You also forgot King of Fighters XV, which'll be out this year.
No, they're not on the decline, if anything, tournaments are gaining in popularity (and funding). SFV is a dumbass move by Capcom, but it's one of the foundation stones in the fighting game pantheon. Some folks may be turned off by it's launch, and I certainly am not rushing out to get it, but given 6+ months and it'll be up and running and probably worth the ~$40 price tag, at that point. And if not, I'll wait longer, or I'll just wait until SFVI (someone will fund it). KoF will tide me over, for sure. And maybe, just maybe, those dumb fucks will give me another Capcom vs SNK which is what I've been (not so) patiently been waiting for, for years.
The One and the Wii (and the NX) have their fighting game franchises as well, SSBB looked like people at the tourney's were enjoying it, likewise with KI and MKX...so yeah, no reason to think they're in a decline even if SFV stumbled.
