Has this ever happened to you?

Not an SNK boss, but Seth has the syndrome nonetheless.

You're minding your own business as you bust heads and throw fireballs, only to be faced with a boss that just won't go down.  He seems to read your mind, countering your every move.  His projectiles fill the whole screen and do significant damage even when you block.  And finally, just as you've filled your super meter and prepare to do some damage of your own, his insane hit priority trumps that of your most powerful attack, and you're knocked out by a weak punch.

If that's the case, you've more than likely fallen victim to SNK Boss Syndrome, where the only remedy is a hell of a lot of practice, a hell of a lot more luck, and if all else fails, there's always the easiest difficulty setting (if you're really that lucky).

Yep, happens in a lot of fighting games, it can be annoying but I always seem to beat them, even though it can take a hell of a long time.

Seth seems to just be completely fucking random for me


I'll destroy him  the first round,get dominated the second round and not even get a hit in the 3rd round


Even by lowering difficulty he seems to be totally random
