Normally yes, but this is EVO.
It's impossible to answer this question without a clear date for her release.
But generally speaking, I am okay with the CPT rule of 1 week; people put too much emphasis on the "but what if someone finds broken tech with the new character and roll on everybody", when what usually happens is that people don't have enough experience with said character to be competitive at the highest level and just choose someone else. And it's not the 90s anymore where techs are kept secret...
Look at how much time Alex took to appear in tournaments.
See how Guile is only starting to show, thanks to ChrisG and nobody else for the moment.

Because it's fun, and if you lose to someone's two week character then that is on you (assuming she doesn't have any broken stuff).

My bad, I assumed Evo was a CPT premier event
I got it 20% cheaper on PC through GreenManGaming *shrug*
If I had known what a fuck up their zenny shop implementation was going to be as well as how shit the majority of premium dlc alts were I would never had bothered. I thought they were going to be on the level of the pre order ones....

It seems the same device allows him to teleport.

Does any real sport ban players because he/she is new and the opponents need to watch tape or practice before? I'll never get this ban characters cause its new stuff. Should only ban if someone starts using a exploit.
Two weeks is more than enough time according to CPT rules.
Edit:
He was a hidden character on Street Fighter the Movie Arcade! I guess him and Cap. Sawada make the Movie canon, thenArkane

While your sports comparison is pretty stupid, let's compare something like e-sports which is more comparable.
Whenever Dota 2 gets a new hero (or rather is ported from the original DotA), it's not available in Captain's Mode which is the standard format for all tournament play. It is available for people in public matches and for general play, but not for tournament play. They're kept there until Valve is sure that most if not all game-affecting bugs and balance work has been done.
Even when a hero gets reworked, they're usually taken out of the pool temporarily.
EDIT: The more time you spend against certain characters, the more strategies you figure out, both against them and with them.
Assuming Ibuki has no clearly broken stuff or crazy unbalanced tech, a lot of stuff probably won't get figured out in the short timespan of 2 weeks. Yes, it gives Ibuki pickers a disadvantage that they only have 2 weeks of experience with the character, but it also gives them an advantage as their opponent might not have as much experience playing against her or have knowledge of her tech.
Personally, I don't think she should be playable. If it was 1 month, maybe. But not 2 weeks.
It is, but EVO kinda goes by its own rules since it's one of the biggest fighting game tournaments in the world (up there with the Capcom Cup).

If only their incompetence made me better at the game somehow. Sigh.
I had a good Alex run yesterday at least. Back to it when I get home today.
Lol thought fgc was eat sports.

It's the poverty e-sports but we'll get there one day.
EDIT: Speaking of e-sports, remember when 801 Strider Popped off when he triple-perfected an 8-year old at EVO.

if you suddently get unusual long wait you gotta stop the queue briefly to get out of the void. this will help in my experience, at least most of the time.
Yeah, happened to me yesterday.
Got one match that got cancelled on the "connecting..." phase, and then 3 minutes of nothing. Cancelled the search, enabled it again, and found a match in the next 20 seconds...

Got matched up with a Ryu. He RQ
Got matched up with another Ryu. He RQ.
Got matched up with the second Ryu again. He RQ.
Got matched up with a Mika. He RQ.
Oh goodie.

The Mika was on casual.

Well to be fair, I was taunting quite a lot when I got matched up with the RQing Ryu again.
btw, love the new avatar. See you've joined the Overwatch Brigade.
Thanks, I'll try that next time I start hearing the tail end of the first menu song.
Dropping in casuals is a mystery to me. There's literally no upside. You can't see the stats screen, so you don't even know your win/loss ratio. There's no rank involved, you can't lose anything for losing in casuals. In fact, the game gives you a bit of XP, which you don't get by dropping. Which makes getting that 1000FM level bonus process even slower. So dropping in casuals is actually a bigger detriment than taking the loss.

oh yeah still temped to AFK light kick my way to level 50 for that last costume, lol
It'll be a long ass time before I get my Alex to level 50. I exclusively use him, and I'm still only around level 36.
Don't worry, rage quits are down 60%. Please to be happy.

I'm at level 49 with Bison. I got matched against somebody with Color 15 and it changes his hair to blonde. This makes it unusable lol.

Yeah, I just play casuals now. I couldn't care less about points, I just want a complete match, the ability to replay it (can't replay if they RQ) and FM.
Also it's fun seeing people's game change once they realize that even though it says I'm Silver, my actual skill level is significantly above that. I almost want to drop down to Bronze and really send people for a loop.
Why does that matter?

Man, it feels like battle lounges have a mind of their own. Sometimes I get great connections with people, then a literal slideshow the next. Random disconnects and occasional lag just happens all the time.
So freaking annoying.
So freaking annoying.
I got frustrated with the rank up / rank down cycle that I was stuck at for weeks. It was disheartening, I was happy to get away from it, and I'd hate to go back. Then again, I won't know if it was a lucky break or if I genuinely improved until I go back.
On another note, something I noticed. The game rarely gets "stuck" at the matchup screen anymore. I remember constantly staring at the Earth for 10, 20 seconds sometimes before the fighters would load, or sometimes the game hangs at the "white flash" before the match starts. Hasn't happened in a while. Maybe they fixed that.

Still happens quite a lot for me.

I've stopped caring about any SFV thread on the gaming side.
No matter what its originally about, its almost always turns out the same way. The same things said, the same posters show up, etc.
You might as well pick one SFV thread and just reread it every other week or so

JCVD Guile's CA would be rad. First, he's gonna get on his boat, and he's going up-river...
And then he times you out with his long ass speech of glory

Doomed? Nah.
But it certainly is a clusterfuck at this point.
Ibuki being shown off on CPT and yet we have to wait for the update, which should've been before this past Wednesday, really bugs me. If she's good enough to demo on various streams, why do we have to wait until late June again? Makes me saltier than I already am on a daily basis. XD
