Far D can be used a meaty attack but isn't cancel-able
Crouching
cr. A and cr. C are cancel-able

Special Attacks
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 soft 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)
This move counters low attacks and crouching attacks that aim at the legs (crouching light punches for example). The opponent gets thrown in the air and they are in a juggle-able state before they hit the ground.
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 more safer on block than the B version.
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
Moon Set [Raku-Getsu] - (qcf + B) in air
A completely vertical descending dive kick that can be cancelled from his j.A and j.C and causes a hard knockdown. It can cross-up if properly spaced and time, and it can also build meter if whiffed. It also causes 10% (or 100 hit points) of damage.
Dark Moon [An-Getsu] - (qcf + C) in air
This is a downward angled dive kick that has a steeper angle than j.D and less steep than j.B. Can be cancelled from his j.A or j.B. This dive kick can be hard to punish is released from certain jump heights and timings.
Sail Moon [Ei-Getsu] - (qcf + D) in air
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
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
┗Slide Kick - df+ B
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
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 massive hit stun, while the second attacks 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 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
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.
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 less startup but a farther reach towards the opponent.
There are gaps in between the hits that the opponent can normal roll if they are blocking.
This is a command counter super that counters ground based normals (mid, standing overheads and low attacks) and special 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, and the animation is quite obvious. Seth is in an counter hit state during the counter, and has poor recovery if whiffed.
Seth tosses the opponent towards the corner that causes a soft knockdown
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.
