Death Cry Echo: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

When a character is defeated/killed in battle, he usually gives out a final cry or something to indicate that he's a goner. Sometimes, a character's death cry is repeated like an echo, each growing softer than the last. This is done to intensify the death of a character (or it may simply [[Narm|overdramatize]] it).

 

Some examples that are only nominally "death cries" can be found in [[Looks Like She Is Enjoying It|a few]] [[Orgasmic Combat|other places]].

 

* One chilling example is when you die in the ''[[Metroid Prime]]'' series. Samus cries out and the echo<ref>(actually more like a reverb)</ref> happens as the screen turns to static.

** Both ''Super [[Metroid]]'' and ''Metroid Fusion'' share the same sound effect - a slightly echoed scream - and the same graphic effect of Samus' suit falling off and Samus dying.
