Goku for Smash 5? I say YES!

No, the point seems to be you making up excuses to attack people for differing opinions.

 

So he can be anime and manga, but he can't be all three? The anime didn't have a simultaneous release with the manga, so to say he can be anime but not video game in spite of the first game releasing less than a year after the anime and having MORE appearances in video games than in anime seems a bit stubbornly backwards.

 

1. See my previous point. Starting in one medium doesn't disqualify recognition in another. That's something you've already agreed to by classifying Goku as anime and manga.

 

2. There's literally an entire generation of westerners whose first experience with Goku was largely in video games. Not only that, but the video games kept the franchise aloft for quite a long time.

 

3. Frodo's not a very good example. The character was introduced decades before TVs even existed, whereas Goku's debut was practically simulataneous across the three mediums. And he just simply hasn't had the same presence in gaming that Goku has. 

 

Oh, and also, that would include you and your opinion as well. I don't suppose you thought that through, though. Hmm. HMMM.

1. Goku is a manga character, i said anime because you were comparing VG vs Anime instead of VG vs Manga. 

2. Basically, this doesn't change what i said, Dragon Ball manga and anime are simply more popular.

3. Frodo IS a good exemple, The amount of time is just an excuse, and it's bullshit. The fact is, he appeared in much more video games than books, and has a better ration than Goku.  Not having the same presence is also an excuse.

Not really, it's not my opinion that Goku is a manga character first, that's a fact.

Again, it's not that i'm completely Goku being in Smash, what i hate is doing an exception because some selfish fanbase want a certain character in but will refuse other characters even though those have the same reasons for being in.

1. So he's JUST a manga character now? I suppose you'll just have to be a minority in that line of thought.

 

2. Care to provide non-feelings evidence to confirm that?

 

3. He's really not, and it really isn't. You can get mad and deny clear and obvious differences in circumstance, but that'll only continue to make you look unreasonable.

 

And I'm not saying Goku isn't an anime or a manga character. I'm saying his continued and persistent presence in video games over an extended period of time (even outpacing his timing in his other mediums) awards him the third notch on his title. He's a manga, anime, and video game character.
