Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, released in arcades in 1995 as an expanded version of Mortal Kombat 3, kept Sub-Zero as one of its most recognisable fighters, known for his ice-based attacks and blue ninja design. Short arcade effects like this one were later ripped and shared by fans on soundboards, where they became handy shorthand for cold, freezing and sudden stops in edits. Its brevity and instant recognition keep it useful for retro gaming videos, fighting game tributes and meme clips today.
