seth isnt that difficult to beat. sure he can be annoying, but all you have to do is exploite the AI's stupidity.

i just got the trophy for beating gouken on the hardest setting :D

I'm kind of broke at the moment, so it may be awhile before I get SFIV.

I just hope Seth isn't as cheap as KOF XII's Magaki.

Seth has potential weaknesses.  If your a Ryu user just stay on top of him, just watch out for his shoryuken,tiger uper.

For Sakura her Ex senpukyaku goes through his sonicbooms, just time it right then do s sho-hou-ken.

Seth got cheap when I was playing Vega and himself on Easiest on the PS3 version. He sandbagged me about 20 times and I felt the playable Seth moves got weaker compared to the boss version, because of his EX Triple Shoryuken. *_*

Not only that, I played as Viper against Zangief on the 360 version on Eastiest an the problem was that he keeps spamming the Spin Pile Driver until I die. I lost about 6 times to him and that never happened to me.

But I'm cool with it now, because at least I get to beat the crap out of them with Ken and his combos and I do agree that Seth should be fixed. 

 

I am going to use your post as a spring board, hope you don't mind.

All this talk about Seth, he's a boss people, and has that good ole old school feeling, where you growl at the screen and punch the floor trying to figure out how to beat him with some fighters. It takes me back to doing that in the old days against some bosses.

but if there is someone who feels broken to me its Zangief. his defense and attack are high, as they should be, but his reach has increases alot more than before and his speed is way up there. He can walk halfway across the screen before Rose gets off a fireball. and his pile driver does more damage than some characters like C.Viper's or Dan's ultras against him.

put it this way, I got a perfect against Seth with C.Viper, but had to continue and go cheap with C.Viper, the only move of her's I could use to beat Zangief was that fire kick over and over again as he got close.

by the way people, you're goal in a fighting game is to (WIN) the match, not put on an eye pleasing dance performance for an audience, so if all you can do to beat Seth is trip him over and over again, pin him with the faster characters' focus attack, have Rose do that hard kick to his head continiously (I had to), or fire ball him like a machine gun, then do that. Don't feel ashamed, beat the boss by any means neccisary.

and I may be a sadist/masochist but to me part of the fun of those old games was getting angry at this fictional character and wanting him to ACTUALLY DIE. LoL.  I always laugh after the match and am very proud and happy even shaking my fist saying things like, "I finnaly got you, you worthless cheap shot!" its more satisfying to take down something that gives you some trouble than an easy win.

My wife walked in and wanted to play last night.  She hasn't touched a Street Fighter game since college.  I set arcade mode to easiest, 3 rounds, and handed her the joystick.

She picked Sakura, then worked her way through all the fighters and beat Seth without continuing.

He seems to be tougher with some characters vs. others, but I don't think he is nearly as bad as some people are making him out to be.
