Your Most Satisfying Hit-Notifier

[TundraStalax]

the wooden 'klonk' that emerges from ness's bat in brawl, I love it so much.
also, the sound that plays when you gat a critical in Mother 2

Killing floor has this sound that will always accompany a succesfull headshot, together with the bang of the gun there's this smack. Quite short and snappy. I don't really know why but its incredibly satisfying

WOW you read my mind I was like WHY HAS NO ONE SAID THIS YET?

Jesus the headshots were so freakin' satisfying. A delightful splat no matter what weapon you use!

I remember in Def Jam: Fight for NY, whenever you scored a hit with a Haymaker, Heavy Grapple move, Flying Attack, or Blazin' move, it made this intensely satisfying crunchy noise that I knew (even at the tender age of 13) no human body could ever make, but that to this day makes me think "Ooh, that just HAS to hurt."

I've always really liked the sound that Chrono's Katana makes when he gets a critical hit in Chrono Trigger. Kind of a ragged tearing sound as the first hit hammers through the defenses followed by the iconic high-pitched "schwing" as the reverse stroke severs arteries and tendons, spraying lifeblood into the air and spattering the ground with gore.

That and the nice heavy "THOK!" sound of the club-type weapons in Dibalo II are probably my favorites.

The sound of successfully backstabbing an enemy you have been watching for the past 5 minutes, and dominating them at the same time in TF2... I need a new pair of pants after this happens.

A mod for TF2 makes the hit sounds into Justin Beiber saying "ow!"
Its beautiful. http://www.fpsbanana.com/sounds/14624

I don't know if it counts, but the little chain of +3's that pop up when I use the blutsauger is very satisfying.

does It's super effective(ala Pokemon Stadium) count?

A Fallout 3 VATS fatality.

 

[BioHazardMan]

Definitely the "clank" sound of getting a head-shot in a COD game. Then the hidden assassination in Assassin's Creed.

 

[Techno Destructo]

The Wilhelm Scream in Red Dead Redemption that occasionally shows up after you shoot a person.

 

[LittleChone]

Every form of head explosion in the Fallout series.

TF2 because you can choose your own xD

But in all honesty, Quake 3 Arena/Quake Live had the best, IMO.

ive recently become a fan of the sound when you jump kick someone in dead rising 2; its got a very satisfying 'boot to the face' feel to it. and for either dead rising game, the quite hilariously sloshy sound that plays to accompany the hilariously copious blood fountains that spurt when you...well, do anything at all to a zombie. theyre freaking made of cherry kool-aid, i swear.

the sniper sound in mass effect was great...the sniper in dead rising 2 is also really satisfying...

god damnit that game has great sound effects.

My favorite has to be the champagne cork, little children screaming yay, and confetti of the Halo 3 and Halo reach grunt B-day party skull

That crit "ping!" that you got from any crit shot you got in TF2. For lighter classes it pretty much meant a guaranteed kill, for the stronger ones, it meant they were either going to run or do something suicidal.

What's even more wonderful is when you get a crit that hits multiple targets, just the sound of them playing on top of each other, perhaps followed up by the domination fanfare. It's rewarding in its own way, totally disregarding score, just because it's like winning the bullet lottery.
