Line 15:
** Valvatorez from ''[[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten]]''. Let's just say fans have [[Counterpart Comparison|compared]] him to [[Code Geass|Lelouch]] and end it at that.
* Whenever a character casts a spell in ''[[Arc Rise Fantasia]]'', with the exception of [[The Straight Man|Rastan]], they're almost always over the top. Dyno's summoning chant is particularly notable amongst the fanbase, and easily the most memorable line in the game.
* Elsewhere in the [[Nippon Ichi
{{quote|'''BLASPHEMY INCARNATE!!!! DARK EBOREUS!!!!'''}}
* Luca Blight of ''[[Suikoden II]]'' is made of this trope. "DIE, PIG!!!!" "[[Pitiful Worms|A million maggots are still maggots]]!!!! I'll slaughter you all!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!". Yes, he usually ends sentences with at least 4 exclamation marks.
** While we're still in ''[[Suikoden]]'', [[Knight in Shining Armor|The Maximillian]] [[For Great Justice|Knights]] are [[Large Ham
* King Bohan from ''[[Heavenly Sword]]'' definitely qualifies, mugging for the camera, asking questions on how his generals DO what they do, and enjoying everything he does.
** Flying Fox, from the same game, also qualifies. [http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6o8apullXM "I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE styyyyyyle!"].
Line 24:
* ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]'', ''[[Samurai Warriors]]'', and the ''[[Warriors Orochi]]'' crossover games (in short, KOEI's entire Warriors franchise) has this in spades; a majority of the characters, both male and female, act according to an apparently obvious (often "judge a book by a cover" level) archetype.
** The scary thing is, it's not certain whether that's so or whether this is mere [[Flanderization]] and it's the ''[[Romance of the Three Kingdoms|original source material]]'' that's more hammy.
* SNK's [[Fighting Game
* ''[[The Elder Scrolls]]'''s Sheogorath and Malacath.
** [[The Guards Must Be Crazy|The Imperial Guards]]. "BY THE NINE DIVINES! THERE'S BEEN A '''MURDER'''!"
Line 45:
* Bang Shishigami, '''THE HAMMER OF JUSTICE!!!''', from ''[[Blaz Blue]]''.
** "NOW JUMP! INTO MY '''[[Rated "M" for Manly|MANLY]]''' CHEST!!!"
*** To rid this world of evil, HE SHALL BECOME THE <ref>
** '''[[Ear Worm|BAAAAAAAANG BANG BANG BAAAAAAAANG!!]]'''
** Hakumen can get quite hammy at times too.
{{quote|"I am the white void. I am the cold steel. I am the just sword. With blade in hand shall [[Knight Templar|I reap the sins of this world, and cleanse it in the fires of destruction]]. '''[[My Name Is Inigo Montoya|I AM HAKUMEN!]] [[Badass Creed|THE END HAS COME!]]'''"}}
** So can Jin when he's in [[Ax Crazy]] [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere
** And [[Eldritch Abomination|Arakune]] does too, surprisingly. Mostly in his pre-battle taunts.
{{quote|'''Arakune:''' In the end both you and I....are POINTLESSPOINTLESSPOINTLESS[[Laughing Mad|AAAHAHAHAHA!!!!!]]}}
Line 143:
*** And thanks to Albus mode, you get to hear his hamminess every time you perform a special attack. It's a completely different set of lines, despite being the exact same attacks, just for that extra ham flavor.
{{quote|"AHPTIKAL SHAWT! MAX SHOT! [[Teleport Spam|YOU CAN'T HIT ME YOU CAN'T HIT ME YOU CAN'T YOU CAN'T YOU YOU YOU CAN'T HIT ME!]]"}}
** Leon's [[Narm
{{quote|'''Leon:''' I'll kill you, AND THE NIGHT!}}
** ''[[Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow|Dawn of Sorrow]]'' has these in Japanese, as it was never translated into English, voicewise. The fight {{spoiler|against Soma as Dracula is particularly notable, with his marvellous evil laugh, and the way he calls out the name of the person you are using while throwing his wine glass away. Julius... BERUMONDOOOOOAAAAA!}}
Line 150:
** His [[Evil Counterpart]] Korgan is nearly as bad with his over-the-top [[Violent Glaswegian]] acting. Most of the villains get some epic [[Chewing the Scenery]] lines, but most of them, with the possible exception of Irenicus, also know when calmness is called for.
** Just those two? ''[[Baldur's Gate|Baldurs Gate]]'' is a textbook example of a [[World of Ham]]. There isn't a single character who ''isn't'' awesomely over the top and loving it. The closest thing you can find to a character played normally is the [[Fake Russian]] half-elf druid.
* The ''[[Command & Conquer]]'' RTS series of games is legendary for its wonderfully cheesy FMV cutscenes and a healthy dose of [[Deadpan Snarker
** In-game, you have the [[Psycho Electro|Tesla Troopers]], who toss off [[Bond One-Liner
** On the Soviet side, there's Stalin himself, who gets nuttier (and hammier) as the game progresses, The psychic Yuri, who seems to be channeling Bela Lugosi for the entire game, and the most ''Hamtacular'' of all - Premier Romanov, who [[Chewing the Scenery|will only let go of the scenery when they pry it from his cold, dead]] ''[[Chewing the Scenery|jaws.]]''
** For the Allies, there's President Dugan, a [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]] version of [[Bill Clinton]], and General Carville, who serves his Ham Texas-style.
Line 246:
YOU CALLED, LITTLE SHAMAN. AND THE FIRELORD HAS ANSWERED!
Funnily enough Ragnaros has ceased speaking in all caps in his own realm of the Firelands. Perhaps he doesn't wish to out-ham his new ally, Deathwing. }}
** And then there's Cho'gall, who has two
{{quote|Foolish mortals - (Usurper's children!) Nothing you have done - (SPAWN OF A LESSER GOD!) I am trying to speak here! (Words, words, words! The Master wants MURDER!)}}
*** They get back into agreement when attacked:
Line 299:
** "'''I AM SHODAN!'''"
*** Her echo voices get even hammier. For example, after she says, "I lust for my revenge" in the second game, another one of her voices says, "my '''REVENGE!'''"
* Razputin from ''[[Psychonauts]]''. He's voiced by [[Pigeonholed Voice Actor|Richard Horvitz]], who almost exclusively plays [[Large Ham
{{quote|'''Raz:''' [[I Can't Use These Things Together|Before I can use this machine]], I need to go to the Camp Store... ''to buy some '''delicious taffy!'''''}}
** Dr. Loboto
Line 306:
'''Loboto:''' You'll be singing a different tune. A tune in the key of '''BRAINS!''' }}
** Ginny Westcott as the '''Den Mother'''. Even in a game notable for its [[Large Ham
*** But Coach Oleander takes the cake.
* Despite not having any voiced dialogue, Rawk Hawk from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' is ''insanely'' hammy. This is fitting,
** [[Big Bad|Bowser]] too. Especially in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', where his [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|size increases]] along with his ham.
{{quote|'''Bowser''': I'M HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!}}
Line 432:
'''[[Final Fantasy XI|Shantotto]]''': "NOW I'M '''MAD!!''' [[Noblewoman's Laugh|Oooohohohohoho!]] I'm driven to DESTROY!"<br />
'''[[Final Fantasy XII|Gabranth]]''': "By my SWORD! KNOW THIS '''PAIN!''' [[Kiai|Hmph hm hah!]] ''Take your last breath.'' Surrender now to '''OBLIVION!!'''" }}
** And the [[Big Bad]] Chaos ''outhams them all''. But then, he's voiced by [[Norio Wakamoto]] in the Japanese version and [[Keith David]] in
{{quote|"KNOW DESPAIR! ''Hollow beings!''"
"You are ''weak''...CEASE TO EXIST!"
Line 526:
'''"ANY AND ALL FUCK-UPS, GET BACK TO ADMIN! WE NEED REINFORCEMENTS!"'''
'''"WHY IS THAT FUCKING SOLDIER STILL ALIVE? SOMEBODY JUST FUCKING SHOOT HIM ALREADY!"''' }}
** In ''FEAR 3'', Paxton Fettel starts heading into hammy territory once he gets pissed. Peter Laurie ''really'' had fun hamming up some of Fettel's most unstable moments, especially his [[Evil Laugh
* ''[[.hack]]//GU'' has Haseo who can get pretty hammy, as can Piros the 3rd and [[Crispin Freeman|Sakaki]].
** ''SKEEEIIIITH!!!''
