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

…so confirmed by Ono Seth is F tier now?

I hope new version of 3s gets released the same time as this dlc so I can switch to a better game tbh.

Edit (translation that makes sense):

Famitsu: Speaking of substantial changes, the arms of Seth have stopped extending?

Ono: (laughing) Seth was a character that got favorably treatment so far as the boss. However, an increasing number of players have been using him fairly recently, when you take that in to consideration, I see he is a little too strong? Because of this I decided to take drastic measures.

^ /Facedesk. That is just complete nonsense.

lol.

When they take into consideration, people picking up a new character means he should get nerfed. :frowning:

Well at least in 3S if your character wasn’t top tier u didn’t have to worry about Capcom patching them to make them lower tier. LOL. Well technically that did happen but tournament players just abandoned the patched version. I definitely can’t wait for 3S re-release myself. Hopefully it’s better than the PS2 port.

Ono is a clown. He definitely has the casual gamer’s interest pretty much before the hardcore gamer.

jumps in a volcano

Seth was only fun for the people playing him. Fact.

Same can be said for every character really.

So can I serve you your words to eat now or would you like a starter first?

…and tbh; this, new scrawny emo dante, steel battalion using kinect controller etc. Capcom is 100% fail all round atm.

i dont even

Now he isn’t fun for anyone.

:frowning:

Well it could just be another one of Ono’s trolls and he actually is trying to rearrange Seth to fit him better for the more offensive minded Super SFIV. It’s probably just a PR stunt.

If Capcom was fucking around all their other shit like turning Dante super emo and making it so u don’t need a beast ass controller setup to play Steel Batallion they maybe I could see something is up.

hey guys, yesterday I had a theory for why he has the new armored costume. I think it’s so Seth players can make better/more frequent use of the tandem engine special without revealing themselves by way of the color inversion.

Maybe what people see as nipples are actually lights that brighten up instead of the color inversion when Tandem is used. So the subtle difference could provide tactical benefits.

Might have to pick up Seth now.

lol

Just pick red and volcano stage.

or he might just lactate

Should I start maining a new character now? :slight_smile:

I dunno…you’d think he’d tone down Rog’s jab first before he toned down the entire character of Seth that was already previously toned down. Seth can’t still have 750 health after all of this. I’ve still got my hopes up that they are doing enough to Seth so that he will stay a solid mid tier. They gotta know that without j.HP he has no zoning tool against like a lot of the cast. They gotta buff his footsies or something to compensate. Otherwise you’re going to be mashing c.LP at people all day like a shitty Balrog that can fly. Plus anything Ono says u have to take with a grain of salt. He had people convinced there would be no arcade release of Super until like a few months ago.

Plus Ono doesn’t even know how to play SF. Fuck him.

I like fighting against good Seths.

Seth mirrors are my favorite. :smiley:
