Street Fighter IV - Tips for an old SF2 fan

[Zen]

If you want an easy basic character to learn go with sagat, all you need to do is do is tiger shot over and over at intervals, use his high kick to stop jump inss, throw them if they get too close, thats a basic scrubby sagat, effective as hell, you can learn from there.

As to Seth, Ive found that his AI is pretty crappy, he used to beat my ass but now what I do is as the round starts, I dont jump in right away because i get anti aired, if you wait for a split second before jumping he will likely use his dhalsim like punch, giving you a free jump in combo, you get at the proper distance, rinse and repeat because he loves using that punch. as soon as he has ultra go on defense because he WILL be trigger happy with it.

That's worked the best for me with seth, I cant just play him normally, I find it funny i beat him with jump ins.
