The direction he's facing is pretty much only a factor in dealing with force function orb. It may have changed wince I stopped really actively playing him but we didn't really do FF orb cross up stuff back then. For normal orb you just want to pay attention to which side Seth was on when he put the orb down. You can always block the orb by holding away from that direction. Seth can still personally hit you on the other side right before the orb so it's not like there's NO mix here but it makes it more manageable.
@@daikoooo My understanding is that they changed the cross up rules universally because if they used the old rules for Kaguya then she would be kind of fucked.
