Isn't Hilde's 2A+B i16 and it hits 34 damage I think (their frame data is out of date I believe, it got buffed damage wise in an early patch and I don't think they changed that in the wiki).
The problem being that you are almost always out of range for 2A+B, usually relegating you to 66K or 66B for moves until -21. Hilde is probably one of the worst straight up block punishers in the game.
At -18 with Asta almost every Asta player will go for a throw mix-up, or 66K into another Throw/66K mix-up.
Throw isn't a punish, and 66K into 66K/throw mix-up means everyone is going to duck because fuck standing up for Astaroth.
Also can I point out Tira's i18 punishment is good, 47 in Jolly with potential for a 666B added if you get the stance transition and gloomy gets about 90 meterless damage (which is fucking annoying).
That it is.
The force block is ok, but sometimes you want damage to their health not their guard meter but you don't always have meter to burn. I hate when to win the round I need to land about 50 damage, I land a normal hit 3B punish and I only get 39 damage and then have to run wtf mix-ups to get a little foot in poke to win. Personally if both kicks comboed in NH launch I would be perfectly fine with that, it would be 50 NH damage of a meterless launcher.
The force block is excellent. If you want damage only, play a Greek or manage your meter better. I don't understand how none of you see how good of an opportunity a free blocked SCH B is. You are investing towards guard pressure and retarded damage later in the match, which is something you should always be doing with Siegfried because of his insane post break damage and ability to pressure.
