About this sound

Short fighting sound effect from Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 featuring Ermac and Jax, used for punch hits, retro game edits and arcade style memes.

This is a very brief combat sound from Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, lasting less than half a second and tied to Ermac and Jax in fan sound rips. It has that sharp, compressed 16-bit arcade quality, with a hard hitting impact that cuts off almost as soon as it starts. There is no buildup, just an instant hit that lands right on the action. That suddenness makes it feel nostalgic for fighting game fans and funny out of context, because the dramatic arcade hit plays over footage that is often far less serious.

Pro tip

Place it exactly on the frame of contact for a punch, slap or object drop, and do not stretch it. Pair it with a quick zoom or screen shake, and keep other audio low because this 0.4 second hit gets buried easily.

How people use it

Drop it on fake punches in retro fighting game edits
Use it for arcade style hits in short meme videos
Add it to gaming montages when a character lands a blow
Play it as a soundboard button during Mortal Kombat streams

More information

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 was released in arcades in 1995 by Midway as an expanded version of Mortal Kombat 3. Ermac, the red telekinetic ninja, and Jax, the Special Forces officer with metal arms, were both playable fighters in that roster. Short hit effects from the arcade and home ports were later ripped and shared on soundboards and in fan videos. This clip survives because the compressed arcade audio is instantly recognisable to 90s fighting game fans and works as a retro punch effect in modern edits.
