Line 75:
:::You almost expect [[Code Geass|the Geass symbol]] to appear [[Hey, It's That Voice!|in his left eye]] as he shouts this.
** Starting from ''Destiny 2'', any [[Invocation]] of any Hi-Ougi by any character will do this. Emotionless characters will intone oaths and spells with great gravitas, more [[Hot-Blooded]] ones let out their [[Screaming Warrior]], and bosses, especially of the final variety, will reach [[Off the Scale]] ham levels declaring their intent to rend time, space, and creation.
*** For example, here's a Hi-Ougi from ''[[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World]]'':
{{quote| '''{{spoiler|Ratatosk Mode }}Emil:''' "'''SEEEEAAAAAAH!'''" * slash slash slash* "'''This is the FINAL STRIKE!'''" * BOOOM!!* "[[Evil Laugh|Hehehahahahaha!]] Darkness devours! '''[[As Long as It Sounds Foreign|AIN SOPH AUR!!!]]'''}}
*** On the subject of ''Tales Of Destiny 2'', Barbatos Goetia is likely the hammiest villain in the entire series, thanks to [[Norio Wakamoto|his voice actor]].
Line 280:
{{quote| '''Saïx''': ALL SHALL BE '''LOST''' TO YOU!<br />
'''Saïx''': I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH '''NOTHING!''' }}
** Seems this is endemic with anyone associated to Xehanort as ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep|Birth By Sleep]]'''s [[Big Bad]], Master Xehanort, can give Ansem{{spoiler|/Xehanort's Heartless}} and Xemnas a run for their money. {{spoiler|Natch, because he's the precursor to ''all of them''.}} Helps to be voiced by [[Leonard Nimoy]].
{{quote| '''Master Xehanort''': "'''[[No Indoor Voice|BEHOLD!]]''' These lifeless keys used to be full of ''power.'' United with the hearts of their masters, on this barren soil, Keyblades of light and darkness were ''[[Milking the Giant Cow|locked in combat!]]'' As the great Keyblade War '''RAAAGGED!'''"}}
** [[The Dragon|Vanitas']] helmet seems to act as a ham filter, as he spends most of his time with it on talking in the smug voice of a [[Magnificent Bastard]] who knows there's nothing the heroes can do to stop him. Once it's off, you can tell his voice actor (in both versions) really starts to enjoy himself.
Line 307:
** Ginny Westcott as the '''Den Mother'''. Even in a game notable for its [[Large Ham|Large Hams]] her scenery chewing stands out. "''The milk is NOT ready, and YOU are NOT ready for the MILK!''"
*** But Coach Oleander takes the cake.
* Despite not having any voiced dialogue, Rawk Hawk from ''[[Paper Mario: theThe Thousand -Year Door]]'' is ''insanely'' hammy. This is fitting, though--he's a professional fighter, and grandstanding is part of the biz. If you mess with the Hawk, you're gonna get '''''RAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWKED!'''''
** [[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!}}
* The King of Hyrule in the ''[[The Legend of Zelda CDI Games|Legend of Zelda CD-i]]'' games is worth the price of admission alone. "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNpLXo55yfw Mah boi!] This peace is what ''all'' true warriors strive for?" "''Enough!'' My ship sails in the morning. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mHw5g55oC4 ...I wonder what's for dinner?]" [[Big Bad|Ganon]] is also fairly impressive: "''Join'' me, Link, and I will make '''you a face,''' the '''''grrrreatest''''' in Koridai! Or else '''you will ''die'''''!"
Line 502:
** Wesker's [[Foil]], Sergei Vladimir is every bit as hammy, being a ridiculously over the top Russian, who speaks every line in a deep booming voice, and looks as though he's just walked out of a 1950s propaganda movie.
*** "''Do'' try to keep me amused, and do ''not'' disappoint me by ''dying'' too soon. I ''do'' want to enjoy this... ''[[Giggling Villain|Eheheheh~]]''"
* "EVERYTHING EVERYTHING EVERYTHING! DAMN IT ALLLL!!!" Edge Maverick, ''[[Star Ocean: theThe Last Hope]]''. True, he did just {{spoiler|accidentally cause the blowing up an alternate dimension's Earth, killing billions of people}}, but the way the scene played out was just hilarious. His emotions in general are acted oddly.
* The cast of ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'', in one way or another. The Heavy, Soldier, and Demoman are the biggest ones, but they ''all'' have their moments. (The Sniper and Spy are the most reserved, but appropriately hammy moments can mostly be found in some of their domination/revenge lines.)
** The fan made mod known as Versus Saxton Hale Mode pits a team of players versus Mann Co.'s CEO, [[Testosterone Poisoning]] incarnate [[Memetic Badass]] Saxton Hale. The latest version of the mod now includes voice responses for Saxton Hale, and true to form they are [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/VS_Saxton_Hale_Mode/Saxton_responses full of delicious ham.]
Line 543:
** TAGGART! KEEP RUNNING YOU BASTARD!
** [[Narm|"TAGGART! YOU SUICIDAL MORON!"]]?
* White Knight Leo from ''[[Lunar: Eternal Blue]]''.
{{quote| "I AM NOT WHITE KNIGHT LEO! I AM THE AMAZING '''MYSTERE!!!''' PROTECTOR OF THE INNOCENT AND... uh... DEFENDER OF... '''TRUTH!!!'''"}}
** Ghaleon from ''[[Lunar]]: The Silver Star'' and its remakes and sequels count as well. ''Especially'' the first remake.
Line 563:
* Super Macho Man from ''[[Punch Out]]'' (Wii): "[[Punch Out|Are you READY? Cause I'm gonna put on a SHOW!]]" ([[Pec Flex|Flexes chest]] at the camera and winks, then [[Squick|turns round and flexes ass.]])
* The narrators of two ''[[Age of Empires II]]'' campaigns, William Wallace ("Build ten more... woooooaaaaad rrrraiderrrs!") and Genghis Khan ("The great Khan. GENGHIS KHAN!").
** One of the cheat units in ''[[Age of Empires III]]'', George Crushington, [[Attack of the 50 -Foot Whatever|a giant hopping bust of George Washington]] who headbutts his enemies with comical sound effects and shoots fire from his eyes, delivers this line to players: "CHECK IN YOUR WALLET. THAT'S ME ON THE DOLLAR BILL."
* Fawful from [[Mario and Luigi|Mario & Luigi]], although mainly ''[[Mario and& Luigi: BowsersBowser's Inside Story|Bowser's Inside Story]]''. He's already got the over the top opinion of himself, but a villain that talks in [[Zero Wing]] style Engrish, treats everything like a show and shouts his lines in bold text? [[Large Ham]] indeed.
** And Bowser himself would like to remind you that he's '''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2|HUUUUUUUUUUUGE]]'''!
* When you manage to out-Ham the player character, and the player character is voiced by [[Bruce Campbell]], you know you've arrived. So it goes with the ''delightfully'' batshit Baron Hajod from ''[[Tachyon the Fringe]]''. '''SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVVVVESSSS!!!''' Culminates in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htRArli-9UE mission] where he tries to [[Refuge in Audacity|steal the Sistine Chapel ceiling]].
Line 678:
* In ''[[Night Trap]]'', the guy playing Lt. Simms is deadly serious and is not above disconnecting your controller if you screw up or don't start the game fast enough.
** Mr. Martin ("THE WALL TRAP! AAAAAAAAAAAH!").
* In ''[[Star Ocean: Till the End of Time]]'', Luther gets pretty hammy.
** RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL PREVAIL!!
** The Time Gate on Styx is exceptionally hammy. "REEEESIIIIGN THYSELVES! REEESIIIGN THYSELVES!"
* The [[Mana Khemia Alchemists of Al Revis]] [[Mana -Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy|Khemia]] games have Flay "Defender of Justice!" "[[FLA Yvor]] of Evil!" Gunnar. Words cannot express his sheer hammy insanity. His [[Foe Yay|rival]] Tony Eisler has plenty of moments of his own too, frequently devolving into [[Angrish]] and vowing revenge.
** There is a LOT of prime ham in the MK games, especially in Fall of Alchemy. Practically everyone except Razeluxe is a ham at some point, and Chloe even manages to be a monotone Large Ham. Reicher comes in a pretty close third behind Flay and Tony, which is no small feat. It doesn't hurt that he shares a voice actor with Dissidia's Kefka.
* [[Mortal Kombat|Shao Kahn, just....Shao Kahn.]]
