Killer Instinct began as a 1994 arcade fighting game from Rare, and the series returned in 2013 as an Xbox One launch title. In every version the announcer names each combo rank, with Ultra Combo reserved for the long finishing sequence that ends a match while the music keeps playing. Clips of that shout spread through fighting game streams and combo videos, where it became shorthand for a flawless, extended finish that leaves the opponent no chance to recover.

The Killer Instinct announcer shouting Ultra Combo from the Xbox One fighting game, used for finishing moves, wins and over the top victories.
This is the booming announcer call from Killer Instinct, stretched out on the word Ultra after a massive combo finish. The voice is deep, distorted and echoing, rising with stadium sized reverb that makes a normal hit feel like a final blow. It lasts only a few seconds but fills the whole mix, turning the end of a fight into a spectacle. Viewers instantly read it as total domination rather than a close win, which is why it lands so well as a punchline for any overwhelming victory or one sided beatdown in a video.
