Wyde
[11] Champion
I did briefly check if this was already discussed in this subforum and failed to find anything, but it turns out this has been mentioned already in a thread, I apologise in advance and welcome redirection for my findings.
Quite a long time ago, I had the opportunity to discuss some Ezio tech, and was told (I forget who by =[) that after breaking guard with 44B, it seemed it was possible to go into 66A+B, and thus follow that up with 66BB or 66BB BE for optimal damage. Testing it on and off, it occurred to me that this post-GB combo may be character specific, but it was only today that I tested this comprehensively. I found that there are indeed some that this will always hit and some it will always miss, but I also found that it worked against some characters when 44B broke guard at max or near-max range as well. So with no further delay, here are the character specifics I found.
Any range
Aeon
Algol
Astaroth
Dampierre
Ivy
Raphael
Tira
Z.W.E.I.
Max/near-max range
Ezio
Leixia
Nightmare
Patrokos
Pyrrha
Pyrrha Ω
Voldo
N/A
α Patroklos
Cervantes
Hilde
Maxi
Mitsurugi
Natsu
Siegfried
Viola
Xiba
Yoshimitsu
