I main Ken and don’t rip on me for it…I was playing some ranked and some guy named Smashbros101 joined my game and he picked Seth…alright maybe he’s gonna be pretty badass right? No…all this motherfucker did was literally spam light sonic booms and jump off the wall with a toe tap whenever I closed in on him. It’s like, even as ridiculous as this scrub sounds, it’s actually like he knows what he’s doing with this retarded strategy. He timed all his walljumps perfectly, and I can never counter him because his wall jump f.kick or the height of his jump beats out everything i try to do.
So after a whole round of this I got really frigging sick of this guy and just started spamming ex air tatsu and actually managed to get a knockdown. When he gets up though, he just frickin flips…like he plays soo random it’s unbelievable. Like he starts mashing uppercuts, spds, and everything he can to get away…when he gets away he just resumed his turtle strat and I gave up.
I’m so pissed off, and tired of this ridiculous generic character. Like I don’t know how you deal with that, it’s like a mobile dhalsim…
Time your uppercuts better so they don’t get stuffed from jump ins.
You should be able to win a fireball war against Seth, his recovery is terrible on sonic boom. Use quick normals as feints so he can’t predict your fireball and jump in safely.
I can’t tell if this post is serious or a joke. TBH, no trolling, if he beat you, that means he’s doing something right. Day[9] (who is a Starcraft strategist, though his advice can be applied here) says, “Always try to defend something before you poke holes in it.” Instead of getting :salt: about being beaten by a Seth, message him and ask for some endless matches. Learn what you can, and admire what he’s good at. He’s timing his walljumps really well? Well hey, he’s doing something really well. Maybe you could learn a thing or two about Seth from him.
Also, as an aside, I disagree with
The only way he’s like Dhalsim is his st.:hp: and his teleport. Can you name one other way he resembles Dhalsim at all? Maybe the fact that they both have fireballs, and that they both have two ultras. Ooh, they also both have a back throw!
Consider the following: regardless of your opinion, he won. He beat you. He played better than you. Perhaps you have better tactics, but were caught off-guard by his randomness. Internalize that; instead of projecting onto him saying, “Oh, what a scrub, he doesn’t know BnBs,” say, “Oh man, I can deal well with normal stuff, but I don’t know how to deal with random play.” Also, yeah, admire him fleeing the whole game. If you let him, he’s doing it right. I don’t know why everyone gives turtling such a hard time…if you can’t get in on them, then they’re doing something right. I think Mike Ross said, “I don’t care if everyone boos me, I’m holding down back for 99 seconds.”
I main Seth, i’m not a pro but I have experience, enough experience to know when they will do a Hadoken, so, walljump is the way, just keep playing, get over it, FGs are like any real sport, it is 0% only if you don’t try.
