Menu (Beta Version) - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

I'm not sure if a version with this quality has been uploaded before. This was played during the EVO 2019 stream of SSBU, and I was surprised at how good it sounded compared to the uploads I've heard before. So I knew I had to record and upload it.
Not gonna lie, I think this sounds much better than the final version. That choir, man.

[@Treydemark]

I wish they still kept this version in the game as an optional menu song

[@ultimate-gamer0473]

✔️✔️✔️😢😢😢

[@coyotemontana4558]

They only use the final version. This is only the beta version.

[@raemonn15]

CoyoteMontana He still likes it regardless, beta or not. Putting this in the game still shouldn’t be too hard at all. The freaking Main Theme from E3 2018 is still not in the game at all, and that’s a damn disappointment.

[@potattoggled]

yea

[@user-pz6xe5fm2z]

@@coyotemontana4558 I really hoped as well but for fuck sake they funking didn't. But we could like sent an email to them to add this in their new update, can't we?

[@wildfiresnap]

Remember two years ago when this got leaked and it crashed KZbin? Hard to believe it’s been that long already.

[@bernbern309]

This song crashed KZbin?

[@wildfiresnap]

@@bernbern309 idk if it was actually what crashed YT but KZbin was down for a while and people were joking that this was what caused it

[@AxeIRad]

1:18 is why this can be said is better than the final

[@BK2410]

This kinda reminds me of smash 4's menu theme. Maybe that's why they changed it 🤔

[@itsmeft2430]

it’s in the final version, just super quiet

[@Raddkann]

@@itsmeft2430 nobody said it wasn't. this is just why this version is better.

[@1biant]

Honestly, this sounds more like an official live orchestrated version rather than a beta - the fact this sounds more improvised makes it more beautiful. It sounds much more intense, especially for a menu but this is a celebration of all star fighting so hey, it's worth it!

[@theblackgamester8776]

The slight guitar plucks is what makes this superior

[@kthesnake]

Strongly agree.

[@lando4433]

But the final version also has slight guitar plucks though, maybe I'm missing something

[@Troy-ry5pp]

@@lando4433 The plucks are more subtle in the final version compared to the beta. It's easier to hear it in this version.

[@milesfernando]

Bothering me that nobody has mentioned that that's a bass

[@Raddkann]

That part goes so hard i stg- 👹🔥

[@SuperDuperNick]

0:00 That’s right. Every fighter in Super Smash Bros history is joining the battle

[@connorpendlebury3931]

Indeed. Absolutely every Super Smash Bros. fighter ever is in this game, whether they were originally DLC or only appeared once in the past.

[@averagerealcommenter415]

We believe that's what players want, so we made the impossible possible.

[@yn8789]

Any way you slice it, this one has the most Smash for your buck.

[@Nathan11107]

Simply put, this is the biggest crossover in gaming history. Once again, worlds will collide.

[@mmmmine5439]

2:03 those drums!

[@Thelegendking]

Those trumpets, you can just hear the pride and power that comes with then at the "colors weave into a spire of flames"

[@unorganizedorganization3398]

In my opinion, with each new upload of the beta version of the menu theme, it gets slightly better. It's my favorite version of the menu theme. Although, I don't know if it's just me, but... It seems like each upload of the beta version has a little something that the other one might not have, like I'll hear an instrument here that I probably won't hear in someone else's upload of the beta theme or vise versa. So hopefully in the future, I'll get to hear the perfect version of the beta menu theme having no missing instrument or being a low quality or something. Anyway, this one here is really nice and so close to perfection for me, thank you for uploading it.

[@pikachu896]

Yeah, I end up hearing new instruments with each new version as well, probably thanks to the increased audio quality. I really hope we get a high quality version from Nintendo one day, or at least some kind of leaked rip or something.

[@megasoniczxx]

Oh man, when the choir comes in and its backed by that guitar and drums I just, UGH! Why the heck would they replace, this sounds so much better?

[@YellowRabbitNotHere]

In my opinion they could use this as a secret song you could get if you get every character, spirit, dlc and boom you get this

[@Vinthechad]

That first 32 seconds was hype as fuck. Smash Bros knows when to have catchy menu themes

[@chain_links]

If the final version is the one that plays in a hypothetical Wii U version of Ultimate, then this would be the one for the 3DS version

[@TheNewMouse2023]

That Guitar part is Amazing!!!

[@DeNuggetinator]

Hmm.... I don't know about you, but this version sounds like the ULTIMATE menu theme!

[@BackstabStudios12]

i just hope this will be officially released one day

[@WhatAmISupposedToWriteAgain]

With Nintendo?? Doubt it :(

[@Akrenix]

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@sixarmedpsycho_9]

The beta version always hypes everyone up. And this is no exception. Back in June 12th, 2018, almost all of us lost it when Smash Bros. Ultimate was bringing back every single character from every single Smash game, and bringing back *some* of the best features we've always admired. However, Smash isn't perfect, and most of us can agree to that point where Sakurai literally added Preferred Rules, an online feature that attempts to matchmake you with other people with similar Preferred Rules adjustments. Nonetheless, Smash truly is an *ULTIMATE* game, bringing us the joy and excitement like no other Smash game did. Thank you for reading this long comment.

[@Seedonator]

i think the bass and drums here are better but the final version strings and trumpets sound way better. tho the guitar at 1:17 is awesome

[@MtnDewD0g]

Bass and Electric Guitar are arranged way better Also, the choir.

[@AxeIRad]

I love both versions, just mix them and you get the perfect one

[@Crystal_l_l_l]

This is amazing. Teh default is too. Overall, they are equally good.

[@idfk5799]

THANK YOU I BEEN TRYING TO SEARCH THIS SINCE 2019 😭🙏🏼

[@Tharp3r]

SAME

[@Gonebutstillhere]

Why do beta musics always sound amazing than the final music?!

[@B0UB3RT]

I don't know. The beta is alway better.

[@Gonebutstillhere]

A.P. GAMING yeah I know

[@Sackboy612]

Nah, I preferred the beta a lot more initially, but it sounds so tinny and unfinished if that even makes sense? Well I guess because it's a midi version

[@dulgor3438]

because you're already used to the final product

[@Thelegendking]

Well, the final product had a key change, and you can't go wrong with that.

[@gavincunningham6207]

This is the best Smash Ultimate theme I've ever heard

[@Raddkann]

I love this version so much it brings a tear to my eye

[@fredmeyer1044]

let's be real, this and the E3 2018 main theme are probably gonna end up in the next game like the Melee intro theme did just because of the demand

[@MtnDewD0g]

The electric guitar sounds sooo much better here

[@Willchannel90]

More fighters in the game itself an updates, for more fighters, new challenges, better story mode and fighters outfits in Smash bros updates. - Any member in audience believe they making updates after their franchises what they planned.

[@morcatna4767]

I like how the strings and horns sound in this version better than the official one ;^)

still better than the one we got

I'm hoping they add this, the main theme from the Everyone is Here trailer and battlefield's beta themes after they finish the DLC fighters, just to maybe wrap things up for the finale, maybe.
