Vehelits comes from Streets of Rage 2, the Sega beat-em-up released in 1992 for the Mega Drive and Genesis, a sequel that became one of the defining side-scrolling brawlers of its era. Short clips from the game have long circulated on soundboards, where players and editors reuse them to add instant retro recognition to videos and streams. Because the sound is only about two seconds long, it is easy to drop into edits without breaking pace, and its arcade roots keep it popular with fans of classic gaming and nostalgic meme edits.
