Super Smash Bros is Nintendo's long-running crossover fighting series, built around fast, cartoonish battles between characters from across its games. Impact sounds are central to that feel, giving every punch, kick and smash a clear sense of weight. Short clips of those hits have long circulated among players and editors, who reuse them outside matches to punctuate jokes, victories and fails. Because the sound is brief, clean and immediately associated with a landed blow, it remains a handy shorthand for impact in gaming montages, memes and reaction videos.
