But then how are some characters affected by droughts of games (or loads of bad games) more than others? Sonic suffers under the weight of so many bad games, so do the Resident Evil characters, and Gordon Freeman reverts back to fodder after Half-Life 3 gets postponed indefinitely plus Metal Gear characters dropping after their franchise is killed, but then Crono is still good with only a single game appearance to his name and Samus is top tier despite her series being effectively dormant in the 2010s.

I think it really depends on the character we're talking about.

For example, Crono remaining solid makes sense considering his game hasn't been forgotten; on the contrary, it's stronger than ever. If it received a really bad sequel, though, he could be highly susceptible to some damage, as with pretty much every character (except Sonic, for some reason).

Also, female characters in general (especially attractive ones) have become stronger or more popular lately. You can see it with Samus, Tifa, 2B, etc (can't wait to see Shanoa in action!).
