Goku for Smash 5? I say YES!

While it's true Sakurai could change his mind, an eleven year-old email response (which is not the only time this issue has been addressed, mind you) is more compelling evidence than someone's opinion about what makes someone qualify as a video game character. Superman and John Madden should be a lock for Smash next, then.

Except the entire point of this thread is that Funimation called for it. EA didn't call for John Madden, and Warner didn't call for Superman. Granted Funimation doesn't own Goku, only licensing rights, it's still not an apt comparison to suggest that character or that person for Smash.
