Arturo (Seth) vs Paul Wall (Akuma, Rufus) @ Wallcade Singles SF4 7/11/09

[soocl0se]

Man I love this Seth!

[akablakk]

cheap cheap cheap cheap

[ZigZagRunner]

seth is cheaper than dhalsim

[kasumimoon1961]

whenever i hear paul wall i always think of the rapper then im like oooh its not him

o.o lol

[ganonfan08]

Guys its a game its for having fun goodness lol

[KBoogs719]

worst akuma costume ever

[someguyhunter]

@KBoogs719 akuma got that costume from the pretzel factory

[spooned0]

nice try on the unblockable

[akclark09]

Playing seth how Arturo was playing him (runaway defense seth) doesn't take skill. To use him offensively like Poonkgo and others do, takes insane skill. Is it noobish to play runaway? Not at all. Does it take skill? Hell no

[Zurround100]

where the hell is SETH from what flag is that?



[j0wwww]

poor akuma

[Bluedragon9151]

God, there's just something about Arturo that I can't stand. I hope someone someday puts him in his place.

[CrazyLarry85]

why was rufus taking very little damage per hit?

[Deadarknight]

@CrazyLarry85 it is damage scaling, just incase something like that happens you would really die at the end, for example a 99 hit combo is less effective to do a lot of damage than doing 9 separate 10 hit combos

[mattrospecs]

seth to win like this does require a lot of skill. my seth gets opened up like a can of corn. the margin for error is much smaller for mistakes than other characters

[jchambers444]

This is one of the best Seth matches i've seen...GG.

[jeiting]

Question to all............Arturo's seth or OnlineTony? haha ide say hands down onlinetony

[KiddDynamite270]

@jeiting what are u talking about man, online tony an arturo are about the same skill level in using seth

[personx1x]

Looks like Rufus gains health at 2:03-2:04

[Mach3Maelstrom]

Damn, that 46 hit combo was scaled so hard Rufus started gaining health...

[Dridokof]

Good stuff.

[SithLordRagnos]

Holy crap. Arturo is THE best Seth player I've ever seen.

That 46 hit combo made me have to change my shorts...

[ChangBIGman]

I knew that guys akuma was bound to fail because it looked like he tried to use that seth player's strategy then got tired of running began to chase. It worked but then a little too much chasing, and yet its so frustrating when you try to fight another player who uses a spam long range attack/ run away/ combo counters

[stickyresin]

This is the type of Seth that is easy to beat. That Rufus kept thinking he had to get in close to do damage, when really all he had to do was attack Seth's limbs as he threw them out.

[thecreepyguy]

Thats fucking ridiculous how little damage that combo did to rufus

[tayoUSAkanAYETOROkan]

46 hits omg nice

[3DarkTemplar]

this is one reason i how SSF4 change the damage stats 1:55 MAN i say that was Bull shit no mater what character

after a stun they combos are weak

[MADBALL9991]

Wow. Anyone that knocks Seth has obviously never tried him before. One, he's weak as hell and can't take a hit, thus the reason you have to run sometimes. Two, his hits cause very little damage at all which makes any Seth player have to work even harder to cause the damage that Ryu or Ken can cause with a simple fierce punch. @Peetizzle, try maining Seth for a day and see how long you last moron.

[ZabuzaNsc]

Peetizzle , noob seth ? Can you do better ? If yes add me " draketha8ful " ( ps3 ) I'll show what a good seth is ( and eventually Gen , my main ). I'm not at Arturo level's for sure , but speaking like that about him isn't giving much more doubt about the issue of our future match ...

[DaRkXyStEr]

@Peetizzle I'm so glad that Seth is so boring, he can play play only one what well. He is pretty good at running away and dashing in and getting some damage in, so either way, it really just depends on what you think you can do in the situation you're in. Arturo is pretty good, but I'm sure that he isnt every Seth users favorite, like Ogawas Eddie in GG. I prefer watching Isa's Eddie more even though Ogawas is better

[snkammar2]

seems like arturo has a easier time with rufus using dhalsim

[crazyindeedman]

3:13 was a missed ultra :\

[IamTheMaximum]

@Peetizzle You're an idiot. Arturo Sanchez is a great player. AND Seth takes skill. You're a noob for having saying something so stupid and ignorant.

[Peetizzle]

Lol fuck you ignorant prick:D It doesn't matter what he did in other matches (even though I doubt he's any good if he needs to resort to such lame tactics)

I'm not saying Seth doesn't take skill u dumb fuck, I'm saying the way this match was played, he was a runaway Sethnoob, just as there are tons of shotonoobs while that doesn't mean Daigo is one.

This match is refered to by countless websites as a prime example of how Seth is NOT supposed to be played. Onlinetony,now THAT'S a decent Seth

[PaNiiC28]

@Peetizzle if you knew the matchups youd think differently..ur not actually thinking through all the factors before making an opinion.. rufus has amazing rushdown game and as for akuma. its all about patience

[Peetizzle]

Seriously all he did was run away throughout the entire match. And no in this case it's NOT called zoning lol=D He doesn't show any skill whatsoever in this match and the lesser player most definitely won in this match. Unfortunately that's sometimes the case in SF4. But don't be expecting any praise either. I think it's fairly clear to everyone this Seth was way too afraid to fight, didn't show skill and relied too much on pussy noobtactics. Again, this match is known for showing a noobseth

[nfs9]

show me the sites or the channels that prove what you're saying.

[MilletGtr]

Take a look at 1.50.. Don't tell me you think that doesn't require skill. Arturo is a great player and if you look into it I bet you will agree. Having mained Seth for a while I know that some match-ups are really hard, Rufus is definitely one of them, if he gets close or lands one of his most damaging combos it's basically over. Arturo played it safe that's it, and referring high level game-play as noobtactics proves you know nothing about the game.

[darknessredefine]

@MilletGtr Well your kind of right arturo is a great player when he has sim but it really doesnt take skills to play a constant keep away game with seth.hiropon poonkgo || AUY || all have great seth and they rely on there offensive mixups to put fear in there opponents.Playing a very offensive minded game knowing that one touch from your opponent could take massive damage takes skill.If playing a constant keep away game with seth takes skill then i must have one great seth.He plays seth like sim

[UltimaWeapon08]

@Peetizzle You do realise that Seth has the lowest HP in SF4 and Rufus is an extremely good character when it comes to pressure? Know your matchups before you open your mouth, especially considering Arturo is probably one of the smartest players in the community.

[snkammar2]

@IamTheMaximum

a serious noob

[anyadat123123]

Seth is one of the better chars to watch!

[femtau]

seth is like.. high risk low reward for almost everything he does. get hit by any ultra, it's between 50-80% life. Some ultras are 600, he's got 700 life.. deals the least damage and takes the most. wat.. ; _ ;

[Mysterio467]

he actually has very little high risk moves in contrast to other characters.

He's got the best projectiles, the jumping speed of blanka, and the reach of Dhalsim. People only get inside on a good Seth player if he "lets" them inside.

[acidglow]

Nice

[johneysz89]

05:38

Double mudadda

I lold

[DarkProcrastinatioN]

FUCK. Arturo's combo @

1:50 - 2:05 was SICK

[wildfire3969]

I know they said they are adding some more, so lets hope for something more...fitting

[UltimaWeapon08]

Yeah because Ryu's torn up outfit is so much better right? -_-

[Kuya1991]

OH GOD AT 1:50

[wildfire3969]

ehhh did you even look at Akuma's, almost naked and with a ribbon on his back, he looks like a japanese male stripper

[dawhooper69]

can somebody explain 5:06 ? that looked absolutely retarded to me

[UltimaWeapon08]

akuma's reset demon flip vortex? thats what it is, its a set up for either a grab, a punished combo or ultra/super, but arturo didnt fall for it and grabed out of it.

[dawhooper69]

no, seth's sonic boom exdash ultra when akuma was still down...

[UltimaWeapon08]

thats a trick to make the opponent focus the boom, so he ex canceled to see if he could get a free ultra but it was a waste and he did it far too early. It was a mistake on arturo's part.

[lvilavong]

Seth got owned the first round lol

[IamTheMaximum]

Are you retarded? He did a ton of damage to Rufus that round.

[ROFLross]

46 hit combo, pretty cool.

Damn, I hate people who turtle in a corner like that - countering each jump, making the person stay on the ground and poking them far away.

[IamTheMaximum]

Seth has at least 300 less health than Rufus. Seth has to play keep away.

[Duo11]

450 less actually.

[horusreborn]

also counter picked with akuma and still got owned

[defaultuserDDD]

seth v akuma isn't a bad matchup.

Seth v sagat is.

[horusreborn]

Seth is so cheap...

[yunggun142]

1:50 - 2:04 beast

[amrika5]

seth player is good, 2nd round with rufus was really something

[Keysta7]

Good job Arturo!

[xXxCMOxNEYxXx]

And this is why wong and many top players feel that seth is broken. The only reason Arturo even loses is because it close game with seth isn't good.

[pepsitexaco]

2:04

lol fail

[bumbacutthoat]

counter picking with rufus? fail

[johneysz89]

but no really. He could have won with just a little pacience. Rufus has the matchup 6-4 in the eventhubs tierlists.

[lukaslabno]

46 HIT COMBO!

[biggnoobb]

akuma wasnt very good

[Moley87]

Squeaky Boom!

[anti0ptimism]

Haha, Match 2. Battle of the glass cannons.

[Toomnyusernae]

More power to the Seth player. Lots of work.

[UltimatePotato]

Awesome fight!

[KrownClown]

paul walla akuma is pretty good.

One bad thing about playing seth doh is if your low and he has ultra there is nothing you can do

[TheGameneo]

WTF at 4:16 isnt that An overhead attack? how the hell did he block it low?

[RiceLUMFAO]

you can block low on it.

[IchinShek]

SRK dive kick can be blocked low, air dive kick has to be blocked high I believe~

[raxzar]

Awesome timing in 2nd Round by seth.
