Okay never mind. I finally got a chance to sit down with the game and I figured out what's causing it.
Basically I was holding 3 after the J6DB, so in the corner, Kagura will land on the other side of the opponent (due to you holding 3 or 1 depending on what side of the stage you're on) and cross back to the same side.
Don't think it's necessary to post video but will still post if you like
