It's the same pattern all over again. Shoryuken is just one of the places that always cries cheap and broken and then changes their tune afterwards.
They were the source of that Official call of broken for CvsS1 in saying that Nakoruru broke the game. Only to hold a tournament (which allowed all characters) and have the Shoryuken officially low-ranked Raiden, win the whole thing.
But that's not the only people or examples. KOF2k1 got slandered because so and so character had these infinites. Some people cried they were easy and I've never been able to do them well. Hard enough even if doing in practice mode. But lo and behold, noone would know they were broken with infinites in tournament. You end up seeing the exact teams that win the tournies and none of them have any of those members that had the infinites. Then you see the second rung of players, also none with infinites. Etc.
So, yep. I still agree with those who say its too early to tell. Sure, every game initially gets called for tiers and brokeness inn some way, but time always seems to reveal changes to the opinion. This wont change. I guarrantee, the next game that comes out, by anybody, will get the same treatment.
