Hold on, are we having step-killing discussion without mentioning 2A!? I mean, I know everybody's got one, and Cervantes doesn't even have a particularly good one, but it leaves him at +8 on hit! At -8 on block it is not unsafe! At i14 it is not slow as balls! And did I mention that it leaves you at +8 on hit? I did? Well it's worth re-mentioning because that pretty much the best frame-advantage Cervantes's offence can possibly give him. The only other moves that give him a +8 are Crouching A, Jumping A, and 6A. Sure, this one leaves you crouching, but get good at that hit-confirm and your 85+ damage pretty-much-safe-on-block WS B combo just went from i20 to an interrupting i12 :-]
Or you could use 3A+B, which is essentially the 4A+B of step-killers (sorry, I had to...)
