Line 43:
** Chaos. "RICHAAAAARD!"
** '''MICHAEL!''' counts too
* Bang Shishigami, '''THE HAMMER OF JUSTICE!!!''', from ''[[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]''.
** "NOW JUMP! INTO MY '''[[Rated "M" for Manly|MANLY]]''' CHEST!!!"
*** To rid this world of evil, HE SHALL BECOME THE <ref>HAMMER</ref> OF JUSTICE!!!
Line 58:
** And Iron Tager?:
{{quote|"Any last words!? THIS IS GOING TO BE... '''YOUR END'''!!"}}
** In fact, it's probably easier to say that ''[[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]'' is a [[World of Ham]], because '''''every single character''''' is a [[Large Ham]] at some point.
* Eric Avari as [[Zork|Grand]] [[Big Bad|Inquisitor]] [[Large Ham|Yannick]]: "AND NEVER FORGET! WHO IS THE BOSS OF YOU? ME! ''I'' AM THE ''BOSS'' OF YOU...I ''AM'' THE BOSS OF ''YOU''...I ''AM'' THE ''BOSS'' OF YOU!"
* Kratos from ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]''. [[Badass|But the gods help you]] [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|if you call him that to his face]].
Line 261:
*** ...and then [[Scary Black Man|Warmaster Blackhorn]].
{{quote|''Look's like I'm doing this myself. [[Blood Knight|Good!]]''}}
* In the ''[[StarcraftStarCraft]]'' universe, it's the ones who ''aren't'' hams that are rare. While the Ghost may get his [[Creepy Monotone]], he can ''keep'' it, because almost everyone else is pure unabridged ham. Third prize: Tassadar's big speech at the beginning of the final mission. Second prize: Terran [[Kill It with Fire|Firebats]]. And the grand prize goes to...[[Drop the Hammer|The Siege Tank]]. Honorary mentions go to the Terran Marine, the Terran Dropship, the Protoss Zealot, the Terran Wraith, both Protoss Archons, the Zerg Overlord, and the Terran Vulture. Some voice actor was evidently having a lot of fun while recording that game.
** The Infested Terrans.
{{quote|''"Live for the Swarm!"''}}
** The Overmind. Essentially being God to the [[Horde of Alien Locusts]] doesn't help.
{{quote|''"Awaken my child, and embrace the glory that is your birthright. Know that I am the Overmind; the eternal will of the Swarm, and that you have been created to serve me."''}}
** In ''[[StarcraftStarCraft II]]'', we have Thor pilots, and the hybrid Maar, among many, many other units and characters. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhklRF3nQlE See Maar here.]
* Ansem from ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' ({{spoiler|Actually, Xehanort. The true "Ansem" is actually very good at avoiding this}}). His first few scenes has him speaking in a [[Creepy Monotone]]...and then comes the epic [[Final Boss]] battle, in which ''every line'' he speaks (in both the battle and cutscenes surrounding it, in both Japanese and English versions) is made of pure ham:
{{quote|'''Ansem''': So, you have come this far and '''STILL''' you understand '''NOTHING'''. Every light must fade, every heart return to '''DARKNESS!'''}}
Line 326:
** And what about [[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Ghirahim]]? "FURIOUS!" "''OUTRAGED!''" "'''''SICK WITH ANGER!'''''"
* ''[[Sinistar]]''. He hungers! '''RUN, COWARD! RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN!'''
* Every iteration of ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]: [[Dawn of War]]'' has (at least!) one large ham, but ''everyone'' involved had to take a step back to let Brother-Captain Indrick Boreale from ''Soulstorm'' pass...
** Every single Chaos Lord ([[The Quiet One|except for Eliphas the Inheritor]]) is frothing at the mouth during all their scenes. [http://1d4chan.org/images/3/3c/Chaoslordz.jpg This image probably says it best]
{{quote|'''Firaeveus Carron''': Rhinos, '''RHINOS!''' Our enemies hide in '''METAHL BAWKSES'''! The ''Cowards!'' The '''FOOLS!''' We...We should '''TAKE AWAAAAYYY''' their '''Metahl Bawkses...'''
Line 395:
'''Erazor:''' THE WORLD IS MINE! I cannot be denied by that filthy rat! WHHHHHHYYYYYYY??!? }}
** Besides the [[Large Ham/Western Animation|Western Animation]] example, Dr. Robotnik/Eggman in the games with voice acting.
** And ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 (video game)||Sonic the Hedgehog 2006]]''. With DAN GREEN as Mephiles, chewing the scenery as he goes while travelling through time <s> with ma chicken</s>, and Shadow becomes much more so too. LETS GET MOOOVING!
* [[Final Fantasy I|No one leaves out my quote!! TVTROPES EDITORS?? You impertinent fools. I, Garland, will knock you all down!!]]
* ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'', in the DS remake. Every character gets to ham it up at one point or another, but Cid in particular near eats the scenery whole.
Line 516:
* [[City of Heroes|I AM NICTUS!]]
** For the record, the above is rendered purely through text, font, and [[Going Through the Motions]].
* ''[[Wild ArmsARMs 4]]''. [[Knight Templar|Lambda]] is particularly hammy, breaking into [[Manly Tears]] while monologing about Filgaia's future on more then one occasion.
* [[Insistent Terminology|Crasher Wake]], the [[Professional Wrestling|pro wrestler]]-themed Gym Leader of Pastoria City in ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]'' games.
** "[[Pokémon Black and White|I'm absolutely perfect.]] [[I Am the Noun|I AM PERFECTION!]]"
Line 636:
{{quote|'''Teisel Bonne:''' I said... '''''CLOOOOSE''''' the '''''HAAAATCH!!!'''''}}
* [[Final Fantasy VI|Ultros.]]
* "[[Alone in Thethe Dark|I'm the LIGHT BRINGER!]] '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB5_88L5EO0 I'M THE FUCKING UNIVERSE!!!]'''"
* The [[Enemy Within|Shadow bosses]] of ''[[Persona 4]]'' are, as a general rule, ''far'' hammier than the people they're a Shadow of. For example, [[Mad Scientist|Shadow Naoto]]. ''"Why '''DELUDE''' yourself?! '''[[Punctuated! For! Emphasis!|I AM YOU!]]'''"''
** From the same company, we have these great examples from ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]'':
Line 654:
*** It helps that Sigma is voiced by [[Mobile Fighter G Gundam|Master Asia]].
** Lumine from X8, though he has a generally calm voice, his dialouge is pretty over the top
* In ''[[RunescapeRuneScape]]'', Kal'Gerion and any of his generals.
* Caterina Sforza from ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', especially during [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R4PoofP4bw this scene] (skip to 7:35 for the good stuff). [[Cut His Heart Out with a Spoon]] doesn't ''begin'' to cover it. And the fact that it's [[Truth in Television]] only makes it ''better''!
** ''Every civilian'' is a ham, especially after seeing you kill a guard or stealing money from a corpse.
* Henry Stauf of ''[[The Seventh7th Guest]]'' and ''The Eleventh Hour''. [[Evil Is Hammy]] indeed.
* '''[[Meat Boy|WAAARP ZOOOOOOOOOOONE!]]'''
* Almost every line from almost every character in ''[[X-Men Next Dimension]]''.
Line 681:
** 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.]]
