Super Street Fighter IV/Seth

Seth

Seth is actually one of many bodies produced by the Living Incubator program, but was giving the assignment of overseeing the S.I.N. corporation by M. Bison. Seth developed the Tanden Engine, which allowed Seth to instantly mimic the fighting techniques of opponents he has fought. Ever ambitious, Seth decided to rebel against Shadaloo and took S.I.N. for himself. He has no intention of stopping there, however, and plans to defeat Shadaloo's leader, M. Bison, and take over everything M. Bison has created utilizing the ultimate weapon he has created within S.I.N.: the device known as BLECE.

In a nutshell

The ultimate glass cannon, Seth's offense is unparalelled in the history of usable characters in Street Fighter. And what makes him even scarier is that his defense is also incredible, with great keepaway jump attacks, a quality anti-air DP, easy ways to run away. However, he's incredibly brittle, and one mistake can easily cost you the entire round. He also does very low damage compared to most characters. Thus, the key to using Seth is to be flawless and play almost perfectly. But when you do, your opponent oftentimes is as helpless as the Training Mode dummy, falling prey to Seth's incredible lockdown game.

• cr.LK, cr.LP, cr.MP xx MK Hyakuretsukyaku

Seth's basic hit confirm combo that will knock the opponent a fair distance away from him. Best used when you need a fast punish or want some quick damage.

• (Mid-screen) cr.HP, LP Shoryuken (1 hit), Yosokyaku (3 times), Tenmakujinkyaku
• (Corner) cr.HP, HK Hyakuretsukyaku, Yosokyaku (3 times), Tenmakujinkyaku
• (Alternate) cr.HP, LP Shoryuken (2 hits), Yosokyaku (2 times), Tenmakujinkyaku

The go to combo for punishing your opponents' mistakes which ends up in a reset. The mid-screen version of this combo does not work on Guile, Adon, Dudley, Hakan, or Cody. You will have to use the third version of this combo on them.

• AA Shoryuken, Yosokyaku (3 times), Tenmakujinkyaku

This combo will often be available to you off of any anti-air Shoryuken, but landing it is not always realistic.

• j.MP, Yosokyaku (3 times), Tenmakujinkyaku

Primary air to air combo that leads into a reset.
