Johnny Cage has been a Mortal Kombat character since the original 1992 game, and Mortal Kombat X, released in 2015, continued his role as the cocky Hollywood martial artist. His exaggerated scream from that game became a handy reaction sound once gameplay clips and edits began circulating online, where its theatrical panic stood out from more realistic fighting-game effects. Creators still reach for it because it is short, instantly readable as comic fear, and fits defeats, jumpscares and failed stunts without needing any context from the match itself.
