Yep, the +150 stun is the only buff I’ve found remotely noticable. Still think it’s unreasonable to have less health than Akuma.
fuck capcom for making seth so much worse i thought AE seth was gonna be ok after looking at the list of buffs and nerfs but fuck that once i played him i realized how terrible they made him shit was depressing i want my secretly broken Vanilla Seth back…fuck!!
agreed with everything he said
ok so seth sucks now right?
Yes. Half the match-ups involve Seth having to bully his opponent into the corner in order to even try starting anything. He isn’t intimidating though, and having the lowest health in the game (still) doesn’t really help when you’re trying to get in. Dive kicks are honestly kind of crappy now. You either whiff into command grab or hope your opponent doesn’t realize that you jumped at a certain angle to combo off of it. When you can zone, you basically will be running away a lot more because you can’t do shit about the “fuck you zone” that Seth has now other than walk back. And honestly, if your opponent isn’t retarded, you can probably forget about your Ultra. Might as well just pretend he doesn’t have it.
You can still win with Seth, but you’ll generally have to work a lot harder than others would.
Seth has always had to work a little harder though, the hardest thing for seth players will be learning the new character specific stuff because it will be necessary to stay competitive.
i like AE seth… a lot ._.
so much that I dropped bison to main him
good shit to poongko taking shadowloo showdown!

Shoutouts to throw tech traps.
AE Seth better than Super Seth for sure now.
Yeah, that wasn’t Poongko. That was all Seth buffs, real talk. Did you see how often Poongko was using that new technology that the buffs introduced? Why, one time he whiffed a combo because of the new dive kick hit stun and lost a match. Total mind fuck on his opponent, it led to his victory.
On another note, it seems EX legs does 120 damage and 250 stun. Terrible trade off imo, wish they would have just did 130 damage and 200 stun. edit: Actually that would make it worse than Hard legs, but it does go through fireballs…
Yeah, Poongko hasn’t been playing 12 hours straight, 7 days per week of this game at all lately. Nah.
Good shit to Poongko, for taking it with a mid-tier. Fuck 'em up, son.
You post like it didn’t matter if he used Seth or not. Truth is he stuck by the character with all the changes and took it to the stage. Real talk.
Yes, that is true. What I was trying to say is that does not make AE Seth better.
And how does this prove that Seth is better in AE?
Truth: he isn’t.

The world is doomed.
Really nice stuff from Poongko. Good job, man.
Shoutouts to Mike Ross for eliminating Mago. Nice to know that nerfed characters can still win.
waiting for the idiots to shout “omg nerf seth he is tow geewd”
nah jk Poongko is the shit I’m happy for him the guy is a stud
he literally is like seth when he plays he just does one tanden enginge and then he has read all your data
I think the main thing that differentiates Poongko from us, the general Seth players, is that he doesn’t give a fuck about risk/reward, and if he does, he look at 50/50, and acts like it’s a 10/90 risk/reward.
It makes him super hard to read.
He lives by just do it, sometimes I wish I could.
he says am experienced enough to knw when to dp the fuck outta opponent and also because if u block opponents mixups u r guaranteed to get fuck so y not gamble,and 10 outta 9 times those gambles work,they really do…which makes his opponents to eat/block alot of shit and allows poongko to continue his momentum,i think the way poongko plays the seth is the right way to play seth,he is a momentum character,who shud just turtle for a safe knockdown,but i doubt if anyone can read the opponent like poongko does,he sure has alot more experience of 50/50 mixups then all others,his footsie experience is questionable though.
