so this thread has turned to theory fighter now? Y’all seem to be nerfing Seth in your minds with that.
I’ve been playing Seth nearly exclusively these past couple weeks, and I must say that I haven’t been using nj/jb.HP that much. I still think he should have it, but the problem with it, is that it’s a very good fall-back move. And some people will make j.HP 75% of their strat, because a lot of characters, by default, have trouble dealing with that move along with chasing Seth around.
Anyways, j.MP is good. I think Seth has a pretty good air-to-air game. j.MP (nice hitbox and start-up, leads to combos), neutral j.HK, j.HP is okay too, j.MK has okay range and the hitbox is a little bit higher than j.HK (which is also good).
It would be cool if his SPD hit a little harder, sometimes after playing grapplers for a bit and picking up Seth I get all psyched up when I land an SPD and… yeah.
If I perform J.mp properly then it does not lose to Viper air moves (unless I screw up timing and get hit an early burn kick). With Ryu j.mp it is whoever is lower than the other at start-up. Meeting Honda’s Neutral J.FP with J.mp is retarded… Any of Seth air normals for that matter, it is too risky.
It is all a matter of timing with J.mp. I am sure Deviljin knows what J.mp is like after all those games.
I agree with Zeniside. I’m pretty sure using j.MP as A2A works best when you jump on reaction to another player’s jump at a more ascending angle. Or of course, when you’re jumping down on them, and they jump out. But you can’t do that for a safe jump, so play at your own risk.
But I guess most often, any person who jumps later than the other, not during a safe jump, is kind of at the mercy of the other player. I’ve had consistent success with doing any character’s possible A2A after the other player’s already jumped. Must be some formula to it, or just hitting the angle right.
Yeah I know right, he’s like totally too strong and has way too many people dominating with him at tournaments and stuff. It is expected though, he’s a boss character after all, am I right?!
I remember going on vacation in france and playing some vanilla there, I asked them about their thoughts on Seth (for the lulz) and they just went mental really. It was pretty hilarious.
