Personally, I listen to some of the Undertale sound track (Megalovania, Bonetrousle and ASGORE preferably.) Lose Yourself and when I'm stressed I listen to chillstep. What do you guys listen to during Tourneys?

I always listen to Smash's music and sound effects when playing Smash. I'm a very aural person, it actually impacts my play when I can't hear the game.

A rock arrangement of Professor Layton's theme is priceless to me. Undertale's soundtrack is just magnificent too. And there's an artist on Soundcloud with the name DBOYD (Don't Blink Or You'll Die) who makes his own songs using video game song bits. l know this isn't new, but his songs are beautiful. "lnterstellar Retribution", for example, is the best thing for me if l need to play aggressively, which can throw off opponents used to me being more cautious, mainly thanks to the aforementioned Layton arrangement.

didn't want to have to listen to my own music in tournament, but it's way too loud to hear the game anyway so i caved and made a playlist.

has a mix of different things. James Blake, St Vincent, Purity Ring, Grimes and Radiohead, along with some idolm@ster Cinderella Girls songs, songs from the soundtrack to SMT x FE, and some random Tekken Tag 2 songs. those aren't necessarily my favourite game soundtracks, but i wanted a certain mood from the songs and they fit the best

Mostly OST that can relax me or inspire me. Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon works wonders for me.

A lot of stuff tends to do it for me, but in particular, I'm fond of the soundtracks for Guilty Gear and Blazblue, both of which are very guitar heavy and intense. A few good ones I'm in love with are the original version of Motorhead, which has heavy bass, Rebellion and Bullet Dance have nice rhythms, and I've heard Black Onslaught 2 described as having a Rock Opera feel.

Also, as much as I hate facing players who main him, Sonic music is fantastic, especially Crush 40's stuff. Heavy Guitars, and easy to tune out vocals.

I listen to the people that are talking over the match and completely ignoring it rather than focusing on the game.
I suppose that's why I don't win tournaments.
But now seriously, I don't ever listen to music when I play the game. Not even the game's music. I thought that maybe I'd feel something if I was playing the game and Brawl's Final Destination Theme, Mega Man 2 Medley or Minor Circuit were playing in the background, but last tournament, I noticed I tend to filter the music out entirely.
To instead focus on what the idiots not watching the match are talking about, obviously, like I said before.

A good variety. Some Kingdom Hearts 2 OST, some J-rock, sometimes even Metal Gear Rising OST

Anything loud and has a groove. I'm easily distracted so I need to be able to "zone out" into the music to help me keep focused on the match. Rammstein, The Sword, Meshuggah, and Bolt Thrower are a few that I go to consistently.

Usually, I listen to the game's music, but sometimes, I need some music from Doom and Doom 2, or maybe some Hunting-Betrayal.

I'm trying to make a playlist for Mewtwo:
Psychic Type - Indigo Plateau
Psychic Type - Victory Road (HYYYYPE!!)

Work in progress obviously. I have a few more but can't remember the names.

I don't listen to music while I'm in a match, but I do listen to music while I'm training/in the lab

Just a tip for people who like to listen to game audio, but can't hear it because most monitors have horrible built-in speakers and the crowd can be loud: plug your headphones into the Gamepad.

I never really do that tbh. I can't really play properly if I can't here the game.

Usually Classical or OST (Hisaishi, other film/anime scores).

Occasionally Kanye and the Smash Trap Remix because that s*** is lit
