MLG working on getting rights to more fighters, "It takes FOREVER for MLG to get rights."

With the word of MLG Anaheim ringing in our ears, especially with the possibility of Injustice: Gods Among Us and Killer Instinct being in the mix... can you say "hype!"? We must give MrAdamAp, EVP of MLG Properties credit for responding to all of the fan tweets requesting their games i.e. Injustice and Killer Instinct, to be at MLG. In recent tweet from today, Adam expressed his frustration in a good way explaining that they can't just run a game like a local event. They have to obtain the rights for those games before they can announce anything. And according to Adam, it takes MLG "FOREVER" to get the rights they need.

This would explain why players usually always have a gripe or two about the late announcements. Meaning, say MLG announces Injustice at an event in June but can't announce this until late April or May... it leaves little time for playing to plan, especially if they're flying.

Regardless, this isn't going to stop the fans from flipping out (in a very good way) concerning their game at MLG when and if it's announced!

I wonder if mlg has reached out to nrs capcom aid msoft (for ki). I am honestly hoping they can work something out . I can't see why nrs won't do it being they did it with mk9 then again maybe it's time warner that's causing the issue. A Fighting game mlg with ki, sf; injustice & smash will be so hyped! ! I am crossing my fingers for injustice :)

    @MrAdamAp @GGA_Dizzy it's not about showing up. It's about having time to prepare TO show up.

Looks like CD is just trying to make sure MLG can get the most participants it can. There could probably be more people showing up with 6 months notice than 2 months.
