Mirror Match

The Miirror Match is a match and a sub-boss battle introduced in Mortal Kombat.

A match where the player has to face the character they're playing as in kombat.

In the original Mortal Kombat tournament, kombatants had to not only face their enemies in battle, but themselves. Facing a dopplegänger, players had to defeat a warrior who shared their own strengths and weaknesses.

A similar mirror match is also featured in Mortal Kombat Malibu Comics when Lt. Sonya Blade battle her doppleganger as the beaten Johnny Cage watched them fight in confusion.
