The 'Goku in Super Smash Bros' meme stems from one of the most persistent requests in the gaming community. Since the franchise's inception, fans have debated whether non-video game characters like Goku should be added to the roster, leading to a massive wave of 'leak' culture. Fans create convincing fake splash screens and trailer edits showing the legendary Saiyan warrior finally joining the fight. While series creator Masahiro Sakurai famously stated that only characters originating from video games qualify for the official roster, the meme thrives through game mods and 'Challenger Approaching' parodies. It is widely used to represent impossible crossovers, fan-wish fulfillment, or the sheer absurdity of internet gaming rumors.
