The line debuted in Midway's Mortal Kombat arcade cabinet in 1992, where ninja specter Scorpion bellows it while firing his harpoon-like spear, a move that yanks the opponent toward him. The original voice was reportedly co-creator Ed Boon, recorded and digitized on the cheap, which is why it sounds so raw. The catchphrase followed Scorpion through every sequel, film and cartoon appearance, and out of the arcade it became a universal shorthand for summoning or reeling someone in, from sports celebrations to sitcom gags. Its misspelled board title, Get ovah here, mirrors how fans quote the gruff accent.
About this sound
Scorpion's iconic Get over here battle cry from Mortal Kombat, roared as he hurls his spear. A sound for dramatic call-ins, surprise entrances and gaming edits.
Scorpion's legendary Get over here is one of the most quoted lines in fighting game history, ripped from the original Mortal Kombat arcade game of 1992. The undead ninja roars the phrase as he launches his chained spear, dragging his opponent in for a close-range beating. The raw, digitized voice recording gives it a gritty retro edge that still hits hard decades later. On screen it lands like a command, equal parts threat and invitation, and hearing it instantly drops viewers into arcade nostalgia. Few three-second clips carry this much punch.
