Tanden Stream

"See what I'm really made of! Become a part of me... HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! It's over!
(本気を出すとしよう！私とひとつになろうではないか！ …終わりだ！, Honkiwodasu to shiyou! Watashi to hitotsu ni naroude wanai ka! ...Owarida!^?)"

—Seth

The Tanden Stream (丹田ストリーム, Tanden Sutoriimu^?) is Seth's first Ultra Combo in the Street Fighter IV series.

Damage

Seth	340

Description

Tandem Stream sequence in action.

Executed by performing two quarter-circle forward motions and pressing all three punch buttons, Seth swirls his hands around and then releases an invisible projectile. If the projectile hits the opponent, they are pushed backward.

If the opponent doesn't block, they are sucked into a vortex emanating from the Tanden Engine in Seth's abdomen. Once inside the Tanden Engine, the opponent is swirled around, suffering damage as Seth laughs maniacally. He then fires the opponent out like a missile, and they hit the "fourth wall" of the screen face-first.

Changes

In Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition only (but not the 2011 update), the move's maximum damage was increased from 340 to 380 but was reverted in the 2011 update.

Tactics

The Tanden Stream can punish long-range projecticle users; this move's initial projectile has priority over almost every other projectile attack in the game. The move can still be used as a combo finisher which can be used after the opponent is hit by Seth's Crouching Heavy Punch.

Trivia

• When Seth KO's his opponent, the Ultra usually ends on a wall "splat" that his opponent hits the boundary, and stays in that position while the announcer says KO. There is a chance that the KO freezes at the wrong frame (either before the character hits the wall or after they start "bouncing" off the wall). This usually happens on the PC version.
• The move also appears as Seth's Special Attack as a Rival Unit in Project X Zone. The animation starts with Seth hitting the foe with a Hyakuretsukyaku, before starting the Ultra Combo, properly said.
