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

[my_name_is_better]

I created my own message :P.

It was tough since I fail at doing the g and the / right :l. Other letters were copy-pasted from Kanta.

I remember talking to Filipino Champ at my local session about Seth right around when Super was getting into mid-gear. I told him how annoying it was with all the nerfs (mostly because some matchups changed drastically). He said the Seth in Super with all the nerfs made him an actual/real character now (he played Seth for quite a while as an alternate to his main, Sim)

I’ve mentioned this several times before but the reason why most of us are freaking out is because of what happened between Vanilla and Super.

Seth got a bunch of nerfs between games and nothing really buffed at all. I don’t consider U2 a buff or the weird Headstomps xx j.mp training mode thing I never use.

Most of us are afraid the same is going to happen. Lots of nerfs and no buffs.

You guys are bitching about things you’re not going to get yet don’t even TRULY know what you ARE going to get. It’s obvious that all of the idealistic stuff you guys want you’re not going to get because Capcom just doesn’t see the light in it and won’t no matter how many times you post it on the SRK Seth forum that they never read. It’s already been said that Seth as a character is going to be completely different in the arcade version so in the end…Seth is not being designed for people that played him for what he was or what they thought he should have been in Vanilla.

If anything Seth will do better with newer people picking him up that never understood how he played or what he was capable of in Vanilla. They’ll end up doing better with him in the long run because they won’t restrict themselves to a bias of what he used to be. Capcom is specifically re-designing the way Seth plays drastically. I’m going to assume they’re mostly doing this to make him more of a rushdown oriented character (as what’s been their plan since console Super). As someone who doesn’t main Seth but isn’t really as biased from playing him since Vanilla…I’d just like to see it play out and see what the Japanese and Poongko do with him.

Bringing up Poongko…I think Poongko is the ideal type of Seth player. He just plays and wins despite what Capcom does to him. Even without ever seeing him type a message on a forum u can just understand that he puts the time in to understand what Seth is capable of and uses that to make a powerful play style. He’s not sitting in bed every night wondering why Capcom messed up Seth’s j.HP or teleport. He deals with it and finds ways around it and creates things to beat people with given what the game has given him.

With Capcom once again changing Seth up hardcore there’s really no reason to continue wishing for things that you aren’t going to get. You’re going to be complaining about Seth again just off of the fact that he’s going to play hella different from what you’re used to apparently.

You act like this is an unreasonable reaction. How about if ur main was REMOVED for the next update? pissed right? yeah. Hes gone, its a brand new character.

First. You spend 2 years playing a character, who is truly unique to any of the sf games. and have him completely changed. You don’t radically change a character, especially one that isnt broken. Theres a reason McDonalds doesnt take off milkshakes for god damn malts. Because people are used to milkshakes.

Without nj.hpc, a workable ultra, worse toes, Hes just a different character. I honestly find that infuriating. You dont put a character in, just to remove it. Capcom really needs to get its shit together

[Warlike]

So I basically came back from a summer hiatus, and I see this shit.

I can understand the removal of j.hp from a ‘make the game more offensive’ perspective, but it hurts Seth way too much. Lets not forget that most of this is still speculation, and a location test is subject to change.

[FuLLBLeeD]

I only dabble a little bit with Seth, but from what I’ve heard Seth is getting an considerable health and damage increase. He’s going to play completely different though.

Seth got a bunch of nerfs between games and nothing really buffed at all. I don’t consider U2 a buff or the weird Headstomps xx j.mp training mode thing I never use.

it’s funny because that stomp>j.MP thing isn’t even new! Capcom saw that shit on our boards and x-copied it. Or found it after they released Vanilla, I dunno. Anyways, it was in vanilla too.

(I use it though, it happens sometimes that I get an air-to air stomp, so I just pop’em back up with j.MP then stomp>stomp>dk)

AND YES! More crying SethSurfers all around! Any more witty sentences I can use?

[Warlike]

make one with ‘‘I am etern…F-tier’’ and I am gratefull forever

[k4polo]

Who knows, maybe this could be a good thing.(removal of j.HP) Might force people to actually engage with Seth instead of zone, or he may get something to makeup for his decreased ability to zone. I did read somewhere his dive kick is faster, that’s good. U1 being more “fireball-like” could mean more combo-ability, although that’s what U2 is for. I’m going to test out Yang regardless of what happens to Seth, but I’ll always have a place for him.

I like the fact you staying positive. Just maybe he be actually be different but good in this game. But IDK.

Just shut up and take it http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq209/Kanta-Kun/SethSurfer5.gif

Anyways, I advise everyone ot first read DevilJin’s posts in this thread because those make a lot of sense.

And then just wait. just wait for the next loketest/release, there’s really nothing we can do…

Seth’s reaction to all this:

think a gfaqs poster made this, dunno if he posts here

[Shadow_Ace_50]

These are depressing times for a Seth Player…

prayers go out to you all…

[Warlike]

Hey you can do it on your own, its not hard :P. I just used copy paste and voila.

Computers at Uni don’t have any editing software at medical school, so I can’t.

[ChuckBartowski]

I think everyone at Capcom just hates Seth Killian.

[Metroxylon]

but Seth Killian has said that he doesn’t like the design of Seth the character. and I don’t think Seth, the character, was based on S-Kill. maybe S-Kill had a say in how Seth has turned out so far…
