c/p from another forum, it took me almost 2 hours to beat seth (with crimson.viper)
i raped him hard with ryu, so i think anyone w/o a projectile attack is in for a treat.

Seriously, this is ******* ridiculous.
I hadn't thought too much of the complaining about him because people tend to overreact about new bosses in fighting games (I remember the talk of how cheap DOA4's boss is and yet after just a little practice she became easy to deal with). After spending an hour just to beat him ONE ROUND I can safely say he is easily the cheapest boss I have gone against besides the witch chick in Guilty Gear X 2 who had that move that basically insta-killed you...
Seths character isn't overpowered per-say but his AI even in easiest is just beyond ridiculous. You can actually learn the programming of the AI just by watching how he reacts to you. You see, Seths AI is actually programmed to react based on your input. At one point I watched him attack every single time I stopped moving backwards.
I originally thought focus attacks would be really useful but they aren't. Try charging one up and he immediately grabs you. The only things I found effective against him are grabs of your own (which mind you is a dangerous tactic seeing as anything he does seems to trump you) and landing dash attacks on him.
I thought T-Hawks priority was ridiculous in HDRemix but Seth takes it to a WHOLE new level.
Quite honestly anything Seth does beats anything you do. Go for an ultra move and he will actually attack you while you're in the middle of your ultra. he will grab you while your fist/foot is in his face, and alot of times he will grab you a fraction of a second after you go to grab.
On top of all this, I actually watched him spam sonic booms at me to the point where I watched half my health go just blocking (I was trying a completely defensive strategy at that point).
I have no clue how you are suppossed to avoid his ultra. I think there might be a way but I haven't found it yet.
Probably his worst cheese is his teleport. This mother ****** will actually telport behind you and imediately grab you. Not only does his teleporting give him cheap hits, but it is made harder to counter by the fact that he randomly teleports in front of AND behind you and anytime he goes behind you it completely ruins any drectional input you had in for a counter-attack.
But yeah, I just figured I should warn/advise people here on the BS to expect with Seth. Prepare to basically depend on luck because I could consitently kick his ass yet he always pulled miracle comebacks...
