Seth SSFIV: AE Loc Test Impressions (News, Venting, Etc.)

Most likely, although that would be all kinds of( “WTF OMGAWD SETH IS OP” )hilarious

I’d love Seth to have a demon flip, but only if the punch follow-up was 2 j.HP fists going down in different directions. like |\ or something. I mean, you can do Akuma’s palm out of the flip at the peak of his jump, so it’d be fitting for Seth to get that so he can make use of it. + 360 for his throw follow-up. Let’s keep it professional.

I’m actually looking forward to however they change Seth.

and DevilJin, I’m totally joining your Necro prayer circle.

Yea I think that is the fear that may happen. No one wants to see their character change and change overall to a weaker version.

With AE release a few months away, I don’t see them making any drastic changes.
That doesn’t look good for Seth.

Wait what? Who said J. D+Mk is getting nerfed? Did I miss something?

yeah, headstomp hitbox is nerfed

Well that’s the thing…it doesn’t take very long to adjust a character so they more than likely have already done other things to him that you’re not aware of to compensate. Something good will come out of all of this. I mean they’re basically bringing Sagat back to Vanilla status minus his tiger shots and MK and HK tiger knees so there’s gotta be something they’re doing to make sure Seth can compete with that.

Seth is neutered. I have no idea why they chose to do this, the explanation that makes the most sense is that they are listening to xbl scrubs who post on capcom-unity who complained that Seth’s j.HP is really cheap, which still doesn’t make sense because I thought Capcom didn’t do nerfs like that, but that’s definitely what it looks like.

Well they nerfed just about everything about Zangief even though none of it outside of the 1200 health was a serious issue so hey. Again…I’m not really convinced about Seth until I hear more about him. If the only thing that changed is j.HP going away then yeah u guys are fucked. Though I doubt that’s the only thing.

hey guys seth is so broken

Riverdance is OP.

What’s ironic about the whole thing is that in their games both characters have no life and get bodied in seconds if you mess up.

I think I’ve gotten over the fact that j.hp might be nerfed.

I do fear the changes to the Headstomp hitbox though. I would say the Headstomp Mixups/Shennanigans are more part of my mixup game than j.hp is (obviously)

Yeah. Head stomps are a vey good incentive to jump forward rather then back.

exactly!

his Ultra 1, aka the fireball war winner, no longer goes through fireballs

So it has been confirmed so far that:

  1. removed j.hp

  2. U1 does not go through fireballs anymore

And the strong rumor about a possible headstomps>dive nerf. I need some news soon because this is unbelievable, Capcom has to buff alot of shit to make up for that.

I am just concerned that ‘d.mk changes’ could mean c.hp xx lp srk > stomps & corner legs > stomps combos will no longer work… It all just depends on how much Capcom want to make sure no one will ever play Seth again I guess.

On the upside his vanilla divekick is back =).

Really a joke trade atm though, unless he’s getting vanilla stun/damage back and some serious health/stun boost.

thank god they got rid of j.hp …as a gief player i had to come here to thank you guys personally now seth, the only advantage( which was a broken advantage) that he had over gief is none… thanks capcom zangief vs seth is no longer the worst match up in the game, now seth is FREYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY :smiley:

I forgot onething…thanks again … Now time for his dive kick… Lol come on capcom … Nerf that shit lmaoooooooo.
