Super Smash Bros. Ultimate x New-Japan Pro Wrestling

X    
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate x New-Japan Pro Wrestling is the name of the collaboration between Nintendo's crossover fighting game and the Japanese pro-wrestling promotion. Content from New Japan Pro Wrestling's roster and branding would appear in the game in the form of paid downloadable content, primarily at-the-time IWGP Intercontinental Champion "Switchblade" Jay White as a playable character as well as Tokyo Dome as a stage, spirits and music.
The promotional DLC was announced at the end of Wrestle Kingdom 14, with the DLC being released March 2020. Jay White would not be included in any specific Fighter Pass, being a 'bonus character' ala Piranha Plant.
==Challenger Pack==
As part of the Challenger Pack, the following content was added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Boxing Title 	The Cutthroat Leader
The leader of the Bullet Club, the Switchblade, Jay White is added as a playable character, labelled outside of the normal fighter numeration as number "BC-4". Jay White's appearance is based off his tenure as IWGP US Champion, though his alternate palettes are taken from all across his New Japan career. the real-life Jay White does the voice work for his smash inclusion in both English and Japanese, being one of the few characters to use the same voicelines in both language settings.
Jay White is a middlewieght grappler with a focus on burst damage and punishing. His run, walk and air speeds are all on the faster side but he is far from the most mobile fighter due to his lack of recovery moves. His strengths lie within his ability to kill quickly and rack up percentage just as quickly.
Gimmick: Heat Gauge
As a heel (a villanous pro wrestler), Jay White is spurred on by the hatred of the crowd. Throughout the battle, Jay White will fill up his "Heat Meter" through performing specific actions such as:
*Get up attacks (5%)
* Attacking opponents from behind (10%)
* Attacking teammates in team Battles with friendly fire enabled (10%)
* Stealing items from other characters and attacking them with it (this includes Diddy's banana and Link's bomb) (30%)
* Taunting, especially after a kill (50%, 75% if shortly after a kill)
The heat meter applies a passive knockback bonus through the formula of bonus=[heat/10].
When crowd cheers occurs during a fight, Jay White's cheers are altered depending on his heat gauge.
* 0% - 10: Regular cheering
* 11-50%: Battling chants of "Let's go Switchblade!" and "Switchblade sucks!"
* 51-100%: Rapturous booing.

Kiwi Crusher キウイクラッシャーJay White grabs his opponent in a headlock and hooks their leg, lifting them up and spinning them around to drop them head-first onto the ground. This deals no knockback, laying the opponent out like Solid Snake's down throw but deals heavy damage. It is dampered by heavy start-up lag and for its long animation, which can be detrimental in multi-man fights.
 
 	
Blade Runner ブレードランナーJay White hooks his arm over his opponent's neck, leaning them down onto his knee and dragging his finger across their neck before swinging back to slam them to the ground. This has a very unique arc, throwing the opponent backwards at a steep angle towards the floor before they meteor-smash into the air. This move uses up the Heat Gauge, and uses a different formula to calculate it's knockback bonus (bonus=[heat*5]).
 
 	
Euro UppercutアッパーカットJay White dashes forward with a vicious uppercut. This deals little knockback or damage compared to his other specials but moves horizontally a fair bit. In the air he moves diagonally upwards, making this his best move for recovering from off stage.
 
 	
Snap Suplex サプレックスJay White hooks his opponent into a suplex and falls back suddenly, swinging them backwards. If done against a wall they will be "planted" against it, giving Switchblade ample time to chain in another move
 
 	
 Last Chance Saloon 打ち負かすJay White drags his thumb across his neck before grabbing a knife and lunging forward. If he hits, the screen goes all back with the Bullet Club logo fading in. This transitions to the targeted opponent standing in the center of a Bullet Club-branded ring, confused. Jay White jumps out of the shadows to hit him with a Blade Runner, bouncing him into the air as Bad Luck Fale, the G.O.D. and El Phantismo appear with steel chairs to beat the crap out of em as Jay White poses on the turnbuckle. Another Bullet Club logo transition brings it back to the actual game, with all the damage catching up on the unlucky target and sending them flying.

The Tokyo Dome the stage that comes with Fighter Pack BC-4. The Tokyo Dome has promoted their annual Wrestle Kingdom events in the illustrious Tokyo Dome since 1992. It's a massive arena with combat primarily taking place inside the wrestling ring. Fighters can stand on the top rope, with them acting like invisible platforms. The area outside the ring is accessible, with the elevated ring serving as a ledgeless wall on either side. While a walk-off, the stage is unusual as barriers prevent fighters from actually walking off, with them having to go over to get to the blast zones.
