I had to beat him in time hard 5 and survival hard 5 trials.

I used the following tactic:
0) He opens with low hands attack. Jump to him and block high.
He will attack with something.
Jump behind him and larnyat on landing. He falls down.

1) Come close to him in grappling range. As he stands up jump again over his head. He will try to grapple and eat another larnyat. Repeat.

2) If he hits you or something is going wrong. Do the 360 motion and EX-kicks. Zangief will come to him in EX mode and grapple him. Normally Seth only makes one attack, which is absorbed by EX.

As he stands up proceed with (1).

First, he's not the CHEAPEST boss. That would be Akuma from Street Fighter II Turbo HD remix. In my opinion, Akuma is *definitely* cheaper than Seth from Street Fighter 4. Seth, though, is amazingly cheap. No one is denying that fact. But, like any boss, he is controlled by AI, a set of patterns, and can be defeated.

So, how do you beat him? I'll admit I'm not the best at fighting games, but here are two tactics I have used as Ryu.

1). If you're doing this so you can unlock the unlockable characters, consider just putting the difficulty on "easiest," all the way to the left.
2). Set the match length to 1 round. It's easier this way.

With Ryu (warning: this will sound cheap, and it is...but Seth is very cheap himself, so you kind of have to fight fire with fire), do his jump-in-face-kick + sweep maneuver, back up a bit, wait for Seth to reset, wash rinse and repeat. Throw a haduken at him every once in a while, and never let him jump at you off the walls (just shoryuken him every time).

If you're playing this on any other difficulty, the jump-in-face-kick + sweep maneuver *will not work.* At least not in my experience. He'll octo-shoryuken you into outer space if you jump at him like that. Instead, haduken spam him a lot. Stay a medium distance away from him at all times: not a full screen away, and not really in striking distance either. This will put him in a tough spot. If he lunges in, most times you can just sweep him. If he launches off the wall at you, shoryuken him.

That's all I got for now. Anyone have any other strategies for beating Seth?

I usually pick Ryu and jump in, fierce punch, crouch punch Shoryuken link combo and maybe tatsumaki every now and then. It usually works up to Medium difficulty.

Guile's flash kick is really good against him as well, just turtle and when he comes near flash kick.
