About this sound

Content generated with AI assistance

The iconic Mortal Kombat announcer shouting Finish Him before a fatality, used in gaming edits and reaction videos to signal a decisive knockout moment.

This is the deep, dramatic announcer voice from Mortal Kombat declaring Finish Him as a defeated opponent stands stunned and vulnerable. The delivery is slow, booming and deliberately menacing, with each word landing like a final warning before the match ends in a brutal finishing move. Hearing it instantly raises the stakes, turning an ordinary win into a theatrical showdown and making viewers anticipate something spectacular, violent and over the top. It works because the phrase is instantly recognisable to gamers, carrying decades of arcade tension, rivalry and triumphant payoff in just two words.

The phrase comes from Mortal Kombat, the fighting game series launched by Midway in 1992, where it signals the end of a match and invites the winner to perform a fatality. It became a signature part of the series across arcade cabinets, consoles and later films and reboots, instantly understood even by people who never played the games. Online, creators reuse the short announcer clip to mark decisive victories, failed arguments and exaggerated showdowns, which has kept it alive far beyond its original arcade context.
