Liu Kang is a long-running Mortal Kombat fighter, and Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, released in 2006, brought together almost every character from the series for one large tournament. Clips of his in-game voice lines, including this crashing scream, have been ripped and shared on soundboards for use in gaming edits and reaction content. Its appeal is the unmistakable Mortal Kombat voice combined with a sudden, exaggerated fall, which makes it instantly recognisable to fighting-game fans even without any visuals.
