FEATURED RIVALRY #9:

Protagonist vs. Eric Sparrow (Tony Hawk's Underground)



"Tony Hawk's Underground (also known as 'THUG') was the first story-driven Tony Hawk game, and imo it was pretty good. Not only that, but your main character is fully customizable, so even though it features his own dialogues as a character, it can have whatever characteristics you like... including a bare skull (which is pretty funny to look in action in the cutscenes).

Anyway, you're an average skater with a home in New Jersey, and your best friend is Eric Sparrow. Both of you are looking forward to (and pretty hyped for) the pro skater Chad Muska's arrival to the neighborhood. Soon he'll have a chance to see your abilities and invite you over to meet Tony Hawk, as well as many other pro skaters, in your journey across differen cities, and Eric is your faithful companion.

The problem begins in Hawaii when, after you performed a jaw-dropping McTwist over a flying helicopter between two buildings, Eric steals your thunder by telling everyone that the guy he videotaped was actually him and not you. From that moment on, friction is present and ongoing between the two. At one point, however, he sincerely apologizes and you get back to being friends.

But... by the time you arrive again in New Jersey, now becoming a full pro skater, he gets cocky and mocks you again, so you have to face a final challenge against him in order to determine who gets to keep the tape of your feat. At the end, you beat him, and he makes a tantrum by swearing at you and claiming he's still better than you. Now that's quite a twist ending you don't see every day!

This is an interesting rivalry because it's a very rare case of two pals developing issues with the pass of time. The way it's handled is something I haven't actually seen in any other media, and that's pretty cool." -Advokaiser
