Damn 17 remixes from Mega Man now.

Mega man has steal the spotlight for getting the most remix for smash ultimate.

any chance of a .flac version or am i missing it?

I don’t know…

The bitrate is moslty at 67 kbps…

Plus the codec is Opus which is a variant of ogg vorbis.

any chance of a .flac version or am I missing it?

I don’t know either
The bitrate is so low, but the encoding says lossless

I converted to FLAC it’s just uploading.

You switched the names for the Lifelight theme xD English one is named "japanese" while the japanese is named "english"

Oh, my bad,

Things to update on ver 0.2 until now:

Add Motoi Sakuraba to Wood Man Stage
Add Hard Man Stage, Bomb Man Stage and Snake Man
Fix the Lifelight name.

Do you plan on adding new victory themes as well?

Thanks a lot!

Sittingonclouds, thank you so much for doing this. And for the download options! Appreciate you isolating the new music for this entry. Rock on!

Thanks a lot bro. Btw, Divine Bloodlines (Richter’s Theme) in Smash Ultimate is Bloodlines Bequeathed from Portrait of Ruin

So I take it these are just the new songs from this game (as I imagine it’s reusing a ton of music from the others)? If so, that is PERFECT, thank you so much!

Although aren’t there supposed to be 34 Castlevania songs? Or are the rest just taken straight from other games?

Thanks again.

I know it’s a lot of work, but could you please, please, PLEASE include music that has appeared in other games? I need all the Castlevania tracks!

Thank you very very much for this upload!

Look for Judgment and Harmony of Despair soundtracks, and Best Music Collections BOX’s disc 17 for the arcade tracks here:
Thread 126974

That’s… pretty much it. It’s good music to have around, regardless.

I really, really don’t want to take the time to track down every single new track he left out. Guess I’ll wait for someone to do the full soundtrack.

Is there a link with all the original .lopus files? :thinking:

Is there a link with all the original .lopus files? :thinking:
Yes, in a topic right next to this one 😛

Thread 227828

Alright. After downloading the LOPUS files, I converted one to WAV and discovered, like the name suggest, that it’s just rebadged .opus for looping. So…. OPUS to MP3? Lossy to lossy conversion (more quality loss). Opus to FLAC ? Lossy to lossless convertion (Waste of space). Both illegal conversions. The right way to listen to these would be, you guessed it, listen to the .lopus files.

But CONVENIENCE right?

But CONVENIENCE right?

Teach my iPhone to play .lopus and I will gladly switch. I would love looping playback on an iPhone.

I think you missed this track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDm9n_gTnBo

I missed Sand Ocean (F-Zero) and Beginning (Castlevania)

I’m gonna update soon.

You also missed Iron Blue Intention, Cross Your Heart, and Dance of Gold from Castlevania.

We have a full composer breakdown for which composer arrange which song : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15F0wRybaFvM30Mjssiz7261Jts72Xzv9Bp49aIE-GqQ/htmlview?usp=sharing&sle=true

Oh thank you so much, I’m gonna work on it.

Hey, question: How many Vampire Killer versions are in smash? I’m asking because the version here sounds like the Castlevania Judgement one (i think)

EDIT: I don’t know if this is from Smash, but you can notice that this one is different from the one you uploaded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEvhMBEkwYI&t=

Hey, question: How many Vampire Killer versions are in smash? I’m asking because the version here sounds like the Castlevania Judgement one (i think)

The uploaded version is indeed the one from Judgement. The Youtube link is what should be in the set, since it was made for SSBU.

Thanks.

Also you’re missing ad21_ac_jyujikawomuneni.lopus aka Cross Your Heart

UPDATE:

I include the arranger and performer tags for ALL tracks.

I added all the missing tracks too:

11.03 Sand Ocean
18 02. Training Menu – Wii Fit U
24 03. Bomb Man Stage
24 09. Hard Man Stage
24 11. Snake Man Stage
29 05. Cross Your Heart
29 09. Iron Blue Intention
29 10. Dance of Gold
30 03. Yūyūki Medley
30 09. Title Theme – Wii Sports Club

I fixed the Lifelight name, and also cut them so they don’t loop

any change you could update the Vampire Killer one?

ad15_ju_vampirekiller.lopus belongs in the set.
ad38_ju_vampirekiller.lopus does not belong in the set.

Also, thank you very much for doing this. I came across this thread just as I was about to do all of the work myself, so I really appreciate it!

Thanks for the work! Just to note, you have the wrong Title Theme – Wii Sports Club in here. Instead of the remix, you have the original track.

I include the arranger and performer tags for ALL tracks.

Nice, how did you get this info already?

You posted it, but you do not state where it is from.
You could clarify, if you felt so helpful.

Did you, yourself, get this info from the music test in-game? Or was it filled in with "assumed" arrangers? (this has happened in other threads)
Was it found somewhere randomly online? Was it found from trusted sources online?

No info on the origin of that data has been presented. This is why I ask.

From the mbst files.

And several tracks does fit with the composer signature music so i trust this list.

You have a point, but regarding FLAC, they probably don’t know a better way to get a lopus file tagged, with max compatibility, and without a loss of quality.

I know I don’t.

Yeah, but still not that worth for the size difference.
But I included in the title so. Still without a loss of quality
I’ll try to add all the Lopus files new tracks too.

I’ll post the lopus file with proper name later.

Thanks for this!

The vampire killer you included is from Castlevania Judgement

Edit: Oic other people already mentioned this, either way thanks.

My bad, I’ll update.

I also find a new Castlevania remix that’s not in the Google Sheet

ad05_dc2_dwellingofdoom

Is not the same version as Castlevania II, only if is a different version for another Castlevania game.
But dc2 should mean Dracula 2 so it supposed to be from this game.

EDIT: Nevermind, it’s the FDS version

What about How to Play Remix? I’m not seeing this one.

also you include a older remix which is Title Theme – Wii Sports Club and it was arranged by Ryo Nagamatsu

My bad, I’ll update.

Ah, that explains why it sounds so much better than the real NES one. I had thought Nintendo had unleashed its true powers and boosted the quality somehow, lol.

Darn, there are so many remakes of Castlevania games before remakes weren’t even a thing. It’s hard to keep up, even as a fan.

I re-named all the lopus file here : https://www.mediafire.com/file/361bwhk2s2d1tb8/Lopus.zip/file

Thanks man,

I just Updated with The right Wii Sports Remix and Vampire Killer, also the How to Play Melee Remix.

I’m also doing the Castlevania album with all the tracks, the sound test seems to be organized by game release date. But I checked in the 8.8 direct where they show all the Castlevania tracks and the order doesn’t seem to match.
But I realized that they using the original track as a base, like Vampire Killer from the Judgment is the first, but because the original version is from the first Castlevania. The Harmony of Despair tracks are all separate but they seem to be in the order if you consider the original version of the tracks.

Thank you so much for taking your time in uploading and uploading and adding these tracks, much appreciate it. Good work overall

Do you have the lopus file of the Wii Sports Remix & How to Play Melee Remix ?

I delete the hole smash ultimate folder because it was taking too much space on my driver.

I would like to get them in order to add them to my lopus set please.

Nice! I have lopus,mp3,wav but i’m downloading anyways :V

I finally finished the Castlevania album

This is not the final version, just a preview

MP3 (https://mega.nz/#!0Bkg1KyC!OQWL_EJ3nzl_xsbODpS8WHFz8C2tzJmW1ozo4YUun8k)

The plan of this collection is to have 30 vols for each series just like the sound test, each one separated in 2 discs.

Disc 1 – Sound Test
All the tracks in the sound tests.

Disc 2 – Bonus Tracks:
All the tracks that are not in the sound test but are in the game, like Victory Themes and items songs.
I also added the original version of the remixes cause I think would be really cool to check the original version of the remixes.
I was planning to include remixes that won’t be in ultimate but were in previous games, but it seems that every remix is back.

All the tracks will be tagged with info from the sound test, like Arranger, Debut game, if it’s a new remix etc.
And also with info not found on the sound test, like Original composers, the file name and if it’s the remix is from Brawl, melee etc. instead of just "Old Remix" like the sound test.

Artist Name: Will have the arranger, or original composer if it’s an original track
Composer: Original Composer
FROM: Debut Game
SOURCE: If it’s a New remix, Original, Brawl, Melee, 3DS / Wii U, 64.
For the original version of the remixes on the Bonus Tracks, will be showing from where I got that track. Ex: Castlevania Famicom Best, Track 26
ORIGINAL FILE NAME: The name in the game files. Ex: ad0_fc_outoftime

I’ll be making Covers for every character just like the Smash 4 Expanded OST,
But I’m also making a pdf booklet with the tracklist, lyrics, and change on the track name from past games.
Like Corneria -> Star Fox Medley.

Let me know what you guys think.
Feedback is really welcome!

Here they are (https://www.mediafire.com/file/9bgcmcafc3x3jx5/r74_wsc_maintitle.rar/file)

Thank you, i’ll update the set by now.

You can use it if you want for your threads.

Well that’s great. Count me interested in mega man and street fighter at least.

thanks for this

I got ’em all. Thank you for sharing them!

Did the Nintendo ninjas take down your links?

So the real question is do you plan on making the ULTIMATE Compilation of Smash Bros. music? You’ve done SSB4, Melee, and now Ultimate… And I’m pretty sure there’s several tracks that got passed over from Brawl that are missing. (Pretty sure almost all the 64 soundtrack is readily available officially, but still.)

So is this from the new game ? This might be a bad thread title if not

Did the Nintendo ninjas take down your links?

I’m not sure, but someone asked to remove the MP3 Mega link, It wasn’t me.
But the MediaFire and FLAC still work fine.

Yeah, I’m working on it.
It seems that all the past remixes are returning from ultimate.
But I’m gonna to include everything from all smash series.

Yeah it’s just the new songs from Smash Ultimate

Damn y’all done some fantastic work on this soundtrack, this is baller! Thank you so much for all your hard efforts.

I’m interested in a full FLAC release with all 800+ tracks. If anyone can point me to one, perhaps with true lossless files and not just .lopus (if they exist!) I’d really appreciate it!

For clarification, is this collection completely finished? If so, are all the links on the first post?

Do the first links contain everything, or do the Castlevania albums have to be downloaded separately?

Just so I don’t download too much stuff and take up unnecessary space.

The Main links are just the new remixes and soundtrack
The Castlevania album contains all the tracks from Castlevania including the new remixes.

I’m working on the full collection with all songs, new and old remixes, and everything.

Awesome! What format is the audio from the game? And how are you getting the audio? I’ve got the .nsp file myself but I’ve no idea how to go about extracting the audio.

If the original files are .lopus format, can I ask that you not convert it to FLAC or MP3, and instead provide the original .lopus files? There’s no point converting a lossy source to another format, it just degrades its quality. And I believe .lopus is smaller than MP3 anyway, so if people are worried about space it would be to their benefit to go with .lopus.

I’m also curious about the file format for this project.
Did you convert the files to mp3 yourself? Or are you using one of the already converted mp3 batches that have been posted to this forum?
I don’t know if it was a conversion problem or if it is just how the original lopus files are, but I’ve heard quite a few tracks with a lot of audio glitches in them (especially in the KK Slider songs, but other small glitches/clicks/scratches can be found in other tracks from other franchises).

How is the audio quality on your files, overall?
I might be imagining this, but it almost sounds like the other posted mp3 batches are not great sound quality. They are 320, but I feel like I am hearing some hissing in the background (particularly with string instruments or chorus vocals).
Again, I do not know if this is an issue with the conversion of that particular mp3 batch, or if this is just what the lopus files sound like…

Hopefully he offers .lopus along with the FLAC and MP3 versions when this is ready.

Also, can the .lopus files be rehosted? They’re unavailable.

Yes, I converted myself from the Lopus files.
But they have such a low Bitrate, Maybe I should replace the old remixes with Smash4 converted files instead of from ultimate.
Converting to mp3 will have a loss of quality, the FLAC won’t have any loss but they will be much heavier than it should, and the lopus files would be the most optimal way but they can’t be tagged.

Oh damn, .lopus can’t be tagged? That’s a damn shame haha. Thanks for the link btw!

I think it would be cool if you made a straight .lopus to FLAC rip, and a separate one where the old remixes from Smash 4 are used where possible. So we’d have a 100% "native" rip along with a "fan compilation" with better quality files for the old songs.

The low bitrate of the original lopus files makes a lot of sense. That would explain it.
I put your main album into my music player to listen on my commute to test it out. I thought maybe the low bitrate after conversion to MP3 wouldn’t be THAT noticeable, but I was wrong. It’s really noticeable how hissy it sounds. (not a negative comment about your work, just about the status of this game’s sound files in general)
Replacing the tracks with those from the Wii U soundtrack would work (I was doing this for a few tracks for the full album I was arranging for myself), but then you would have a very stark contrast with the new tracks, plus the newly added non-remix tracks.

A FLAC version would be a good solution, but is unfortunately not ideal for me (personally) as pretty much only my PC would be able to play it. FLAC is compatible with any of my media player options for normal music listening.

if a make a two versions of FLAC, one if the smash 4 files and one with the new lopus, plus the mp3 and original lopus files.

Yeah I was thinking about the contrast, I could search for the new non-remix tracks in other places, but they would need to be FLAC 48000Hz.
I guess it’s better to have a contrast than have everything with a worst quality.
I’m gonna make the Expanded Soundtrack thread now and see what people think.

Hello one question. Is the smash ultimate audio quality really bad? I already tried any format and it sounds ugly. I hope there is a way to get in excellent quality, or we will send a complaint to sakurai

Any chance of getting the Punch-Out music?

Hello one question. Is the smash ultimate audio quality really bad? I already tried any format and it sounds ugly. I hope there is a way to get in excellent quality, or we will send a complaint to sakurai

The quality is cutoff at 20kHz. However, playing them both back in Audition, with only the frequencies 8kHz and above, they both sound very damn similar. I wouldn’t worry too much about the lower quality being too noticeable.
Of course, I only tested one song (Escape from the City, compared to the Sm4sh Wii U version), so maybe other songs are worse.

First of all, thank you very much for your efforts, sittingonclouds. Really appreciate it! But for the audio quality, well I can only associate myself with the others here, it’s ok, but not that good, at least when compared to others, for example Super Smash Bros. Wii U or even Brawl has better and more clear audio quality. It’s not your fault, of course! But I wish there would be a way to solve this…. I’ve listened to several rips around here and all feature the same quality.

Yeah, It’s not so great. I don’t think there is anything that can be done.
They probably did to fit all the 900 tracks.

Yeah, the original files audio quality is not so good.
For the expanded soundtrack I will replace the old remixes and original songs with Smash 4 and other albums lossless files.
But for the new remixes, I don’t think I can do something about it

Oh, so bad. Hopefully Nintendo will listen to us and improve the quality, there must be another way. And I doubt that they take out a CD album of smash ultimate (plus the new remix songs)

Maybe we get a digital release some day haha (keeps dreaming…) 🙂 Well, I mean Nintendo DID release Super Mario Odyssey’s Sound Selection and Single digitally.

Or at least an official compilation, like for SSM4. Even if not all tracks are present, it’s better than nothing. NINTENDO! I’m looking at you.

Yeah, the original files audio quality is not so good.
For the expanded soundtrack I will replace the old remixes and original songs with Smash 4 and other albums lossless files.
But for the new remixes, I don’t think I can do something about it
Will you also do a version where all the tracks are from Smash Ultimate? It will sound very jarring for a percentage of the soundtrack to be low quality while the rest is high quality. That’s why I’m hoping you provide both.
And the quality is definitely better than Brawl’s, idk what Maxwill is saying lol.

The bitrate and overall audio quality in Brawl (at least the audio rip I have) sounds much cleaner than the music for Ultimate (which seems kinda compressed, like sittingonclouds suggested to fit all 900 songs into the game).
Compare for yourself. You can hear it in the more orchestral tracks like for example "Stalker / Wicked Child" from Castlevania or "Aquarius" from Castlevania III. Percussion, strings, etc. sound a bit … muffled.
I’m not an expert, but I can hear that.

Gotta love the sound of placebo, eh? 🙂

Hey, amazing rip sittingonclouds! Very nice work done here, and the Castlevania album is an awesome idea too. I have one question though, even though I think I know the answer. Did you do any sort of post processing on the tracks, other than the conversion (i.e. reverb, EQ, etc.). It sounds like the files are raw, but I was curious nonetheless. I honestly think most of the stuff in Ultimate sounds fine, though Lifelight is (oddly) much more compressed sounding than the other songs. If they are raw, which I believe they are, I may tinker with the FLAC files a bit (a big no-no, I know, but meh) and see if I can do anything to make them sound just a bit better. I’ve done lots of gamerips of my own as many people here know, and have lots of knowledge on how to work with this sort of thing (take a look at my 3DS rips, most of those were much worse off than Ultimate’s OST, and I was able to enhance those to a great extent, with the exception of USUM which I still feel like I butchered by making too bassy). I’ll letcha all know if I come up with anything good. I may upload it, but probably not to its own thread, since the rip originated here and was not made from scratch by me.

I’ll keep everyone in touch!

I’m somewhat interested! The songs from Ultimate sound pretty terribad as it is. Not only are they compressed, they also lack a ton of bass for whatever reason. It’s a shame because they could have simply doubled the bitrate of the .lopus files and it would have sounded transparent �\_(�□�)_/�

Exactly! It’s such a shame as there are so many high quality arrangements within the soundtrack, even with some live instruments I think.

Ikr? The game itself is only 14 GB, too. The max cartridge size is 32 GB, but I guess Nintendo figured it’s not worth going over 16 GB and would rather give us low quality audio instead lol

(Plus, higher bitrate versions of the audio would have still been able to fit on a 16 GB cartridge)

We should start a petition to finally release some of the music from Nintendo games officially, at least digitally! 🙂

Or at least we should inform Mr. Sakurai about the issues about the quality haha.

maybe we should send a request to the sakurai twitter. he will not answer us, but unless he realizes.

and I doubt that they take out an album with the new songs in itune or Cd, for some reason they made the switch as an audio player

Wood man theme was arranged by motoi Sakuraba.

Just listen closely to heard his keyboard signature

Thanks for pointing that out!!

That would be great, I’m looking forward to see what you can do to improve the files.

The lifelight theme is actually not raw. I edited cause they didn’t load properly so I shortened the file, The Piano version also don’t loop but I dindn’t edit yet.
The rest is all raw.

I’m not sure if you were aware of this (because I certainly wasn’t until just now) but the Sm4sh Wii U/3DS soundtrack was finally updated by that guy a few months ago, so you can potentially get more tracks from it that are also present in Ultimate. https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/86wyh5/game_rip_super_smash_bros_for_wii_u_3ds_complete/

The audio sounds fine in the game. The bitrate it is at is fine for playback, it just ends up sounding bad when you try to convert it to another lossy format.
The game even has some equalizer options to enhance bass or enhance treble built in.

Are you referring to the MP3s? Because I was talking about the FLACs.

Pretty sure the equalizer they added is nothing more than an extra. It’d be pretty sad if it was necessary imo.

I was talking about in the game. Like the original format played through the game on a large stereo system. The end results is that it does not sound low quality at all.

Ah, thanks for the heads up. I was mainly concerned about post processing effects. I have been working on it in my spare time and am pretty happy with what I have so far. I’ve made several iterations and have been having friends listen to them for outside input on which one sounds the best. I will say though, Lifelight and the beginning of Midna’s Lament still leave a bit to be desired. In the end though, there is nothing we can really do as fans without the original source files. It’s a bit like putting lipstick on a pig lol. I do feel I am on the right track, and will upload everything when it’s done however. Does everyone really want the FLAC files though? That’s a really big upload, as the files are super heavy when they really shouldn’t be based on the way they sound. I certainly can upload it, but I may just upload the MP3 V0 files if only a few people really want the FLAC stuff.

Ah, gotcha. That’s probably because the game can somehow utilize the higher bitrate 96kbps lopus streams as opposed to the lower bitrate 64kbps lopus streams we currently have to work with.

I’d like the FLAC. Any lossy format will just be lower quality than whatever you’re working with. FLAC will at least be the same.

Alrighty. I’ll strongly consider.

Wait, how does the game utilize a higher bitrate than we can? That doesn’t make any sense at all. The in-game files are identical to the ones we have, so how does this happen?

Check this thread, it explains it: https://gbatemp.net/threads/smash-ultimate-partial-data-arc-extractor-inject-tool.524329/

Basically the files have a higher bitrate but you have to do some labour to get them to play at that bitrate, and possibly only the second half anyway. I’m not too sure myself.

Ah, I see. So, from what I understand, the higher bitrate files have been overwritten. This means we’ll likely never get them back. I suppose a patch COULD restore all these files, but that seems incredibly unlikely as the patch would be huge and raise some eyebrows because of that. I really don’t think we’ll ever get the higher bitrate files back at this point. It is interesting that the end portions of the songs do have remnants of the higher quality files though. Fascinating that people found this out, really. Honestly, much as they said in their thread, the files are what they are at this point. In a perfect world they’d be better, but as it stands right now there is no way to play them or obtain them in a higher quality. Me and everyone else on here will continue to work with what we have been given regardless, I’m sure.

Like I said, Lifelight and some others will always leave a little to be desired, but they sound far from bad and are still plenty listenable, especially after what I’ve done.

EDIT: Also, I am confident the game is not playing them back at a higher bitrate than we have access to, based on that info about the overwriting and such. I’ve played Ultimate hooked up to numerous high-end sound systems and with nice headphones in portable mode; it’s always sounded a bit soft and compressed through that (comparable to the FLAC rip we have here). Probably unnoticeable to a majority of people, but us rippers and our hypersensitive ears will of course notice.

Yeah haha, shame that happened. If the files natively looped once, it would probably be fine, since we could just take the second half of the song and loop THAT twice, but I believe the songs are just a single loop which are programmed to play twice like other vgmstream supported files.

It’s just a shame that they reduced the bass, too. I didn’t think compression makes songs lose bass (correct me if I’m wrong). I thought it just affects the higher frequencies. Needless to say, I think sourcing the songs from Sm4sh Wii U/3DS and other original games would be a great way to get the majority of files sounding better. And of course, if you can manage to make them sound better by filtering the native files, that may be an even better option.

I’m not very expert about audio formats in videogames and maybe it’s a silly question, but never thought to transform the LOPUS files into another format like BFSTM (audio format used in the wii u) and from there to audio format? (wav, Flac …). bah, I think it’s impossible to move from one file to another format xD

…I believe the songs are just a single loop which are programmed to play twice like other vgmstream supported files.

Yeah, would’ve been nice if that was the case. The songs indeed only play once, as that cuts the filesize down to, well, about half because it’s half the length of songs that play twice.
On your second comment, compression does indeed effect all ranges, and removes some of the punch from bass. Compression to an extreme degree will make the bass ‘feel’ worse and sound muffled and quieter. Though, I can see why most people would think that bass is not affected, as, because of the nature of bass and low notes, they naturally hold up much better under the same compression as higher notes (which have a more distinct, crisp sound, that is easier to tell if they are compressed).

Furthermore, if you want the stuff from older Smash games, don’t waste your time with ripping from or waiting for them to be ripped from Ultimate. Instead, go check out Nexus / !!!!! ‘s outstanding Smash Bros. Music Collection on his big thread for FLAC and MP3 stuff with great quality and tweaking very similar to my own work. If you want the stuff from other non-Smash games, I’m sure you can find it somewhere on here too.

I’ve actually already got the Smash 4 complete rip from here https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/86wyh5/game_rip_super_smash_bros_for_wii_u_3ds_complete/
I think it’s the most complete one, and doesn’t use that weird ncrypt or whatever site that !!!!! uses. I was just suggesting that the tracks from that rip could be used in the smash ultimate rip, with the tags edited to conform with Smash Ultimate’s tags 🙂

Good thought, and that certainly is possible, but it’s also pointless. It’s converting from one lossy format to another and won’t make anything better. Can’t make sound data that isn’t there reappear sadly.

UPDATE:
Kay, I’ve gone completely off the rails now. I finally got my hands on a copy of the raw lopus files, and am going to make my own gamerip from those. I’ll be sure to keep you guys posted, but I’ll make my own thread once I get done with that since this project is now entirely my own. Thanks for all the input thus far, though!

UPDATE 2:
Sounds like much of the quality issues we are having stem from conversion. Converting the lopus files straight to wav STILL somehow decreases their quality, but I think I’ve found a way around that… Making progress for sure.

As I said before, you have to request a request or send a twiter to sakurai to ask that it improve the quality of the audio. osino we will never have those new themes in excellent quality

Maybe if maybe not,: V. I have hope.

* I do not understand why they did so, in Wii smash they were 3GB of music, if they did so adding to the new songs, they would be a total of 4GB (a little more with DLC themes) but well … the fault of Nintendo to create a console of little GB of internal memory. if I had made 100Gb I think we would not be complaining

You know Brawl’s soundtrack was worse quality than Smash Ultimate, right? It was cutoff at 16kHz while Ultimate is cutoff at 20kHz.
And Switch games can reach 64 GB max. They were just too cheap to use 64 GB cards so they settled with compressing the game to fit in 32 GB.

Precisely! Unfortunately most people take Lifelight, which sounds worse than much of the rest of the OST, as indicative of the game’s overall audio quality. Though, because of the format, Ultimate’s OST doesn’t convert well, and thus sounds worse in most rips as a result. You just need to put in a little legwork to get them converted properly and sounding good.

…speaking of which, the rip is going incredibly well, and I hope to have it uploaded at some point this week!

Also, what do you mean leg

"Legwork"? It’s an expression 😛
Definition from Google "work that involves much traveling to collect information, especially when such work is difficult but boring."

Though, I would say this rip has been quite exciting to make. 😀

LOL that’s weird, I realized what you meant (regarding the extra work involved in converting the .lopus files) as I was typing so I deleted it before posting, but apparently the site decided it should post it anyway

Here ya go, guys! It’s finally done, so here is my latest contribution to the community!

Thread: Thread 228377

You can see the full details on the thread, but the tl;dr is that I ripped Smash Ultimate’s OST (new songs only) in both lossless (FLAC) and MP3 V0, and that I did a TON of work to (successfully) improve the sound quality and organize the soundtrack in a manner that would be fitting for an official soundtrack. I’m sure most of you have some rip of the game already, but I ask you to please check out my rip, as I can guarantee that as of right now it is the best Smash Ultimate’s OST has ever sounded.
Thank you all so much!

Can you please upload the flac files to a different site?
Mega requires you to pay for large files.
Why can’t you use dropbox or something?

Just Updated with the Persona Series new tracks, I’m gonna add all the tracks in the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Expanded Soundtrack (Thread 228191) soon

The 5.0 update files links are wrong, the MP3 link is the flac ones and the Flac link are the MP3 files
