Arturo is back in there with Seth.
Good shit to Arturo. 10 minutes into the video and it’s pretty disgusting 
The loud mouthed guy commentating on the Tanden Engine not being a “factor” in this match is retarded. He is a drunken idiot.
Do you guys think that the Seth vs Abel matchup is in favor of Seth? Not saying that my Seth is beastly, but I used to have and still have problems vs good Abel players. I always thought that the matchup is slightly in Abel’s favor mainly because of his ultras being so hard hitting, one little mistake and its over.
Yeah, I also think It’s in Abel’s favor. Abel’s J.Fp beats Seth’s air to airs, his stupid C.Fp hits limbs, his U2 is pretty gay.
Lol your comment made me turn on the sound again for once, and it’s another reminder of why i always keep it turned off when people are commentating. “Oh we got tandems…we got tandems…tandems to grabs…yeah we got mixups…yea we got mixups…(art does jump back fierce) we got jump back fierce…(ryder stuns art) oh he is stunned ladies and gentlemen” STFU i can see this for myself, it’s not like it’s a football match where there’s 2 teams of multiple people on the field and it might come in handy if someone commentates. IT’S TWO SSFIV CHARS, WE CAN SEE WHAT THEY’RE DOING!
Also saying that the matchup is in favour of Seth takes away any credibility the commentator has imo.
EDIT: also lol@ 21:16, thank you for reminding us which chars are being used…i certainly couldn’t read the names under the portraits…that SSFIV font is so unclear…
EDIT 2: on a positive note - nice going art, that match was exciting till the very end =)
Indeed, props to Sabin for making sure people don’t sleep on Seth on the East Coast. I’ll be making sure people don’t sleep on Seth at the World cup (Evo) this year so don’t sweat it. 
Commentators are just inexperienced. I mean, when I’m drunk I usually say some stupid shit myself, so it’s not like it’s the easiest thing to do, just being a bit harsh I guess. 
I don’t mind the commentators, they make me more hyped up while watching lol. Sure they say stupid shit, but its funny and makes the matches less boring imo. I love watching FADC streams cause they are always saying some funny ass shit.
Bison is vulnerable until he stomps the ground and dust flies up with Ultra 2. Hell, you can even just do a standing fierce punch and reset his ass lol.
Speaking of which. I don’t see ANY Seth players using standing Fierce as an anti air. From what I have experienced it beats alot of jump ins clean. On trade you get stomps.
That Ryder guy sucked so bad lol he failed to do a lot of J.HP for punishments against Arturo’s seth… I played way better Abels on line (they kick my ass lol)
He didn’t suck he probably didn’t know the matchup well. He adapted good after the first couple sets though, did you even watch the whole thing? It came down to the very last round, that Abel was sick.
Um first off I doubt you are anywhere remotely near Arturo Sanchez level to be trying to compare yourself to him with that line. I bet that if you would’ve played Ryder he would’ve double perfected you free. LOL
Reason is because of the unsafe factor if you mistime it by even the slightest, you pull out your 60 frame s.HP… I for the most part use s.HK.
yes I watched it all, watched it last night when I got home. Yeah Ryder did get some adjustment but to not know the matchup right off like that for a good player?? it’s like unheard of… well to me at least. Know what I mean??
As for comparing myself to arturo?? There’s no comparison… He’s Arturo and I’m David… two very different people. lol
Lol@u
:wgrin: lolol
So, is it very common for players to reverse the stick/button layout on their sticks? Both art and ryder have reversed sticks in that video. I would think that would make playing on someone else’s stick or the arcade almost an impossible adjustment…
the sticks are not reversed… the entire footage of them is Mirrored… if you notice the words on some of the guys in the background, the lettering is backwards lolol.
it threw me off at first as well but I figured it out after seeing the backwards lettering lol
Wow, i got owned by that video ha ha. I guess only arturo’s shirt is the one with lettering on it, didn’t know what it said regardless so i didn’t think much of it.
Thats just a matter of execution though…is it not?
It’s a hard match for Abel, but others have said, I would have to give the slight edge to Abel.
Even without Ultra, Abel sticks around for a while (good Stamina) and hit’s hard no matter what (1-2 good Tick Tornado Throws= Ughhhh). A patient Abel can become quite the chore for any Seth player.
In that video with Arturo, Ryder was doing so much better when he was being patient, when he was trying to chase down Arturo and be random, Arturo pretty much went training mode.
IMO, U1 and U2 are both scary factors for Seth. With U1, you can’t throw Fireballs to zone, or get caught with c.hp AA xx Ultra. With U2, you can’t jump in, and it’s risk then poking because some players will just throw it out.
Also as others mentioned, Abel’s j.hp is too good against Seth.
