I wish there was a way to make people block SSH BBB...

 

[hellbottom]

I started using ssh bbb in combos (still experimenting).
Like 22_88a w! 3b, 4b+k, ssh bbb. good dmg and meter gain.
I started using 66k BE a lot more, so trying to find more ways to gain meter.

So what guard burst moves should he be using into what for max damage?

 

[ChaosK]

So what guard burst moves should he be using into what for max damage?

His best option is his (B) for SBH B ~ 22_88 BB for 90 or more depending on how much meter you want to burn (110 for 1 bar or around 140 for 3 bars).
Another good option would be 66B/66A+B which is a little bit more practical. This one gives you a 3(B)~SCH B for 70 or more with SCH K BE shenanigans.
Or you could go with 3(B) for SCH B ~ CE for around 110.

Do note that SBH B following a guard crush from a SBH transition will usually not guarantee the 75% Meter Combo due to the position it leaves the opponent in post-launch (making the SCH K BE whiff).
iWS [ B ] and 22_88BB4 combos are your best options for maximum dmg (provided you have the meter) and the former is guaranteed after the vast majority of guard crushes.
Using 66K, B6, aA, 6K, B, and SCH B a lot is a great way to cause guard pressure and crushes without resorting to slow unsafe moves that serve no real purpose in Siegs gameplan otherwise. Experimenting with 44[ B ], 44A, 66B and 66A+B can be worth a try, though.
