At first, I thought Injustice being at EVO was unfair for SG, but it's only logical: right now Injustice is popular, so putting it among the main games will bring them more viewers, so more money. They allowed 1 game to be fan-chosen, Melee won. For the others they do as they like, and it's OK.

I thought people would get this already. EVO runs on hype and will throw any AAA fighting game into it the year it comes out for the sake of hype. They did it with Tatsunoko VS Capcom, they did it for MvC3 and Ultimate, they did it for SFxT, and they did it for the Mortal Kombat reboot.
