Under Night In-Birth/UNICLR/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 who excels at close-range combat that is all about getting in by using his diverse movement options and independent orb projectile. Once he gets a hit, he can convert quickly into a knockdown, setting up his dangerous okizeme that can quickly overwhelm an opponent’s defenses.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Close-Range Fighter: Amazing close-range normals with great startup, recovery and frame-advantage. Strong for offense and defense. Mobility: Extremely fast run speed allowing him to close gaps quickly in neutral. Has a vast repertoire of air options, making him extremely mobile. Captive Segment: An independent tracking projectile which does not go away when Seth blocks. Makes it scary to challenge Seth whenever it is out. Allows for freeform pressure, mixups, and screen control. Coloquially known as "orb". Conversion Ability: Great damage with strong combo conversion ability into okizeme. Mixup Game: Has access to a fast command throw, unblockable setups, and a vast library of okizeme options. Defensive Options: High reward off of most defensive options.

Fragile: Lowest health in the game. Small Effective Range: Has difficulty threatening opponents at fullscreen without an orb in play. Tends to be outspaced in most midrange spacings. Executional Adaptability: Can get caught facing the wrong direction when using mobility frequently, requiring the player to re-orient quickly or risk making punishable inputs. The character plays in a lot of variable gamestates, and therefore requires considerable player investment and experience. Difficulty with Extended Pressure: Cannot comfortably prolong pressure without orb. High reliance on 5C to retain a stagger threat at midrange. Also has poor back-walk speed. Will need to give up his turn often.

Cost	The resources this move costs to use. GRD = GRD Blocks EXS = EXS Meter Vorpal = Vorpal GRD Break = Causes GRD Break
Attribute	Attributes of the attack. Mostly used in situations involving invul. There are two sets of attributes: Strike/Throw and Head/Foot/Dive/Projectile Every move has a Strike/Throw attribute, but doesn't always have Head/Foot/Dive/Projectile attribute. --- Strike = Strike (Anything that isn't a Throw is a Strike) Throw = Throw --- Head = Head (Most jump normals) Foot = Foot Dive = Some air specials Projectile = Projectile
Startup	Frame when the first hitbox is present. + denotes the frames before and after super flash.
Active	The amount of frames that this move will have a hitbox. (x) denotes frame gaps where there are no hitboxes is present. Due to varied blockstuns, (x) frames are difficult to use to determine punish windows. Generally the larger the numbers, the more time you have to punish.
Recovery	Frames that this move has after the active frames if not canceled.
Overall	Frames that this move takes from start to finish before the character returns to neutral.
Advantage	The difference in frames where you can act before your opponent when this move is blocked (assuming the move isn't canceled and the first active frame is blocked). If the opponent uses a move with startup equal or less than this move's advantage, it will result in opponent hitting that move. ±x~±x denotes a possible range of advantage. The left value is when the active frames hit sooner (generally worse) and the right value is for when the active frames hit later (generally better).
Invul	The frames where this move cannot be hit by an attribute. Full = Fully invincible Strike = Strike invincible Throw = Throw invincible Head = Head invincible Foot = Foot invincible Dive = Dive invincible Projectile = Projectile invincible

Short, quick cut in front of Seth.

• Fast with a great vertical hitbox giving it strong anti-air uses. Can hit-confirm with 3C against high airborne opponents to convert into combo.
• Good cancel window coupled with smart steer staggers, making it an important stagger tool.
• Short horizontal range coupled with 5F startup makes it good for rebeat pressure.
• Is a slightly better starter than 2A for combo purposes, making it the go-to for 5F punishes.

Seth slashes horizontally in front of him.

• Very small stagger window makes it impossible to frame-trap with a subsequent normal.
• Although its' hitbox and active frames got a nerf from UNIST, 5B is still one of Seth's better buttons to throw out in the midrange where 2B will not hit yet 5B would reach, as the 7F startup is still decent for its' size.
• Slightly better starter than 2B.

• Fast sweep that hits low twice. Allows you to cancel on any of the two hits.
• Important combo tool, as it is the only normal that lifts the opponent off the ground besides 3C.
• Very safe on block.
• Large amount of blockstun makes it impossible to frametrap afterwards aside from delayed special-cancelled 623B.

• Great, quick air-to-air normal that can confirm into a full combo on both standing and airborne opponents.
• Retracts Seth's hurtbox at the foot.
• Good move to whiff before landing to reduce landing recovery.
• Has a lot of use defensively, granting high reward against throw attempts while also being a part of some throw OSes themselves, such as 191A~D.
• Hits standing oppponents if done rising, apart from Linne and Mika.

Seth turns and jumps forward with an axe kick.

• Easily-reactable overhead due to Seth's jump animation but is relatively safe to throw out for calling out crouch shields.
• Can be cancelled early while still airborne into aerial movement and air specials, and cancelled upon landing into grounded specials.
• Most common combo ender that can set up orb oki by providing a hard knockdown.

Seth turns his back to the opponent and stabs over his shoulder.

• Can be used to anti air throw OS, but generally not worth using instead of 3C because it has a worse hitbox and reward than 3C while having the same startup and head invul frames.
• Less commitment than 3C due to slightly better horizontal coverage and less recovery frames.

• Seth's best vertical anti air hitbox, with great reward on hit.
• Poor horizontal hitbox coupled with high whiff recovery means this move must be used carefully.
• Launches the opponent on hit if they're grounded.
• The normal of choice for anti-air OS'ing (3C~AD) due to its' speed, vertical hitbox and head invuln.

• Quintessential fastfall. Staple movement option with versatile use in neutral, offense and combos.
• Can be cancelled on the 2nd frame after landing into either of the two followups.
• Usage is not completely free: has a fair amount of recovery frames which can make it risky and punishable. Also means fastfall 2A is not a real high-low option, however important for punishing people trying to stand-shield.

Seth teleports to the other side of his opponent and launches them with a kick.

• Kick followup, commonly abbreviated as FFK (Fastfall kick) can only be done at a certain range, which is extended with Seth's vorpal trait. If input outside this range, Seth's fastfall recovery greatly increases to 23 frames and the kick followup does not work.
• Can be blocked either direction.
• Very strong, threatening, air unblockable offensive tool making it commonplace in Seth blink pressure.
• If the opponent is in the corner, Seth will not switch sides.
• Cannot cancel into other normals, therefore needs to be special-cancelled to be safe on block.

• Although the animation is similar to 214x~A, it lacks a parry hitbox and moves Seth a shorter distance.
• Can be special cancelled after startup like 214x~A.

• Pulls the opponent in on the second strike.
• Great range for its' speed gives it a lot of midrange functionality in pressure and neutral.
• Being reasonably safe on block and special cancellable allows pressure resets on block if respected.
• Commonly used in combos to do more overall damage when the first hit is cancelled into a special, due to it's fast startup and high hitstun.

• An orb charged by force function has a separate stun property from a normal orb, allowing you one stun from a normal orb and a charged orb each in a combo.
• An orb charged by force function also does slightly more damage. Including the C versions.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Seth places an orb a short distance forward close to the ground. Orbs are quintessential to Seth's gameplan, important to all aspects of his game including neutral, pressure, okizeme and combos.

• About a second after it is placed, the orb will shoot a fast moving projectile straight towards the opponent's current location.
• The projectile only travels in a straight line and can be dodged by moving out of the line of fire after the projectile has homed and/or while it is travelling.
• The orb can be destroyed before it becomes active by hitting it and/or Seth. It can be destroyed starting on frame 45, or 10 frames after Seth is able to move from startup recovery.
• The orb must be blocked away from Seth.
  • Crossup protection will trigger on the orb if Seth is on a different side as the orb, allowing the orb to be blocked both ways.
