* Yelling when striking serves a number of different purposes, from the physiological (yelling firms up the core muscles, increases blood flow, and helps to keep you from getting the breath knocking out of you) to psychological (yelling focuses your attention on the moment of the attack and may startle the opponent). The timbre of the yell makes little difference for most purposes. Yelling while warming up can serve many of the same purposes, including intimidation, increased blood flow, and increased focus.

** Raiden also fits this trope. He became notorious for yelling randomly while performing his Torpedo move in MKII. Fans originally believed that he was yelling Japanese phrases. Interestingly, others thought that he was actually speaking English, and thus Raiden's phrases were misinterpreted as "Get back in the car!", "Gimme ma money!", "Freddy bought a car!" or even "Your mother's from L.A.!" Midway eventually revealed that Raiden was just screaming gibberish noises, and not actual words of any language.

* Anyone who's ever taught a martial arts class to small kids knows they do this. They usually sound more like Michael Jackson than Bruce Lee and fall about laughing if you point this out.
** Depending on the personal style (and possibly martial-arts style) of the teacher, you're actually supposed to do this, just not nearly so exaggerated. In competitive martial arts shouting when you attack counts for points (or at least points out that they're supposed to be looking for a scoring hit rather than a feint), in defensive martial arts it's a focus thing to add a little extra aggression to the attack.
*** Ehh, there is a very big difference between an actual kiai or kihap (ie shouting 'ha!' or 'yaa!' or 'suh!' or any other kind of truncated yell/grunt to focus your power) and a Funny Bruce Lee Noise (going 'wooooahhhhhhahahhaha' whilst waving one's arms around at random). Plus the above is oversimplified; 'defensive' martial arts are not particularly more inclined to use the power-focus-kiai, and 'competitive martial arts' is a wayyy broad term. I'm pretty sure shouting in an Olympic taekwondo match, for example, gains you nothing (Funny Bruce Lee Noises less so... I guess you might ''amuse'' your opponent into submission).

* Theo, the Blue Ranger in ''PowerRangersJungleFury'', tended to make nonstop Bruce Lee noises during battle, notable in a series where most of the Rangers actually practiced Chinese-based martial arts and none of the rest felt the need to do that.
** That very same year, the teamup movie between ''{{Engine Sentai Go-onger}}'' and ''JukenSentaiGekiranger'' had a minor starting enemy named Nunchaku Banki who made these noises ''at all times''. Regardless of whether he was attacking, jumping, getting hit, or painfully getting knocked across the battlefield by exceptionally powerful attacks, he still made these noises. It's possible this may have been a TakeThat against the above, but we'll probably never know.
