->Full name Juri Han, codename "Spider"; a Taekwondo prodigy from South Korea whose parents were killed by Shadaloo. Juri is a dangerous, hedonistic sociopath who likes to taunt her opponents and doesn't care about anything but satisfying her dangerous whims. She became an agent of S.I.N and the test subject for one of their most advanced pieces of technology: a cybernetic eye implant known as the Feng Shui Engine. The implant, a smaller version of Seth's Tanden Engine, takes ki energy from the surrounding nature and feeds it to the Engine's user to heighten their abilities and make them more powerful. Juri pledges loyalty to Seth in exchange for the "new toy", then enters the tournament to test her new abilities... and further her own dark agendas.\\
\\
She returns in ''V'', sporting biker gear, a skin-tight bodysuit, and an eyepatch to cover where her original Feng Shui Engine was ripped out by Bison. Having replaced the Engine with a prototype version discovered in an abandoned S.I.N laboratory, Juri is contacted by Kolin and joins the Illuminati in their plot to destroy Shadaloo and Bison. After assisting in Shadaloo's downfall, in ''6'', Juri continues to satisfy her own whims in a gloomy fugue.\\
\\
Juri, being the sadist that she is, has a fighting style built to shut down and frustrate her opponents before going in with powerful and aggressive close-quarter tools. With her "Fuhajin" projectile and "Kasatushi" counter, she can catch her opponent at unpredictable timings and angles. And with Feng Shui Engine active, her offense game drastically improves, allowing her to go for lengthier and riskier combos while active to tear apart her foe.\\
''V'' gives a significant overhaul to her kit and makes her more of a momentum based-fighter thanks to "Fuharenkyaku", a special move that stores charges for different attacks that she can string together; her projectile is folded into the light version of this attack. Her other tools from ''IV'' are all removed or repurposed to build around this system.\\
''6'' reworks several elements of her moveset to make her more flexible. The charges she gains from "Fuharenkyaku" can now be shared between all three attacks that utilize its charge, and she can perform a weaker variation of them even if she lacks a charge for them. Her "Shiku-sen" divekick and its follow-up combo from ''IV'' returns.

Seth returns in ''V'', but in a ''very'' different way. During ''IV'', it's revealed that Seth, or rather #15, is actually one of 27 spare robot bodies created for Bison in the event his current one gives out due to his Psycho Power becoming too powerful and exceeding the limits of what it can hold. To further his plans, Bison decided to give one of them complete sentience and propped it up as head of Shadaloo's

In ''V'', Seth's moveset sees a drastic rework. Due to now inhabiting a new body, he no longer has access to the original data he had collected over the years. However, this new vessel comes pre-loaded with some fighting
''V'' gives a significant overhaul
''6'' reworks several elements
Added DiffLines:
* AGodAmI: He's always been a megalomaniac with delusions of grandeur, but he often explicitly refers to himself as a "king" in ''V'' [[MadnessMantra again and again]].
-->''Within my body lies the whole of the universe. I am eternal.''\\
''Data is the tapestry of human history. Therefore, I am the world!''
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: Despite his time as a megalomaniacal, murderous CEO of a vicious crime syndicate, certain characters note Seth is the way he is because of Bison and ''pity'' him. In particular, Gouken easily sees through his bluster and Karin says she has nothing against Seth and only desires to punish Bison.
* AbusiveParents: Bison is essentially an abusive father figure to Seth, viewing him as nothing but a disposable tool. Seth appropriately acts like a child desperate to prove his worth under all his bluster. To hammer in the point, Seth ''almost'' calls Bison something along the lines of a father in ''V'' before his DeathOfPersonality sets in.
* AdaptationalBadass: While he's no slouch in the games and the anime, the UDON comics have him holding his own against ''Akuma'' of all people. He even manages to ''survive the Shun Goku Satsu'', which can kill anyone with a soul.
* AlasPoorVillain: ''Many'' characters express pity for Seth's state in ''V,'' with Cammy outright calling him a victim of Shadaloo, a sentiment echoed by Rose in ''IV.'' Despite attacking them in a demented frenzy, even Ed and Falke recognize Seth as such and declare him to not be their enemy.
-->'''Falke:''' You are no enemy of ours. Just a specter wandering aimlessly...
* AllForNothing: Gouken expresses that Seth will not find his truest desires through his evil ways and suggests he turn to good. Surely enough, his ending in his ''V'' arcade route in ''Street Fighter V'' cements this. It sees Seth killing Bison and absorbing his power, ascending to becoming a Shiva-like deity worshipped by mortals, just like how he always claimed to want. However, the narration suggests Seth's troubled mind has still yet to find any peace.
* AllYourPowersCombined: His moveset in ''IV'' consists of Guile's Sonic Boom, Chun Li's Hyakuretsukyaku, Dhalsim's Yoga Teleport and the long-armed Hard Punch, the Shoryuken, Zangief's Spinning Piledriver and a Command Dive Kick. His [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MCZ7bC6-KDU&t=4s moveset]] in ''V'' not only combines moves from other ''Street Fighter'' characters, but from characters from other fighting games as well.
* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: His ''IV'' incarnation is the [[Main/DistaffCounterpart Spear Counterpart]] to [[VideoGame/VirtuaFighter Dural,]] possessing a similar mannequin-like appearance and being a FinalBoss possessing various moves from other fighters in the roster. Seth's GenderBender act in ''V'' reinforces his resemblance to Dural even further.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: He has greyish blue skin. It also becomes dark when he's using the Tanden Engine.
* AmazonianBeauty: His second body is an extremely muscular female physique, sharing the same muscle bulk as his nostalgia costume, but with a face resembling Juri's. And like Juri he gets a some fanservicy alternate costumes to show it off, such as a swimsuit and a [[BedlahBabe Arabian inspired belly dancer outfit]].
* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: His appearance in ''V'' where [[GenderBender he inhabits a female body]] raises many questions regarding this. While he's generally still referred to with male pronouns and [[VocalDissonance retains his distinctly male voice]], [[http://www.capcom-unity.com/mattrayu/blog/2019/12/16/seth-announced-for-street-fighter-v-champion-edition-gill-and-new-gameplay-content-out-today Capcom's official word]] is that "Seth is more machine than human, [[NoBiologicalSex and was never male or female to begin with]]", though they conspicuously avoid referring to him with any pronouns whatsoever. In the story mode, Juri is told while activating Seth's new body that it has a gender, yet Falke refers to Seth with gender-neutral "they"/"them" pronouns, in English at least.[[note]]Some other translations, such as Spanish, call Seth [[ItIsDehumanizing "that thing" instead]], as Spanish has no gender-neutral pronouns. It should be noted as well that calling someone in Spanish either "it" (eso) or "that person/thing" (esta persona/cosa) ''is a very touchy thing'' in some Spanish-speaking countries, but considering Seth is more a machine than a human in this state, this is quite fitting.[[/note]]
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Seth has always been very proud of his fighting skills, but this is taken up a notch in ''V'' owing to his SanitySlippage. In gameplay, he can be seen frequently striking poses and taunting gestures at the end of his attacks if the player lets him be, even having a long-winded special taunt if [[IdleAnimation left idle.]]
* ArmsDealer: S.I.N.'s primary function before revolting against its benefactor, Shadaloo, was manufacturing and selling highly advanced weaponry on a global scale.
* ArtificialHuman: Seth is one of hundreds of clones created to serve as replacement bodies for Bison, a trait he is most ashamed of.
* ArchEnemy: Bison is this to Seth, big time, [[BigBadWannabe although Bison does not hold Seth in such high regard.]]
* AscendedMeme: "Downloaded" is a popular phrase in the fighting game community when a player has completely caught on to their opponent's habits and turns the tides. Occasionally in ''V,'' Seth will strike a triumphant pose and enthusiastically utter the phrase.
* AssKicksYou: As crazy and hilarious as it sounds, Seth indeed does this if he copies R. Mika's Flying Peach.
* AttackAttackAttack: His non-existent stamina, high damage output, and extraordinarily versatile moveset encourage players to go on the offense and never let up. This is further emphasized in ''V,'' where he has lost most of his versatile defensive options from ''IV'' to encourage aggression.
* AttractiveBentGender: Seth's new body is based on Juri so, of course, he looks very attractive.
* AxCrazy: Seth is just as murderously insane as his creator, Bison. His mental state is so chaotic that his underlings are ''scared shitless'' over the prospect of incurring his wrath, as it's heavily implied that he kills anyone who does. In ''V'', his HumiliationConga, "death", and subsequent resurrection have actually made his temperament ''worse''. Seth is completely unhinged, prone to frequent mood swings and unnerving facial expressions and constantly sounds like he's on the verge of a complete mental breakdown. Although, whether the Seth in ''V'' can truly be seen as the same one from ''IV'' is left vague.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Outside of battle, Seth is usually seen dressed in a stylish business suit. The same suit makes an appearance in ''V,'' slightly modified better for combat, as a DLC costume.
* BadBoss: He exclaims to Dan that the penalty for wasting his time is an [[ColdBloodedTorture excruciatingly painful death]], and his interactions with his subordinates have them quite nervous about bringing up bad news.
* BadassArmfold: In ''V,'' if Seth is left idle, he will perform the ''exact'' same arm fold Bison has by default, complete with the same smug smile.
* BaldOfEvil: His original body was completely hairless. His (female) one has long black hair with some of it stylized into a ring behind her head.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: Completely lacking in obvious sexual features despite being naked.
* BeatingADeadPlayer: He absorb his unconscious opponent's fighting techniques in ''V'' by holding his opponent [[FacePalmOfDoom by the face]] before dropping their lifeless body like a doll.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: In Seth's female form his facial expressions during distress such as Necalli's win pose are not as "extreme" as the ones he pulled in his male body in the previous game.
* BerserkButton: Referring to him by his model number 15, as opposed to his chosen name.
-->'''''Never''''' ''call me by my number!''
* BetaTestBaddie: He ''really'' resents the fact that he was created merely to be a disposable clone for Bison, to the point where everything he does can be rooted in his desire to overcome this status.
* BigBad: Of the ''IV'' games.
* BigBadWannabe: Despite his efforts, Seth waged a war against Bison and Shadaloo that he ultimately lost humiliatingly, taking S.I.N. to the grave with [[SanitySlippage his sanity.]]
* BlackEyesOfEvil: His eyes in ''IV'', and by extension his Nostalgia costume in ''V'', have black sclera.
* BlowYouAway: For his second Ultra Combo, the Tanden Typhoon, he bends over, bridges out, and blasts a tornado out and up from his Tanden Engine. Looks ''ridiculous''.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: Seth's standard Critical Art (unaided by his V-Trigger 1) sees him sucking his opponent into his Tanden Engine and blowing them straight into the opposite wall rather than the center screen.
* BrainTransplant: Seth's brain is moved from a masculine body to a feminine body in between ''IV'' and ''V'' by Juri as part of being revived.
* BrokenRecord: Owing to the insanity he suffers from in ''V'', the majority of his dialogue consists of just him asserting that his name is Seth and that he is a king.
* CameBackWrong: For vague reasons, Juri was instructed to revive Seth by an unknown party, but did a poor job of it. This causes Seth to beat the crap out of her, then go on a demented warpath for Bison's head, having gone off the full deep end of AxCrazy.
* CameraAbuse: His first [[https://i.imgur.com/Jo2ZTwI.jpg Ultra Combo]] in IV has him launching his opponent toward the screen, comically splattering their face over it if it wins the round. Carries over into ''V'' with his Critical Art while Seth's V-Trigger 1 is active, which has him again sucking his opponent into a black hole and launching them at the screen.
* CleavageWindow: His female swimsuit outfit in ''V'' has a very prominent cleavage window cut in the middle of his attire, [[FanService moreso than his default appearance.]]
* CloneAngst: Seth is the 15th out of 27 identical robot bodies which serve as spare vessels for Bison. A fact that he hates with insane fervor and wants to prove otherwise.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Orders Juri to capture the Dolls so he can experiment on them.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: As a FinalBoss, Seth's Ultra Combos deal more damage than they do when used by the player.
* {{Contortionist}}: With his new body in ''V'' being modeled after Juri, Seth seems to have inherited Juri's flexibility. His official character artwork has him balancing on one leg like Juri.
* CurbStompBattle: His battle with Ryu in ''The Ties That Bind'' has him kicking the everloving crap out of him until Ryu enters the State of Nothingness and returns the favor.
* DanceBattler: With his new body in ''V'' being modeled after Juri, Seth seems to have incorporated Juri's Taekwondo into his fighting style as he is far more graceful and agile, attacking opponents with a variety of elegant spins, twirls, and flips.
* DarkReprise: Seth's theme music in ''V'' is a highly twisted, erratic reprise of his theme from ''IV.''
* DeathOfPersonality: Seth's story in ''V'' and many win quotes illustrate that the Seth as we knew him from ''IV'' has ceased to be. What is alive now is simply a personality that possesses Seth's memories and calls itself Seth, but does not know what itself really is.
-->'''Gill:''' You appear to have no idea who you are.
* DeathByAThousandCuts: In the ''IV'' series, the playable Seth's attacks are very weak in flat damage output, especially compared to his boss counterpart. He makes up for this in just how long and expansive his combos are and the many hits can quickly add up in total damage.
* DefeatMeansPlayable: In the original ''IV'', Seth can be selected after he has been defeated at least once by every character. He's playable from the start since ''SSFIV''.
* DifficultButAwesome: Thanks to his AllYourPowersCombined gimmick, a Seth player has the right tool for every conceivable job, and his specials are flashy enough that you get to look good whilst doing it. The downside is that his health is very low, meaning that any mistakes will cost you greatly, and his similarly low damage output means that you can't just hope for a quick end to the match before you have a chance to make those mistakes. A poor Seth player is dead in seconds, whilst a good one surgically dismantles their foes without giving them the slightest chance to hurt him.
* DittoFighter: In ''IV'', his moveset is a smorgasbord of other fighters' moves in combination with a few unique ones of his own (albeit his own versions, and some with different input commands); he possesses Ryu and Ken's {{Shoryuken}} (which he can repeat multiple times), Guile's Sonic Boom, Chun-Li's Hyakuretsukyaku (although it appears very differently), Yosokyaku and Wall Jump, Zangief's SpinningPiledriver (although he performs it by uppercutting his opponent then teleporting up to catch them), Dhalsim's long-arm-hard-punch and Yoga Teleport, Akuma's Tenmakujinkyaku, and Abel's Focus Attack. This was revamped in ''V'', giving him a more unique moveset with a PowerCopying gimmick.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Downplayed. While Seth's gameplay doesn't resemble another character's playstyle on the roster of ''IV'', most of his moves were taken from existing characters. In his transition to ''V,'' Seth is given a complete overhaul, with his base moves now being entirely original to him and his V-Skill II allowing him to copy one of his opponent's moves.
* DontYouDarePityMe: He snarls this verbatim when using a V-Reversal in ''V.'' [[AlasPoorVillain Considering most characters only pity him now...]]
* DoppelgangerAttack: His V-Trigger powered Critical Art in ''V'' has him create a white clone of himself and together, they suck the opponent into a black hole before launching them at the screen.
* TheDragon: Before F.A.N.G. was introduced, Seth was described as Bison's right hand and the second highest known authority in Shadaloo politics (Balrog and Vega are really just mercenaries). To the point that in the event of Bison being KilledOffForReal, Seth would be seen as the nominal leader of the organization. It's only [[TheStarscream when Seth forgoes the "nominal" bit]] that Bison decides to get rid of him.
* DramaticIrony: A crazed Seth's goals in ''V'' are first and foremost to destroy Bison and Shadaloo. By the time of his revival, Bison and Shadaloo are long dead.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: He sports a very feminine body in ''V'', with Juri acting as a basis for it, but he's still referred to with male pronouns and his deep male voice remains unchanged. Though some of his new alternate costumes have him dressed very femininely.
* EmptyShell: To further cement DeathOfPersonality, this is what spiritual characters in ''V'' claim Seth has become: a ghost wandering aimlessly without purpose.
-->'''Zeku:''' Masterless puppet...a piece of driftwood floating...in an empty sea...
-->'''Dhalsim:''' I pity you. Reduced to nothing more than an empty vessel...
* EvilIsHammy: His speech about humanity in his opening prologue in ''Super Street Fighter IV.'' The hamminess is virtually overflowing. See Quotes/StreetFighter.
* EvilLaugh: Does this when teleporting. Or when he grabs his opponent. Or when he uses his Ultra Combos. Or when somebody enters his stage. Or when he gets up after losing the first round. Put simply, Seth never misses an opportunity to cut loose.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Especially his Japanese voice, though his English voice is no slouch in that regard either.
* EvilTwin: Considering they share the same origin, the same height, the same weight and the same face, Seth is one to Abel.
* EvilutionaryBiologist: A MadScientist who seeks world domination.
* FacePalmOfDoom: His Tanden Engine V-Skill has him palm his opponent's face with one hand, the other clenching their abdomen. His match outro also sees him holding his opponent up by the face before dropping them.
* FauxAffablyEvil: In ''IV'', Seth is considerably more poised and calm compared to his creator, often speaking in an intellectual and philosophical manner. Some of his winquotes have him genuinely complimenting his opponent's strength and skill. But he is certainly no less cold and ruthless. In ''V'' however, Seth has lost most, if not all, of his calm and sophisticated mannerisms for a churlish, openly insane, and [[PsychopathicManchild childish]] personality.
* FinalBoss: Of the ''IV'' games.
* ForScience: His motivation. As well as potentially ruling the world, naturally.
* FullFrontalAssault: In his default and second alternate costume.
* GambitPileup: Believes himself to be pulling the strings behind Shadaloo, when it could also work the other way around. Bison knows exactly what he's trying to do, and is using Seth to further his own as-of-now unknown goals. There's also the fact that unbeknown to him, Juri is using his tournament as a cover for her own takeover of S.I.N.
* GenderBender: He underwent this between ''IV'' and ''V'', going from a male body to a female body modeled after Juri. [[ArtificialHuman Seth is an AI]] [[NoBiologicalSex who knows no "true" gender]] (albeit one still referred to with male pronouns and [[VocalDissonance possessing a deep, masculine voice]]), but the prominent physical changes are still very obvious.
* GlassCannon:
** Seth has some of the highest damage and stun potential across the ''IV'' series, with [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill his intricate and ridiculously flashy combos stretching longer than any other character]] and almost always breaking the damage scaling. He is balanced by uniquely always having the lowest health and stun chart of any character at a pathetic [[MadeOfPlasticine 800/900 ratio.]]
** Largely carrying over to ''V,'' he initially had 925 health, with Akuma taking his place for distinctively lowest health at 900. Once again, this is to offset what [[https://imgur.com/a/8Sfb7KF he is potentially capable of.]] He was later nerfed to have 900 HP like Akuma.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: His blue eyes glow at times.
* HeartDrive: In ''V'', it's revealed that Seth, or rather the consciousness that calls itself Seth, is an ArtificialIntelligence within a mechanical "biological brain" that [[GrewBeyondTheirProgramming gained sentience]]. Despite the original body being destroyed, Juri managed to recover this brain from an abandoned S.I.N laboratory and placed it inside a new vessel: another machine model designed by Shadaloo called Doll Unit Zero.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: Of the non-lethal variety. He sent his goons to beat down Fei Long's movie crew not because they're making a movie about S.I.N., but because it's implied the movie hit a little ''too'' close to the truth on S.I.N. trade secrets.
* HiddenDepths: Underneath his ego and megalomania is an AI construct who simply [[IJustWantToBeSpecial wants to be recognized as his own unique existence and not just a robot created by Bison to be a spare vessel]]. Gouken puts it thusly:
-->'''Gouken:''' You seek individuality and identity, but you will not find it this way.
* HomeStage: He's the only character in ''IV'' to have a traditional home stage with the "Secret Laboratory", where he's fought.
* HomingProjectile: His Tanden Maneuver V-Trigger II has him fire off a projectile that he can guide to hit opponents.
* HumiliationConga: Bordering on MindRape. Seth's plans fall to ruin and Bison and Juri both humiliate him in every way physically and psychologically before leaving him for dead. It's clear that the events that transpired in ''IV'' have taken [[AxCrazy a significant toll]] on Seth's state of mind following his resurrection.
* {{Hypocrite}}: For all his rants about how different he is from Bison, his actions in the story show that he’s every bit as [[JerkAss churlish]], [[AxCrazy unhinged]], and [[TheSociopath psychopathic]] as Bison is.
** His win-quote to Akuma, where he [[VillainHasAPoint rightfully points out]] that embracing a power you can't control is stupid and dangerous. This is undermined by the fact that Seth sought out the Satsui no Hado ''in the first place'' for use in the [[DoomsdayDevice BLECE Project]].
--->''Bah! What kind of fool willingly embraces a power he cannot even control?!''
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: While he's reasonably dignified and threatening in ''IV'', he falls into this status hard in ''V''. Having [[SanitySlippage utterly lost his mind]] as a result from death, self-loathing, and a furious vendetta against Bison, he's become too consumed by blind rage to even realize that Bison is already dead, with his futile scrambles for revenge against him being played for tragedy. Even his opponents see him as [[VillainousBreakdown spiralling so violently]] that [[NotWorthKilling he isn't worth treating as a threat.]]
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Seth's arrogance and bluster is merely a facade and a coping mechanism to hide the fact that he is fully aware he is nothing but another of Bison's backup bodies. His driving motivation is to prove to himself and others that he is a unique being. This complex reaches its absolute ''peak'' in ''V.'' In Seth's intro, his new body will broadcast itself as Doll Unit #0, only for him to nervously butt in saying his name is Seth, and he constantly asserts that he is a "king" or someone of importance. The most notable example is when Seth wins a round on low health, he undergoes a VillainousBreakdown, ''almost sounding like he is on the verge of tears,'' demanding his opponent not call him "defective."
* InternalHomage: His moveset in ''V'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCZ7bC6-KDU makes references]] to other ''Street Fighter'' series characters that didn't make the cut as well as some of Capcom's older, non-''SF''-related fighting games, such as ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' and ''VideoGame/JojosBizarreAdventureHeritageForTheFuture''.
* IronicHell: Even if he is not aware anymore to recognize it, his state in ''V'' is all over the place with this.
** Firstly, he inhabits a new body. This completely undermines the old Seth's belief of his body being pure perfection. Furthermore, the body is based on Juri, who Seth hated almost as much as Bison and died swearing revenge on. The body with a pre-existing codename also constantly refers to itself as "Doll Unit Zero", as if to undermine Seth's own identity and press his BerserkButton of being called a "doll."
** Seth desired to be an all-powerful being acknowledged by all as nothing short of ultimate greatness. Most characters in ''V'' either ''pity'' his miserable state or express serious concern for his mental health. Falke and Ed don't even bother fighting Seth after deducing his state and calmly walk away from him.
** In the conclusion of his story in ''V,'' Seth is trapped in a demented state chasing after killing Bison, who is already dead and thus depriving him of any purpose in life.
* {{Irony}}: For all his desire to be recognized as a unique being, Seth is essentially Bison in all but name. He's the leader of an evil crime organization (S.I.N is merely an offshoot of Shadaloo, serving as its weapons division), he seeks Ryu to complete his evil scheme (much like Bison wishes to possess Ryu's body), and he isn't above manipulating, intimidating, and blackmailing others into helping him. Also, in ''IV'', it is made very clear that despite his sentience, Seth is a cold ArtificialIntelligence that has no soul, beliefs, or feelings beyond what Bison intended for him. In ''V'', he ends up gaining a soul when his personality and mind are transferred over to a new body (again serving as symbolic of how he is "just another bison"), but he ends up going insane because he cannot process the overwhelming flow of emotions. And with the death of his very creator, he has nothing left to cling to or strive for but his ingrained ambitions.
* ItsPersonal: Taken to AxCrazy and pitiful extremes with Bison after he is resurrected in ''V.'' Seth's sole purpose for being now is to chase after killing Bison, who is already long dead.
* JackOfAllTrades: In ''IV'', where his mix of techniques from other fighters make him a versatile fighter who can fight in different ranges. His arm-stretching attack and his Sonic Boom are good in long and middle ranged combat, his SpinningPiledriver works effectively in zero range, his {{Shoryuken}} is a classic anti-air move, and his Yoga Teleport and Tanden Engine can close the distance to the opponent if needed.
* {{Jerkass}}: He was never nice, but Seth in ''IV'' is a calm, polite, and sophisticated villain. By ''V,'' Seth drops all of this, constantly bragging about himself and insulting his foes in incredibly petty ways.
* KaleidoscopeEyes: Red or blue or black eyes depending on the occasion. His female body in ''V'' adds gold eyes to the mix while his nostalgia costume has green eyes.
* KickChick: His incarnation in ''V'' notably features a lot more kicks than before, which one can assume is due to his body being based off Juri, who herself is also a prominent example.
* KickTheDog:
** Ordering Juri to capture the dolls so he could experiment on them until they die.
** Attacking Fei Long's crew to keep them from making a film about S.I.N.
* LargeHam: Seth barely keeps a stoic and professional demeanor on S.I.N. business, but all bets are absolutely off when he's fighting or off duty. Perhaps the hammiest and most expressive villain in the franchise, Seth makes it a hobby to chew the scenery and spout grandiose philosophical speeches whenever he can.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Seth suffers from this in ''V'', although fragmented pieces of his old memories linger. As a result of this, despite previously establishing complex relations with much of the returning cast, he has nothing unique or interesting to say about most of them.
* LastSecondChance: Rose and Gouken suggest Seth could make a HeelFaceTurn and that it isn't too late for him. Unfortunately, this would ''not'' come to pass.
* LaughingMad: Seth's revival in ''V'' has clearly not done his sanity any favors, as his signature maniacal laughter has progressed into full-on demented cackling.
* LossOfIdentity: Seth's story mode in ''V'' revolves around this. The results are...not pleasant.
* MadeOfIron: His boss incarnation in ''IV'' takes less damage than his playable self. Also, his fight with Ryu in ''The Ties That Bind'' has him shrugging off all of Ryu's attacks until Ryu enters the State of Nothingness.
* MadeOfPlasticine: He takes the most damage out of all the characters when used by a regular player, comparable to Shin Akuma and Ultimate [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Rugal]] in ''[[VideoGame/CapcomVsSNK2MarkOfTheMillennium Capcom vs. SNK 2]]''.
* MadnessMantra: Chillingly, Seth doesn't see Falke or Ed as individual people but hallucinates Bison in their place. He repeats the exact same monotonous droning against Bison on loop vs them non-stop, even sharing the same win quote against them.
-->''I am your tool no longer, Bison!''
* ManOnFire: One of Seth's DLC costumes in ''IV'' that also carried over to his nostalgia costume in ''V'' as an input easter egg sees him literally on fire!
* MegatonPunch: If Seth uses his V-Trigger 1 [[MirrorMatch on himself,]] he will gain an entirely new move called "Brutal Impact" where he bulks up into Abigail's frame and launches one of these.
* MindRape: The end result of what happens to him in ''V''. His humiliating defeat in ''IV'', realizing the AwfulTruth of what happened to him and his status as of ''V'', as well as the effects of Bison's horrible abuse towards him have rendered every second of Seth's new life nothing short of torture. This leaves him a sad, broken shell of a being chasing a dead man while raving and screaming out of desperation to assure himself that he is not JustAMachine and that he is someone powerful and of importance.
* MoodSwinger: In ''V,'' Seth's mood is all over the place, going from arrogant and child-like to ''furious'' or incredibly insecure and miserable at the drop of a hat.
* MotiveRant: He loves giving these out, such as the one he gives Ryu while beating the stuffing out of him. See Quotes/StreetFighter for detail.
* MusclesAreMeaningful: For an android, Seth is jacked with muscles. His female body in ''V'' has a muscular, toned physique.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: After Seth Killian, former Community Manager at Capcom and ex-tournament player. This led to jokes after Peter "Combofiend" Rosas took over the position, and Seth (the character) was subsequently nerfed in ''Ultra''.
* {{Narcissist}}: Stemming from his raging InferioritySuperiorityComplex, Seth always likes to assure himself that he's the greatest being to ever grace the universe, and his Tanden Engine the greatest power unmatched by anything. Ironically, this only serves to make him all that much more similar to Bison.
* NightmareFace: His winpose in ''V'' takes a cue straight out of Vega's book, with Seth brandishing a SlasherSmile coupled with WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises. His Nostalgia costume is especially noteworthy as it adds BlackEyesOfCrazy to the mix, with his HellishPupils disappearing completely and leaving his eyes as just empty black voids with small colored dots in them.
* NoBiologicalSex: Seth, being an AI construct inside a spare body for M. Bison, isn't human and technically isn't either male or female, though he is referred to with male pronouns. Even after gaining a new feminine body in ''V'', he's still referred to as male, but Capcom points out that he was never strictly male or female to begin with.
* NotQuiteDead: Despite being brutalized by Bison and Juri, he was not quite out for the count.
* NotWorthKilling: After Seth assaults a bewildered Ed and Falke, Falke deduces just how pitiful he actually is and simply leaves with Ed without much of a fight.
* OmnicidalManiac: Has designs of this. One of his win quotes claims that, when he has taken over the world, he will be the ''last sentient being on earth.'' He echoes this in his revised ''IV'' arcade opening, claiming he will kill all humans and be free of common morality. In ''V'', he is even described as a king of chaos.
* ObviouslyEvil: Just look at him.
* PartsUnknown: Like previous {{Final Boss}}es Bison and Gill, and ''unlike'' almost all of the other World Warriors, his country of origin is never specified.
* PerfectPlayAI: Beating him in the first round is relatively easy. Shit then gets real in the second round.
* PowerArmor: One of his alternate costumes, quite reminiscent of a SteamPunk-ish suit of armor.
* PowerCopying: Seth can copy the special attacks of other fighters. ''V'' even turns this into his V-Skill I, which gives him the ability to copy one of his opponent's attacks during battle.
* PowerOfTheVoid: Seth's Tanden Engine allows him to create vortexes to draw his opponent in. His Tanden Stream has Seth firing a blast of nothingness at his opponent before vacuuming them into the Tanden Engine, and his Sonic Boom projectiles are colorless in comparison to Guile's, reflecting his empty, soulless nature. His Critical Art in ''V'' has him and a white doppelganger create a vortex to draw his opponent in before launching them at the screen.
* PsychopathicManchild: Despite all his suave, arrogant, and philosophical posturing, ''V'' fully reveals that this is what Seth ''really'' is deep down: An insecure child that is desperate to prove himself to his father (Bison) that he is better than him. This reaches its logical conclusion in Seth's story in ''V'', which is essentially him throwing a massive, deranged temper tantrum over all his pent up insecurities.
* PrecisionFStrike: Owed to his sophisticated front, Seth ''never'' swears even when facing death and humiliation in many scenarios in ''IV.'' In ''V'', he gets precisely one dig at this, calling Ed a "bastard" when hallucinating him as Bison.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: His Hecatoncheris special in ''V'' has him assail his opponent with a rapid barrage of punches. He can also use his Tanden Engine V-Skill to copy Abigail's Abigail Punch.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: His character selection art has glowing red eyes. This also happens in his arcade ending in the vanilla ''IV''.
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: An accidental one, but "Seth" is also the name of Adam and Eve's third son. Due to his connection to Abel, Seth was originally intended to be named "Cain", but he was named for Seth Killian instead.
* RubberMan: He can stretch his arms like Dhalsim. As of ''V'', he loses this ability, though he can still temporary shift his proportions when needed.
* SameCharacterButDifferent: He might be back in ''V'', but his resurrections has left him violently unhinged and not at all resembling his former self.
* SanityHasAdvantages: In ''V'', [[AxCrazy he's become so unhinged]] that he hallucinates any presence of Psycho Power as Bison himself, and his violent scramble of attempting to "defeat" him is enough of a window for [[VillainExitStageLeft his actual opponents to simply leave.]]
* SanitySlippage: In ''V'', it's painfully clear that his "death" and subsequent resurrection has caused Seth's sanity to take a nosedive, not helped by the fact that his new body is based off Juri, [[TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody causing Seth to take on many of her unhinged mannerisms.]] It's clear from his dialogue that he is desperate to assert himself as his own being, going from boasting about how his "new version" is perfect one second, to thinking the opponent is somehow mocking him upon their defeat and then angrily screaming at them to not call him "defective".
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: When some insane S.I.N. thugs go rogue, Seth's organization can pull strings to make sure the police are not involved with putting them down.
* {{Shoryuken}}: From Ryu or Ken or both. He can use it three times in a row. As of ''V'', he trades the traditional Shoryuken for Demitri's Demon Cradle now called Mad Cradle, although he can still use the Shoryuken by copying from Ken.
* {{Shotoclone}}: A minor example, but Seth does have a projectile attack (Sonic Boom) and a literal {{Shoryuken}}. The Hyakuretsukyaku compensates for the lack of a [[HurricaneKick Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku]].
* ShowerScene: In the opening scene of his arcade mode in ''IV''. It would count as {{Fanservice}}...[[FanDisservice if it wasn't for the Tanden Engine in his gut.]]
* SlasherSmile: [[https://imgur.com/a/Lb4AkAM He makes a horrifyingly unhinged one of these in his V outro.]]
* SlouchOfVillainy: Seth does this often on a nice chair when off duty, notably in his original ending in ''IV.'' The [[https://imgur.com/a/f8bgScb same shot]] is re-used in his ''IV'' arcade route ending in ''V''.
* SNKBoss: One of the most notorious in the series. The CPU version of Seth fought at the end of the Arcade Mode in ''IV'' has increased health and stun, and some of the most brutal and unforgiving AI in the series' history. Even if you have the difficulty set to the lowest possible setting, Seth is always programmed to read your inputs and cheat whenever he can. Starting from ''Super IV'', he keeps his 0-frame recovery Yoga Teleport that he lost from the original version, and from ''Arcade Edition'' onward keeps his old aerial Heavy Punch (Dhalsim's signature "Yoga Sniper"). And his AI only gets worse whenever you win a round, as he gets up and says "ILetYouWin" and a more menacing version of his theme starts playing.
* TheSociopath: Like his creator, Bison, Seth has no empathy or remorse, manipulates others with ease, and is driven by staggering arrogance and ego. As of ''V,'' it's revealed Seth leans much more toward being a psychopath than an unfeeling sociopath, being plagued with severe emotional issues that manifests in violent and evil ways.
* TheSoulless: Being an ArtificialHuman created by Shadaloo, Seth has no true soul, a trait commented on by several characters. Ironically, this ends up saving his life in the UDON comics during his fight with Akuma. Akuma notes that since Seth has no soul, his lethal Shun Goku Satsu has no effect on him. This causes Akuma to deem Seth not worth his time. This is retconned by ''V,'' where a divine being like Necalli recognizes Seth as having a soul, unlike Kage.
* SpinningPiledriver: From Zangief, no less. As of ''V'', he needs to copy Zangief in-match to use it again.
* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: In ''V'', [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EAEzw2SuqDM As shown in this video]], Seth's V-Skill I not only lets him copy one of opponent's moves, but also lets him copy any weapon his opponent wields such as Falke's staff or Menat's crystal ball.
* TheStarscream: Seth's goal in life besides world domination is to overthrow Bison and take over Shadaloo.
* StrawNihilist: Ironically, despite his philosophical nature, Seth doesn't believe in anything mystical, which frequently shows up in his win quotes against Dhalsim.
-->''Your illusions don't fool me.''\\
''If your moves were truly born of the divine, I would not be able to use them.''\\
''(Vs. T. Hawk) Destiny...Gods...Spirits...All are the product of delusional minds!''\\
''[[AboveGoodAndEvil Evil?]] [[IfJesusThenAliens Like the concept of gods,]] [[StrawAtheist this is a meaningless human construct.]]''
* SuperToughness: Shown in ''Anime/StreetFighterIVTheTiesThatBind'' in his fight with Ryu, which is a CurbStompBattle in Seth's favor until Ryu enters the State of Nothingness.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: His design and fighting style combine some elements from Urien and Twelve from the ''III'' series.
** Design-wise, he and Urien are both muscular men with no clothing. Seth also shares Urien's [[ChromeChampion color-changing skin]], going from bright silver skin to dark purple when he uses certain moves, or is defeated. Also, the two have similar motives: Urien wants to overthrow his brother Gill and be the leader of the Illuminati. Seth wishes to overthrow his creator Bison and be recognized as his own person rather than another of Bison's backup bodies. And on top of that, he has access to Urien's Chariot Tackle as a Focus Attack, though he has it as a proper attack in OMEGA Mode.
** Similarly to Twelve, both are naked synthetic humanoid beings with unnatural skin colors, and the both of them have the ability to [[DittoFighter copy the moves of other fighters]], although the way they do this differs. Seth takes moves from others, while Twelve can outright transform into other fighters. Additionally, before he was named Seth, he was just #15, so both of them were [[YouAreNumberSix named after numbers]] as well.
** The concept of a Shadaloo-created being that collects battle data on fighters was already used in ''Anime/StreetFighterIITheAnimatedMovie'', with the Monitor Cyborg. The difference, however, is that the Monitor Cyborgs simply collected the data and didn't fight, unlike Seth, though the Japan exclusive tie-in game had one of these cyborgs as the sole playable character and a ShotoClone.
** He also calls to mind the [[VideoGame/StreetFighterEX Cycloids]]. They were similarly humanoid but without all the features and also had a mix of attacks from other fighters. Seth has more of a personality than they do, however.
* TeleportSpam: He knows Dhalsim's Yoga Teleport. The SNKBoss version really loves doing this. This can be quite annoying, when he fires a Sonic Boom at you and then teleports right behind you, so you block it as a cross-up. His Tanden Ignition V-Trigger I in ''V'' lets him cancel his moves into teleports.
* TemporaryBulkChange: In ''V'', some copied attacks cause Seth's body to mimic the fighter it comes from, such as becoming larger and more muscular like Abigail when using Abigail Punch.
* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: Seth's story reveals that his insanity is so severe that he can no longer distinguish the difference between Bison himself and his Psycho Power. When he tries to track down Bison, he encounters Ed and Falke instead, but rather than seeing the two of them, all he sees is the same twisted hallucination of Bison that they both saw in their nightmares.
* TragicVillain: It's made very clear in ''V'' that even though he is evil and he relishes in it, it's all because Seth doesn't know any better. He was created and programmed that way by Bison: as a heartless, soulless machine meant to be nothing more than a substitute and a pawn for the dictator.
* TronLines: His feminine body in ''V'' features numerous, brightly-lit seams across the skin that light up when he uses certain attacks, most notably his copied techniques.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: When Bison "died", he saw this as his chance to usurp him as ruler of the world.
* TurnsRed: The first round against him may be easy for some. Then crap gets real.
* UncertainDoom: The ending of Seth's story in ''V'' is left fairly ambiguous as to whether or not he, or rather his consciousness, dies. He is left stuck in a delirium trying to kill a twisted image of Bison that isn't actually there, and the Doll Unit Zero body notes that a serious error has occurred and that the personality module needs to be reset, meaning that he could either be stuck in an infinite loop of dementia or that his new body has just suffered a catastrophic system crash, thus causing both his consciousness and his body to cease functioning and effectively killing him.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Despite how odd his face looks, Vega's opening in ''SSFIV'' shows he drives around in public. Of course, given he is essentially a crime lord and constantly surrounded by bodyguards, no one is going to speak up about it. Also, in ''V,'' despite inhabiting a new female body, very few characters already familiar with him take mind of this. Instead, most characters commentate on Seth's mental health.
* UnwittingPawn
** To Bison. Everything he is and has is all because of Bison's machinations. He was created solely to be either a backup body or a figurehead leader to take his place until such a time when he is able to be revived, whichever comes first or is more appropriate at the time. S.I.N itself is nothing more than a branch of Shadaloo without any official connection to it so as to keep their profile low. Vega tells this to Seth as his initial plans are foiled and he has to be rescued by the other Shadaloo Kings in ''The Ties That Bind''. Then at the end of ''IV'', he is finished off by Bison and told to his face that [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech he will never amount to anything except being a tool to him]]. In addition, Seth's own creation, Juri, ends up betraying him when his plans go belly-up.
** As ''6'' reveals, Seth is also this to the de facto new leader of Shadaloo, JP, for he was behind Seth's resurrection in the first place.
* VillainousBreakdown: Undergoes this ''big time'' in ''V''. Not only is he having an existential crisis due to being in a new body and his story taking place after his creator Bison dies, leaving him with no ambition and no one to surpass, but his dialogue is incredibly unhinged and prone to drastic mood swings. Sure enough, by the end of his story Seth has completely lost his grip on reality and is left cackling like a maniac and violently flailing around trying to kill a hallucination of Bison, trapping himself in an infinite loop of egomania that causes his new body to suffer a complete system crash.
* VocalDissonance: In ''V'', he has a new, female body that resembles Juri, but he still has the same deep voice he's always had.
* VocalEvolution: Both Creator/MichaelMcConnohie and Creator/AkioOtsuka have markedly changed the tone of Seth's voice from his debut to reflect on his newfound twisted personality. In particular, the cold confidence he once had in ''IV'' is gone. Instead, Seth now sounds a lot more arrogant and emotionally unhinged, coming across as more vulnerable and insecure. Which he is.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Usually FullFrontalAssault, but he also wears pants in his first alternate costume.
* WallJump: Probably from Chun-Li, since he has one of her special moves and another one of her unique moves.
* WarriorTherapist: An evil version. In the climax of the ''Ties That Bind,'' he steps out to personally fight a conflicted Ryu and tempt him to give in to the Satsui no Hado. Through the fight, Ryu does clear his mind of doubt but finds his own path through the power of nothingness over the Satsui.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: His goal, aside from world domination, is to prove to himself and others that he is not just another of Bison's puppets.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: He was born into a world of evil, with Bison being the closest thing he has to a father and is seen, at best, as a temporary substitute leader. All he wants, in the end, is to be recognized as an individual, not just an empty body double for Bison. Though he's certainly playing the role of the villain with his obsession with power, and goal of world domination, given who is "father" is, and how power is the only thing he cares about, it seems to be the only thing Seth has ever considered to have any value. That, and being recognized for the individual he is. In many ways, he's like a child doing what he's learned from his father. ''V'' runs with this trope to its logical conclusion.
* YinYangBomb: The Tanden Engine allows Seth to utilize light and dark ki.
* YouFool: When he throws his opponent backward in ''V,'' he seethingly snarls.
--> '''YOU IDIOT!'''
* YouAreNumberSix: Among the SuperSoldiers engineered by BLECE, Seth is #15, but calling him that presses his BerserkButton.
--> '''''[[SuddenlyShouting NEVER CALL ME BY MY NUMBER!]]''''' ''My name is '''Seth''', and I am '''unique'''. I am not a toy that can only blindly obey Bison's orders! Defy me, and perish! That includes you as well as Bison!''
* YouWillBeAssimilated: What he says to his opponents, although played with in that he doesn't physically absorb their bodies; he merely absorbs their [[DittoFighter fighting styles]].
* YourSizeMayVary: Despite towering over most characters in his original body at a height of (198 cm), his nostalgia costume in ''V'' has him at the same height as his female body based on Juri, making him seem ''noticeably'' tinier than before. This is enforced for gameplay balancing, as no one would want to use a costume that increases a character's proportions.[[note]]and as explained on a Capcom Unity stream, such a costume would be outright banned in any competitive setting.[[/note]] The boss Seth faced in the ''IV'' arcade route [[https://i.imgur.com/haoviuq.png notably sees Seth in his nostalgia costume and scaled up to his original height.]] However, when he is knocked down or stunned, he will suddenly shift back to his playable version's height.

->Full name Juri Han, codename "Spider"; a Taekwondo prodigy from South Korea whose parents were killed by Shadaloo. Juri is a dangerous, hedonistic sociopath who likes to taunt her opponents and doesn't care about anything but satisfying her dangerous whims. She became an agent of S.I.N and the test subject for one of their most advanced pieces of technology: a cybernetic eye implant known as the Feng Shui Engine. The implant, a smaller version of Seth's Tanden Engine, takes ki energy from the surrounding nature and feeds it to the Engine's user to heighten their abilities and make them more powerful. Juri pledges loyalty to Seth in exchange for the "new toy", then enters the tournament to test her new abilities... and further her own dark agendas.\\
\\
She returns in ''V'', sporting biker gear, a skin-tight bodysuit, and an eyepatch to cover where her original Feng Shui Engine was ripped out by Bison. Having replaced the Engine with a prototype version discovered in an abandoned S.I.N laboratory, Juri is contacted by Kolin and joins the Illuminati in their plot to destroy Shadaloo and Bison. After assisting in Shadaloo's downfall, in ''6'', Juri continues to satisfy her own whims in a gloomy fugue.\\
\\
Juri, being the sadist that she is, has a fighting style built to shut down and frustrate her opponents before going in with powerful and aggressive close-quarter tools. With her "Fuhajin" projectile and "Kasatushi" counter, she can catch her opponent at unpredictable timings and angles. And with Feng Shui Engine active, her offense game drastically improves, allowing her to go for lengthier and riskier combos while active to tear apart her foe.\\
''V'' gives a significant overhaul to her kit and makes her more of a momentum based-fighter thanks to "Fuharenkyaku", a special move that stores charges for different attacks that she can string together; her projectile is folded into the light version of this attack. Her other tools from ''IV'' are all removed or repurposed to build around this system.\\
''6'' reworks several elements of her moveset to make her more flexible. The charges she gains from "Fuharenkyaku" can now be shared between all three attacks that utilize its charge, and she can perform a weaker variation of them even if she lacks a charge for them. Her "Shiku-sen" divekick and its follow-up combo from ''IV'' returns.
----
-->''Within my body lies the whole of the universe. I am eternal.''\\
''Data is the tapestry of human history. Therefore, I am the world!''
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: Despite his time as a megalomaniacal, murderous CEO of a vicious crime syndicate, certain characters note Seth is the way he is because of Bison and ''pity'' him. In particular, Gouken easily sees through his bluster and Karin says she has nothing against Seth and only desires to punish Bison.
* AbusiveParents: Bison is essentially an abusive father figure to Seth, viewing him as nothing but a disposable tool. Seth appropriately acts like a child desperate to prove his worth under all his bluster. To hammer in the point, Seth ''almost'' calls Bison something along the lines of a father in ''V'' before his DeathOfPersonality sets in.
* AdaptationalBadass: While he's no slouch in the games and the anime, the UDON comics have him holding his own against ''Akuma'' of all people. He even manages to ''survive the Shun Goku Satsu'', which can kill anyone with a soul.
* AlasPoorVillain: ''Many'' characters express pity for Seth's state in ''V,'' with Cammy outright calling him a victim of Shadaloo, a sentiment echoed by Rose in ''IV.'' Despite attacking them in a demented frenzy, even Ed and Falke recognize Seth as such and declare him to not be their enemy.
-->'''Falke:''' You are no enemy of ours. Just a specter wandering aimlessly...
* AllForNothing: Gouken expresses that Seth will not find his truest desires through his evil ways and suggests he turn to good. Surely enough, his ending in his ''V'' arcade route in ''Street Fighter V'' cements this. It sees Seth killing Bison and absorbing his power, ascending to becoming a Shiva-like deity worshipped by mortals, just like how he always claimed to want. However, the narration suggests Seth's troubled mind has still yet to find any peace.
* AllYourPowersCombined: His moveset in ''IV'' consists of Guile's Sonic Boom, Chun Li's Hyakuretsukyaku, Dhalsim's Yoga Teleport and the long-armed Hard Punch, the Shoryuken, Zangief's Spinning Piledriver and a Command Dive Kick. His [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MCZ7bC6-KDU&t=4s moveset]] in ''V'' not only combines moves from other ''Street Fighter'' characters, but from characters from other fighting games as well.
* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: His ''IV'' incarnation is the [[Main/DistaffCounterpart Spear Counterpart]] to [[VideoGame/VirtuaFighter Dural,]] possessing a similar mannequin-like appearance and being a FinalBoss possessing various moves from other fighters in the roster. Seth's GenderBender act in ''V'' reinforces his resemblance to Dural even further.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: He has greyish blue skin. It also becomes dark when he's using the Tanden Engine.
* AmazonianBeauty: His second body is an extremely muscular female physique, sharing the same muscle bulk as his nostalgia costume, but with a face resembling Juri's. And like Juri he gets a some fanservicy alternate costumes to show it off, such as a swimsuit and a [[BedlahBabe Arabian inspired belly dancer outfit]].
* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: His appearance in ''V'' where [[GenderBender he inhabits a female body]] raises many questions regarding this. While he's generally still referred to with male pronouns and [[VocalDissonance retains his distinctly male voice]], [[http://www.capcom-unity.com/mattrayu/blog/2019/12/16/seth-announced-for-street-fighter-v-champion-edition-gill-and-new-gameplay-content-out-today Capcom's official word]] is that "Seth is more machine than human, [[NoBiologicalSex and was never male or female to begin with]]", though they conspicuously avoid referring to him with any pronouns whatsoever. In the story mode, Juri is told while activating Seth's new body that it has a gender, yet Falke refers to Seth with gender-neutral "they"/"them" pronouns, in English at least.[[note]]Some other translations, such as Spanish, call Seth [[ItIsDehumanizing "that thing" instead]], as Spanish has no gender-neutral pronouns. It should be noted as well that calling someone in Spanish either "it" (eso) or "that person/thing" (esta persona/cosa) ''is a very touchy thing'' in some Spanish-speaking countries, but considering Seth is more a machine than a human in this state, this is quite fitting.[[/note]]
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Seth has always been very proud of his fighting skills, but this is taken up a notch in ''V'' owing to his SanitySlippage. In gameplay, he can be seen frequently striking poses and taunting gestures at the end of his attacks if the player lets him be, even having a long-winded special taunt if [[IdleAnimation left idle.]]
* ArmsDealer: S.I.N.'s primary function before revolting against its benefactor, Shadaloo, was manufacturing and selling highly advanced weaponry on a global scale.
* ArtificialHuman: Seth is one of hundreds of clones created to serve as replacement bodies for Bison, a trait he is most ashamed of.
* ArchEnemy: Bison is this to Seth, big time, [[BigBadWannabe although Bison does not hold Seth in such high regard.]]
* AscendedMeme: "Downloaded" is a popular phrase in the fighting game community when a player has completely caught on to their opponent's habits and turns the tides. Occasionally in ''V,'' Seth will strike a triumphant pose and enthusiastically utter the phrase.
* AssKicksYou: As crazy and hilarious as it sounds, Seth indeed does this if he copies R. Mika's Flying Peach.
* AttackAttackAttack: His non-existent stamina, high damage output, and extraordinarily versatile moveset encourage players to go on the offense and never let up. This is further emphasized in ''V,'' where he has lost most of his versatile defensive options from ''IV'' to encourage aggression.
* AttractiveBentGender: Seth's new body is based on Juri so, of course, he looks very attractive.
* AxCrazy: Seth is just as murderously insane as his creator, Bison. His mental state is so chaotic that his underlings are ''scared shitless'' over the prospect of incurring his wrath, as it's heavily implied that he kills anyone who does. In ''V'', his HumiliationConga, "death", and subsequent resurrection have actually made his temperament ''worse''. Seth is completely unhinged, prone to frequent mood swings and unnerving facial expressions and constantly sounds like he's on the verge of a complete mental breakdown. Although, whether the Seth in ''V'' can truly be seen as the same one from ''IV'' is left vague.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Outside of battle, Seth is usually seen dressed in a stylish business suit. The same suit makes an appearance in ''V,'' slightly modified better for combat, as a DLC costume.
* BadBoss: He exclaims to Dan that the penalty for wasting his time is an [[ColdBloodedTorture excruciatingly painful death]], and his interactions with his subordinates have them quite nervous about bringing up bad news.
* BadassArmfold: In ''V,'' if Seth is left idle, he will perform the ''exact'' same arm fold Bison has by default, complete with the same smug smile.
* BaldOfEvil: His original body was completely hairless. His (female) one has long black hair with some of it stylized into a ring behind her head.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: Completely lacking in obvious sexual features despite being naked.
* BeatingADeadPlayer: He absorb his unconscious opponent's fighting techniques in ''V'' by holding his opponent [[FacePalmOfDoom by the face]] before dropping their lifeless body like a doll.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: In Seth's female form his facial expressions during distress such as Necalli's win pose are not as "extreme" as the ones he pulled in his male body in the previous game.
* BerserkButton: Referring to him by his model number 15, as opposed to his chosen name.
-->'''''Never''''' ''call me by my number!''
* BetaTestBaddie: He ''really'' resents the fact that he was created merely to be a disposable clone for Bison, to the point where everything he does can be rooted in his desire to overcome this status.
* BigBad: Of the ''IV'' games.
* BigBadWannabe: Despite his efforts, Seth waged a war against Bison and Shadaloo that he ultimately lost humiliatingly, taking S.I.N. to the grave with [[SanitySlippage his sanity.]]
* BlackEyesOfEvil: His eyes in ''IV'', and by extension his Nostalgia costume in ''V'', have black sclera.
* BlowYouAway: For his second Ultra Combo, the Tanden Typhoon, he bends over, bridges out, and blasts a tornado out and up from his Tanden Engine. Looks ''ridiculous''.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: Seth's standard Critical Art (unaided by his V-Trigger 1) sees him sucking his opponent into his Tanden Engine and blowing them straight into the opposite wall rather than the center screen.
* BrainTransplant: Seth's brain is moved from a masculine body to a feminine body in between ''IV'' and ''V'' by Juri as part of being revived.
* BrokenRecord: Owing to the insanity he suffers from in ''V'', the majority of his dialogue consists of just him asserting that his name is Seth and that he is a king.
* CameBackWrong: For vague reasons, Juri was instructed to revive Seth by an unknown party, but did a poor job of it. This causes Seth to beat the crap out of her, then go on a demented warpath for Bison's head, having gone off the full deep end of AxCrazy.
* CameraAbuse: His first [[https://i.imgur.com/Jo2ZTwI.jpg Ultra Combo]] in IV has him launching his opponent toward the screen, comically splattering their face over it if it wins the round. Carries over into ''V'' with his Critical Art while Seth's V-Trigger 1 is active, which has him again sucking his opponent into a black hole and launching them at the screen.
* CleavageWindow: His female swimsuit outfit in ''V'' has a very prominent cleavage window cut in the middle of his attire, [[FanService moreso than his default appearance.]]
* CloneAngst: Seth is the 15th out of 27 identical robot bodies which serve as spare vessels for Bison. A fact that he hates with insane fervor and wants to prove otherwise.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Orders Juri to capture the Dolls so he can experiment on them.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: As a FinalBoss, Seth's Ultra Combos deal more damage than they do when used by the player.
* {{Contortionist}}: With his new body in ''V'' being modeled after Juri, Seth seems to have inherited Juri's flexibility. His official character artwork has him balancing on one leg like Juri.
* CurbStompBattle: His battle with Ryu in ''The Ties That Bind'' has him kicking the everloving crap out of him until Ryu enters the State of Nothingness and returns the favor.
* DanceBattler: With his new body in ''V'' being modeled after Juri, Seth seems to have incorporated Juri's Taekwondo into his fighting style as he is far more graceful and agile, attacking opponents with a variety of elegant spins, twirls, and flips.
* DarkReprise: Seth's theme music in ''V'' is a highly twisted, erratic reprise of his theme from ''IV.''
* DeathOfPersonality: Seth's story in ''V'' and many win quotes illustrate that the Seth as we knew him from ''IV'' has ceased to be. What is alive now is simply a personality that possesses Seth's memories and calls itself Seth, but does not know what itself really is.
-->'''Gill:''' You appear to have no idea who you are.
* DeathByAThousandCuts: In the ''IV'' series, the playable Seth's attacks are very weak in flat damage output, especially compared to his boss counterpart. He makes up for this in just how long and expansive his combos are and the many hits can quickly add up in total damage.
* DefeatMeansPlayable: In the original ''IV'', Seth can be selected after he has been defeated at least once by every character. He's playable from the start since ''SSFIV''.
* DifficultButAwesome: Thanks to his AllYourPowersCombined gimmick, a Seth player has the right tool for every conceivable job, and his specials are flashy enough that you get to look good whilst doing it. The downside is that his health is very low, meaning that any mistakes will cost you greatly, and his similarly low damage output means that you can't just hope for a quick end to the match before you have a chance to make those mistakes. A poor Seth player is dead in seconds, whilst a good one surgically dismantles their foes without giving them the slightest chance to hurt him.
* DittoFighter: In ''IV'', his moveset is a smorgasbord of other fighters' moves in combination with a few unique ones of his own (albeit his own versions, and some with different input commands); he possesses Ryu and Ken's {{Shoryuken}} (which he can repeat multiple times), Guile's Sonic Boom, Chun-Li's Hyakuretsukyaku (although it appears very differently), Yosokyaku and Wall Jump, Zangief's SpinningPiledriver (although he performs it by uppercutting his opponent then teleporting up to catch them), Dhalsim's long-arm-hard-punch and Yoga Teleport, Akuma's Tenmakujinkyaku, and Abel's Focus Attack. This was revamped in ''V'', giving him a more unique moveset with a PowerCopying gimmick.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Downplayed. While Seth's gameplay doesn't resemble another character's playstyle on the roster of ''IV'', most of his moves were taken from existing characters. In his transition to ''V,'' Seth is given a complete overhaul, with his base moves now being entirely original to him and his V-Skill II allowing him to copy one of his opponent's moves.
* DontYouDarePityMe: He snarls this verbatim when using a V-Reversal in ''V.'' [[AlasPoorVillain Considering most characters only pity him now...]]
* DoppelgangerAttack: His V-Trigger powered Critical Art in ''V'' has him create a white clone of himself and together, they suck the opponent into a black hole before launching them at the screen.
* TheDragon: Before F.A.N.G. was introduced, Seth was described as Bison's right hand and the second highest known authority in Shadaloo politics (Balrog and Vega are really just mercenaries). To the point that in the event of Bison being KilledOffForReal, Seth would be seen as the nominal leader of the organization. It's only [[TheStarscream when Seth forgoes the "nominal" bit]] that Bison decides to get rid of him.
* DramaticIrony: A crazed Seth's goals in ''V'' are first and foremost to destroy Bison and Shadaloo. By the time of his revival, Bison and Shadaloo are long dead.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: He sports a very feminine body in ''V'', with Juri acting as a basis for it, but he's still referred to with male pronouns and his deep male voice remains unchanged. Though some of his new alternate costumes have him dressed very femininely.
* EmptyShell: To further cement DeathOfPersonality, this is what spiritual characters in ''V'' claim Seth has become: a ghost wandering aimlessly without purpose.
-->'''Zeku:''' Masterless puppet...a piece of driftwood floating...in an empty sea...
-->'''Dhalsim:''' I pity you. Reduced to nothing more than an empty vessel...
* EvilIsHammy: His speech about humanity in his opening prologue in ''Super Street Fighter IV.'' The hamminess is virtually overflowing. See Quotes/StreetFighter.
* EvilLaugh: Does this when teleporting. Or when he grabs his opponent. Or when he uses his Ultra Combos. Or when somebody enters his stage. Or when he gets up after losing the first round. Put simply, Seth never misses an opportunity to cut loose.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Especially his Japanese voice, though his English voice is no slouch in that regard either.
* EvilTwin: Considering they share the same origin, the same height, the same weight and the same face, Seth is one to Abel.
* EvilutionaryBiologist: A MadScientist who seeks world domination.
* FacePalmOfDoom: His Tanden Engine V-Skill has him palm his opponent's face with one hand, the other clenching their abdomen. His match outro also sees him holding his opponent up by the face before dropping them.
* FauxAffablyEvil: In ''IV'', Seth is considerably more poised and calm compared to his creator, often speaking in an intellectual and philosophical manner. Some of his winquotes have him genuinely complimenting his opponent's strength and skill. But he is certainly no less cold and ruthless. In ''V'' however, Seth has lost most, if not all, of his calm and sophisticated mannerisms for a churlish, openly insane, and [[PsychopathicManchild childish]] personality.
* FinalBoss: Of the ''IV'' games.
* ForScience: His motivation. As well as potentially ruling the world, naturally.
* FullFrontalAssault: In his default and second alternate costume.
* GambitPileup: Believes himself to be pulling the strings behind Shadaloo, when it could also work the other way around. Bison knows exactly what he's trying to do, and is using Seth to further his own as-of-now unknown goals. There's also the fact that unbeknown to him, Juri is using his tournament as a cover for her own takeover of S.I.N.
* GenderBender: He underwent this between ''IV'' and ''V'', going from a male body to a female body modeled after Juri. [[ArtificialHuman Seth is an AI]] [[NoBiologicalSex who knows no "true" gender]] (albeit one still referred to with male pronouns and [[VocalDissonance possessing a deep, masculine voice]]), but the prominent physical changes are still very obvious.
* GlassCannon:
** Seth has some of the highest damage and stun potential across the ''IV'' series, with [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill his intricate and ridiculously flashy combos stretching longer than any other character]] and almost always breaking the damage scaling. He is balanced by uniquely always having the lowest health and stun chart of any character at a pathetic [[MadeOfPlasticine 800/900 ratio.]]
** Largely carrying over to ''V,'' he initially had 925 health, with Akuma taking his place for distinctively lowest health at 900. Once again, this is to offset what [[https://imgur.com/a/8Sfb7KF he is potentially capable of.]] He was later nerfed to have 900 HP like Akuma.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: His blue eyes glow at times.
* HeartDrive: In ''V'', it's revealed that Seth, or rather the consciousness that calls itself Seth, is an ArtificialIntelligence within a mechanical "biological brain" that [[GrewBeyondTheirProgramming gained sentience]]. Despite the original body being destroyed, Juri managed to recover this brain from an abandoned S.I.N laboratory and placed it inside a new vessel: another machine model designed by Shadaloo called Doll Unit Zero.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: Of the non-lethal variety. He sent his goons to beat down Fei Long's movie crew not because they're making a movie about S.I.N., but because it's implied the movie hit a little ''too'' close to the truth on S.I.N. trade secrets.
* HiddenDepths: Underneath his ego and megalomania is an AI construct who simply [[IJustWantToBeSpecial wants to be recognized as his own unique existence and not just a robot created by Bison to be a spare vessel]]. Gouken puts it thusly:
-->'''Gouken:''' You seek individuality and identity, but you will not find it this way.
* HomeStage: He's the only character in ''IV'' to have a traditional home stage with the "Secret Laboratory", where he's fought.
* HomingProjectile: His Tanden Maneuver V-Trigger II has him fire off a projectile that he can guide to hit opponents.
* HumiliationConga: Bordering on MindRape. Seth's plans fall to ruin and Bison and Juri both humiliate him in every way physically and psychologically before leaving him for dead. It's clear that the events that transpired in ''IV'' have taken [[AxCrazy a significant toll]] on Seth's state of mind following his resurrection.
* {{Hypocrite}}: For all his rants about how different he is from Bison, his actions in the story show that he’s every bit as [[JerkAss churlish]], [[AxCrazy unhinged]], and [[TheSociopath psychopathic]] as Bison is.
** His win-quote to Akuma, where he [[VillainHasAPoint rightfully points out]] that embracing a power you can't control is stupid and dangerous. This is undermined by the fact that Seth sought out the Satsui no Hado ''in the first place'' for use in the [[DoomsdayDevice BLECE Project]].
--->''Bah! What kind of fool willingly embraces a power he cannot even control?!''
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: While he's reasonably dignified and threatening in ''IV'', he falls into this status hard in ''V''. Having [[SanitySlippage utterly lost his mind]] as a result from death, self-loathing, and a furious vendetta against Bison, he's become too consumed by blind rage to even realize that Bison is already dead, with his futile scrambles for revenge against him being played for tragedy. Even his opponents see him as [[VillainousBreakdown spiralling so violently]] that [[NotWorthKilling he isn't worth treating as a threat.]]
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Seth's arrogance and bluster is merely a facade and a coping mechanism to hide the fact that he is fully aware he is nothing but another of Bison's backup bodies. His driving motivation is to prove to himself and others that he is a unique being. This complex reaches its absolute ''peak'' in ''V.'' In Seth's intro, his new body will broadcast itself as Doll Unit #0, only for him to nervously butt in saying his name is Seth, and he constantly asserts that he is a "king" or someone of importance. The most notable example is when Seth wins a round on low health, he undergoes a VillainousBreakdown, ''almost sounding like he is on the verge of tears,'' demanding his opponent not call him "defective."
* InternalHomage: His moveset in ''V'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCZ7bC6-KDU makes references]] to other ''Street Fighter'' series characters that didn't make the cut as well as some of Capcom's older, non-''SF''-related fighting games, such as ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' and ''VideoGame/JojosBizarreAdventureHeritageForTheFuture''.
* IronicHell: Even if he is not aware anymore to recognize it, his state in ''V'' is all over the place with this.
** Firstly, he inhabits a new body. This completely undermines the old Seth's belief of his body being pure perfection. Furthermore, the body is based on Juri, who Seth hated almost as much as Bison and died swearing revenge on. The body with a pre-existing codename also constantly refers to itself as "Doll Unit Zero", as if to undermine Seth's own identity and press his BerserkButton of being called a "doll."
** Seth desired to be an all-powerful being acknowledged by all as nothing short of ultimate greatness. Most characters in ''V'' either ''pity'' his miserable state or express serious concern for his mental health. Falke and Ed don't even bother fighting Seth after deducing his state and calmly walk away from him.
** In the conclusion of his story in ''V,'' Seth is trapped in a demented state chasing after killing Bison, who is already dead and thus depriving him of any purpose in life.
* {{Irony}}: For all his desire to be recognized as a unique being, Seth is essentially Bison in all but name. He's the leader of an evil crime organization (S.I.N is merely an offshoot of Shadaloo, serving as its weapons division), he seeks Ryu to complete his evil scheme (much like Bison wishes to possess Ryu's body), and he isn't above manipulating, intimidating, and blackmailing others into helping him. Also, in ''IV'', it is made very clear that despite his sentience, Seth is a cold ArtificialIntelligence that has no soul, beliefs, or feelings beyond what Bison intended for him. In ''V'', he ends up gaining a soul when his personality and mind are transferred over to a new body (again serving as symbolic of how he is "just another bison"), but he ends up going insane because he cannot process the overwhelming flow of emotions. And with the death of his very creator, he has nothing left to cling to or strive for but his ingrained ambitions.
* ItsPersonal: Taken to AxCrazy and pitiful extremes with Bison after he is resurrected in ''V.'' Seth's sole purpose for being now is to chase after killing Bison, who is already long dead.
* JackOfAllTrades: In ''IV'', where his mix of techniques from other fighters make him a versatile fighter who can fight in different ranges. His arm-stretching attack and his Sonic Boom are good in long and middle ranged combat, his SpinningPiledriver works effectively in zero range, his {{Shoryuken}} is a classic anti-air move, and his Yoga Teleport and Tanden Engine can close the distance to the opponent if needed.
* {{Jerkass}}: He was never nice, but Seth in ''IV'' is a calm, polite, and sophisticated villain. By ''V,'' Seth drops all of this, constantly bragging about himself and insulting his foes in incredibly petty ways.
* KaleidoscopeEyes: Red or blue or black eyes depending on the occasion. His female body in ''V'' adds gold eyes to the mix while his nostalgia costume has green eyes.
* KickChick: His incarnation in ''V'' notably features a lot more kicks than before, which one can assume is due to his body being based off Juri, who herself is also a prominent example.
* KickTheDog:
** Ordering Juri to capture the dolls so he could experiment on them until they die.
** Attacking Fei Long's crew to keep them from making a film about S.I.N.
* LargeHam: Seth barely keeps a stoic and professional demeanor on S.I.N. business, but all bets are absolutely off when he's fighting or off duty. Perhaps the hammiest and most expressive villain in the franchise, Seth makes it a hobby to chew the scenery and spout grandiose philosophical speeches whenever he can.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Seth suffers from this in ''V'', although fragmented pieces of his old memories linger. As a result of this, despite previously establishing complex relations with much of the returning cast, he has nothing unique or interesting to say about most of them.
* LastSecondChance: Rose and Gouken suggest Seth could make a HeelFaceTurn and that it isn't too late for him. Unfortunately, this would ''not'' come to pass.
* LaughingMad: Seth's revival in ''V'' has clearly not done his sanity any favors, as his signature maniacal laughter has progressed into full-on demented cackling.
* LossOfIdentity: Seth's story mode in ''V'' revolves around this. The results are...not pleasant.
* MadeOfIron: His boss incarnation in ''IV'' takes less damage than his playable self. Also, his fight with Ryu in ''The Ties That Bind'' has him shrugging off all of Ryu's attacks until Ryu enters the State of Nothingness.
* MadeOfPlasticine: He takes the most damage out of all the characters when used by a regular player, comparable to Shin Akuma and Ultimate [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Rugal]] in ''[[VideoGame/CapcomVsSNK2MarkOfTheMillennium Capcom vs. SNK 2]]''.
* MadnessMantra: Chillingly, Seth doesn't see Falke or Ed as individual people but hallucinates Bison in their place. He repeats the exact same monotonous droning against Bison on loop vs them non-stop, even sharing the same win quote against them.
-->''I am your tool no longer, Bison!''
* ManOnFire: One of Seth's DLC costumes in ''IV'' that also carried over to his nostalgia costume in ''V'' as an input easter egg sees him literally on fire!
* MegatonPunch: If Seth uses his V-Trigger 1 [[MirrorMatch on himself,]] he will gain an entirely new move called "Brutal Impact" where he bulks up into Abigail's frame and launches one of these.
* MindRape: The end result of what happens to him in ''V''. His humiliating defeat in ''IV'', realizing the AwfulTruth of what happened to him and his status as of ''V'', as well as the effects of Bison's horrible abuse towards him have rendered every second of Seth's new life nothing short of torture. This leaves him a sad, broken shell of a being chasing a dead man while raving and screaming out of desperation to assure himself that he is not JustAMachine and that he is someone powerful and of importance.
* MoodSwinger: In ''V,'' Seth's mood is all over the place, going from arrogant and child-like to ''furious'' or incredibly insecure and miserable at the drop of a hat.
* MotiveRant: He loves giving these out, such as the one he gives Ryu while beating the stuffing out of him. See Quotes/StreetFighter for detail.
* MusclesAreMeaningful: For an android, Seth is jacked with muscles. His female body in ''V'' has a muscular, toned physique.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: After Seth Killian, former Community Manager at Capcom and ex-tournament player. This led to jokes after Peter "Combofiend" Rosas took over the position, and Seth (the character) was subsequently nerfed in ''Ultra''.
* {{Narcissist}}: Stemming from his raging InferioritySuperiorityComplex, Seth always likes to assure himself that he's the greatest being to ever grace the universe, and his Tanden Engine the greatest power unmatched by anything. Ironically, this only serves to make him all that much more similar to Bison.
* NightmareFace: His winpose in ''V'' takes a cue straight out of Vega's book, with Seth brandishing a SlasherSmile coupled with WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises. His Nostalgia costume is especially noteworthy as it adds BlackEyesOfCrazy to the mix, with his HellishPupils disappearing completely and leaving his eyes as just empty black voids with small colored dots in them.
* NoBiologicalSex: Seth, being an AI construct inside a spare body for M. Bison, isn't human and technically isn't either male or female, though he is referred to with male pronouns. Even after gaining a new feminine body in ''V'', he's still referred to as male, but Capcom points out that he was never strictly male or female to begin with.
* NotQuiteDead: Despite being brutalized by Bison and Juri, he was not quite out for the count.
* NotWorthKilling: After Seth assaults a bewildered Ed and Falke, Falke deduces just how pitiful he actually is and simply leaves with Ed without much of a fight.
* OmnicidalManiac: Has designs of this. One of his win quotes claims that, when he has taken over the world, he will be the ''last sentient being on earth.'' He echoes this in his revised ''IV'' arcade opening, claiming he will kill all humans and be free of common morality. In ''V'', he is even described as a king of chaos.
* ObviouslyEvil: Just look at him.
* PartsUnknown: Like previous {{Final Boss}}es Bison and Gill, and ''unlike'' almost all of the other World Warriors, his country of origin is never specified.
* PerfectPlayAI: Beating him in the first round is relatively easy. Shit then gets real in the second round.
* PowerArmor: One of his alternate costumes, quite reminiscent of a SteamPunk-ish suit of armor.
* PowerCopying: Seth can copy the special attacks of other fighters. ''V'' even turns this into his V-Skill I, which gives him the ability to copy one of his opponent's attacks during battle.
* PowerOfTheVoid: Seth's Tanden Engine allows him to create vortexes to draw his opponent in. His Tanden Stream has Seth firing a blast of nothingness at his opponent before vacuuming them into the Tanden Engine, and his Sonic Boom projectiles are colorless in comparison to Guile's, reflecting his empty, soulless nature. His Critical Art in ''V'' has him and a white doppelganger create a vortex to draw his opponent in before launching them at the screen.
* PsychopathicManchild: Despite all his suave, arrogant, and philosophical posturing, ''V'' fully reveals that this is what Seth ''really'' is deep down: An insecure child that is desperate to prove himself to his father (Bison) that he is better than him. This reaches its logical conclusion in Seth's story in ''V'', which is essentially him throwing a massive, deranged temper tantrum over all his pent up insecurities.
* PrecisionFStrike: Owed to his sophisticated front, Seth ''never'' swears even when facing death and humiliation in many scenarios in ''IV.'' In ''V'', he gets precisely one dig at this, calling Ed a "bastard" when hallucinating him as Bison.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: His Hecatoncheris special in ''V'' has him assail his opponent with a rapid barrage of punches. He can also use his Tanden Engine V-Skill to copy Abigail's Abigail Punch.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: His character selection art has glowing red eyes. This also happens in his arcade ending in the vanilla ''IV''.
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: An accidental one, but "Seth" is also the name of Adam and Eve's third son. Due to his connection to Abel, Seth was originally intended to be named "Cain", but he was named for Seth Killian instead.
* RubberMan: He can stretch his arms like Dhalsim. As of ''V'', he loses this ability, though he can still temporary shift his proportions when needed.
* SameCharacterButDifferent: He might be back in ''V'', but his resurrections has left him violently unhinged and not at all resembling his former self.
* SanityHasAdvantages: In ''V'', [[AxCrazy he's become so unhinged]] that he hallucinates any presence of Psycho Power as Bison himself, and his violent scramble of attempting to "defeat" him is enough of a window for [[VillainExitStageLeft his actual opponents to simply leave.]]
* SanitySlippage: In ''V'', it's painfully clear that his "death" and subsequent resurrection has caused Seth's sanity to take a nosedive, not helped by the fact that his new body is based off Juri, [[TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody causing Seth to take on many of her unhinged mannerisms.]] It's clear from his dialogue that he is desperate to assert himself as his own being, going from boasting about how his "new version" is perfect one second, to thinking the opponent is somehow mocking him upon their defeat and then angrily screaming at them to not call him "defective".
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: When some insane S.I.N. thugs go rogue, Seth's organization can pull strings to make sure the police are not involved with putting them down.
* {{Shoryuken}}: From Ryu or Ken or both. He can use it three times in a row. As of ''V'', he trades the traditional Shoryuken for Demitri's Demon Cradle now called Mad Cradle, although he can still use the Shoryuken by copying from Ken.
* {{Shotoclone}}: A minor example, but Seth does have a projectile attack (Sonic Boom) and a literal {{Shoryuken}}. The Hyakuretsukyaku compensates for the lack of a [[HurricaneKick Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku]].
* ShowerScene: In the opening scene of his arcade mode in ''IV''. It would count as {{Fanservice}}...[[FanDisservice if it wasn't for the Tanden Engine in his gut.]]
* SlasherSmile: [[https://imgur.com/a/Lb4AkAM He makes a horrifyingly unhinged one of these in his V outro.]]
* SlouchOfVillainy: Seth does this often on a nice chair when off duty, notably in his original ending in ''IV.'' The [[https://imgur.com/a/f8bgScb same shot]] is re-used in his ''IV'' arcade route ending in ''V''.
* SNKBoss: One of the most notorious in the series. The CPU version of Seth fought at the end of the Arcade Mode in ''IV'' has increased health and stun, and some of the most brutal and unforgiving AI in the series' history. Even if you have the difficulty set to the lowest possible setting, Seth is always programmed to read your inputs and cheat whenever he can. Starting from ''Super IV'', he keeps his 0-frame recovery Yoga Teleport that he lost from the original version, and from ''Arcade Edition'' onward keeps his old aerial Heavy Punch (Dhalsim's signature "Yoga Sniper"). And his AI only gets worse whenever you win a round, as he gets up and says "ILetYouWin" and a more menacing version of his theme starts playing.
* TheSociopath: Like his creator, Bison, Seth has no empathy or remorse, manipulates others with ease, and is driven by staggering arrogance and ego. As of ''V,'' it's revealed Seth leans much more toward being a psychopath than an unfeeling sociopath, being plagued with severe emotional issues that manifests in violent and evil ways.
* TheSoulless: Being an ArtificialHuman created by Shadaloo, Seth has no true soul, a trait commented on by several characters. Ironically, this ends up saving his life in the UDON comics during his fight with Akuma. Akuma notes that since Seth has no soul, his lethal Shun Goku Satsu has no effect on him. This causes Akuma to deem Seth not worth his time. This is retconned by ''V,'' where a divine being like Necalli recognizes Seth as having a soul, unlike Kage.
* SpinningPiledriver: From Zangief, no less. As of ''V'', he needs to copy Zangief in-match to use it again.
* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: In ''V'', [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EAEzw2SuqDM As shown in this video]], Seth's V-Skill I not only lets him copy one of opponent's moves, but also lets him copy any weapon his opponent wields such as Falke's staff or Menat's crystal ball.
* TheStarscream: Seth's goal in life besides world domination is to overthrow Bison and take over Shadaloo.
* StrawNihilist: Ironically, despite his philosophical nature, Seth doesn't believe in anything mystical, which frequently shows up in his win quotes against Dhalsim.
-->''Your illusions don't fool me.''\\
''If your moves were truly born of the divine, I would not be able to use them.''\\
''(Vs. T. Hawk) Destiny...Gods...Spirits...All are the product of delusional minds!''\\
''[[AboveGoodAndEvil Evil?]] [[IfJesusThenAliens Like the concept of gods,]] [[StrawAtheist this is a meaningless human construct.]]''
* SuperToughness: Shown in ''Anime/StreetFighterIVTheTiesThatBind'' in his fight with Ryu, which is a CurbStompBattle in Seth's favor until Ryu enters the State of Nothingness.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: His design and fighting style combine some elements from Urien and Twelve from the ''III'' series.
** Design-wise, he and Urien are both muscular men with no clothing. Seth also shares Urien's [[ChromeChampion color-changing skin]], going from bright silver skin to dark purple when he uses certain moves, or is defeated. Also, the two have similar motives: Urien wants to overthrow his brother Gill and be the leader of the Illuminati. Seth wishes to overthrow his creator Bison and be recognized as his own person rather than another of Bison's backup bodies. And on top of that, he has access to Urien's Chariot Tackle as a Focus Attack, though he has it as a proper attack in OMEGA Mode.
** Similarly to Twelve, both are naked synthetic humanoid beings with unnatural skin colors, and the both of them have the ability to [[DittoFighter copy the moves of other fighters]], although the way they do this differs. Seth takes moves from others, while Twelve can outright transform into other fighters. Additionally, before he was named Seth, he was just #15, so both of them were [[YouAreNumberSix named after numbers]] as well.
** The concept of a Shadaloo-created being that collects battle data on fighters was already used in ''Anime/StreetFighterIITheAnimatedMovie'', with the Monitor Cyborg. The difference, however, is that the Monitor Cyborgs simply collected the data and didn't fight, unlike Seth, though the Japan exclusive tie-in game had one of these cyborgs as the sole playable character and a ShotoClone.
** He also calls to mind the [[VideoGame/StreetFighterEX Cycloids]]. They were similarly humanoid but without all the features and also had a mix of attacks from other fighters. Seth has more of a personality than they do, however.
* TeleportSpam: He knows Dhalsim's Yoga Teleport. The SNKBoss version really loves doing this. This can be quite annoying, when he fires a Sonic Boom at you and then teleports right behind you, so you block it as a cross-up. His Tanden Ignition V-Trigger I in ''V'' lets him cancel his moves into teleports.
* TemporaryBulkChange: In ''V'', some copied attacks cause Seth's body to mimic the fighter it comes from, such as becoming larger and more muscular like Abigail when using Abigail Punch.
* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: Seth's story reveals that his insanity is so severe that he can no longer distinguish the difference between Bison himself and his Psycho Power. When he tries to track down Bison, he encounters Ed and Falke instead, but rather than seeing the two of them, all he sees is the same twisted hallucination of Bison that they both saw in their nightmares.
* TragicVillain: It's made very clear in ''V'' that even though he is evil and he relishes in it, it's all because Seth doesn't know any better. He was created and programmed that way by Bison: as a heartless, soulless machine meant to be nothing more than a substitute and a pawn for the dictator.
* TronLines: His feminine body in ''V'' features numerous, brightly-lit seams across the skin that light up when he uses certain attacks, most notably his copied techniques.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: When Bison "died", he saw this as his chance to usurp him as ruler of the world.
* TurnsRed: The first round against him may be easy for some. Then crap gets real.
* UncertainDoom: The ending of Seth's story in ''V'' is left fairly ambiguous as to whether or not he, or rather his consciousness, dies. He is left stuck in a delirium trying to kill a twisted image of Bison that isn't actually there, and the Doll Unit Zero body notes that a serious error has occurred and that the personality module needs to be reset, meaning that he could either be stuck in an infinite loop of dementia or that his new body has just suffered a catastrophic system crash, thus causing both his consciousness and his body to cease functioning and effectively killing him.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Despite how odd his face looks, Vega's opening in ''SSFIV'' shows he drives around in public. Of course, given he is essentially a crime lord and constantly surrounded by bodyguards, no one is going to speak up about it. Also, in ''V,'' despite inhabiting a new female body, very few characters already familiar with him take mind of this. Instead, most characters commentate on Seth's mental health.
* UnwittingPawn
** To Bison. Everything he is and has is all because of Bison's machinations. He was created solely to be either a backup body or a figurehead leader to take his place until such a time when he is able to be revived, whichever comes first or is more appropriate at the time. S.I.N itself is nothing more than a branch of Shadaloo without any official connection to it so as to keep their profile low. Vega tells this to Seth as his initial plans are foiled and he has to be rescued by the other Shadaloo Kings in ''The Ties That Bind''. Then at the end of ''IV'', he is finished off by Bison and told to his face that [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech he will never amount to anything except being a tool to him]]. In addition, Seth's own creation, Juri, ends up betraying him when his plans go belly-up.
** As ''6'' reveals, Seth is also this to the de facto new leader of Shadaloo, JP, for he was behind Seth's resurrection in the first place.
* VillainousBreakdown: Undergoes this ''big time'' in ''V''. Not only is he having an existential crisis due to being in a new body and his story taking place after his creator Bison dies, leaving him with no ambition and no one to surpass, but his dialogue is incredibly unhinged and prone to drastic mood swings. Sure enough, by the end of his story Seth has completely lost his grip on reality and is left cackling like a maniac and violently flailing around trying to kill a hallucination of Bison, trapping himself in an infinite loop of egomania that causes his new body to suffer a complete system crash.
* VocalDissonance: In ''V'', he has a new, female body that resembles Juri, but he still has the same deep voice he's always had.
* VocalEvolution: Both Creator/MichaelMcConnohie and Creator/AkioOtsuka have markedly changed the tone of Seth's voice from his debut to reflect on his newfound twisted personality. In particular, the cold confidence he once had in ''IV'' is gone. Instead, Seth now sounds a lot more arrogant and emotionally unhinged, coming across as more vulnerable and insecure. Which he is.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Usually FullFrontalAssault, but he also wears pants in his first alternate costume.
* WallJump: Probably from Chun-Li, since he has one of her special moves and another one of her unique moves.
* WarriorTherapist: An evil version. In the climax of the ''Ties That Bind,'' he steps out to personally fight a conflicted Ryu and tempt him to give in to the Satsui no Hado. Through the fight, Ryu does clear his mind of doubt but finds his own path through the power of nothingness over the Satsui.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: His goal, aside from world domination, is to prove to himself and others that he is not just another of Bison's puppets.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: He was born into a world of evil, with Bison being the closest thing he has to a father and is seen, at best, as a temporary substitute leader. All he wants, in the end, is to be recognized as an individual, not just an empty body double for Bison. Though he's certainly playing the role of the villain with his obsession with power, and goal of world domination, given who is "father" is, and how power is the only thing he cares about, it seems to be the only thing Seth has ever considered to have any value. That, and being recognized for the individual he is. In many ways, he's like a child doing what he's learned from his father. ''V'' runs with this trope to its logical conclusion.
* YinYangBomb: The Tanden Engine allows Seth to utilize light and dark ki.
* YouFool: When he throws his opponent backward in ''V,'' he seethingly snarls.
--> '''YOU IDIOT!'''
* YouAreNumberSix: Among the SuperSoldiers engineered by BLECE, Seth is #15, but calling him that presses his BerserkButton.
--> '''''[[SuddenlyShouting NEVER CALL ME BY MY NUMBER!]]''''' ''My name is '''Seth''', and I am '''unique'''. I am not a toy that can only blindly obey Bison's orders! Defy me, and perish! That includes you as well as Bison!''
* YouWillBeAssimilated: What he says to his opponents, although played with in that he doesn't physically absorb their bodies; he merely absorbs their [[DittoFighter fighting styles]].
* YourSizeMayVary: Despite towering over most characters in his original body at a height of (198 cm), his nostalgia costume in ''V'' has him at the same height as his female body based on Juri, making him seem ''noticeably'' tinier than before. This is enforced for gameplay balancing, as no one would want to use a costume that increases a character's proportions.[[note]]and as explained on a Capcom Unity stream, such a costume would be outright banned in any competitive setting.[[/note]] The boss Seth faced in the ''IV'' arcade route [[https://i.imgur.com/haoviuq.png notably sees Seth in his nostalgia costume and scaled up to his original height.]] However, when he is knocked down or stunned, he will suddenly shift back to his playable version's height.

->Full name Juri Han, codename "Spider"; a Taekwondo prodigy from South Korea whose parents were killed by Shadaloo. Juri is a dangerous, hedonistic sociopath who likes to taunt her opponents and doesn't care about anything but satisfying her dangerous whims. She became an agent of S.I.N and the test subject for one of their most advanced pieces of technology: a cybernetic eye implant known as the Feng Shui Engine. The implant, a smaller version of Seth's Tanden Engine, takes ki energy from the surrounding nature and feeds it to the Engine's user to heighten their abilities and make them more powerful. Juri pledges loyalty to Seth in exchange for the "new toy", then enters the tournament to test her new abilities... and further her own dark agendas.\\
\\
She returns in ''V'', sporting biker gear, a skin-tight bodysuit, and an eyepatch to cover where her original Feng Shui Engine was ripped out by Bison. Having replaced the Engine with a prototype version discovered in an abandoned S.I.N laboratory, Juri is contacted by Kolin and joins the Illuminati in their plot to destroy Shadaloo and Bison. After assisting in Shadaloo's downfall, in ''6'', Juri continues to satisfy her own whims in a gloomy fugue.\\
\\
Juri, being the sadist that she is, has a fighting style built to shut down and frustrate her opponents before going in with powerful and aggressive close-quarter tools. With her "Fuhajin" projectile and "Kasatushi" counter, she can catch her opponent at unpredictable timings and angles. And with Feng Shui Engine active, her offense game drastically improves, allowing her to go for lengthier and riskier combos while active to tear apart her foe.\\
''V'' gives a significant overhaul to her kit and makes her more of a momentum based-fighter thanks to "Fuharenkyaku", a special move that stores charges for different attacks that she can string together; her projectile is folded into the light version of this attack. Her other tools from ''IV'' are all removed or repurposed to build around this system.\\
''6'' reworks several elements of her moveset to make her more flexible. The charges she gains from "Fuharenkyaku" can now be shared between all three attacks that utilize its charge, and she can perform a weaker variation of them even if she lacks a charge for them. Her "Shiku-sen" divekick and its follow-up combo from ''IV'' returns.

According to ''Final Fight'' Director Akira Nishitani, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poison_%28Final_Fight%29#Conception_and_history Poison was originally intended to be a cis woman]], but became a "newhalf"[[note]]An offensive Japanese term for pre-op transgender individuals[[/note]] in order to mitigate American concerns about hitting women. This alone has led to debate due to the fact that the term "newhalf" is used both in the Japanese manual and the concept art, while Nishitani said this change happened ''after release''. (In fact, the whole issue was initially side-stepped by having Poison's sprite replaced with an unambiguously male character, and later appearances of Poison in the west referred to the character as a male crossdresser). Since then, interviews with current and former Capcom employees are all over the place -- Nishitani has said that Poison "could be male" but in his personal view Poison was female, while ''IV'' producer Yoshinori Ono once indicated that Poison is a post-op trans woman in the West, while in Japan she was simply (and rather crudely) "tucking her business away to look female", but has more recently indicated Capcom did not have a stance and that it was up to the player to decide. Capcom has made some jokes about the ambiguity, such as a few character quotes in ''Street Fighter X Tekken'' (the first game where she was playable) noticing how "manly" she seems for a woman, many of which ended up cut from the Western release after Capcom worked with GLAAD to minimize potentially transphobic content. The issue is also jokingly referenced in ''V: Arcade Edition'', where Poison says that being gossiped about is just proof of her popularity. Also, knocking her into the computer in Lair of the Four Kings, which normally causes a reading of the character's stats to appear on the screen, an "unknown" reading appears where the gender normally is, and she has 1000 points of health in ''Ultra'', which stands out as most female fighters made by Capcom have less than that.

Breakout Character is defined as an Ensemble Dark Horse who becomes a main character. Viper is absent in V and was not on the launch roster of 6, so unlike Juri (for example), who became a series ‘must-have’ after debuting in IV, Viper doesn’t fit. She’s actually Out Of Focus.
