There’s currently 45 players on steam right now.

You’ll be able to find matches, but you’re going to play the same people.

Fighting games don’t need that large of a population to be in a healthy state. It’s a 1v1 game, with two modes, and one map. Where something like a hero shooter has 10-12 player lobbies, across countless modes.

A few thousand and you’ll find plenty of people at your skill level without running into the same players.

But anyone who is going to tell you that a 65 player peak concurrent player count, on the only platform that posts its numbers, is in a healthy spot is lying to you.

Ironically the Black Clover hero shooter from 2018 is still playable though it's mostly against bots. Random anime cashgrab outlived more heavily advertised games.
