Street Fighter IV Boss Brings Too Much Fight?

BeefJack writes, "If, like the majority of us, you've noticed Street Fighter IV's boss character, Seth, to be painfully tough despite the difficulty setting, then there may be an explanation - and a fix - for this seemingly stupid imbalance..."

I hate n00blet gamers, you guys are ruining everything.

Just block... when he sucks you in, dont attack.. you go faster into him.

Seth took me one try to kill him on the Hardest difficulty. Beefjack.com are just too retarded to understand how to defeat him.

BeaArthur5555d ago

What a coincidence because I hate people who use stupid terms like "n00blet gamers". Just because people find it hard or frustrating doesn't mean they are a "n00blet gamer". I bet there are plenty of games where you get your backside handed to you...games that others would call easy.

BeaArthur5555d ago

- Ghost of Sparta -...I mean honestly if you are going to lie make up a believable lie.

cyrus2285555d ago (Edited 5555d ago )

stop actin like a hotshot, beating him with ryu ken or sagat/ the easy characters is simple on any diff, but try beating that cheese ball with viper, doing her ultra just for him to teleport and grab u. its not a fun fight. not that the game was that fun, i just went back to guilty gear after unlocking fei long, cammy and sakura, then returned game, just wasn;t deep enough, tho thats cuz guilty gear accent core spoiled me ;p

cant wait for Blazblue, check a trailer

tho yeah king of fighters boss top seth in cheesyness lol

EXCLUSIVEGAMER5555d ago

fvckin A.

i beat the bastard with both the patch and the install on medium.....i knew hed be cheesy, but still managed.

Lifendz5555d ago

Bleep everyone who's acting like some bada$$ cuz they beat Seth one time out the gate or on the hardest difficulty or whatever. That's really uncalled for. A good number of people are having problems with the last guy. He's cheesy like M Bison was on Street Fighter 2 on the SNES. We all know some of you guys are uber SF4 players and can dominate but making yourself out to be better than someone else, or belittling someone else cuz they're having trouble beating the last guy is not cool.

BTW it took me 4 times on medium. Like Blade said, you just have to block on his second form and he's pretty easy. You can't play him like you play everyone else.

Cheeseknight285555d ago

He can't possibly be as hard as Night Terror in SC3, bugged or otherwise.

Sasanova5555d ago

if ur having difficulty, go back to playing halo you halo scrubs

specialguest5555d ago

If you find it impossible to beat Seth, then play the damn game on Easy. That's the whole point of difficulty levels. Don't play it on Hard if you're not an advanced player.

BeaArthur5554d ago

Sasanova...I guess we wouldn't see you on Halo though right? I bet if you were you would be the guy with 4 kills and 12 deaths. Just because someone may not be good at SF4 does not mean that SF4 is some kind of gauge for gaming talent. There are plenty of games harder than SF4 so get off your high horse, you may be good at it but I bet you get your ass handed to you in everything else.

DelbertGrady5554d ago

I beat Seth on the hardest difficulty blindfolded and without touching the controller...

I knew 8 perfects and after 45 minutes to beat Seth was not normal. With Ryu / Ken, it's quite easy to manage him, with spamming Shoryuken / Tatsumaki Senpuu kyaku, Seth can't breath and dies like a cake in a furnace.

But with short-ranged attack, it's much more difficult, because Seth has some kind of dirty automatisms. If you jump, he will do a special-shoryuken. If you jump and kick, he will grab and throw you. If you only high-kick him, he we do a kick then his 25-hits kick.

It's not a matter of being a noob or not, it's just that the boss has something weird about his AI, and if with some characters he's really sweet, with others he's a pain in the ass. I can beat the game in Hard with Ken without losing a continue, but passing hours to try to beat Seth on Very Easy with Chun-Li.

The game is really good, but i the random difficulty of Seth alters my feelings. Sometimes i love it, sometimes i hate it.

tee_bag2425555d ago

He probably has priority hit detection ;)
But he is a boss after all

Solbadguy5555d ago

in Street Fighter Alpha 3 is harder than Seth so I ain't complaining.

Reibooi5555d ago

uhhh Am i missing something Seth is damn easy even on the default difficultly.

Panthers5555d ago

It appears that he is easy with certain characters and harder with others.

How Street Fighter IV Saved 2D Fighting Games (Ft. Maximilian Dood)

After Street Fighter II released in in 1991, it caused a fighting game explosion, both in arcades and in home consoles. But, as the decade ended, and arcades were failing, so too were 2D Fighting games. This is how Street Fighter IV completely revitalized the genre.

I'd say Blazblue helped too. Didn't care for Street Fighter 4, but Blazblue was amazing during that time. Sad that the series kind of went downhill after the first 2 or 3 games though.

DarXyde324d ago

BlazBlue was phenomenal. Platinum'd Calamity Trigger because I loved it so much. I remember buying Continuum Shift back in the day at launch for like $40. They did have DLC characters (Valkenhayne, Makoto, and Platinum at the time) and it came out to just a tad more than it would at full price. Didn't mind at all.

Great fighting game.

Snookies12324d ago

Continuum Shift was definitely my favorite. Spent way too many hours on that game, haha... Had the counters for days with Hakumen.

DarXyde324d ago

I really like Makoto, Valkenhayne, and Hazama. Super fun characters

Terry_B324d ago

Valkenhayn ..just sayin'

Terry_B325d ago

BlazBlue was the much better, more technical game..and a real 2D Fighting Game after all. But yes, since it was a big name..the characters were still popular and the game itself was good, SFIV indeed helped a lot. However, I am pretty sure the much better-selling Mortal Kombat 9 would have been done without SFIV as well..and that one truly helped to make the fighting game genre in general more popular again.

Ryuha1234h324d ago

You’re sound dumb. Blazblue was not better than sf4. You’re just saying that because you’re a street fighter hater.

A SF Hater eh? Fight me in SF 2,3 4 or 5 and you will regret that stupid comment ;)

gold_drake324d ago (Edited 324d ago )

eyyy max xD

one of the very few streamers i can actually watch without it being cringe and awful ha.

GhostScholar324d ago

The content of IV was severely lacking when it launched. It got better over time.

Street Fighter Producer Says Fans Need To "Convince" Nintendo, If They Want More Entries On Switch

In the same interview at EGX 2019 recently, Capcom and Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono responded to a fan question asking if there were any plans to bring the fourth or fifth entries in the series to the Nintendo Switch.

gamer78041656d ago

they botched SFV so bad, just start over, make a new version with proper single player mode and fully fleshed out with support for all of the consoles this time.

King91656d ago (Edited 1656d ago )

Gamer7804@ they already did kinda it call sf5ae it help sf5 sell like another 2 million copies.

Teflon021656d ago

SFV is actually great now. Bunch of modes, bunch of characters, alot of stages, not sure what else there is to even complain about. Costume MTX? Not a issue imo, I don't get what I don't want anyways

gamer78041655d ago

botched launch, and they launched only on one console and currently after a long time still on one console.

Enigma_20991656d ago

Did you see how Ultra and the Collection sold? We don't need to convince Nintendo of anything. Just put it on the console.PHYSICALLY.

King91656d ago

Enigma_2099@ they probably have to make a new sf game just for the switch they probably will need Nintendo to help fund it just like sony help fund sf5.

PhoenixUp1656d ago

You’re not seeing Street Fighter V come to other platforms besides PC because Sony helped co-fund the game so it’s staying only on PS4 & PC

NapalmSanctuary1655d ago (Edited 1655d ago )

Don't know why anybody would want SF5 on Switch. Especially if they owned a Switch.

rainslacker1656d ago

That doesn't makes sense. Is Nintendo saying that Capcom can't publish the game on the system because it's users don't want the game? if so, that's really stupid of them, because why should they care?

Nintendo isn't saying such things of course.

Capcom shouldn't pass the buck. If they don't want to make more SF games on the Switch, then just say so, and say why.

If they want Nintendo to fund the project, then they are the ones that need to convince Nintendo to give them money.
