Then we can use them for Orochimaru too. Orochimaru knows Minato and his abilities so he would know about the Eight Trigrams seal, in fact he has ways to counter it like what he did to Naruto in the Forest of Death. Orochimaru knows about FTG and how it works, he calls himself a researcher of jutsu so saying he wouldn't know is just foolish.. this makes it a proper assumption. Therefor Orochimaru being who he is would have counters for FTG and Eight Trigrams Seal such as substituing a snake clone, or shadow clone, or mud clone. Orochimaru could use feints to land a deadly blow. He doesn't have to worry about a Kunai or a Rasengan hitting him because he would survive it easy and counter attack.
