I get it, Goku is not a video game character but this argument is such a cliché that i find it hard to take seriously anymore because we've known this for ages.

It's not a cliche, it's a reason.  And the reason doesn't go away with time.  I mean, the Chicago Bulls stubbornly refuse to give me a contract to be their center because I'm short.  They've known it for ages, but that doesn't make it a cliche.  I'd prefer to keep the roster to video game characters.  Expanding to 3rd party was fine because it just felt like all the more of an all-star event.

I mean, a part of mean wants the Hulk to be in the game (because... get it?), but opening up Smash to everything just makes it too big.

The "reason" for Smash 64 and Melee was that it was a brawl of Nintendo characters. The reason for brawl was that it was just a special little event bringing on unique third party characters. The reason for Smash 4 was that they're "celebrating" all of gaming history. 

Reasons deteriorate with time.
