Yes but if you're worried that making flipped versions of characters will mean too much work we can lessen the sprites dramatically with motion blurs. That way having a character facing backwards or forwards will have less sprites to be made in their facing.
You take a little work off one thing (animation) so you can add more effort in another (accuracy). Basically.
For example: without motion blurs one characters complete actions could have a lot of sprites just facing forward. Now if we decided on making an opposite direction that would double that large number!
But if we add motion blurs we'd lessen the forward facing poses. Thus if we made a back facing poses with them we'd have a lot less sprites to make.
That was my original point.
