Concerning the whole "shouting my fighting skills" thing, I think, unless the fight moves names are really lame, I think this whole stereotype adds nice bit of entertainment in those fight scenes. Most of the time, when this is done, the fight is not meant to be realistic, it's meant to make the audience laugh or cheer.
For example, a move like, "Super special awesome punch of meanness!" doesn't really get many people interested and sometimes drives away viewers. This is a bad use of the stereotype.
But then there's something like, "Rider kick!" (I know, not an anime, but it's a good example) that can get a lot of people hyped up and excited. This would be a good use.
I will repeat my statement again. Anime wouldn't be anime without the stereotypes. Besides, if we ditch these old stereotypes and find something new, they will become stereotypes as well. D:
Long story short, stereotypes should not die, but the people that use them wrong should. :3
