why would you think its gone lol, FGC interest tends to grow every year, especially during major release years.

in fact it's of the few communities where user demand is actually heard and met (e.g FreeMvC2 movement that spread during covid, gets a massive MvC collection announcement during the Switch Direct presentation this June.) Company relationships that have historically soured are back (Capcam and Marvel post MVCI, Capcom and SNK post SVC Chaos/CVS2 to thr point where Capcom introduces a guest character for the first time in mainline street fighter history. After previously lending Akuma for example in Tekken 7.

if anything, Fighting games have gotten bigger, and evo entrants generally show it

That fgc I'm referring to is mostly gone. Shin FGC is doing well no doubt.
