I’m with Kanta, I enjoy him for his superiority thing, and his mix-ups.
He also serves as comic relief because of the silly things he says and does at times.
I sub Ken for the same reasons, he’s a cocky asshole, and he has mix-ups.
I play Seth because he’s like the only character that “clicks” with me, and it’s just super fun to play him. Plus he’s just too damn bad ass.
The only reason I play Seth is how I can walk macho style after SPD or back throw. Extreme badass.
Also tons of tools and mix up stuff keeps me rolling and his playstyle just fits pefectly (have an answer in many positions and ranges).
I play Seth cause rehash characters are boring. With a new SF game I excepted alot more new characters, and outta of the 8 new faces to the series, Seth is the most interesting new concept. While he’s heavily inspired from Urien, and his moves are borrowed from other characters, it doesn’t take away from his design. People hate him for being the boss, but I like him from not being a regurgitated character.
agreed with everyone. seth is a troll. fun to use. and i like showing that a low health character can still own with perfects. i love getting booted cuz im rockin the room in endless or ranked dudes not accepting rematches lol.
his background isnt much of a story… but his versus screen pic is the only pic that interests me. its like he has no soul. Plus i feel like my funny personality goes with this unique character. i like intimidating the other guy by just sitting there like my stick broke and then they dont know what to do. I also love doing the Terminator walk all the way till i corner them sometimes. lol
also… u can count the seth users cuz they are so little in amount compared to ryu etc.
if i lose a tourney i know i still made seth look good while doin it.
takes alot of patience and practice to master seth IMO cuz one screwup kills you despite when people call him cheap. hes not that cheap. Cheers to you fellow sethians! lol
lol

teleport @ 3:11
focus attack @ 4:43
and a whole lotta pokes throughout the match lol.
Well I definitely know more than grapplers (I do live near OnlineTony after all), although I also definitely don’t claim to be a know it all heh. The Seth changes I posted were just things that reasonable people told me and that I assumed were right, but maybe they’re not, I haven’t seen Seth in person yet. Sucks about the dive kick!
seth is badass and fun to use, he’s like toying with everyone with his stomps, and when he teleports he knows he’s cheating
Come on guys, the dive kick won’t be that bad. Be creative with it, I already see a good set of counter hit set-ups from this. Also if you haven’t seen [media=youtube]KUxBBH6YNHY[/media], apply this to the new nerfed dive kick and present mix ups.
These I deals work for all characters, but its best for grapplers like seth and abel.
The difference is Makoto was new and because she’d been slated so much as the worst character in the game no one had any experience with her (case in point; gamerbee’s adon)… Seth, everyone’s seen his tricks (for the most part), and now potentially what’s happened (still waiting to see on buffs) is he’s lost some of his abilities and that’s it. Seth has held his own in tournaments but never done amazingly, and now he will continue along the same path, but just do a bit worse than before, UNLESS something game changing is discovered with his new frame data.
But Yun is a monster that every character fears (for now).
I reckon AE Gen will be pretty much 5-5 from what I’ve seen. Gen has great pokes (even better in AE) and he has his meter gain back allowing for alot more fadc oppertunities (if you can execute them). Not to mention his AA can stuff divekicks pretty decently.
DUUUDE, are you kidding me? that kick he keeps poking with, it’s identical to far.MK.
THE BUFFED NORMAL. We might be onto something here.
I actually got Rise of the Robots when it was new on the 3D0 panasonic console >.>
loader was a bitccccch
i used to play that, gex, and road rash on that 3D0 alllll day
Not to mention his stance is similar. Looks like the range on crouching mk is nerfed though.
Some more things I have been told from Japanese friend that he read:
-Dive kick can be thrown on landing if hit too high
-Least used character right now in AE (?)
-U1 is preferred still
-Dive kick near mid body st.mp hit confirm srk works?
-Dive kick height restriction, can’t do it too low(? I don’t know if they mean it is higher now or if the person didn’t know how high before?)
Mostly people complaining how weak he is right now, not much else info wise.
I am still waiting for credible information sources though, these are only BBS posts and could all be scrubs. Don’t take this stuff as verified info.
OK Guys I Went TO family Fun arcade Today And News Is Very Good And Bad…
“”""""""""Seth’s Good Stuff
Health is Increased and Stun…
Seems Like Forward Punch PPP Teleport is like VANILLA!!!
Dive Kick Is Faster…
But Blocktstun of a light punch…if hit from high dive kick…u can still uppercut out of danger right afer…
U1 Is Still Like Super
Sonic Boom Recovery Time Decreased
LP SPD Got increased in range…or the same
Fierce Punch Shoryu Is Still God-like and beats everything still…
Legs Damage Increase
Seams Like LP Tandem Engine Has Less Recovery
This One Time I Tandem Engined And He Jumped At Me And I Recovered in time to block…but has to be lp version though
Everyother tricks from super are still there like cross up after SPD""""""""""""
“”""""""Seth’s Bad Shit
Stomps Only Hit On Buttons Pressed
…meaning Say If U Jump With instant stomp the hit will only be out for that 1 second
So U Have To Time Ur Stomps On Specific Characters Depending On Their Size…Like Guy for Instance…stomps have to be in different timing…
U2 can be ULTRA’D Back!!!
Not Comfirmed Yet But I Heard If Opponent’s Ultra Is Wasted Then U Can Still Chip With U2…
Other Than That U2 Still Combos The Same Way…
Jumping Fierce (Sim Arms) Is Gone
Replaced With jF fierce he already has…and still has good priority over other jumping normals…
Smaller Hit Box On Stomps But still Can Perform like Super…but needs timing""""""""""""""
“”""""""""""“My Opinion On Seth IS”""""""""""""""
I’m Gonna Miss The Back Fierce…punishing stupid jump ins and whiffed stuff…
i’m gonna have to start shoryuken punish jump ins a lot more…
Love His Dive Kick Speed…Way Faster Than Super…But Not As fast as Vanilla dive kick…
Hate his block/hit stun on dive kick but i can live with hit…
Stomps are different…but i adjusted easily on how they work…
still can do instant overhead stomp…only on normal/big characters…
not sakura, juri, cammy, and guy i think…
Matches Like Zangief , Honda, Balrog, and other matches where u have to run for bit…
no more j. FP…
but still winnable…
Seems Like This is a Slight Change…Something I Don’t Mind…I Was Having fun…
I Had a 9 and 15 Winning Streak with Seth…
Sucks That U2 Isn’t Broken No More…
Thats Pretty Much It…I Like His Changes A Bit…I Can Still Work With It…
“”""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""“YAY”"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
I Recorded Some Matches And I’ll Upload Them As Soon as I Can…
Thanks for the info Tony!
YES! See guys? I knew he’d be Good. Just have to time things alot better. I’m up for the challenge. Thanks Tony for being our mole.
I do have some q tho…
So ultra 1 doesn’t die against a fb?
Less recovery if they jump it to punish?
Enough hit recovery to vanilla boom into teleport?
finally some solid information. thanks tony
