Back when Smash first came to Evo, it was either Melee or Brawl. The Brawl community was small (because Melee was considered the better game, which is fair enough) but Nintendo would only endorse the event if Evo pushed Brawl as the definitive game. The compromise was that they featured Melee and Brawl.
Now we're in this weird situation where we have Smash 4 and Melee, and though a sizeable chunk of the Smash community is willing to play the latest game, there's still a persistent wing that insists that Melee is the only Smash game for competitions and they won't "move on". Of course, the whole experience taught Nintendo how much their endorsement is worth, so presumably that's why Pokken is going to be there.
Presumably Capcom did something similar with SFIV/V.
Part of me wants to see the Smash community rift resolved, so they can rally under one game, like the Street Fighter community did with IV (some people are still bitter about 3s being left behind, but fortunately most people got with it).
