But the greatest parallel is after you've become the Champion and have to defend your title. Remember how in Red and Blue you fought your way through the Elite Four only to find that your rival had beaten you to it?
This time, it happens again, only this time you're the one who got there first. The first title defense battle is always against Hau.
He stays upbeat for the most part, but as you continued to defeat him, he gets visibly more frustrated at the fact that he can't beat you. Despite giving everything he's got, you still best Hau. Wily has always been second to Dr.

Light, which is the main reason why he turned evil in the first place. He has won the Silver prize at the worldwide engineering grand prix and was a nominee for the Nobel Prize in Physics. Guess who won all of these. A lot of the animosity between the Player Character and Junpei Iori in Persona 3 is specifically attributed to the latter's jealousy of the former's talents.
After the first phase of their boss fight, the traitor's rant against the Phantom Thieves makes it clear that they're jealous of everything Joker has been able to accomplish, and that they just want to be acknowledged for their talents. Even though Joker tries to talk sense into them, it doesn't take, and the traitor just attacks again while undergoing a Villainous Breakdown. Why am I inferior to you!?

When it's not Bro, it's Davesprite or some other future self. When it's not them or rather, when he is them , it's John. He does not see himself as a hero, whereas he feels Bro and John are. And since they're the same person , Davesprite has the same problem. He saved Alpha John from death, gave Dave a bunch of power-ups, and even dueled with the Big Bad , yet he still can't help feeling like a cheap knock-off of the "real" Dave. And then there's the Alpha timeline, in which Dirk feels this way about having Dave as his older Bro and guardian. Even though Dave died hundreds of years before Dirk showed up.
Cole disliked him because he was a constant reminder of just how flawed a person Cole is in comparison. Played for Laughs in Moonstuck with Blueblood, who ends up outdoing heroine Woona in several ways A chapter of Book Wyrms actually invokes this. Considering that Gwendolyne is the product of generations of genetic selection and training all geared towards making the perfect warrior, she's probably isn't exaggerating much.
Dunkelheit was always second best to the hero Guardian and this bothered him so much that it eventually drove him to villainy.
It's also heavily implied that he also felt inferior to his sidekick Darkslug , who was younger and more powerful than him. In Tower of God , one character is so frustrated about this and Can't Catch Up , that he decides to kill Rachel to stop Baam from climbing.
When Baam once again proves his genius by saving her with a technique he had just been shown, said character gives up and commits suicide.
