Special Moves
qcf +	(7[首上M] + 2[胸上M], 2[胸上M], 0, 6, 26)			HL			Sho-Yoh - qcf + P Seth waves his arm around, causing dust(?) to appear qcf + A does two hits and comes out a lot faster than his qcf + C, while qcf + C is only one hit supercancellable on all hits. Supercancelling qcf + C when it doesn't counterhit will result in the DM whiffing. Since the second hit of qcf + A sends the opponent off the ground, it is best to supercancel from the first hit qcf + C is a counterwire and hard knockdown free cancellable into free cancellable out of on all hits
qcf +	(18, 6, 33)			HL
hcf +	(5 + 0～9 + 4, 3, 22)						Doh-Kuzushi - hcf + K Seth goes into a counter stance hcf + B reverses air attacks, as well as special moves and DMs, causing hard knockdown hcf + D reverses mid-level attacks, switching sides with the opponent and giving you enough time to run up and combo hcf + D builds some stock when the motion is done (regardless if the counter activates), while hcf + B (as well as his d d + P) do not build meter
hcf +	(10 + 0～12 + 4, 3, 16)
d,d +	(2[全身M], 2[全身M] + 18, 32)、（攻撃）(6[全身M], 3[全身M], 29)						Ashi-Tori - d d + P Seth goes into a counter stance. During this stance, he will reverse low normals, knocking the opponent into the air to be juggled hard knockdown
d,d +	(2[全身M], 2[全身M] + 18, 32)、（攻撃）(6[全身M], 3[全身M], 29)
j.qcf +	(8+3, -, 13)			H			An-Getsu - qcf + B (air) Seth comes down vertically, stomping on the opponent very useful attack as it's safe on block and can be done immediately before/after crossing up for mixups overhead hard knockdown free cancellable into
j.qcf +	(8+7, -, 18)			HL			Raku-Getsu - qcf + D (air) Seth does a kick 45 degrees diagonally downwards if you jump over the opponent and do the move with the reversed input, he will attack towards the opponent free cancellable into
hcb +	(5 + 0～9 + 4, 3, 22)			HL			Kyu-Getsu - hcb + K Seth dashes forward and performs a knee attack hcb + B comes out faster and does slightly more damage than hcb + D, but takes longer to recover if this move makes contact with the opponent, it can be followed up by f + K or d + K it is possible to juggle the opponent after this move free cancellable into free cancellable out of
hcb +	(10 + 0～12 + 4, 3, 16)			HL
> f +	(1+9, 3, 7+27)			HL			Ya-Getsu - f + K (after hcb + K) Seth follows up with another kick that has good recovery and comes out quickly free cancellable out of into all free cancellable into moves except the Kyu-Getsu hcb + K
> d +	(6 + 5 + 9, 3, 33)			L			Gen-Getsu - d + K (after hcb + K) Seth slides on the ground, attempting to sweep his opponent. This move takes a while to come out, and has some recovery time low attack not particularly useful since it is slow and easy to see, and Seth does not have an overhead followup for mixup free cancellable out of into all free cancellable into moves except the Kyu-Getsu hcb + K
DMs
qcfx2+	( 4 , 33 , 24)			HL			"Morote"-Sho-Yoh - qcfx2+P Seth does one very quick punch. Then he swings his arm similar to how he does during his qcf + P, doing about 5 extra hits and knocking the opponent back stuns the opponent on the first hit. Thus, if you trade hits with the opponent with this move, you have enough time to run up and do a combo while opponent is stunned* impossible for the opponent to punish this on block except by guard rolling after blocking first hit or doing an invincible move after it
qcfx2+	( 4, 33 , 24)			HL
qcf,hcb +	( 7, 12, 20)			L,HL			Irimi-Nadazuki - qcf hcb + K Seth does a sliding attack. If this move hits or is blocked, he will do 6 more kicks, the last one sending the opponent vertically into the air for a juggle. If the move whiffs, Seth does not do any kicks qcf hcb + D comes out slower and goes slightly further than qcf hcb + B low attack on the first hit difficult to punish this move on block unless the opponent guard rolls behind Seth as he is kicking, and combos him from behind. The last kick is able to hit opponents from behind Seth which was likely not intended not useful outside of combos
qcf,hcb +	(26, 9, 20)			L,HL
SDM
qcf,hcb + +	( 4, 24, 21)			-			Doh-Tori-Shichimonsatsu - qcf hcb + AC Seth goes into a counter stance. During this stance, he will reverse all air, high, mid and low attacks, as well as specials and most DMs
HSDM
f,hcf + +	(0, 25+25)			Grab			Sigure-Rangiku - f hcf + AC Seth performs an unblockable grab hard knockdown this move reverses the directions of the opponent's inputs. This means that up becomes down, down becomes up, downright becomes upleft, etc. The directions stay reversed until Seth hits the opponent, throws them or the round ends can OTG after certain moves such as his hcf + B counter

Damage above is based on cl.D > b + A as starter (except where only cl.C (1) is possible).

About cl.C (1) / cl.D: cl.D deals more damage (~+2%), is faster, and has a lower hitbox (will not miss low profile stances), but cl.C (1) causes no pushback.

About df + B / b + A: b + A deals more damage (~+2%), is easier to combo (slower and move Seth forward), but misses crouching; skip b + A / df + B reduce ~11.5% from the combos damage.

• cr.A x 2-3 >
  • DM qcf qcf + P
  • qcf + A ...
  • df + B > [Anything that can follow cl.D > df + B]

Strategies

Seth its a ground defensive character with good air to air options, in far distance your jump in Special (air qcf + K) will be your pressure moves, use your Reversal Moves (hcf + B / hcf + D / d d + P) randomly (at far distance use the upper one (hcf + B), and at low distance the medium (hcf + D) or low one (d d + P)) , in close combat your crouching A its your Rapid Fire Weak Attack and can be comboed with his df + B and with the hcb + B Special or DM qcf hcb + K.
