Extract text from Game mod archives (SSZ)
To convert SSZ Archives to another format, you need Saint Seiya: Soldiers' Soul or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Mod Archive / Script" file type, you need software like Saint Seiya: Soldiers' Soul or a similar tool.
The .SSZ extension is a classic example of file format ambiguity, primarily serving two distinct gaming ecosystems that treat data very differently.
Most commonly, an .SSZ file is a game data archive used in Saint Seiya: Soldiers' Soul. While these files serve as containers for character models, textures, and audio, the proprietary extension often prevents standard archivers from recognizing them. This is a common headache for modders who simply want to access the assets inside. In reality, these are often just masked ZIP files. The most practical conversion workflow is treating them as standard archives: converting (or renaming) them to ZIP allows immediate access via 7-Zip or WinRAR.
Alternatively, within the open-source fighting game community, .SSZ refers to script files used by the Ikemen GO engine. These are plain text files containing logic for the "Alpha" scripting language. The problem here isn't extraction, but interpretation; standard text editors open them, but without syntax highlighting, the code is difficult to manage. For editing, converting these to TXT or opening them directly in a code-aware editor like Visual Studio Code is best.
For obscure legacy hardware, an .SSZ might be a firmware package for PSS installers. These should generally be converted to BIN or left untouched to avoid bricking devices.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our SSZ converter.
