Break Hold Assessment

[Darth Lotonic X]

I tested everyone's break holds minus Phase 4. They're all +5 and have varying distances. I've divided them into groups. If a character isn't listed it means they are too far away for anything useful and effectively neutral.

Actually useful Break Holds:
Hitomi
Lisa

"Good" Break Holds:
Ayane
Nyotengu

Less Terrible Break Holds:
Zack
Diego
Jann Lee
Honoka
Hayate
Leifang
Brad Wong
Eliot
Hayabusa

Less terrible means that they have at least one attack that is i20 of less can close the distance. "Good" means that one of those attacks is tracking.

Lisa and Hitomi are special cases. Hitomi has a million long range tracking moves. Lisa's BH puts them right next to her for some reason.

It's worth noting that if you BH when your back is to a wall that the distance part is no longer a factor.

Discuss?

IMO, distances should be made the same (and frame advantage adjusted) so that BH simply resets to neutral.
