@XZero Actually, no. Timing has nothing to do with it (tested it by myself). It only happens A LOT against Eliot and Marie Rose, though I didn't bother to check every single character.
I'm not surprised since this is not her only move that whiffs completely at point blank range, her 46P and BT 4P+K have this issue as well against certain characters (unless they fixed it) and her Hissatsu no Kamae K can whiff in stun with very specific setups against some characters if they try to hold.
I've never had this issue with either Leon or Honoka (or Bass for that matter). Looks more like a timing thing than anything. You aren't exactly hitting the command asap.
@Forlorn, that PL has been fixed.
@DB, I don't remember that CB issue with Leon, but I do know that he has that weird issue with his PL not always working, even if it connects, which is retarded. Unless that's been fixed now. I don't recall.
In DOA4, Bankotsubo had an issue similar to the one in this video with his heavily nerfed 8K, where the move seemed to have an incredibly small hitbox. Even with the nerfs that 8K had received in DOA4, it still should have been a decent option for a launch mixup in stun, but it wasn't because it would frequently whiff in stun, even at point blank range.
Despite me hardly using her normal CB (let alone twice in a row), this occurred a few times against Marie Rose players, so it happens with Eliot too. My guess is, it's probably due to their small hurtbox + Honoka's CB awful hitbox.
The issue of his CB wasn't super bad though. I think it mostly failed with specific setups and likely only happens roughly like 10% of the time where they'll just fall.
