I'm pretty sure somebody had some kind of list for this going, but I couldn't find it. So I hit up training mode.

Zwei, Sigfried, Hilde, Nightmare, Mitsurugi, Maxi, Yoshimitsu, Astaroth, and α.Patroklos.
SET 3B AAB (delay) 66B 66A+BB works on:
Cervantes
Where you input the 66 and hold for one step, then push B for the 66B to come out.
Some notes:
What I found with Cervantes is that if you input it all as soon as possible he can always left-tech it. However, if you delay the 66B by dashing into 66B after one step then it works always.
Anyone wanna come up with a cool/funny pneumonic device for remembering who it works on? Or maybe something like a picture with all their portraits.
I was able to randomly land a very delayed 66B into 66A+BB on Voldo and Algol but I was never able to do it consistently on them like I was with Cervantes, so I'm not sure if the timing is super rigid or if it was a training mode fluke. Also it doesn't work on Elysium or EdgeMaster from what I could tell but I didn't want to test them extensively (it didn't work on EdgeMaster in Maxi mode so I assumed it just doesn't).
Also apparently backturn hit 3B AAB 66B 66A+B works on everyone, because with their back turned the 66B causes them to fall face-down rather than face-up, which seems to give enough stun to connect 66A+BB. So basically this combo is guaranteed on anyone off a SET back-turn throw.
So yeah, the only female that gets hit by it is Hilde, and the males that do not get hit by it are (in thory): Patro., Ezio, Raph., Algol, Xiba, and Voldo (girly men!). I say "in theory" because I'm not entirely sure about Voldo. Oh and I have no idea about Dampierre. It might actually be easier to remember who it doesn't work on than who it does work on, eg. "It doesn't work on women cept Hilde, and it hits men except for the bishies" (or something). The damage depends on if they try to tech wrong and how many hits connect, IIRC it's 71 if one of the hits whiff because they tried to tech and 80 if they tech wrong and I forget what it is backturned (edit: it's 74 on no-tech, 74 on backturn when one hit whiffs, and 89 on backturn if all hits connect -- and 66B has a chance to clean hit) .
