Under Night In-Birth/UNIST/Seth

“

He wanders -- Bound by the will and governing of an ancient family, but his emotions tremor. The promise he made with a young girl shackles him, in rusty chains he strives to sever. The Night becomes a labyrinth, impeding his progress. Will he ever find the beacon he seeks?

”

Story

A young boy feared from those who know him as the "Assassin". He appears before certain power users, challenging them to duels, but no one knows why. Or, for that matter, who he is. However, the moment he heard the name, "Princess of the Night Blade", his attitude changed. His emotionless face was no longer so. Since that day, he wanders the town, searching for the princess, not on anyone's orders.

“

You ran away from your destiny once... Why return to the Hollow Night now?

”

Gameplay

Seth is a speedy glass cannon that is all about getting in by using his movement to set an orb so you can mix up your opponent using his teleports, staggers and command grabs. He plays by entirely different rules than the rest of the cast, easily putting unprepared opponents into a state of disarray.

From HellaBrett's Seth Primer

Strengths	Weaknesses
Amazing close and mid-range normals. Extremely fast run speed. Vast repertoire of air options making him hard to pin down and extremely mobile. Actual mixups and crossups that bypass protection. Strong okizeme. Fast untechable command throw.	Ineffective at long range. Relatively high execution. Lacks conventional backdash. Limited stagger windows on many normals. No easy ways to end with frame advantage.

Normal Moves

5A	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 170 H,L Se,Sp,EX,CS - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 5 2 12 18 -2 - Short fast horizontal slash with knife. Good hitbox for catching jumping opponents but don't expect it to outright beat anything.

5B	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 415 H,L Sp,EX,CS - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 7 5 15 26 -4 - Circular slash with knife. Decent hitbox (for Seth) and prorates well, making it a good combo starter.

5C	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 350 H,L Sp,EX,CS - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 10 4 17 30 -9 - Seth steps forward and slashes. Moves Seth forward, giving it the longest range out of all of Seth's basic ground normals.

5CC	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 388 H,L Sp,EX,CS - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 4 4 21 28 -7 - Followup to 5C. Seth lunges forward in an animation similar to 66C. Primarily combo filler, don't use it on block since it's super unsafe and you can't chain into any other normals off this.

2A	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 140 L Se,Sp,EX,CS - - Foot Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 5 2 12 18 -2 - Short kick that hits low. Very fast for a low (5f) and can be mashed for stagger pressure, but prorates badly.

2B	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 410 L Sp,EX,CS - - Foot Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 6 5 13 23 -2 - Slash that hits low. Better range and proration than 2A but reach is still average. Still extremely fast (6f) for a low with good proration and respectable range.

2C	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 543 L Sp,EX,CS - - Foot Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 8 2(2)2 17 30 -1 - Low sweep that hits low. Both hits must be blocked low and Seth can cancel into other normals on either hit, allowing you to vary up your chains a bit. As an added bonus, the second hit is extremely safe on block

j.A	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 140 H,AS Sp,EX,CS - - Head Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 8 4 12(2) 23 Varies - Downwards-angled kick. Good downwards hitbox but has short range overall. Take advantage of the speed to call out opponents expecting slower jump-ins like j.B or j.C.

j.B	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 410 H,AS Sp,EX,CS - - Head Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 10 3 18(3) 30 Varies - Double slash to both sides with both knives. Has an excellent crossup hitbox and covers all directions well.

j.C	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 510 H,AS Sp,EX,CS - - Head Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 12 3 18(4) 32 Varies - Double downwards slash with both knives. Has an extremely deep vertical hitbox making it excellent for jump-ins, and also has a decent horizontal hitbox for air-to-air, but don't expect to beat out everything with it.

Command Normals

6C

Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 600 H Sp,EX,CS - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 28 1 16 44 -6 Foot invincible frames 15~28 Seth flips forward and kicks. Pretty obvious even as far as UNIST overheads go but has good range and is fairly safe on block. Can be canceled into air movement for some real mixups, or used in combos for the long aerial knockdown enabling extended combos.

3B	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 430 H,L Sp,EX,CS - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 10 4 17 30 -3 Head invincible frames 8~13 Seth stabs above his head with his knife. Sort of an anti-air but has a weak hitbox making it not actually that well-suited for that purpose.

3C	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 590 H,L Sp,EX,CS - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 10 3 27 39 -12 Head invincible frames 8~12 High upwards slash with knife. Better anti-air hitbox than 3B. Starter for a lot of seth's most damaging combos.

j.6C	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 510 H,AS Sp,EX,CS - - Head Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 26 6 17 44 -9 - Same as 6C except doable in the air. Primarily used for comboing opponents.

j.2C	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 420 H,L,A Sp,EX,CS - - Head Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 9 Until land (13) 22 -1 - Divekick. Fairly safe on block as Seth will bounce off the opponent on hit or block; you have air movement afterwards as well as being able to press buttons.

j.22/j.2A+B	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute - - CS - - - Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul - - (16) - - - Fastfall. Seth quickly drops straight down to the ground. Has some recovery so try not to land somewhere you can be punished.

j.22~6X	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 810 H,L Sp,Ex,CS - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 16 4 21 40 -7 Throw invincible frames 4~19 Follow up from fast fall. Seth teleports behind the opponent and launches them with a kick. While in vorpal the follow up can be done from further away.

j.44	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute - - - - - - Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul - - (12) 17 - - Air backdash. Unlike ground backdash, does not cost GRD. Can be canceled into other air movement options, i.e. Assault or fastfall. Can also be performed with j.4A+B.

Dash Normals

66B	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 608 H,L Sp,EX,CS - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 7 2(4)4 14 30 -2 - Knee kick into 5B slash. Vacuum's in and special cancelable mostly combo filler but can be used for mixup, extremely safe on block

66C	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 690 H,L Sp,EX,CS - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 11 4 16 30 -8 - Wide wallslam slash. Strong move that can be used for cross ups, meaties, and to cover space

Abyssal Geometry B+C

Throw A+D	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 1575 UNB - - - Throw Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 4 1 22 26 +18(hit) - Seth grabs the opponent and slashes them away with a rising uppercut.

Guard Thrust

Guard Thrust ガードスラスト 214D

214D Normal Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 0 Mid - Launch 100 EXS, GRD Break Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 15 5 26 45 -12 1~15 Full, 16~45 Full on hit 214D Vorpal Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 0 Mid - Launch Vorpal Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 12 5 26 42 -12 1~15 Full, 16~45 Full on hit Blows the opponent away on hit. Usable only during blockstun. Generally better to use while in Vorpal as it's faster and costs less resources.

Veil Off

Veil Off ヴェールオフ A+B+C

A+B+C Normal Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 0 Mid, Air - Launch, Wall Bounce, GRD Break 100+ EXS Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 20 2 [7 (3 on hit) on landing] 58 (54 on hit) -13 1~30 Full A+B+C Full Charge Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 0 Mid, Air - Launch, Wall Bounce, GRD Break 100+ EXS Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 68 2 [7 (2 on hit) on landing] 108 (103 on hit) -14 1~91 Full Universal reversal that blows the opponent back on hit. Airborne: 1~52, Standing: 53~59. For Full Charge version: Airborne: 1~101, Standing: 102~108. Requires at least 100 meter and puts you in Veil Off state which grants 20% more damage, but drains your meter at a slow rate. Meter drains much slower when health is below 30% (orange health). You can hold down A+B+C to delay activation and gain a few extra benefits, but doing so is highly unrecommended unless trying to run the clock as this move already has a long start up as is. A+B+C Cross Cast Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 0 Mid, Air - Launch 100+ EXS, Vorpal Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 2 4 20 25 +3 1~19 Full Cancels an action and launches the opponent high into the air on hit. Airborne: 1~25. CVO cancel is treated the same as EX cancel, you can only CVO when you can EX and the opponent is in hit/blockstun. Including in the air. Requires at least 100 meter and consumes vorpal state and drains meter at a fast rate. Has a lot of hitstun, making it easy to combo from. Grants an additional bounce if both have been used in the combo so far. If the opponent does end up hitting the ground during the combo, damage is prorated. Pressing A+B+C can be used for a shortcut for Infinite Worth. Used mostly as a way to tack on extra damage, or to reliably close out the round.

The last two active frames don't move very far, so in practice, it's -3 at max range. B Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 810 H,L,A EX,CS - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 15 9 25 48 -12~-3 - Same as the A version, but slower startup and travels further.

In hitstun, the move will hit the opponent twice and pop them up. Not particularly useful for combos. B Follow-up Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 819 H,L,A Sp,EX,CS - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 16+1 6 (3) 41 +80 - A dark flash appears and Seth will appear in the air diagonally above the opponent.

Runs forward very quickly, so it can be used to punish a HUGE mistake, but the start-up prevents it from being used on a whim. On hit, it sideswaps and pulls the screen back to midstage, but leaves you extremely plus next to your opponent: you have enough time to set an orb and do a meaty crossup 66C, even if your opponent back techs.
