Take it off - Armor breaking moves

Ryoka

[09] Warrior
Now, I didn't see any resource of said moves, so I figure I'll start this off. When you KO your opponent with a certain move, predetermined pieces of their clothing will break depending on the costume (or in the case of customs, what parts are used and are breakable). Unlike SCIV, breaking the opponent's armor has no functional effect and is merely cosmetic. Besides possibly lowering your opponent's morale a bit, you can also respond to stupidly done CaS with exaggerated penis parts or whatever with open disapproval by shattering it to a million pieces.

To break their armor, you need to KO the opponent with a move flagged to break armor. Every character has particular moves that will do this, but the catch is that you must make the killing blow with a move that will break armor. To further complicate matters, many moves that break armor will only do so with a certain hit within the move, and you must get the killing blow with that hit which may require them to have a certain amount of life remaining. Some moves also only armor break on CH or stun combo. Also, KOing with a Wall Hit using a move that armor breaks will still cause the armor break to happen, despite not KO'ing with the move itself. Secondly, a move that armor breaks that also has fall damage as part of the move (like Ivy's whip lay moves) will also armor break if the fall damage KOs the opponent.

Untested: KO'ing with a wall hit then "overkilling" the opponent with an armor breaking move to generate a death scream with that move will break armor post-KO.

A+B or [A+B]: This move does not break the opponent's armor but deserves special mention because this will armor break herself if she suicides with it.

Yes, I may get around to formatting with inputs in order when I'm focused enough to do it, but wanted to get all my current thoughts down first. In the meantime, contributing data (particularly for the characters I don't play) would be awesome!

I'll help for Alpha.

1B:B ~ 1B (it also has to be early; there's a late version that doesn't break)
44A+B
66A+B
ag:B (the non JF version will break only on CH. Both the initial hit and the ground hit break)
FC 3B BE (last hit only)
CE (there are 4 hits and I think 2 of those break but I'm not sure which)
Back throw

I think that's it (or at least those are the ones I'm aware of).
