Goku for Smash 5? I say YES!

Why not Chrono? At least he’s a similar looking video game character and not some obscure Japanimation character from the 60s or 70s.

Obscure (adj.):
1. not discovered or known about; uncertain.
2. not clearly expressed or easily understood.
3. not important or well known.
4. hard to make out or define; vague.

 Out of the two, Chrono is the one who better fits the definition of 'obscure.' Hell, half the Smash Bros. roster is obscure. Goku is a far more popular and recognizable character than Shulk, Pit, Lucina, Ness, Little Mac, Samus, or Captain Falcon will ever be. If you added him to the roster, he would be the most popular character in the game that's not Mario-related, Pokemon-related, or Pac-Man.

This statement comes after a thread was made about Latin Americans having live screenings of the latest episode of Dragon Ball Super that had as many as TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE watching it. 
One could make the case that he is more popular in other parts in the world like Latin America than in Southeast Asia. 

Also, like how you can say that people who have never played a video game in their lives know who Mario are Pikachu are, and people who have never read a comic book in their lives know who Superman is; We could very well reach the point, one day, where people who have never seen an anime or read manga in their lives will know who Goku is, if we haven't already.

Lucina, Shulk, Samus, and the others are all Nintendo characters. They’re supposed to be in Nintendo games about Nintendo characters. Not obscure Japanamation character from some even more obscure cult of 10,000 Americans who have decided to speak a dead language!
