Why any other 3rd-Party character would be in: because lots of people want (and have probably requested) him.

Personally, I don't care either way. I think it's a long shot.

Yeah, but Dragon Ball isn't even one of Namco Bandai's mascot brands. If they were going to get representation in this Smash entry it would be of one of their own properties like Pac-Man, Klonoa, and a Tekken character or something.
"I like the money it brings in, but Dragon Ball Heroes is the worst. That's actually the real reason I decided to start working on new material. I was afraid Bandai would make something irredeemably stupid like Super Saiyan 4 Broly." - Akira Toriyama, made up interview, 2013.

I remember Nintendo said before that they want video game characters only in Super Smash Bros. Namco Bandai working on the video game does not mean we will get a Dragon Ball character. After all, I never saw anyone asking or assuming if there will be Xenomorphs or Predators in Project X Zone because Project X Zone has Sega characters and Sega owns both of those two franchises :roll: .

If there's going to be any guest character from Namco Bandai it would be Pac-Man because he is the company mascot and he is one of the most popular video game characters. Not to mention he has a big history with Nintendo and he has crossover with Mario before.

While I would love for Goku to be in the game, thats something I'm not gonna kill myself over if its just a rumor because that does seem like a stretch and Smash Bros is already an awesome franchise.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

Personally I think if he is going to be in the game, make it Kid Goku, or make Goku an assist trophy.

Besides if you want to play as Goku in a game like smash bros, play Super Smash Flash 2 v.09

I rather not have Goku in the game. He started off as a manga character and having him in Smash Bros would feel so out of place. With Snake, he started off as a video game character and had a fair share of games on Nintendo systems.

I'd also hate to be subjected to his dub voice without being given the option to change it. :/

Good thing I prefer his dub voice then. :D

Although, now that I think about it, I think his appearance is actually very unlikely.

Why on Earth would a non-video game character be included in Smash Bros.? Really now, come on. Think about it.

If anything, I think it'd only be grunts and battle noises.

You've got a point. Pac-Man would be pretty awesome, too.

I think Pac-Man is likely to show up in the next game. The idea of Goku being in Super Smash Bros is a silly idea. I guess we should add Godzilla while we are it since Namco Bandai owns the merchandise rights to the character.

On Burst Limit all that Schemmel says is "Take this" every single fucking time, thankfully I changed to the original Japanese so I wouldn't have to hear him say it, or any English voices at all.

I'm not a fan of FUNimation's English dub Z/Kai so there's that.

Well, that`s not really Sean Schemmel`s fault.

It's his direction and the programmers that did that.

Or Phil in Kingdom Hearts II. 'Jump on the Hydra's back!' 'Jump on the Hydra's back!' 'Jump on the Hy-' 'I GET IT!' Uggghhhh.

I'm still really doubting this. I'm fine with some more third party video game characters (even Pac-man, depending on how they handle him, could be a fun addition), but I don't see the point of having Goku in there. Hell, I'd be more enthused to have a Dragon Quest character to be honest.

Or Sonic's friends "Look out it's a homing shot" or more useless information that NEVER HELPS and just makes the worst final modern sonic boss ever even more of a poor send off to the Sonic 21st anniversary game. Thank God for the bonus cutscene after the credits.

Although Schemmel's Goku "Take this!" is quite annoying, Silver the Hedgehog is even worse because if he catches you, there's nothing you can do and just listen to him saying "It's no use!" "Take this!", "How about this?!" and "This will end it!".

Silver the Hedgehog Vs. Sonic the Hedgehog - Sonic 06 the game isn't really actually all that bad once you know how to play it, people just tend to exaggerate.

Back on topic: Goku in a Super Smash Bros? Seems very unlikely, but in case it did I'd buy a Wii U for it (after it received another price drop because the console hardly has any games worth playing on).

Watch Clements review and you will know everything wrong with Sonic 06.

I also got a lot of laughs at his repeats. IDK why but I find his it's no use really funny. When you play as Silver you can do a Super Machine Gun Table Attack on Sonic.
