Sentinel before the patch and Phoenix were broken in a lot of ways back in MvC3 but no one banned them. Sure we cried patch but banning was never a serious option.

There are only a couple of banned characters that are banned because they are broken, most of them are boss characters, like Ivan Ooze, ST2 Akuma etc... but Kokonoe was the only non boss character was banned because she was above and beyond the rest of the cast easy, and inescapable resets in the corner that allows her to kill in 2-3 combos that you can't stop at all.
TL;DR: FGC only bans mainly boss characters, besides BBCP Kokonoe

The look of disgust on Yipes' face right now is priceless.
Has Kokonoe actually been banned for SCR yet? I haven't kept up.
Also, didn't Alex say they were going to ban Spinal at SCR because of a game breaking glitch that pop ups up playing against him sometimes? That's another, kind of obvious, example of when a character would be banned (or when a exploit would be banned like the Quicksilver thing in Marvel).

Dhalsim was banned on my SNES. Stretchy limbs were cheating.
Aren't bosses kind of out of the question? They are purposely designed to be utterly broken but are playable so the player can have fun.
Hundred Hands Slap was met with screams of frustration and yells of "THAT'S NOT FAIR!"

Not always. Sometimes boss characters aren't all that strong, and sometimes the players decide that the boss characters add enough variety to justify being used anyway. Also, in more recent fighting games, boss characters have a reasonable version that can be used in VS mode.

You are right but I was talking in a general sense. It's nice that companies are making bosses reasonable in versus mode.
Sentinel was never broken even with 1.3 million HP.
Watching these KI pools makes me wish KI didn't have a $500 price of entry.

Oh, I see. Well, the general rule is that anything goes until it drags the entire game down, so playable bosses are put in the same category as any other character until they start to centralize the game. It's been that way for ages, really. They're mainly there to mess around with, like you mentioned, but sometimes they're just too fun to leave out of tourneys or general play.

bifu and sp00ky are both constantly stuttering for me for last 15 mins or so.
same here. Glade this didn't happen during AGDQ, evo, or some other mega hype event (for me anyways)
try to open another stream. thats where the pronblem id. spooky is fine, but nothing else loads/off and on
Same here except all my streams are gone. (europe)
Yup, sp00ky is fine but every other stream doesn't load. Guess I'm not turning sp00ky's stream off for the rest of the day lol
The only thing that loads for me is the Enders Game Starcraft II tournament.
Dunno i just read the playpokemon thread and people have trouble there also. Was watching top 8 persona
edit: after 10 min of refreshes i got spooky load but i want to watch kick punch block

Yeah, that's what I get when I try to watch Bifuteki today. Spooky is working for me though.
Also my list of followed channels only sometimes loads.

I like how the character Brian is most famous for is by far the most useless on his team.
