So I may not have a switch, but I do like smash music so I felt like taking a look at whatever came out those days, and when you extract the romfs of the game, you'll be greeted by one big data.arc. I have been working on this tool to start dealing with that file:
https://github.com/FIX94/ssbu-arc-extract
See the README at the bottom for details and the "releases" tab for a compiled executable.
If you just want the music and videos, you just have to drop into the same folder as the data.arc file of the game, run it, and wait for it to put lots of files into separate "lopus" and "webm" folders, 1357 .lopus files and 97 .webm files to be exact. The .lopus music files can be played back with any player that has the vgmstream plugin installed.
The .webm video files should just work in any standard video player, I tried it in mpv and they all seem to work just fine. Fun fact about those video files, some actual contain multiple audio tracks for both japanese and english voices that you can switch in whatever player you're using. I have no clue where names are located in the data.arc for the .webm files so they'll just be numbered sequentially by my tool.
If you want to extract other files, then for now you will have to hand over the tool a full filepath to extract, as there right now is no way that I have found to get the filenames directly out of the file because they are all hashed, so this tool takes your inputted filename, hashes it and extracts it based on that. Also, when you want to then later replace a file, you can call the tool and use "replace" in front of that path and it will try to inject it into the data.arc. See the github README for some example paths and much more details on the modes.
