People do this because:Why does some people want some characters that did not originated from a video game like, Kirito & Asuna, Goku, Shrek, Miraculous Ladybug characters etc. Won't they even know that these characters did not start in a video game?
Personally I don’t get why people want anime characters and characters from other media too appear in Super Smash Bros, I mean I’m a big fan of anime myself but I wouldn’t want any anime characters to appear in the game since Super Smash Bros it‘s meant to be for characters that originated in video games only. I mean if people want a anime crossover fighting game we already have games like Jump Force.Why does some people want some characters that did not originated from a video game like, Kirito & Asuna, Goku, Shrek, Miraculous Ladybug characters etc. Won't they even know that these characters did not start in a video game?
You said it again.Honestly if the character doesn’t originate from a video game I don’t want to see them in Super Smash Bros
OK, but seriously though, I feel like this is a rule destined to be broken eventually. Maybe not in Ultimate but some future SSB. We have already seen it bent by technicalities & non-playable characters:Why does some people want some characters that did not originated from a video game like, Kirito & Asuna, Goku, Shrek, Miraculous Ladybug characters etc. Won't they even know that these characters did not start in a video game?
What do you mean "destined to be broken eventually" so do you want characters that originated from a video game enter smash, then it won't be smash at all, don't forget, after SSBU, I don't think there will be future smash bros anymore, cause Sakurai needs a break.OK, but seriously though, I feel like this is a rule destined to be broken eventually.
Or Sora, Leon, Doomguy, Master Chief, etc.I'm with Danrye001 on this, they'll never run out of video game/Nintendo characters. I mean, shit, they still need to add Waluigi
But they did not originated from a video game.What what? But I want a fight between Dr House and Heisenberg.
There's the matter of creating excitement and hype with new characters. Ain't no one is gonna be saying "Holy shit I can't believe Waluigi got in!" With the same fervor as they did with Cloud or Banjo. Inevitably this means crossing some line that's never been crossed, dipping in a pool that's never been dipped in.I'm with Danrye001 on this, they'll never run out of video game/Nintendo characters.

There's a flaw to the Pokemon point. Remember, That franchise started as a game in 1995/96 in Japan with the anime releasing in 97. Thus they have jistification there and any subsequent appearance of a mon in Smash is one that you can legitimately catch in the games. It'd be different if they brought in, say, armored mewtwo skins or clone skins for the kanto starters and pikachu.OK, but seriously though, I feel like this is a rule destined to be broken eventually. Maybe not in Ultimate but some future SSB. We have already seen it bent by technicalities & non-playable characters:
Pokemon-Anime is an influence on what pokemon are playable, how else does one explain Jigglypuff? Pikachu has his anime VA. Misty's trophy in Melee had her wearing her anime outfit that was never in any game. Ash Ketchum is name dropped in an trophy in SSB4.
Kid Icarus-Hades, Medusa, & other gods originate from Greek mythology.
.
Castlevania-Dracula is from a novel & based on the real life Vlad the Impaler.
Sonic-Amy Rose & Charmy the Bee first appeared in a manga series before making the jump to games. Jury's also out on Cream, whom some Sega officials claim is a Sonic X creation.
Final Fantasy-Sephiroth's inclusion brought with him music & Cloud's limit break from Advent Children, which is a movie, not a game.
if "no non-game characters" was a strictly enforced rule, then none of the above should've ever actually been in the series, now should they?
Besides, Goku's VA also voices Lucario in Brawl, so I don't get what the big deal is. It's close enough.What makes all the difference here is that all those seemingly canon-foreigner elements originated from franchises that started off as video games.
Even if we were to ignore that, say, Amy and Charmy are better known today as video game characters, they’d still, theoretically, have clearance because they are from a work that ties into a game.
On the reverse side, Goku isn’t eligible for Smash even though he’s appeared in countless video games of his own, because his medium of origin is manga.
