Super Street Fighter 4 AE 2012: Kazunoko Seth footage from Godsgarden TV

Posted by Nyoro — December 17, 2011 at 10:07 a.m. PST

UPDATE: More footage of Kazunoko fighting with his Yun and Seth vs. Naruo's Ryu has been added into the story courtesy of Ov3rheadGreg.

Godsgarden streamed a bunch of matches with Kazunoko facing off with his Seth against Nekojita's Abel, KSK's Abel, Itabashi's Zangief and an unknown Ryu. SMOAI2010 managed to pick up the stream archive so that we could get a look at Kazunoko's Seth.

You can see similar tricks shared between Kazunoko's Yun and Seth in this video, including whiffing a throw and using that chance to buffer a dragon punch. It also doesn't look like Abel has many answers to Seth's tricks in the matchup.

I'm hoping to see a pro still using Yun, or heck, starts using Yun now. I like the matches where Poongko used Yun :P

He had a few good tricks, but he wasn't unlike any other good Seth I've seen. Doesn't make him any worse though, Seth is still immensely powerful in high level play.

Eternal said on December 17, 2011 at 8:53 a.m.

Honestly, his Seth is really good but I feel like 1v1 PoongKO's Seth would absolutely destroy him. Of course PoongKO made the Bandwagon that everyone in Japan is jumping on now so he has way more practice.

1.27 to 1.29 when the sonic boom kills Zangief Kazunoko looks at him and says, Hold that!

@4 not only that OnlineTony's Seth will destroy him too. I can see Kazunoko winning with Seth but I have a hard time seeing him reaching the level he was previously with Yun. I think Seth belongs to the same category as Viper for being a character that's a bit too crazy for the Japanese to understand fully.

5.37 to 5.50 who says Japanese dont get hype. LOLz. love it

OnlineTony's Seth over Kazunoko's? LMFAO

Schiff said on December 17, 2011 at 9:13 a.m.

the Ryu player should be Naruo.... he played a set also against Xian's Gen

I don't think Online Tony's Seth is particularly good. Online Tony himself as a player? Yes. His Seth play leaves much to be desired however. Kaz's is def better on both fronts.

of course online tony cant beat kuzanoko. just like how tony didnt beat poongko's seth in casuals before evo. no way that an american cant beat a japanese player. thats just unheard of now in days. its impossible for a american to ever go to japan and get 4th place with honda in a gaunlet of sagats. its impossible for an american to ocv a japanese team with viper. these things NEVER happened......GIVE ME A F*CKING BREAK.

A couple of these posters do seem overly sensitive. Seriously:

@4, What bandwagon? How is everyone jumping on this bandwagon? Does giving a good player respect exemplify this badwagon mentality of which you speak?

@6 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall a lot of talented US players journeying to Japan recently. Didn't they say something like: "Japan has Viper on lock"? I also remember Uryo's C Viper being pretty badass way back when.

Kazu's Seth is pretty good, but not good enough to where he can win tournaments. He still looks like he doesn't really understand matchups too well with the character, which is fine. Once he puts more time into Seth, I know he'll do very well.
Also, all this talk about Onlinetony not being able to beat Kazu's Seth is ridiculous. Tony has been playing Seth since Vanilla, while Kazu just recently picked up the character. Kazu's Seth looks more keepaway than risky rushdown, which really doesn't fit Seth's gameplan in AE/2012 after the jumping limbs nerf. I've seen tony do extremely well against these types of Seths in mirror matches and I've seen him hold his own against Poongko. To say that he can't beat Kazu is just silly.

That's racism.

Kaz's Seth is pretty damn solid but it seemed that Naruo hasn't played against Seth much.

#24

Asmiliz said on December 17, 2011 at 5:50 p.m.

#23 No its not. A certain region will develop a certain style, and too play on high level in japanese arcades you cant be too risky so they developed a very cautious playstyle. The risky style cant really be developed because it gets stuffed. Sure there might be Japanese players that also play risky, but they most likely didn't learn in the arcades.

kind of like how non-japanese don't understand yun, yang, fei or sagat?

godot12 said on January 10, 2012 at 2:06 p.m.

I think that Poongko has the best Seth by far, but Kaz, Hiropon, and roxas all have very solid Seths as well.
