Gekko is an agent from Riot Games' tactical shooter VALORANT, and his ultimate ability is called Thrash. Sounds connected to agent ultimates spread quickly in short-form edits because players instantly recognize them and associate them with turning points in a round. The Gekko ultimate sound is still used in montages, meme clips and ranked highlights because it communicates pressure, surprise and a likely fight in just a couple of seconds, even to viewers who only casually follow the game.
