As someone who doesn't pay attention to niche fighting games: Guilty Gear games are still being made? I thought they were a retro game or something. I think you're overestimating it's prominence. The only moden fighting games that come to mind as someone who has no interest in competitve play are Street Fighter, Mortal Combat (and Injustice), Smash Bros, and 2XKO. I'm don't have confidence to say that fighting games aren't growing, but the only news/attention I've seen for the genre since the launch of Street Fighter 6 has been a couple 2XKO trailers.

    Guilty Gear is now a multi-million seller when every previous game didn't even crack a tenth of that. Yes, what they did to Guilty Gear demonstrably worked. Tekken and Dragon Ball FighterZ are both huge. If I were a betting man, I'd say Marvel Tokon will do about as well as any of the other most successful fighting games out there.
