Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Ness' Trophification in the Subspace Emissary

This part I thought to be very sad. Wario has a Dark Cannon, and is about to turn Lucas into a Trophy. He is defenseless and not nearly as fast or brave as Ness. Just as he is about to be Trophied, Ness rushes in and pushes Lucas out of the way, and in the process, turns into a Trophy. Ness risked everything for a friend, and put himself on the line. Even if he were to never return, it would have been to save the one who would've never been able to do it... *sniff*

Tales of Symphonia: Zelos' Death

'''WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD. EVEN IF YOU'VE BEATEN TALES OF SYMPHONIA, THERE'S A CHANCE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS PART. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.'''

Okay, so most people have played Tales of Symphonia and gotten the ending where Lloyd defeats Mithos, gets the Eternal Sword, and revives the Great Tree. So, we've all seen that one. But there's another one. If you reject the first 3 characters that want to talk to you at Flanoir, Kratos calls Lloyd's name. If you answer, you will talk to him. When Zelos betrays the party at the Tower of Salvation, rather than running off and you fighting the Gatekeeper, he doesn't run off and you fight him instead. Well, when you defeat him, you incidentally kill him. Moreover, Sheena cries over his death despite thinking he was a pervert, and it's just a sad scene in general. He never meant to hurt anyone. He just didn't want to be Chosen. He just wanted to be on the winning side.
