Thanks!
I’ve seen a lot of Seth players do a lp. Tanden after a FA. What’s the purpose of this?
free meter
build meter
helps optimize damage/combos as certain combos are only possible after a Tanden
good player habit
no reason not to do it
Also I think it helps you get farther to the corner maybe?
few questions on seth guys -
is his command grab throw-invincible? what about the ex? ( i know the ex is strike-invinci)
also, how does his tanden engine work in terms of hitbox? as in, when tanden engine is activated, is it like an invisible projectile that moves and takes up space gradually along the horizontal or is does it instantaneously take up a designated amount of space?
also, what is his dp fadc on block on first hit? +1?
No.
Non-EX tanden counts as a throw. It does not spread out, as soon as the move is active it’s covering the entire area involved.
I know it’s weird to think of tanden as a throw because it does no damage and can be blocked but it can do things like grab Abel out of his rolls when he has strike invincibility.
-1
Yeah, non-EX Tanden is basically a throw that can be blocked. EX is a strike. Also, all Tanden Engines have the tiniest of tiny extra pixels of range on the last active frame.

The more you know!
u sure it’s -1? because mashing jab and throw does not work against his spd when it should be able to hit and grab him before his spd… it has to be 0 or +1…
Lol, we’re positive. Your character must have a shitty jab or you push the button too slow.
yeah u guys r right… just tested it against zangief’s ultra. the jab i mash is of course 3f… =/ probably something with the PC version. it’s fuckin weird, dummy set on autoblock sometimes doesn’t block ryu’s sweep => hold upforward safejump and half the time he wakes up late causing the safe jump attack to whiff.
god i miss my xbox.
I’m assuming it’s because of negative edge but you can’t mash normals or throws against moves that are -1. Have to time it manually. It’s certainly possible though, I’ve played people who consistently grabbed me or used 3f normals to hit confirm punish me after trying FADC SPD…
The worst is people that stand tech, it beats everything including EX SPD. Besides jump/backdash/uppercut/ultra. But yeah, it’s to the point where I don’t FADC forwards when I wakeup uppercut against people with good timing. Seth’s 4 frame jab really hurts him here.
Throws always beat strikes if they both are hitting on the same frame. If you are +0 and Seth does a lp SPD and Ryu does a cr.lp, Seth will throw Ryu.
Just started playing Seth this week and I really, really dig him. I just have one question though: what’s Tandens purpose? I usually use it to bring them to do a blockstring or SPD, I just want to make sure I’m using it for what it’s supposed to be used for.
ok im having a scrub problem. can’t find the right timing for the ex tanden after ex dp. it is either too early and i get nothing, or too late and opponent falls on the ground. i tried to press it as soon as i see the body on the upper side of the screen but it doesn’t help.
You have to hit 6-7 hits of EX SRK to work. It won’t work with just 5.
DON’T: MashsrksrksrksrksrksrksrksrksrkMash
DO: srk [brief pause] srk srk
TIP: you only have to input srk three times total and if you do it right, you’ll get the 6 or 7 hits.
oh, that will actually help my execution a lot, right now when im not having 4 ex bars, i always mash that dp. thank you good sirs, gotta step my game up
but you can’t do it in corner, right?
