How to unlock the Hard Times achievement in Super Street Fighter IV - Definitive Guide

The easiest and quickest way to get this achievement is to pick Zangief and just spam lariat(all 3 punches), this problem wasn't fixed from vanilla SF4; however, there are certain moves you should watch out for, mainly Cammy's spiral arrow and Balrog's turn punch, these things can easily get by you so be sure to block and not be careless. Just keep spinning until you beat Seth, and the achievement should pop.

EDIT: You don't have to use the default arcade settings, you can set it to 1 round wins and 30 second rounds to make it go even faster.

This works like a charm, just like it did in the first SFIV. One other thing that might be added is that you can speed things up by putting the number of rounds to 1 and the raound duration to 30 seconds.

Ahh sweet, sweet spamming 'gief. I was hoping this wasn't going to be fixed, thanks for the confirmation!

Since it didn't seem to be obvious, you can still move around when spamming Lariat. That particularly helped with people who wanted to keep away and start throwing projectiles.

1 round, 30 sec + Zangief spamming Lariat = NO PROBLEM. Works great!

An alternative way is to use Blanka and Spam his Electricity move (Hammer the punch button).
I was strugling with zangief so i thought i would try it and i got it quite easily. Suppose it all depends on your taste/Style

A solid choice, but I can't recommend it. Every time I chose Blanka, I fought Cody or Ryu, who would proceed to projectile the hell out of me. That particular strategy was worthless against those two, so I had to switch to Zangief.

You need to complete the arcade mode on the Hardest difficulty level. To simplify, you can set it to 1 round, 30 seconds. You can use as many continuations as you like during the process - this does not affect the receipt.
