Tanden Engine (V-Skill)


 * For the special attack, see Tanden Engine (special attack).

The Tanden Engine is Seth's first V-Skill in Street Fighter V.

Description
Executed by pressing Medium Punch and Medium Kick simultaneously, Seth brings his hands together in front of his abdomen and generates a miniature black hole which sucks the opponent towards him. By pressing any punch button when his opponent is in range, Seth performs Tanden Install. He places a hand on his head while thrusting his other hand into their midsection (also known as the tanden) to absorb one of their special attacks.

By pressing Medium Punch and Medium Kick after the installment, Seth can use Install Art which is performing his opponent's special attacks, depending on the character he absorbs from.

Tactics
Similar to his original special attack, Tanden Engine itself does no damage (unless used on another Seth), but brings the opponent closer to them. If it hits, he can absorb one of their special attacks with Tanden Install by pressing any punch button. He is equipped with the attack until he perform it. This gives the move a lot of versatility, depending on the character match-up. Seth can use his opponent's special move as a part of his combos for extra damage and okizeme. Against certain zoning characters, he can perform a projectile of his own to control spacing.
