I'm not quite sure with what's going on in the Melee community but Armada has followed PPMD into retirement, M2K himself looks like he'll focus a lot of time into Ultimate going by his recent content, Mango and Hbox are both having personal issues in trying to be consistent with the latter saying he's reducing his time with the game, Mango juggling his personal life and Hbox with mental health/depression, Leffen is focusing on other games like DBFZ.
Much like with Ken before hand the era of the 5G seems to be entering a twilight, the game will live on but I'm not sure if it can as big with out its usual icons that's the problem in a community the centres on a few elite players. Street Fighter may have had the 5 Gods of Japan but the community wasn't centre around them in the same fashion how Melee tends to centre on key figures of the era (first with Ken then the 5 Gods of Melee).
