Question regarding hypothetical situation (regarding getting a job)

Hello, everyone, 

I have a quick question regarding a hypothetical situation. I've been working on my portfolio for a while now (my background is in academic art and have decided on using the skills I've learned to pursue character art).

I think I'll be done my portfolio soon, all the job postings I'm seeing from larger companies such as Ubisoft require a minimum of 2 or 3 years for a character artist position.

HYPOTHETICALLY (not saying I do), if an individual had a portfolio with similar quality as a professional such as Frank Tzeng or Raf Grassetti (but with on professional experience), would they still be denied a position with the company solely based on the fact they have no experience?

Thanks in advance!

    If you are that good you dont need any Studio experience to get hired.
    But its hard to impossible to get that good without working 200 days 8h a year as Character Artist.

    A Highend Char needs around 200+ Hours to finsh.
    How do you manage to get that "free time" during a normal day job.?
