*Additional Notes
- 1A+B:B is a funky looking just frame move that has the ability to deflect projectiles (it is unsafe when blocked though, however does quite a bit of guard gauge damage)
- Using "Hard"/"Technical" commands generate more meter (whereas "Easy" commands use a bit of meter)
- Wings of Heaven can be entered off of 66K on hit (Doesn't work on block)
- B+K62B66B+K does pretty solid damage if you want a built-in combo follow-up
