Hmmm I've been hearing a bit of the opposite from my friends (who are insane at SF). They say that taking out the ultimate block technique (whatever you call it) was casualizing it. :P

5minute break+ Ice cold drink+ gamefaqs' cheap tricks advice= victory

I now feel liberated, I think I may have to sideline my Tekken mentality of using every character to beat arcade mode, I can't really be arsed to be honest, difficulty is a little too high for my taste.

Many may consider Tekken crap (at least the people I know always seem to look down upon it) but at least the difficulty is evenly spaced.

Well it's decided, I won't buy this game! You made me save 60€, thanks ^^

What does this have to do about if the game is good or not? o_O

Save yourself the rage and put it on Very Easy or Easiest.

I was fighting Seth for about 3 hours the other night on Easy with not one win >_>

Difficulty jumps there's is a steady increase in difficulty, it doesn't just throw you in at the deep end and expects you to swim, in that sense Tekken is more user friendly than SF4.

Note, not saying SF4 is bad or anything I'm actually loving it but it's just the difficulty that's making it hard to enjoy.

Seth is only a challenge on hardest. I can usually beat him my first try on normal or lower. His super move doesn't even kill you in one hit. You should play King of Fighters and fight one of their bosses.

His gay command grab and Dhaslim arms piss me off more than anything. That command grab is seriously destructive.

Okay, I don't want people missing out on this awesome game due to ignorance, so I'll say it again.

THERE ARE TWO DIFFICULTY SETTINGS BELOW EASY THAT ARE ACTUALLY EASY.

The AI is so dumb on these settings you can beat Seth no problem by just spamming down+R2 with any character.

Are you on the easiest setting? There are some that are easier than easy and you can easily make it through by just pressing forward and fierce kick.

You dirty dawg you!
