Seth-in-depth Match-up Thread

Backdash Tanden ftw

Haha boy i cant believe that didnt hit me sooner. Thanks!

Also, heres a question. Matchups I find difficult:

Bison, Abel, Vega, Rose (Kinda), Ryu (Kinda), Ibuki

What’re yours?

G U Y

saqs made me feel like I was playing Street Fighter for the first time when he destroyed me with Guy, but I find that a hard match whoever plays him. That and Claw, I have never felt comfortable when playing him and random EX isuna drop (or whatever its called) does so much damage. I get hit by that far to much.

Only bad matchups I feel for Seth are Ibuki, Cammy(I hate this bitch), Bison, Dudders, and Fei Long. Abel is 5-5 imo, who ever gets the knock down first usually wins, Abel does damage, but Abel is free on wake up, Vega is 6-4, You can zone Ryu with one button, and Ibuki is a whore.

Ahh yes, Dudley. Thats a difficult matchup for Seth for sure.

I feel Fei Long is kinda even due to zoning, but CW is godlike.

Guy- Easy Damage/Stun quick to Seth. Controls a lot of Mid-Screen/Dive Kick/Headstomp space.

Ibuki- OS Slide takes care of Seth’s predictable outs in Vortex. Lots of damage, great frame traps. Even when she’s behind, she’s ahead. There is almost no reason for her to walk or go backwards in this matchup.

Rose (Sort Of)- I still think the matchup is fairly even and slightly in Rose’s favor when she has U2. That ultra is risk-free and pretty much is a momentum stopper.

Bison- Bison’s that stay grounded and have a solid use of normals is the main issue. Jumping or Headstomp Gimmick Bisons are easy. s.RH= ughhhhh

Cammy- You pretty much can’t get DP’d more than once in this match or you lose. Also her OS Cannon Drill is good. Cammy’s j.rh is also a pretty gross trade for Seth. Also all the ambiguous TK Strikes are annoying. She can pretty much rape Seth with one good guess.

Also random note…I never realized how good neutral jump RH is in the Gief matchup. I usually only use that often against Bison Headstomp Gimmicks/Whiffs/Bad Jump In’s. Mixing in neutral jump RH and j.hp against Gief is quite effective. The RH loses to Gief’s c.mp, but it eats up Lariat pretty hard and catches a lot of poor jump-ins for free cr.mk xx legs

Bison, Fei Long, Chun li, Ibuki, C.Viper (feels random( 50-50))

For Guy, you can AA with CL.HP alot of the times, especially when he does those izuna drops.(Anyone with a floaty jump is easily AA by CL.HP) NJ. HK works wonders against him too as a AA.

Vegas turn to poo when u corner them and pressure like crazy. Ex ezuna drops (ex knee thing) can be beat by simple jabs and other normals, srk if u expect it and are focus absorbable. If u study and learn his trajectory pretty well u can j.mp him out of a ton of wall dives cuz he only hurts towards the last bit of his drops and is vulnerable right off the wall so dont be scared to get hit.

When cornering a vega i like to do instant nj stomp to dk and not cross him up cuz i dont wanna let him out… if he does the back flip i just keep jabbing till i get a hit confirm into legs combo, into stomps. Rinse repeat or add spd if u wanna get ballsy and mixup. But keep his ass cornered

And DONT get all jump heavy. Train urself to only jump after his drops when ur sure to hit with an AA… or if ur pressuring with dk.

Alot of these characters mentioned are meter needy… just watch thier meters. For example. Guy is crap until he gets his ex srk and that this is hard to beat so just bait it… most of his stuff is focusable too. And yes his floaty jump gets beat by c.hp but they can actually jump farther and grab u if they are smart. Same with nj roundhouse… they can grab u and it hurts.
Watch the meters! Cuz most characters cant do much without getting stuffed by seth until they get EX.

“Whats that mr. Bison? Awh u ran outta bars so u cant ex stomp? It k ill just rush u down now”

It’s also good sometimes to Teleport out of EX Wall Dive BS.

Seth relatively gets out for free and you force the player to burn bar.

Vega without bar= ASS

If only people didn’t get EX meter for getting their ass beat.

Meh EX i can deal with but earning mashable ultras for getting beat is truly retarded. Especially against seths low health after he works hard to damage.

Is it just me or is fei seths hardest matchup? Bitch makes me rage everytime I see him.

Why would Fei be his hardest matchup? Chicken Wing can be DP’d/ultra’d on reaction, Fei can be safe jumped and OS’d as long as he doesn’t have U2, and Flame Kick FADC U1 does bad damage. Just don’t get hit by HK/EX Chicken Wing.

Oh and his overhead is a free lp SPD on block.

Idk fei gives me the most trouble, it sounds a lot easier on paper but fei is an annoying bitch. He beats Seth in the air and ground and only bad feis do cw randomly.

just dont jump against fei that much… if he jumps its easier to do srk than to jump back. ex lightning legs beats chicken wing i just found out too. makes it alot easier to rush when he gets scared to chicken wing again.

just find a fei user and go a ton of matches against him. it becomes so easy after knowing what hes capable and not capable of. and u get used to anti airing his ass on reaction.

Fei has a great set of footsies, an amazing anti air and meterless 400 dmg combos. he’s just a natural counterpick to Seth imo. plus Seth has to take too many risks when dealing with safe Rekka pressure.

Yeah he’s the hardest character for me.
