Capcom admits to overpowered Seth and Sagat in Street Fighter IV

I never want to see seth ever again in SP.
I can't beat normal because of him I can own all the other fights but not him he's soo cheap!

But I still got all the characters playing on easy :(

Seth is a total bitch, but I never had too much trouble against Sagat. Although it's hard to deny that Sagat has a bit too much priority with his special moves.

Sagat is a push over, Seth was the number one issue with this game in my opinion and there are a few. So past the fact that I may have gotten to an age where playing this past an hour is painfully repetitive and boring, I have to say Seth is a game breaker. Oh and playing online isn't as fun as I'd imagined for so many years it would be. Players are some cheap game exploiting hacks. I swear, it it weren't for the fact I'm a completionist (AKA Achievement Whore) I would have quit the game after 5 matches online, regardless if I won or lost a match it wasn't any fun.

The Street Fighter series, including Alphas, is my fave of all time by just the amount of time I've put into it in my life time up till now and the amount of quarters & time I put into arcade machines, even after I owned it for the Super Nintendo.

Pfft, everybody knows that Sagat is like Cable; with that in mind, I just hope that Capcom will NOT nerf Sagat, seeing how nerfing will kick Sagat off from and out of being the best character in the game.

I don't understand how people have problems with Sagat. He's not that difficult to defeat. Many of his attacks leave him wide open for some pretty massive combos. Vega and Blanka are my problem...*sigh*

This is why a ton of people hate fighting games. Balanced fighting games are few and far between so why spend all of your time understanding a character and learning the intricacies of the game if some jackass can roll up and beat you with some sound button mashing combined with an OP character.

Well, I think most people knew this, SFIV is pretty poorly balanced, I really think Capcom should have spent more time working on this. They COULD always release a patch for the game, but that may piss off longterm players. I had a friend who repicked his main cause his previous character wasn't a good enough tier. You shouldn't have to do that in any fighter, every character should be competitive, with no more than 5.5 ratio favouring a character.

They'll probably just ride on it, changing too much may be a bad idea, with so much competition coming out for 2D fighters. We already have BlazBlue (which is almost perfectly balanced, except Haku and Tager being too weak) and soon we'll have KoF XII too (remains to be seen how that will pan out).

SF's glory days are a couple generations back, with SF2 imo. They can always return to that though. Capcom isn't going anywhere anytime soon, and they'll learn from their mistakes I am sure.

Sagat has always been top tier and extremely powerful. Why is it an "issue" now? Seth is just corny. I feel that generally, the game has good balance though.

Is it only me who thinks this game is SERIOUSLY lacking a story mode.

Its like there's a start scene... and then a almost random ending scene that does nothing to explain the events inbetween.

Too bad 95% of online players out there refuse to play anything but the lame characters of KEN & RYU......

Overpowered Seth and Sagat? That's it? How about overpowered Abel? His throw drains nearly 1/3rd of an opponents health meter, and every other character's throws do only half that, even Seth's. Tone that **** down, there's no way Abel's throw should be that powerful.

im a street fighter noob and i beat them both after a couple of tries the first time i played. quit your whining internet.

I can't believe that no one has talked about Akuma.

I think I've beaten Akuma maybe 3 or 4 times .... out of the 20 or so that I've lost to that stupid bullshit tactic of shooting from far, then jumping and shooting and repeating ....

i wasn't aware you can play as them in multiplayer. thats the SF noob part coming into play

Sagat can use a makeover, but he's honestly not that bad. You can learn to deal with him, but he still gives a lot of trouble. At least you know what to expect against Sagat; after so many generations of fighters, you always had to deal with him.

The main problem people have with Zangeif is not knowing how to fight him; Zangeif changes the way the game is played, so you can't fight him like any other game. His matchups are generally positive, but he doesn't have as many overwhelming matchups as Sagat does; most characters have a few moves in their arsenal they can zone him out with.

Seth is good when played perfectly, but if you can play Seth perfectly, then you can play any other character perfectly. His low health and damage really balance him out, unlike Sagat.

But who the hell is going to read this? It's on the second page.

Wow, that is truly amazing!

Its true that Seth is impossibly hard to beat. And at first that pissed me off because I was like, "Aaargh!!! Why would you make a game unbeatable!?" and then one day I beat him on ultra hard. And I will remember that day for the rest of my life. Very satisfying indeed...

i'm sorry but, the only people still bitching about this are scrubs. nobody in the street fighter community cares. we for damn sure aren't worried about sagat and seth players. sagat is in no way like o.sagat in super turbo. seth has less health than akuma. fierce punch him 3 times to take the round. you have to have the utmost excellent of execution skills to be able to properly play seth for that matter. most of his specials overlap each other so you can very easily get the wrong move at any given moment. the only thing you have to worry about is the fact that he can crossup with with roundhouse, and a small combo afterwards will put you on the road to quickly getting your ass stunned. but only if you let him.


sagat players tend to be too forumlaic with him. easy to read with a little bit of patience and skill. only thing i can really complain about him is that they gave him a jump in overhead attack that he really didn't need. aside from that, everyone running this story needs to stfu cuz they probably aren't even playing street fighter anymore, or they're too damn scrubby to learn how to play the game right and beat not just players using those characters, but just anyone in general. flowchart ken won't take you very far i'm afraid.

yes sagat is so overpowered that that a dhalsim won the japan nationals, and ryu won the korean nationals, while rufus won worlds tournament. Wait wtf no sagat in there?

First to say "Ryu and Ken are holding a sword, omg."
HAHA! You all blow for not stating the obvious which happens to be cool!!!!1 Youth rules!
