3	----
4	* Despite not being combat oriented, the ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' series features [[CluelessDetective Detective Dick Gumshoe]]: a big, good-natured gorilla of a man who despite being the series' biggest ButtMonkey (perhaps second only to Phoenix Wright himself) is nonetheless the one with the most BigDamnHeroes moments under his belt due to his dedication to the law and willingness to act in times of trouble. He's also far and away one of the nicest people Phoenix and gang will encounter--provided you're not making fun of him for being [[DumbMuscle too dumb for his job]], [[ThePigPen slovenly]], or [[PerpetualPoverty perpetually in the red]], he'll go out of his way to be friendly to you.
5	* ''VideoGame/BattleForWesnoth'': In ''Son of the Black-Eye'' campaign, Grüü fulfill this role in the party as your main troll unit. Being a troll means he is tougher and rely on brute force more than your orcs units and Grüü's dialogues are mostly related to smashing his enemies.
6	* ''VideoGame/CthulhuMythosTheSleepingGirlOfTheMiasmaSea'': Yurie is the best fighter in the party, especially with her skill "Martial Arts". The trade off being that she has the lowest sanity of the party members, as well as having "Ghost Phobia". However, her phobia allows her to do additional damage to the ghosts if given the right weapon.
7	* Kanna Kirishima from ''VideoGame/SakuraWars'', a rare female [[TheBigGuy Big Guy]] -- who is a musclebound type with [[TheIdiotFromOsaka rough-hewn manners]], but also [[BoisterousBruiser a cheerful and smiling attitude]].
8	* The Heavy Weapons Guy of ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' is this when he's on your team -- on the enemy team, he's TheBrute. He carries a minigun weighing over three hundred pounds which costs $400,000 to fire for twelve seconds, and cackles insanely while using it. He's most likely to be the BoisterousBruiser, but if his presence is bigger than his physical size, think how big his presence must be.
9	** With the reveals from ''VideoGame/PokerNightAtTheInventory'', we can mix type 5 into that... he has a Ph. D. in Russian Literature!
10	** The Heavy is only a BoisterousBruiser when he's caught up in the heat of battle, though. Outside of battle, he's a textbook case of a Type 1--stoic and aloof, a side that's mostly shown in the comics and the aforementioned ''Poker Night at the Inventory'', but rarely in-game. The "Meet the Heavy" trailer shows both sides of him fairly well, as he goes from coldly telling his audience that he's yet to meet an enemy that could outsmart a bullet to loudly screaming and laughing on the battlefield.
11	** While not nearly as massive, the Soldier and Demoman also qualify, as Class-4s.
12	* ''VideoGame/LikeADragon''
13	** Among Kiryu's adopted children, there is Taichi, his eldest child after Haruka and a stout and hardy kid who enjoys sports and pro wrestling. Over the course of the series, he grows into an athletic and strong young man who becomes a baseball star in high school, then, as an adult, becomes a firefighter to be the kind of person who has the strength to help those in need, just like Uncle Kaz.
14	** Introduced in ''VideoGame/Yakuza4'', we have Taiga Saejima, Goro Majima's sworn brother, a mountain of a man among the Tojo Clan whose fighting style favors raw overwhelming power, and a steadfast ally to Kiryu and company.
15	** ''VideoGame/YakuzaLikeADragon'' has Koichi Adachi, a former police officer before being [[{{Retirony}} unceremoniously fired shortly before retirement]] who joins Ichiban Kasuga's party. As befitting a man of his stout stature and history in a physically-intensive career, he excels as the party's tank, being best suited for such classes as Enforcer.
16	* The ''VideoGame/SlyCooper'' series has Murray; the team's strongman and getaway driver. He was more a burden than anything else in [[VideoGame/SlyCooperAndTheThieviusRaccoonus the first game]], but really came into his own in the [[VideoGame/Sly2BandOfThieves second]] and [[VideoGame/Sly3HonorAmongThieves third]] games, wherein he was shown single-handedly knocking the stuffing out of entire armies of mooks, all while ChewingTheScenery like no one else.
17	** The others even occasionally call him "Big Guy.
18	* Hadrik from ''VideoGame/{{Magium}}'', in virtue of being a giant (who turned into a dwarf to be able to join the tournament) is by far the strongest among the main cast in physical combat.
19	* Mike Haggar is TheBigGuy, for Cody TheHero and Guy TheLancer in VideoGame/FinalFight.
20	** Later games have Maki or Dean fulfill this role, while Mike has been promoted to TheLeader.
21	* Dekao from ''[[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork Rockman.EXE]]'' (known as Dex in the American dub).
22	* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
23	** Since his first appearance in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'', everytime [[SapientSteed Yoshi]] appears as a mount for Mario and his friends, he's also there to eat enemies, to crush those they can't stomp on, and to cross areas which would damage Mario and co. if they walked by themselves.
24	** In ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'' and ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'' (where he's also [[FreudianTrio the Id]]), Bowser ping-pongs between being Class 1 and Class 4 -- he's [[TokenEvilTeammate technically a bad guy]], and he won't hesitate to remind you of this fact, but he mostly just comes off as obnoxious as opposed to downright ''evil.''
25	** His appearence in ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory'' is a solid Class 4, shouting about most everything while boasting stats that are almost double the M-Bros' at a lower level. Though it's understandable because he's by himself out there.
26	* Zangief from ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' borders on this trope but doesn't play it gloriously straight till ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterV SFV]]'''s story mode being a proud Class 4 BoisterousBruiser.
27	** Either Guile or Ken play this in the [[NonSerialMovie movies]], is this due to Zangief not being established as a good guy at the time.
28	** T.Hawk is a Class 2 GentleGiant example.
29	** Actually you can make the argument Ryu despite being usually being TheHero boils down to rule half the time, especially in the ''[=SFV=]'' story mode where he is used as the Trump Card against [[BigBad Bison]].
30	-->'''Chun-Li''': Ryu, go get him.\
31	'''Ryu''' [nods his head].
32	* Double H in ''VideoGame/BeyondGoodAndEvil.'' He's largely a Class 3 --while he acts quite tough, especially when it [[LetsGetDangerous gets down to brass tacks]], he's quite affable and fun-loving beneath it all.
33	* Brick from ''Videogame/{{Borderlands}}'' is this trope to a Class 1 Berserker tee. In the second game, he's more a Class 4.
34	** ''Videogame/{{Borderlands 2}}'' has Salvador and Krieg, who are both Class 4. Both are openly psychotic in their own way, with Krieg in particular being so insane that he seems incapable of talking in anything but nonsense.
35	** In ''Videogame/BorderlandsThePreSequel'', Wilhelm is the largest character of the group (though statistically he's more of a JackOfAllStats with a leaning towards StoneWall) though he's less of a psychotic brute and more of a taciturn mercenary. He eventually becomes TheBrute for Handsome Jack by the time of the second game.
36	* ''VideoGame/FearAndHungerTermina'': Along with being physically imposing, Marcoh is one of the two party members who specializes in physical combat, with his unarmed attack being just as good as most weapons are. As the protagonist, he starts with better base stats, and can learn several skills for combat. And as a recruitable character, he's very much aware of his role, and suggests that the party lets him deal with any enemies.
37	* ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'':
38	** In ''VideoGame/HaloReach'', there's [[TheSquad Noble Team]]'s heavy weapons trooper Jorge-052. As an older Spartan-II, Jorge is the physically largest Spartan in Noble team standing at 7'4, 320 pounds. He's a Type-2, a GentleGiant who is markedly more stable than most of his team-mates and has a wide sentimental streak.
39	** It should be pointed out that, thanks to their bio-modifications (such as skeletal grafts) and their PoweredArmor (those who have it, anyway), ''all'' Spartans can count as this compared to regular humans. It's just that, compared to Elites, Brutes, and Hunters, they're physically average at best.
40	* Gan Isurugi from ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'', who's a card-carrying Class 3. Ditto [[LargeAndInCharge school principal]] Raizo Imawano.
41	* Largo Potter from ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles'' is a Class 4, whose presence becomes even larger whenever vegetables become concerned. And for bonus, he uses an [[{{BFG}} Anti-Tank Lance]].
42	* '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!'''...'s lovely assistant Jennifer in ''VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness'', Taro (subverted as he's a meatshield) in ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 2\|CursedMemories}}'', Mr. Champloo in ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 3\|AbsenceOfJustice}}'', and Red Magnus in ''VideoGame/Disgaea5''. Sapphire has elements of this though she's TheHeart.
43	* [[CoolOldGuy Drachma]] of ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'' is an intelligent variation of this trope.
44	%% * The [[SuperStrength "Power"]] characters from the ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' series all of them being of various types, particularly Knuckles the Echidna.
45	* Jackson “Jax” Briggs from ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' is more often than not a Class 3 Big Guy for Earthrealm since unlike the rest of the Kombatants who use gadgets and special abilities, Jax relies on his [[ArtificialLimb cybernetic arms]] to beat the shit out of his foes.
46	** Jacqui, Jax’s daughter fulfills this role for Cassie’s team in [[VideoGame/MortalKombatX MKX]].
47	** Funnily enough Johnny Cage dips into this role now then as a BoisterousBruiser.
48	** Kenshi was a Class 5 Big Guy for Earthrealm during the invasion of Shinnok.
49	* Kanji from ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' is a textbook Class 3 (JerkWithAHeartOfGold), although like the aforementioned [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Heavy Weapons Guy]] he can and will mutate into a BoisterousBruiser when he gets caught up in the heat of battle. Chie is a CuteBruiser type.
50	* ''Franchise/BaldursGate''
51	** [[CrazyIsCool Minsc]] is a ChaoticGood BoisterousBruiser type. He enjoys watching squirrels play, long walks in the forest, and beating the crap out of villains with a [[{{BFS}} really big sword]].
52	** Karlach, from ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII'', is a female example who checks all the boxes: Barbarian class by default with all of the raw strength that entails, tall and muscular for a tiefling woman, has a hellfire-powered reactor in place of a heart that makes her deadlier still, [[LadySwearsALot potty-mouthed]], and owns a teddy bear named Clive.
53	* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
54	** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyII'': Guy is a massive muscular fellow whose starting stats lean him towards a MightyGlacier axe-wielder. [[BareFistedMonk Josef]] is the Big Guy of the {{Guest Star Party Member}}s.
55	** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'': Sabin definitely qualifies (after all, he [[MemeticMutation suplexed a train]]). Also Umaro, the yeti.
56	** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'': Barret Wallace, ironic considering Barret was the original RebelLeader and Cloud Strife was expected to be this trope for A.V.A.L.A.N.C.H.E until Cloud and Barret swap roles as Barret hates big decision making.
57	*** Tifa Lockhart can easily been seen as the CuteBruiser type being more martial arts inclined than the rest of the team.
58	** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'': Zell and Selphie both fit this role, while also both occasionally becoming TheSmartGuy, for different reasons. Zell is the muscled brawler and Selphie is the best with weaponry and explosives.
59	** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'': Steiner is the hardest-hitting member of the party in pure power, and wields large swords. He views his role within the party as "Garnet's protector" and wears the heaviest armor as part of this. Freya can be this if she's not being TheLancer, and Amarant becomes this as well.
60	** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'': Big, burly, quiet Kimahri is a [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Ronso]]; he holds off Seymour Natus on the Bevelle Highbridge while Yuna and co. escape.
61	*** Auron. Tall, quiet, undeniably badass and whose natural stat growth has the most strength boosts out of all of them. He wields a sword bigger than himself and doesn't flinch when Behemoths are staring him down.
62	** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'': Fran. Obviously the most noticeable, being a [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Viera]], and thus having bunny ears, tends to go on [[TheBerserker berserker rages]], and also literally as she towers over the rest of the party (even without the ears). In regular combat, Basch serves as the big guy, having the highest strength until Vaan catches up at extremely high levels, as well as the highest HP. Having the lowest vitality ironically makes him the best [[StoneWall tank]] when combined with his high HP. Personality-wise, he's more or less the "gentle giant you don't want to push too far."
63	** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'': Snow Villiers is the tallest human player character yet, with an inch on Barret Wallace. Snow is primarily a brawler and a StoneWall in gameplay, and not the sharpest tool in the shed.
64	*** Though Fang also counts. Like Snow, one of her two main paradigm skills is Sentinel. She's also a bit of a BloodKnight.
65	** Gladiolus Amicitia fills this spot in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV''. [[MetaGuy Prompto]] even refers to him as "big guy."
66	* Zaalbar and Hanharr from the ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' series. Zaalbar is a quiet, shy fellow who lets Mission do the talking. (She even describes him as a [[GentleGiant "Big ol' softie"]]) Definitely a Class 2; piss him off (or threaten Mission), and he will carve you up. Hanharr is recruit-able only by Dark Side Exiles, and is an AxCrazy OmnicidalManiac who you ''gain'' influence with by ridiculing - definitely Class 1. Both of them are utter damage sponges, especially if you equip them with vibroblades.
67	** Canderous straddles class 4 and 5. Yes, he is a ProudWarriorRaceGuy and ''lives'' for a good fight, [[BoisterousBruiser cheerfully shouting things like "DIE!" and "This is gonna be fun!" when mowing through legions of Sith assassins]]. However, he is anything but dumb, and KOTOR 2 shows that he's gone on to lead his people as Mandalore the Preserver.
68	* Also by Bioware is ''VideoGame/JadeEmpire'' with Black Whirlwind. He is an unrepentant Class 4 who just shrugs with a "Meh" whenever he's told his most recent story is the dumbest thing ever told. While an effective fighter, he is far more memorable for his many colorful and incredibly violent stories.
69	** You actually get to control him at one point to hold off an army.
70	* Each different [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience colour]] of ''VideoGame/{{Pikmin}}'' have different attributes in terms of strengths and weakness. The purple ones, being ten times as strong and heavy as those of any other colour, quite clearly slot into 'Big Guy' status.
71	* Eddie Riggs from ''VideoGame/BrutalLegend'' could be Class 5. A big guy, who is smart enough to put together cars in seconds (albeit easily made cars) and supposedly able to fix anything, and build anything. In many ways he fulfills the roles of The Big Guy, The Smart Guy and The Lancer, seeing himself mostly as the Roadie to Lars' front-man.
72	* The ''VideoGame/BreathOfFire'' series include one of these among the chosen heroes: Ox in [[VideoGame/BreathOfFireI I]], Rand in [[VideoGame/BreathOfFireII II]], Garr in [[VideoGame/BreathOfFireIII III]] and Cray in [[VideoGame/BreathOfFireIV IV]].
73	* Bentley the yeti from the third ''[[VideoGame/SpyroYearOfTheDragon Spyro the Dragon]]'' game is a perfect Class V, charging into battle with his ice club swinging while yelling things like "[[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness Why, you brazenly avaricious,]] [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments duplicitous, larcenous ursine!]]"
74	* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Sten]] serves as a Class 3, being a solid stoic who nonetheless has a definite soft side (enjoys art, kittens and has a SweetTooth). Oghren is a Class 4, a seemingly perpetually drunken BoisterousBruiser. Shale is a cross between a Class 4 and Class 1, [[SamusIsAGirl she]] lives only to crush her enemies' heads and watch the blood fountain. And to destroy all pigeons.
75	** In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', Fenris takes this role despite being a scrawny elf. A scrawny elf that has [[AppliedPhlebotinum Lyrium]] laced through his entire body and specializes in {{BFS}}es, that is. Whether he proves to be a Class 3 or a Class 1 mostly depends on whether [[PlayerCharacter Hawke]] pursues a friendship or a rivalry with him.
76	** Aveline also fills this role, being the heavily armoured, sword and board guardswoman who acts as the protector and tank of the group. She is likely a Class 3, because she talks tough, but is also the TeamMom.
77	** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' has the Iron Bull, who is explicitly called "The Muscle" in promo material. He's a heavily scarred Qunari mercenary, but he's really a BoisterousBruiser whose priorities are protecting the innocent and having fun. Cassandra may also qualify, as she's a sword-and-board type whose ShieldBash can act as a battering ram. Completing the trifecta of warriors, Blackwall is another sword-and-board type who's [[StoneWall damn near impossible to kill]].
78	* ''Franchise/MassEffect'':
79	** [[VideoGame/MassEffect1 The first game]] has Ashley (a hotheaded, protective ActionGirl who specializes in damage output) and Wrex (a ProudWarriorRaceGuy who combines shotgun skills with [[GravityMaster biotic powers]].)
80	** In the [[VideoGame/MassEffect2 sequel]], there's the Tank-Grown krogan Grunt, the ruthless mercenary Zaeed, and the ([[GameplayAndStorySegregation officially]]) [[http://www.sideshowtoy.com/collectibles/mass-effect-legion-threezero-902462/ 6'6]] Legion, with Jack serving as a DarkActionGirl example.
81	** If Wrex survives, when you find him in in the sequel, he's on the way to re-uniting his people, a feat no one would ever believe possible. Not only re-uniting, but doing so in a way which itself should be impossible from what we've heard of the krogan race - he's taken the ever-so-important krogan traditions that have been around for longer than the human race has been civilized, beaten them until they can't stand. At least if you believe his opponents and detractors. Those very same Krogan traditions would enthusiastically agree with that approach. Beating things senseless is what the Krogan are there for.
82	** ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' has James Vega: he's easily the beefiest human character thus far, and is built more around survivability than other characters. There's a reason he shares two of his powers with Grunt. Whenever you find him in the ''Normandy'''s shuttle bay, he's usually shown to be doing pull-ups in his down time.
83	* Sophie in ''VideoGame/TalesOfGraces'', a RareFemaleExample. Even though she is [[TokenMiniMoe small]], she has the personality and [[BadassAdorable fighting]] [[LightningBruiser capabilities]].
84	* ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' has a few over the course of the game. [[TheStoic Kratos]] is this to start with; after he leaves the party, the role is taken over by CuteBruiser [[EmotionlessGirl Presea]], later joined by [[TheAtoner Regal]], who is a rather more classic example, as well as the Huge Guy of their HugeGuyTinyGirl dynamic.
85	* Judith counts as a female example, ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'', being a {{Stripperific}} BloodKnight. Karol also counts, despite being a little kid, because he wields a huge (compared to him) two-handed weapon.
86	* ''[[VideoGame/BitTrip BIT.TRIP RUNNER]]'' gives us Radbot, [=CommanderVideo=]'s RobotBuddy.
87	* Sweetwater in ''VideoGame/BattlefieldBadCompany'' is a Class 5 GeniusBruiser/Smart Guy and a rare "not larger than the others" version. As the squad's SAW gunner, he ''does'' carry a larger weapon, and he's not afraid to use it. When a Russian soldier surprises him by running up to the roof just as the squad is hopping off their Blackhawk and onto it, Sweetwater, without breaking stride, hits the poor bastard clear off the roof with his SAW.
88	* Tychus Findlay fills this role in ''VideoGame/StarcraftII''. Even without his enormous PowerArmor, [[TwentyFourHourArmor which he's]] [[ClingyCostume always wearing]], he's a physically imposing guy, and comes complete with a deep but easy on the ears voice. [[spoiler: Too bad he experiences a case of BigGuyFatalitySyndrome...]]
89	* Bud Bison (Gonta Ushijima) in ''VideoGame/MegaManStarForce''.
90	* ''VideoGame/FearEffect''. Jacob "Deke" [=DeCourt=] is big and powerful.
91	* Seth fills this role in ''VideoGame/LostOdyssey''. As well as being TheLancer to Kaim, she is also the toughest melee fighter other than him.
92	* Argo is a Class Two in ''VideoGame/MagnaCarta2''. He's very level-headed and kind.
93	* Barry Burton for Alpha Team in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'', he wields the [[HandCannon Colt Python]] and Jill relies on him to pull her from trap rooms and blow zombies into smithereens. Barry is also quite the PapaWolf making him a Class 2 GentleGiant and mentor figure for Chris and Claire Redfield.
94	** Speaking of which Chris Redfield manages to surpass Barry in sheer [[HeroicBuild bulk]] and actually becomes this trope in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6'' being the burliest and most grizzled member of the cast (even more so than Wesker's son Jake). Also despite Chris usually being the [[TheHero main hero]], it's Leon S. Kennedy who defeats the BigBad while Chris relegated to fighting other threats in [=RE6=].
95	** Parker Luciani from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations'' is a very hot blooded Class 1 type Big Guy, Tsukasa Takenaka states he was even based on Barry.
96	* Augustus Cole is the team's big guy in Gears of War.
97	* Hannah/Hammer in Fable 2 is a Giantess type.
98	* Terence from ''VideoGame/AngryBirds'' is a much larger version of Red, complete with a lack of special abilities. He debuted within a set of Remix levels designed around his added durability.
99	** GeniusBruiser Bomb and GenkiGirl Poppy are runners up to this trope.
100	* Walter in the ''VideoGame/MentalSeries'' is larger than the other two characters, and as such can do things the others can't, such as pushing obstacles out of the way and lifting heavy objects.
101	* Rhino from ''Videogame/WarFrame''. He is the heaviest Warframe and stands taller than any other frame except [[StatuesqueStunner Saryn]], and his Primed variant features some serious ShouldersOfDoom. He is built to fill the tank role in the group, both via his CC abilities and his enormous armor, health, and shield reserves. Aforementioned traits also allow him to use the heaviest weapons in the game without fear of making himself an easy target, since he can easily soak up the gunfire while dishing out immense damage in return.
102	* In ''VideoGame/LufiaAndTheFortressOfDoom'', Aguro's easily the largest (and only adult; [[OurElvesAreDifferent Jerin]] is arguable) member of the party and the party's token BadassNormal.
103	** Dekar in ''VideoGame/LufiaIIRiseOfTheSinistrals'' has the greatest might of any party member, even if [[IdiotHero he is lacking in the brains department]]. While Guy gets boosted to the team's obvious Big Guy in [[VideoGame/LufiaCurseOfTheSinistrals the remake]], Dekar's still got appreciable bulk.
104	** Bau in ''VideoGame/LufiaTheRuinsOfLore'' is a half-monster man who can haul the biggest weapons in the party. While he's a GlassCannon, the party's other Big Guy, [[spoiler:Dekar]], leans towards StoneWall.
105	* ''VideoGame/ThreeTheHardWay'' has Anderson, a very powerful pit fighting champion who wields heavy weapons like axes or maces. He has the highest HP, attack and defences among all the party members, but is also the only main character that does not have a Mana meter.
106	* ''VideoGame/CharlieMurder'' has Rex the drummer, whose unique skill involves picking up and throwing large objects like arcade cabinets. A unique spell of his makes him even ''bigger''.
107	* ''VideoGame/FightingForce'' has Ben "Smasher" Jackson whose attacks do the most damage, though his character is the slowest moving of the four.
108	* ''VideoGame/FarnhamFables'': Prince Fredrick Flewdor is the physically strongest and most combat-oriented of the three princes of Farnham. In Episode 1, his unique item is his sword, and he's the one who defeats the rampaging boar.
109	* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIV'': In the fourth chapter, Meena and Maya, two spellcasting sisters, are supported by their family's servant Oojam. In the NES version, Oojam opens doors through sheer brute force and serves as the pure physical fighter that the sisters lack. Still visible in the remakes, although not quite so much as he now lock picks doors instead of breaking them.
110	* [[KickChick Katsuragi]] in the [[VideoGame/SenranKagura Senran Kagura series]] serves as this to the Hanzo Team.
111	* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'':
112	** Knuckles the Echidna serves this role for Team Sonic with his SuperStrength and martial arts skills.
113	** ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes'' introduces the Power Type which is granted to characters with super strength. These characters are responsible for taking on foes their teammates cannot damage and breaking through obstacles. The Power Types in this game are Knuckles (Team Sonic), Omega (Team Dark), Big (Team Rose) and Vector (Team Chaotix).
114	* While she doesn't look it, Atari from ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyoQuest'' is physically a tank, what with her being able to keep up with the likes of Raffina in terms of endurance and strong enough to single-handedly wrestle down her co-worker Roquier (a grown man a head taller than herself).
115	-->'''Suketoudara:''' I wasn’t told that that lady was a regular Hercules! ''Lemme off this wild ride!!''
