"It has [thing] I like" is just about the number one reason most people stick with a game. Any fighting game I played for longer than a few months were because it had a character I really liked, core mechanics I liked or at least the core mechanics were good enough to not repel me.

I eventually dropped those older fighters when their playercount became discord tier and my friends stopped playing them.
None of my friends stuck with Rising, so when Rising also drops to discord fighter status and all I can get are 150ms matches, I will also begrudgingly shelve it and probably go a couple years without a main fighting game I launch every day.
