Test Your Might comes from Mortal Kombat, the fighting game series that debuted in arcades in 1992. In the original game it was a bonus stage between fights where players rapidly pressed buttons to build power and break objects like wood and stone. The announcer phrase became one of the series most recognisable voice lines and returned in later entries. Online, the clip spread through gaming videos, edits and soundboards, where its serious tone is reused for any small test of strength or skill.
