Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance was released in 2002 as the fifth main entry in the Mortal Kombat series, bringing the fighter Jax Briggs and his cybernetic arms back in full 3D arenas. Like other fighters in the game, Jax had a distinct set of grunts, hits and death screams recorded for combat. This particular scream became a favorite on soundboards because it is longer and more dramatic than a normal hit reaction, making it easy to reuse outside the game for memes, parodies and fan edits.
