Attack Potency: City Block level (Was confident in his ability to defeat Juri Han, even after witnessing what she could do; his Tanden Engine should be comparable to her Feng Shui Engine, as the latter is a miniaturized version of the former. Much stronger than his other 26 copies. Thrashed base Ryu with little effort) | City Block level (The Doll Unit Zero should be comparable to his previous body and is powered by the same Tanden Engine model. Juri, once she lost her Feng Shui Engine, was afraid of fighting him. Was about to defeat both Ed and Falke)
Speed: High Hypersonic Travel and Combat Speed (Faster than Ryu) | High Hypersonic Travel and Combat Speed (Likely as fast as before and superior to base Juri)
Lifting Strength: Class M (Much stronger than Zangief. Effortlessy restrained base SFIV Ryu and disarticulated his arm. Able to snap necks with a single hand) | Class M (Comparable to his previous body)
Striking Strength: City Block level (The Tanden Engine should power him in a similar way as the Feng Shui Engine does to Juri. Badly pummeled base Ryu) | City Block level (Should be as strong as before and is powered by the same type of Engine. Could overwhelm base Juri as well as Ed and Falke)
Durability: City Block level (The Tanden Engine should create artificial ki that enhances strength and durability as well in the same way as the Feng Shui Engine does for Juri. Could no sell base Ryu's attacks) | City Block level (Is powered by the same type of Engine, making him as durable as before. Could take hits from base Juri, Ed and Falke without problems)

Standard Equipment: Tanden Engine
Intelligence: Genius (Able to control the S.I.N. as its CEO, managing military operations, scientific research and more. Is a master combatant, with the natural ability to assimilate the fighting styles of defeated opponents or just by watching registrations and analyzing data about them; he can then create new versions of already established techniques and merge them into a new style in constant improvement. As Unit #15, he has acquired the fighting styles of Ryu, Chun-Li, Guile, Dhalsim and Zangief, with some techniques somehow resembling those of Urien. As the Doll Unit Zero, his mind is clouded by madness and hallucinations due to programming errors, undermining his reasoning capability and memory, which still remain the same as before during brief moments of lucidity. He lost the data he had previously acquired, but at the same time he has learned a new unfathomable ultimate martial arts style and a particular skill in mental arithmetic)
Weaknesses: Cocky, and can lose his cool if the fight isn´t going his way | As the Doll Unit Zero, his personality failed to integrate in the new body, causing him to become mentally unstable and haunted by headaches and hallucinations of M. Bison, as well as the desire to kill him
Note: As confirmed by his story in Street Fighter V, Seth's gender is male. His biological brain has been implanted into a feminine body, but he still remains a male.
