Kitana first appeared in Mortal Kombat II in 1993 and became one of the series' most recognisable fighters, known for her steel fans and Edenian princess backstory. This scream comes from Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance, the fifth main fighting game released in 2002. Short character vocalisations like this were later ripped and shared on soundboards and in video edits, separate from full matches. Its mix of nostalgia and melodrama keeps it popular with fighting game fans long after release.
