Special Attacks

Rising Sun [Sho-Yoh] - (qcf + A/C)

• Seth performs sort of a open hand wind-based uppercut move. The light punch (A) is a left handed uppercut while the heavy punch (C) version is a right handed uppercut that moves him forward slightly.

• The A version causes two hits, and a soft knockdown while the C version is just one hit, has less damage than the A version, can counter-wire on counter hit, and gives the opponent a soft knockdown.

• The A version can combo easily from his cancel-able standing and crouching light and heavy normals, while the C version can combo easier from cancel-able heavy normals

• The A version can be super cancelled from the 1st or 2nd hit. The C version is super cancel-able as well but the super wont connect because the opponent will be knockdown away

• Both versions push Seth back away from the opponent if blocked, but he can be punished by special moves and supers that can reach him while he is in recovery

Body Snatcher [Doh-Kuzushi] - (hcf + B/D)

• The light kick version (B) counters jumping attacks, while the heavy kick version (D) counters ground based mid-attacks.

• The light kick version slams the opponent to the ground causing a hard knockdown, while the heavy kick version temporary stuns the opponent throws them to opposite player side (similar to Iori's hcb,f+P command throw) and causes no damage
