Most swole video game characters

A character so swole that they actually make note of it.

"A mountain of meat. Never seen anyone bigger." Letho is the fucking man!

From The Witcher 2 for those wondering.
 
Time to bring my old favorite SNES game, FEDA: Emblem of Justice

Got a bunch of buff warriors there, one even has barely any clothing, but has one of the highest defenses!

Daily reminder that you will never see a diverse race in modern JRPG. All are just moeblobs or sameface mcfujoshibait
 
That art is so good. I miss this artist... don't know the name but he worked on Landstalker, Shining Force and Alundra too. He should definitely get more work, very talented and unique style.

Has anyone posted Demitri, Pyron and Bishamon yet?

Come to think of it most of the male cast of Darkstalkers would fit... Sasquatch, Victor, Donovan, Anakaris...

Victor the swolest!

Ralf and Clark are definitely some of the most swole. (Especially compared to previous incarnations) Goro is buff but he's tall and spread out more whereas Ralf and Clark are short and extremely buff and the muscle mass is distributed across a smaller area.
I think it's just KOF13 artists going insane...

The original Ralf and Clark:

I find really weird, the disconnect between the art and sprite.

Like, Leona looks like a hardened fighter in her art but her XIII sprite makes her look like a moeblob.
 
A trend I wholeheartedly endorse. :D

While we're doing the whole furry thing, Jiro's Shadow guardian in Blue Dragon might fit this.

I liked Marumaro's a lot more. The idea of chubby li'l Marumaro wielding this ultra-swole tiger was just awesome.

Not that Athena was ever particularly "cut," but at least Leona made out better :p

Oh snap how could I have forgotten Ein.

Yoshitaka Tamaki. Much responsible for the Shining series visual style, including anthro characters. I've had the great honor of working with him on an unrelated project.

Heh, no kidding. Especially Demitri and Donovan with their spray-on "costumes."

Edit: Also not necessarilly having a problem with the kemo-kemo fur-fur direction the thread is going...
 
This is my kind of thread. :3

Chris Redfield is the one true Bara character to rule us all. Best redesign of a character, ever. Took a bland, everyman-esque hero and made him into an iconic musclegod. Oh, and propelled the Resident Evil series to it's best selling entry of all time.

Haters can stay pressed.

RE 6 Chris is the best IMO

As much as I love me some male furry characters, to avoid a stagnant thread I bring Vanessa from Virtua Fighter 4. (Yes, 4 specifically.)

Goddamn. Swole. Yet feminine.

I was holding this one back for a while. She just wasn't swole enough to compete here. But... since this was posted now I figure why not.

Gotta love orcs. Aint no floppy little animus here.

Kind of wondering how swole game characters aren't a fetish in the first place.

It probably is. Who knows. What I do know is that certain subjects like 80s-90s non-human fantasy characters used to be just that until the internet came along and started lumping them all into their own sub categories of wank material. What's that Breath of Fire, Chrono Cross, Escaflowne, and Magic the Gathering? Buff animal people you say? We'll take that and forever flag it as furry etc etc. Made drawing certain things hella awkward.

Thank you. Ridiculous internets bias/marginalization (bless you, Something Awful). Finally, we're getting beyond it.
 
Tekken's Jinpachi Mishima is super swole for being over 100 and dead normally.

He's only out-swoled by Craig Marduk, though to be fair, Craig Marduk is larger than Kuma, a full grown grizzly bear standing on it's haunches. He's even bigger than the Jack androids who are designed to be swole.

His thumb is probably bigger than your dick.




Also, Huang Gai (aka, "Huang Thighs") as of the recent Dynasty Warriors games is very swole. And also perpetually old.

And Meng Huo went from tubby to super-heroically swole in the matter of one and a half games.

Before

After

He sort of retained it for one game, but now he's back to being a little tubby.
 
What about ANYONE from Muscle Bomber's cast? Their muscles appear to be going to blow up at any moment!

Tetsuo Hara has that effect on his artwork. Making characters muscles literally explode has been his calling card for three decades now.
 
The Joker end game boss from Arkham Asylum.

Also wins for one of the worst boss battles ever created.

Batman's not too bad himself to be honest. Obviously from a purely heterosexual way. I just love the was the light bounces off his sculpted abs, and his dreamy eyes penetrate my soul with such a primal longing... ahem
