Final Fight is Capcom's side-scrolling beat 'em up, first released in arcades in 1989, and its short female scream has circulated online as a standalone game sound effect. Clips like this are usually ripped from gameplay and shared on soundboards for use in edits, streams and memes, where a single startling cry can sell a hit, a scare or a sudden defeat. Like the FNAF jumpscare scream, it survives because it is instantly recognisable as panic, needs no context, and works in just over a second.
