I’ve always believed Sean is a lot better than 12. And never accepted the overall consensus that he’s the worst. There’s no way he is. He has all the shoto fundamentals. If you’re strong with fundamentals, combine some 3s knowledge, and sharp reactions, you’ve built yourself a scary Sean.
That’s why Chris G was so great. Insane reactions, 3s knowledge, and sold fundamentals. He was able to take Sean to the limit and beat all of ECs strongest competitors in casuals and tournaments.
Strengths:
HK roundhouse - Excellent meaty move, big damage, FAST, hit-confirm able. That’s his best weapon
Fastest dash among shotos. What works well with that? Throws!
Short, LK, jab, chain combo, HP meaty are all the same as ken/ryu/akuma!
Weaknesses-
Who cares? Don’t use them.
He can short short xx super
Crouch xx MK super
HK xx super
UPH xx super
Crouch MP xx super
All hit confirmable
And he has 3 small bars!
Combine that with some 3s knowledge and you got one nasty Sean.
