Description
Seth using Tanden Install on Cammy to absorb her special moves.
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. Some moves have differing juggle properties to the original moves, allowing them to be used in a wider variety of combo situations.

Tactics
Unlike the original special attack from Street Fighter IV, the suction effect of Tanden Engine dealsa small amount of damage, whilst also bringing the opponent closer to Seth. If it hits, Seth can press any punch button to use Tanden Install which deals 54 additional damage and copies one special move from the opponent. This copied move can then be executed by pressing V-Skill again. This gives the move a lot of versatility, depending on the character match-up and the player's own intuition.
Upon copying, Seth can use the opponent's special move as a part of his combos; though the copied moves are predetermined, they appear to be intended for his advantages in his play style. In a broad summary, his copied attacks are meant for the purpose of setting up or are to be set up, be it for extra damage and okizeme, or against certain zoning characters, he can perform a projectile of his own to control spacing. For a more detailed analysis, his copied attacks allow him to utilize cornerstone moves crucial to that character's playstyle, and allows for openings for combos of his own and to apply a passive degree of pressure on the opponent as a "secret weapon".
