* Seth flips forward mid-air then dive kicks (downward angle) toward the opponent. The mid-air flip can be useful for evading fireballs pre-emptively
* Seth flips forward mid-air then dive kicks (downward angle) toward the opponent. The mid-air flip has i-frames, leads to hard knockdown if connected against an airborne opponent, and can be followed by a Dual Rising Sun if it connects meaty.
==Desperation Moves==
'''Dual Rising Sun [Morote-Sho-Yoh]''' - (qcf x 2 + A/C)
* This super combines the animations and a few of the properties of both strengths of his qcf+P attack. It starts with qcf+A, then ends in qcf+C. The first attack has has very fast start-up and massive hit stun (making it ideal for trades), while the second attack launches and knocks the opponent towards the corner.
* On block, there is a very large gap between the first and second hit. The opponent can simply roll or reversal before the second attack is released. The second attack, however, has enormous frame advantage.
* This DM can be easily super canceled from Seth's qcf+A, and can be cancelled from his cancel-able standing heavy normal attacks
* Seth slides towards the opponent (df+B animation) then kicks them while laying down 7 times. The first 6 hits are low attacks and the 7th attack is a mid attack that launches the opponent up vertically.
* The differences between the light kick (B) and heavy kick (D) versions are that, the B version has a shorter distance but has faster startup making it easier to combo into, while the D version has more startup but a farther reach and brief i-frame window.
* There are gaps in between the hits that the opponent can normal roll if they are blocking.
* Causes a soft knockdown
* Seth dive kicks away from the opponent. Good for building meter, and creating space between yourself and the opponent
:* This slide kick can be inputted directly after the dive kick to provide a surprise to your opponent or to mix up the arrangement in your movement a bit.
==DM==
* This is a command counter super that counters all normals and most special / super moves. It cannot counter ranbu-based supers (example: Iori's qcf, hcb+P) or projectiles. The amount of active frames during the counter isn't very long, but it active on the first frame. Seth is in an counter hit state during the counter, and has poor recovery if whiffed.
'''Morote-Sho-Yoh''' - (qcf x 2 + A/C)
* This super combines the animations and a few of the properties of both strengths of his qcf+P attack. It starts with qcf+A, then ends in qcf+C. The first attack has massive hit stun, while the second attacks launches and knocks the opponent towards the corner.
* Seth tosses the opponent towards the corner that causes a soft knockdown
* On block, there is a very large gap between the first and second hit. The opponent can simply roll or reversal before the second attack is released. The second attack however is very safe on block.
* This DM can be easily super cancelled from Seth's qcf+A, and can be cancelled from his cancel-able standing heavy normal attacks
* Same as the DM version but can counter jump attacks, and has increased damage. It also has the same animations as the DM version but has a longer counter activation time than DM version.

Doh-Tori-Shichimonsatsu - qcf, hcb + A/C
==Hidden Super Desperation Move==
'''Bloom of Chrysanthemum [Shigure-Rangiku]''' - (f, hcf + AC)
* This HSDM has the beginning animation slide to his qcf, hcb + B/D Desperation Move but doesn't share hit properties of it at all. It is a close ranged command throw that ends in a status effect that scrambles the opponent's directional inputs until they hit Seth or Seth them again.
* The range to activate the throw must be fairly close and it should not be treated as his df+B slide, or his qcf, hcb + B/D. Opponents must not be in block stun for the throw to activate, but you can combo into this throw from Seth's cancel-able standing and crouching heavy normals and cancel-able command moves.
* If this HSDM is whiffed at a close range, Seth can be easily punished.
==Combos==
Landing cl.D or cl.C(1) off a jump-in is awkward, it's best to go for a cr.A. If so, remove one cr.A for the jump-in.

Special Moves
Rising Sun [Sho-Yoh] - (qcf + A/C)
Seth performs sort of a open hand wind-based uppercut move. The light punch (A) is a left handed uppercut while the heavy punch (C) version is a right handed uppercut that moves him forward slightly.
The A version causes two hits, and a soft knockdown while the C version is just one hit, has less damage than the A version, can counter-wire on counter hit, and gives the opponent a hard knockdown.
The A version can combo easily from his cancel-able standing and crouching light and heavy normals, while the C version can combo easier from cancel-able heavy normals
The A version can be super cancelled from the 1st or 2nd hit. The C version is super cancel-able as well but the super wont connect because the opponent will be knockdown away
Both versions push Seth back away from the opponent if blocked, but he can be punished by special moves and supers that can reach him while he is in recovery
Body Snatcher [Doh-Kuzushi] - (hcf + B/D)
The light kick version (B) counters jumping attacks, while the heavy kick version (D) counters ground based mid-attacks.
The light kick version slams the opponent to the ground causing a hard knockdown, while the heavy kick version temporary stuns the opponent throws them to opposite player side (similar to Iori's hcb,f+P command throw) and causes no damage
Foot Snatcher [Ashi-Tori] - (d, d + A/C)

Causes a hard knockdown
Very slow recovery if whiffed
Bow Moon [Kyu-Getsu] - (hcb + B/D)
Seth dash forward with a thrusting knee attack
The light kick version (B) travels 1/2 screen distance while the heavy kick version (D) travels 1/2 screen distance with a character space added. The D version is safer on block than the B version. In the corner, this can be followed up with Dual Rising Sun, d+C, or (after the D version) f+A.
Causes a soft knockdown
Seth is in a counter hit state during the dash
┗Arrow Moon [Ya-Getsu] - f + K / String Moon [Gen-Getsu] - d + K
f + K is a mid attack that has the same animation as his back + B command move
down + K is a low attack that launches the opponent in a juggle-able state, and causes a soft knockdown. The sweep will whiff if the knee hits the opponent
These follow-ups can be released before the Bow Moon's knee is released on whiff
All of the below can be performed from a backdash.
Moon Fall [Koh-Getsu] - (qcf + A) in air
Seth dive kicks away from the opponent. Good for building meter, and creating space between yourself and the opponent.

On block, there is a very large gap between the first and second hit. The opponent can simply roll or reversal before the second attack is released. The second attack, however, has enormous frame advantage.
This DM can be easily super canceled from Seth's qcf+A, and can be cancelled from his cancel-able standing heavy normal attacks
Soft knockdown
Moon Ocean [Irimi-Nadazuki] - (qcf, hcb + B/D)
Seth slides towards the opponent (df+B animation) then kicks them while laying down 7 times. The first 6 hits are low attacks and the 7th attack is a mid attack that launches the opponent up vertically.

Soft knockdown
Hidden Super Desperation Move
Bloom of Chrysanthemum [Shigure-Rangiku] - (f, hcf + AC)
This HSDM has the beginning animation slide to his qcf, hcb + B/D Desperation Move but doesn't share hit properties of it at all. It is a close ranged command throw that ends in a status effect that scrambles the opponent's directional inputs until they hit Seth or Seth them again.
The range to activate the throw must be fairly close and it should not be treated as his df+B slide, or his qcf, hcb + B/D. Opponents must not be in block stun for the throw to activate, but you can combo into this throw from Seth's cancel-able standing and crouching heavy normals and cancel-able command moves.
If this HSDM is whiffed at a close range, Seth can be easily punished.
