Introduction

Sean is one of the most immensely underrated characters in SF3. Everything about him is said to suck, but in the right hands, he can be as formidable as anyone else. His basics are weak but he has more than a few tricks up his sleeves. Sean's advantage isn't in combo potential, but in his overwhelming speed, variety, and many ways of seamlessly transitioning between low hits, overheads, stop hits, and throws. He is rarely if ever seen in high level competitive play, or at all for that matter. If you choose to play Sean, chances are your opponent will both underestimate you and be unfamiliar with his potential. While not a combo machine, he is fast, versatile, and rewarding character for players who prefer mind games.
