The Great White Hope

Samurai Shodown is mostly known for its swordsmen, but Mina Majikina marches to the beat of her own drum. She was specifically designed to stand out from other characters in the series, and SNK went out of their way to make her clothing, fighting style, and weaponry unique. The tanned beauty wasn’t introduced until Samurai Shodown V, but she was the first archer in the series and treated as the heroine of the game. Mina was blessed with powerful spiritual energy from birth and raised as a goddess, but her powers were feared by many and she became an outcast as a result. (Perhaps that’s why she uses a long range weapon in the first place.) Mina is closed off from the world, but her wraparound skirt is anything but. Any fight that she’s involved in is sure to produce ample panty shots.

Fran is a member of an all-female rabbit-like race called the Viera that has close ties with nature. Viera typically begin their lives in the forest and are bound to remain there for their entire lives, but Fran’s desire to see the outside world motivated her to leave her secluded village. Fran is a master of weapons, an expert mechanic, and a seasoned hunter who typically fights from afar with an assortment of arrows. It might seem like I’m venturing into furry territory by mentioning her on this list, so it should be noted that she looks exactly like a normal human aside from her rabbit ears. Besides, I kind of like how her ears make her look like a Playboy Bunny. I’m also fond of her lingerie-esque outfits. Regardless of how you feel about her bunny ears, it would be hard to deny that Fran has nice legs and a great ass.

Sega hired a well-known hentai artist named RAITA to work on Valkyria Chronicles, and characters like Selvaria Bles were the inevitable result of their collaboration. If breast size was the only contributing factor for this countdown, we’d have to set aside the top six or seven spots just for her! Selvaria is a Brigadier General who possesses the ancient power of the Valkyria. She’s the deadliest soldier in the Imperial Army, and she can wipe out entire squads of soldiers with a single beam from her lance. She was subjected to unethical experiments as a child, but she managed to hold on to her humanity. (The only kind of monster she turned into was a titty monster, amirite?) She struggles to find meaning in life, but I’m sure she’d understand her true purpose if she realized how many anime figures that would be made in her image.

Although her castmates all have extendable arms that allow them to fight from a distance, Twintelle somehow boxes with her hair instead. I don’t fully understand the logistics, but this eccentricity allows her to strut around arenas with her hands on her hips. She’s a legitimate movie star with a glamourous lifestyle, so she treats prize fights like glorified red carpet affairs. Her walking animation is hypnotic, and the pronounced sway is almost comical due to the sheer size of her ass. She knows exactly what she’s doing, of course, and I fully endorse her decision to fight in leather pants and high heel shoes. (For a family-friendly company, Nintendo sure has a knack for designing sexy characters.) Twintelle is a bit of a diva, but the queen of the silver screen deserves the attention she receives.

Cia is a powerful sorceress who wages war over Hyrule after being corrupted by darkness. She was a virtuous spell-caster with a harmless crush on the Hero of Legend, but her unrequited love eventually devolved into an outright obsession. Her extreme jealousy pushed her to the brink of war, but all of her bitterness could be nullified by a good old fashioned dicking. (She’s caught up on the one guy who’s destined to be with another, so I’d happily take one for the team.) Her extreme clinginess is not a good look, she acts like a total bitch, and her stupid mask makes her look like a plague doctor. She has other attributes that warrant her placement on this list, however. Her swiggly hips are remarkably seductive, for example, and she has a great set of tits. If her outfits were any more revealing, they’d jeopardize the game’s age rating.

Street Fighter II revolutionized the gaming industry, but its long-awaited sequel was unable to captivate fans in the same way. As such, none of the characters introduced in Street Fighter III reached the same levels of notoriety as their predecessors. Elena is an notable example of a character who deserved more recognition. She was the first African representative in the Street Fighter series, and she’s still the only black woman on the roster! The warrior princess also had a unique dance-inspire fighting style, and I was mesmerized by the rhythm of her body. I was also impressed by how creative she was with her long legs, and she even used them to throw her opponents. Elena is stunningly beautiful, remarkably flexible, and easily the most cheerful girl on this list. Her fashion sense is on point, too.

Angel has a playful personality and could accurately be described as a ditz, but she’s also a deadly fighter who used to work for a secret crime syndicate. Her body was even enhanced to give her superhuman abilities, though I can’t help but wonder if she was enhanced in other ways as well. After all, she has the largest bust measurement of any King of Fighters participant. Fortunately, she’s always willing to show her cleavage off by unzipping her jacket or by leaning over in a seductive manner. She loves to use her body to tease others, and she taunts her opponents in battle by asking if she makes them hard. (It’s obviously a rhetorical question.) When she’s not conducting international espionage, Angel rides motorbikes, drinks tequila, and flirts with anything that moves. In other words, she seems like she’d be a lot of fun.

Zhurong is an aggressive warrior with an assertive personality. She arms herself with giant boomerangs and describes herself as the Goddess of Fire, but it’s her immeasurable beauty that helps turn the tides of war. Incidentally, she uses her feminine charms to coerce her husband into action against rival kingdoms. This isn’t to say that she’s a bully, however. She bases her decisions on what’s best for others, and she’s fortunate enough to be able to inspire passion in the people who surround her. I’d happily fight my neighbors if it meant I could get into Zhurong’s pants loincloth. Whether she’s setting her enemies ablaze or seducing her husband, few characters in Dynasty Warriors get as hot as Zhurong. She’s the most exotic woman in the entire series by far, and I love the way her white hair contrasts her dark skin.

Ivy Valentine’s eligibility for this countdown is sure to be a contentious topic since her hair color changes from one game to the next. Her hair sometimes has a purple hue, but she sports silver locks in most of her appearances. Either way, it would be a shame if she was overlooked. If she’s willing to walk around with her ass exposed, she deserves a mention on this list. Her slutty dominatrix outfits can’t be comfortable, and some of them barely manage to contain her massive breasts. You’d never guess by looking at her, but Ivy has chosen a life of celibacy. Incidentally, her father was a real jerk, so she doesn’t want to risk inflicting a child with a cursed bloodline. Birth control wasn’t really a thing in the 1500s, so I understand her dilemma. If she was so inclined, Ivy could still do butt stuff and keep her v-card on a technicality.

The story of NieR:Automata revolves around a proxy war between alien machines and human-built androids. The lovely YoRHa No.2 Type B (or simply, 2B) is one of the all-purpose droids that’s tasked with fending off the alien menace. Even though she’s an instrument of war, 2B has the grace of a runway model and all the moves of a stripper. While human soldiers are usually weighed down by military fatigues and heavy combat boots, 2B steps into battle with stiletto heels, thigh-high stockings, and a dangerously short skirt. Her acrobatic fighting style makes her prone to panty shots, and this made her the darling of the Rule 34 community. After the game’s creator actively encouraged the lewd fanart, 2B’s ass became the most memed backside of 2017. 2B has also inspired a lot of really fantastic cosplay, and the world is a better place because of it.
