The phrase comes from Super Smash Bros Brawl, the 2008 fighting game featuring Nintendo characters including Pit, the angel hero from Kid Icarus. In the game, the line marks the moment a battle is ready to begin, which is why it works so naturally as a hype cue outside the game. A stretched, louder fan version later circulated on soundboards and in short gaming edits, where creators paired it with matchups, rivalries and tournament moments. Its appeal has lasted because the line is instantly recognisable to Smash players and needs no explanation before the action starts.
