yea, a lot of people have been complaining about this. took me an hour to beat the game on medium with ken yesterday. I doubt they'll remove him but they could at least fix him. a simple way would be just to use regular playable seth as the boss, just set the difficuly depending on how u want it.

trying to beat him for an hour made me feel like I'm not that good at the game even though I know I'm better than average.

I beat him on default difficuty (easy) with Ryu in about 3 tries. My first time playing the game.

Under the same conditions I must have tryed 30 times to beat him with Sakura... I got so close, but it did not happen. Then I beat him in one match with C.Viper (First time using her).

Complaining about a Boss in a figthing game seems odd to me. If it is tough, it was meant to be that way.

 

I can appreciate what your saying but this character is seriously over-powered. I've been playing videogames for years (about 20 - don't ask how old I am) and this is one of the lamest boss characters I have yet to come up against. I can put up with Bison and Akuma because deep down they were beatable. This garbage was meant to suck quarters in the arcade, his really seems to be a "BROKEN" character.

Hmm... I must admit that I was frustrated too a couple of times, but Seth really isn't hard to beat on Easiest, set to one-round matches, if you're going for unlocking characters. Several characters can actually beat him by spamming the same move, such as Akumas Hard kick. Others have to work a little for it, but generally, jumping hard puch/kick to low sweep kick does the trick in most cases. Do that over and over, and finish him with an Ultra, if you're feeling flashy. Took me about four hours to beat the game with all characters that way, and I'm sure that people can do it faster than that.

On the higher difficulty levels, it's another story, but if you do things like I did, you'll have all the characters unlocked by the time you raise the difficulty, and there's not that much left to worry about. The strategy remains the same - find something that the AI can't handle, and abuse it. If you play against Seth like you'd play against a normal opponent in a "real" match, he will destroy you, unless you're really, really good.

I find it interesting to see how so many people expect the game to be a pushover - yes, Seth is certainly annoiying, but it's just another challenge. Personally, it's not a challenge I enjoyed, but playing other players is really where it's at in this game, so I only beat Arcade to get all the characters. Perhaps getting punished so much by Mega Man 9 has made me able to withstand unreasonable challenges :)

It's weird, I've seen this complaint everywhere...but I've yet to have major issues with him. In 4 runs through arcade mode on default difficulty (2 being with characters I'd never used before...Abel and El) I used 3 continues on Seth total.

I really don't see how he's so difficult to where there's so many complaints. People even complain about him on easy, I can't imagine how easy he'd be if I turned down the difficulty.

only issue i have is his throw

it seems like about a third of the time there isn't even an animation for it, i'm just getting uppercutted and piledriven. also, sometimes my throws seem to go right through Seth. I've seen both arms go through him and get nothing, only to end up being thrown myself then.
