There is no rule anywhere that says Smash can only contain characters that originated on a Nintendo console (obvious) or that they originated in a video game. Goku is a pop culture figure, regardless of the level of downplay from some other people here and there on the internet. It makes sense to include Goku if they want to continue expanding the roster outside of their original purview. Hell, perhaps they will give us an announcement at E3 that DBFZ is coming to the Switch... and that Goku is gonna be in that AND Smash.
