What Music do you listen to while playing smash?

[WhiteLion]

I usually listen to Hip-Hop with a hype beat but after re-watching the smash documentary today I found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8ftIblV_G0&list=PLZnntDalYZCiO8pPPuA0xLqSXbV9IAmqk It's from an old m2k combo video. If you want links to any of the stuff I listen to just ask and I'll post 'em.

 

[Nixon Corral]

I mean, if I'm playing with my friends or at home or whatever, I usually just listen to the OST.

I've taken headphones to tournaments before, but I've never really used them. Playing without at least vaguely hearing the sound effects is weird to me. Most use they've ever gotten was when somebody else asked to borrow them.

Edit: Also, welcome to SmashBoards! If you need help finding your way around, make a post in the Welcome Center, and someone should be there to help you out.

I like to listen to more funny-ish music while I play smash, often video game music. Things like this:

[Grass]

anything ska, real big fish, 90s music, whatever.

 

[MapleWooD]

Dat real hip-hop shizzle

 

[WhiteLion]

It's cool to see the variation here, I've found that a lot of music from the Smash documentary is really good for playing. Also, thank you Nixon for the warm welcome!

I usually just listen to the music that it's in the game. Sometimes, not too often though I'll listen to anime openings and ending. For some reason it just goes really well with Smash.

 

[MonadoMaster64]

I usually listen to video game osts. My favorites are almost all of the sonic games, Persona 4, and Blazblue.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I listen to the music in game. Smash Bros has the best collection of music (in my opinion) in any game, why would I want to listen to anything else?

Although I'm not really into listening to music over the music natively found in games. It's a bit weird.

It annoys me when I want to watch a gameplay video on youtube and they have some other music playing over the gameplay.

 

[BeBetterGamer]

When I'm playing the regular modes or events or anything like that, I listen to the regular soundtrack because there's so much great iconic music in the game.

But when I'm on For Glory and trying to get "in the zone" I listen to my curated Daft Punk station on Pandora. Listening to a lot of dance/house/electronic/techno etc. music really helps me keep focus and goes well with the game.

 

[SpartBagelz]

I have a playlist on YouTube for my music and it encompasses just about everything. https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKs_2eZ4PPGJpsE_nv6jFN3g9WChpuF6d

I enjoy the variety. I would put classical and jazz music on there too but I keep those playlists separate. So if anybody wants those just ask.

 

[Raijinken]

I listen to Smash's music. Soundscapes are an important component in a game's over-all feel. If I'm playing with audio (which makes me perform notably better than without, as I'm an aural player), I'm also certainly too lazy to go into settings to turn down music I like.

 

[Heroine of Winds]

Normally I just listen to the game's OST. There's really no need to turn the music off if I already enjoy some of the music I like.

I'm the same unless I go "try-hard" in For Glory because I DO like the game's OST

 

[Castle Maker]

I listen to this Youtube Playlist I've been working on for a few months

[Dokokashira]

I'm with the sentiment that I just listen to the game's music, though I do often choose specific stages just for their music. For example, if my opponent wants to battle on Omega stages, I always choose Mushroom Kingdom U, Woolly World, Onett, or Pilotwings, and rarely any others, since I love their music so much.

I could never play my own music while playing. The differences in volumes would bother me too much if I just turned off the game's music, while I'd miss out on sound cues for attacks and such if I turned off all of the game's audio.

 

[Marakatu]

This album goes pretty well with Smash 4.

 

[CYBERSHADOW_01]

Street Fighter music. Akuma's theme is pretty hardcore and gets me in the mood.

[misterOWAIN33]

Usually, I'll either listen to the OST, country music ( http://www.iheart.com/live/big-955-fm-857/ ), or extended game music ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHSgsDtszVM ).
Or this.

 

[Kai_64]

I normally just turn my monitor up really loud, if I feel like it I will listen to Daft Punk or Outkast.

 

[Acadian Flycatcher]

I love the soundtrack too much not to listen to it.

 

[Miracle BugCatcherJay]

Personally I listen to dubstep while playing I think it makes me more aggressive. What artist you ask? Savant. Look him up, he's like the best dubstep artist ever! You wont be disappointed. :D

 

[LunarWingCloud]

If with friends, the game soundtrack. If alone, Touhou arranges and Hatsune Miku songs, mostly with a dance or otherwise techno beat to keep me pumped

 

[CrazyPerson]

I don't have anything external... without the mix of iun game music and sound effects my play would be thrown off.

But... I did turn the frequency of music from a game my friend wasn't good at up... in hopes he will channel that into a sup par performance against me... thus far it hasn't worked.
