The Halloween Captain

In Japan, the Street Fighter character Akuma is softbanned, as well as the character "Old Sagat" to a lesser extent. So far, it is believed that softbans do not exist in America, as we choose to exploit everything to it's fullest potential.
Is that a true statement, though?
Although one thinks of MK, a character which many Brawl players frown upon as a choice of main, he really isn't softbanned. He may become softbanned or remain the same depending on community sentiment.
HOWEVER, Pit seems like an unofficially softbanned Brawl character. The people who play Pit are often frowned upon for choosing such a spammy character. While still more popular in tournaments than Pokemon Trainer, many players dislike when Pit appears in tournament play, calling his moves "spammy," "campy," and among the lesser players, "cheap."
Do americans "softban" characters, and for what reasons? Is Pit unofficially softbanned, and/or are there other somewhat softbanned characters?
