Quote: StevemacQIf people demand Goku to be in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, then they might as well add The Evil Queen/Regina Mills from OUAT, Louis Litt from Suits, Misha Miramond from Transformers: Energon/Superlink, Dennis Reynolds from It's Always Sunny, Grumio from Plebs, Salvador Dali, the Sonic from the 2019 Sonic movie and whoever's considered the protagonist of The Shoe People. They all make as much sense as Goku in Smash.
Except Goku actually has had a game on Switch fairly recently and he actually fights and would fit in in smash because he likes fighting. Goku in smash actually makes sense because he is relevant to the gaming community (that was just about all there was in the continued Dragonball franchise for a while) and there is an actual demand for him.
There are a lot of characters who would work in smash. How about Jibanyan? He could even have Paws of Fury, his soultimate move, be his final smash. He could then take a nap or eat chocolate and look at one of his Next Harmeowny picture books as his victory pose. There would be a hidden joke right there for those who watched the Japanese version of the anime (I'm NOT making this up- it's in the Hidabat episode.). Jibanyan is a much more interesting and entertaining character than any Pikachu in the entire Pokemon franchise. If they wanted to, they could also have his alternate colors be other cat Yokai with very similar movesets. There would be so much material they could add from the Yokai Watch franchise that would make the gameplay of Smash Ultimate even richer than it already is. They could even gradually add in Yokai assist trophies. I can't help but wonder what Pit would say about Jibanyan. It would probably be god tier hilarious.
