I used to play FPS games at my library a whole lot, since that library had a teen center that we could play Battlefield 2 at. It was in a section that people could talk without having to worry about the quiet rules of a library. When we played Battlefield 2, you can set what the game calls each other. I was also one of the few people who understood how the team needs support and such, so I was team leader. I named myself Mumsy and the other person on my team was usually either Hobo or Tiny. If any of us died, you could hear it in the main hallway.
"MUUUUUUUMSYYYYY!!!!!"
"HOOOOOOOBOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
"TIIIIIIIIIIIIINYYYYYYYY!!!!!"
I also called myself Jumpin' Jahosaphat. I'd jump down from above and scare the people. They would shout:
"Jumpin' Jahosaphat!"

Xanth: Look at my hand (steady as a rock). But I SHOOT with this one (left hand shuddering)
Also: It's a SWEATER!
Haladir: in the 90's my buddies and I came up with a marvel game where we played ourselves as mutant teens with powers; sort of the Chicago New Mutants. We called ourselves JUSTICE. Our catch phrase was:
When you think of crime...think of JUSTICE!
After that campaign wrapped I had 2 more marvel campaigns, all in Chicago. One was VIGILANCE, the other was PENNANCE. Each game got progressively darker, just as the heroes in our comics got darker. Coincidence?

My character ("Cat-Man") was the leader of H.E.R.O. Squad -- and I still crack a smile when I remember how we used our battle cry...
I would raise my fist, say, "HERO Squad!..." [pause] and then the rest of the players and I would point at the GM and shout in unison, "Get 'em!!"
That was the Ghost Busters first battle cry, wasn't it? lol

At Xanth: I get 1/2 for 1/2 the movies? I think you should go back to both and re-watch:
My first quote about the shaking hand? Jail scene w/Gene Wilder buddy
My second one? El Guapo receives a gift from his men in 3 amigos. Do you remember what it was? "It's a SWEATER!"
I nailed 'em sir; credit where its due.
Oh, and here's another battle cry for you
Now I break you, like I break your friend (gestures to bandanna around knee)
GUESS IT X!

Oh, there was no doubt you nailed 'em! You get full points x 2 for answering quotes with quotes. I was referring to Fallen Mage.

"la Machiiiiiine!!!"
Was shouted by the other members of my party as my character sliced and diced stuff with his scimitars dual wielding. He rarely ever missed both attacks, to the point of when he did, the DM would write it down on the campaign calendar. This was 2nd Ed AD&D.
It was simply because one of the other players said something to the effect of "...Jesus, Kryzbyn is like a f**king cuisinart!" (mini-food processor) after consistenly dropping 2 foes a round for the first few rounds of combat. Another player called him 'la Machine', another reference to blades whirling...and it became the party battle cry.

Instant death, no bleeding.
In the ancient days of 1e there was a Dragon mag article that suggested potential critical effects. They were all pretty ludicrous but my favorite became this battle cry.
Elf fires 2 arrows at a charging ogre; one miss on natural 20. We consult the random table: instant death, no bleeding. The same elf, MIRACULOUSLY went on to score the same crit result again then, on another random Dragon table got the most bizarre shot in the world.
There was a table for determining what it looked like when the enemy actually died, but there was no designation for what kind of weapon caused which reaction. He gets a kill, chart is consulted, result:
Enemy's head is decapitated, the head rolling up to the foot of the killer, where it mutters "Why?" before dying.
The kill shot came from a bow fired an impressive 80 feet. So...
Elf kills the Ogre. Elf and party storm into the courtyard where he slays many orcs, one of them his second instant death, no bleeding. He then targets one on the parapet high above and far off that is running to dump some flaming oil; kill shot decapitates and the orc's forward momentum is so great the spiralling head sails over the battlements, bounces off a lower roof and a canopy, rolls across the bailey, utters it's "why?" and breathes its last.
After we stopped crying laughing so hard we began using the Instant Death, No Bleeding battle cry.

Son of a B**** must pay!

Y'know what Ol' Jack Burton says at a time like this?
It's all in the reflexes

Alright: sit tight, keep the home fires burning and if we're not back by dawn; call the president.
This is going to take CRACKERJACK timing Wang

Sounds like big trouble Mark.
I hope ya got air bags!
I didn't hear no fat lady!
Come on! Kill me!
If it bleeds, we can kill it.
Head for the Choppa!
Remember when I said I would kill you last?
All of these were spoken by players in various campaigns over the years, but not all in fantasy. Some were in James Bond by Victory Games.

I had a Skarn Barbarian pulling this in my Savage Tide game. She never really had a battlecry though.

Eyup. This is the same character who got disarmed by a crit fumble card, then in the immediate next round punched the heads off the

NWN had a ton of battle cries. Two I remember well are:
"Blood makes the grass grow!"
"Die, Die and be forgotten!"
There was even a creepy male voice one that said:
"Your end draws nigh."
An anime themed one I had some fun with was based on the paladin like girl from Slayers. She would go on and on about righteousness and such while attacking monsters... it WAS a good way to "draw Aggro" to borrow a MMO term. Since many monster got tired of that real quick and just wanted to shut me up.

Had a warmage that cast a lightning bolt down a orc filled hallway, rolled all 6's all the orcs failed their saves... Just after the results, one of the other players yelled "KAMEHAMEHA!!"
Isn't that the Gelfling call of animal freedom? No...that's "Kamaleah!" You're talking about the Hawaian monarchy...
