SF4 Development meeting - 12/15/08

"OK everybody let's discuss this. We're almost done here with this amazing game, let's just iron out some details for our final boss. am I clear on these points?"

★you guys remember that game soulcaliber, right? awesome fucking game, I saw my son playing it the other day. let's make the boss inferno. only, not.
★hey I also saw this show "dragonball" the other day, you guys see that? it's KICKASS!!!!1!!!! I want our boss to look like this guy frieza. but taller, and give him abel's face. that'll confuse people.
★As long as we're stuck in the 90s, let's make his battle stage Hank Scorpio's lair from The Simpsons and populate it with those guys from the wacky Intel ads from the superbowl 10 years ago. God I'm fresh.
★His normal attacks do 150-200% more damage than any character, right? sounds AWESOME!!!!
★He can interrupt other characters "unblockable" attacks with a grab
★I'm tired of all these "cool sounding" bad guy boss names. I want something approachable, that will really humiliate talented players by having their ass handed to them by the name of a guy they use to beat up in high school. Seth, any comment? ok we'll go with "seth".
★I don't want anyone interrupting his awesome grabs. Let's make them unblockable.
★he will build up special gauge 2x faster than normal, because he's awesome.
★I bet if we made him teleport I'd feel like I had a larger penis
★I love this whole "dragon punch" thingie. Doug, it's sweet. But I want it to have the range of a fireball, do 10x the damage and be able to hit from the front and from the air.
★finally, I want to make sure some characters don't have any moves to significantly damage him in any meaningful way. After all, we need quarters. We'll leave that function in the home console version and later charge people dlc to beat him
★sounds good, let's ship this motherfucker!

What is it with allowing fighting game bosses to teleport? I'm not getting SF until tomorrow, but I can already tell this fight is going to drive me crazy.

I wholeheartedly agree. I got lucky my first run through on medium, as Seth was a pushover. That has never happened again. It took me over 25 times to beat him the next time on medium. Fucking medium. This guy is severely broken.

@Guagloves
Bison's a fucking pushover compared to Seth.

@Usedtabe
Yeah, the same thing happened to me. I ran wild like a hulkamaniac over Seth my first time on Medium... after that I couldnt fucking touch the guy even on EASY mode. So I just said screw it and went to Easiest just to unlock a few people.

I gave up when he grabbed me out of the middle of a charged spinning bird kick. The one that activates instantly. that had already hit him once for damage. btw I think he's harder on easy than medium sometimes. depends on the character.

Seth can suck a bag of dicks! That guy owes me a new dualshock 2. I haven't had a boss fight piss me off to the point of breaking stuff since Justice from Guilty Gear.

I had a real hearty lol one time when I went into Ken's Ultra Combo , just out of Seths reach but close enough to hit him, and the fucker grabs me and piledrives my ass, teleports behind me, and piledrives me again. At that point I was so frustrated all I could do was laugh.

And for a heads up, I've been reading online that if you want to beat him on the hardest mode setting, set the rounds to "1" and the timer to "30" seconds. Then pick Zangief and spam his spinning lariat. Apparently this works, haven't tried it yet.

At least God Rugal in Millionaire Fighting you could kill by spamming Blanka's roll attack.

I tried that on Seth.

It went poorly.

I just watched someone struggle against him on the easiest setting. This is someone I cannot beat if my life depended on it. We both feel deeply humiliated.

For people like me who need to see ending credits, this could be a little detail that keeps me from playing.

I'm a freak that needs to always beat single player mode before going onto multiplayer (meat and gravy of SF)

Hehe, I'm not getting the game until tomorrow, but I'm really interested in this now.

One of my most satisfying gaming moments is beating Shin Akuma on expert, so part of me is excited about a completely unfair fight.

Then again, cheap broken bosses are a no no in general from a game design point of view.

Seth really takes the fun out of arcade mode. I figured out that when you get knocked down and he teleports 3 times, just grab when you get up to throw him away. Learn to deal with his stupid little patterns. I'm able to win most matches against Seth now without continues.

Are you guys playing on the hardest setting or some shit? Because I played him on Medium and destroyed his ass. Perfect on one round, ultra combo finish the next.

And I'm an okay Street Fighter player.

@Kryptinite: WAs that your first match against him? As some of us have already stated, he was almost a pushover the first time on medium. Only subsequent times did he show his cheapness.

I heard that his chip damage sucks so just wait till he tosses a projectile and jump kick him, rinse repeat.

But bosses like Seth is why I hate fighting games, it would be nice if more companies took a page from Virtua Fighter and just challenged you instead of making the boss a cheap-ass piece of shit.

Galagabug is right. Sounds like Seth has some wacky AI going on. I've only fought him a couple times so far on medium, but he seems to be really vulnerable to crouching hard kicks. Also, jump the hell away from his supers.

I can't think of the last time I played a fighting game and the boss wasn't completely fucking broken. But this sounds like a particularly egregious offense. There is nothing worse than a boss that you can't beat with skill alone: he has to let you win.

Was getting my ass whipped as Vega until i realised he always falls for the jump punch, one two punch combo. Like everytime. No fancy supers, nothing. Just cheap him to death. Mother Fucker.

Still not as bad as Gill from SF3rd strike

First round, he's pretty much a push over most of the time, but the second round is where all bets are off and he becomes a monster.

The guy can teleport instantaneously and repeatedly in only a second. He has a throw that can be pulled off without a delay and can catch you in pretty much any situation (i.e. jumping, crouching, blocking, in the middle of moves, before completely recovering from falling, etc.) and he spams it repeatedly. He has a suction move, both normal and as an Ultra Combo, that can cancel almost anything you're doing and the only way to avoid it is to be lucky and be in the middle of a high jump when he's trying it. The CPU can predict your jump attempts and counter with an uppercut.

He's just a pain in the ass.

I perfected him with El Fuerte. :P

But it was on easy.

On medium difficulty I can perfect him in the first round, but then it gets a bit rough.

I got to Seth the other night as Crimson Viper. Took me a good 45 minutes to beat the fucker.

He may not be the cheapest boss ever (I can think of several...Devil Jin, Gill, Dark Khan), but Seth comes pretty fucking close.

At least he has no Resurrection move...

you want to be a real douche bag, play as Seth in Ranked Battles with people who lag and just do his pull towards you move and dragon punch over and over.

I'm glad they gave him the yin yang too, makes him so MYSTERIOUS and gives him the image that he shops at Spencer Gifts in the Blacklight Poster display.
