The list can be found on John's site. I'm not sure if the list is exhaustive. Note that since there are H/Battle and V101 in BB, there are more weapon/animation that can be used to drop down.
I forgot CTRL+F Exists:
Some players might be familiar with the male 'Katana drop' in Seabed. Getting hit by enemies often gets the job done, but sometimes you want to drop on your own. Tests revealed that the Katana/Harisen/Hammer is not the only weapon type capable of dropping the character down the platform. Five more instances have been added so the complete list looks like this so far:
Male Katana NNH (doesn't need any /Battle),
Male Claw NN / NH (needs at least Devil/Battle, much easier with Heavenly/Battle),
Female Fist/unarmed NH (needs at least General/Battle, much easier with God/Battle),
HUcaseal Fist/unarmed NNH (needs at least God/Battle afaik),
Female Sword H (needs at least God/Battle afaik),
HUcaseal Dagger H (needs at least God/Battle afaik),
Female Rod NNH (needs at least Devil/Battle, much easier with God/Battle),
RAmarl/HUcaseal Claw NNH (needs at least General/Battle, easier with God/Battle),
FOmar Wand NH (doesn't need any /Battle).
I'm using the fastest attacks here. The final attack will trigger the drop. The downside to this is that some rely heavily on increased attack speed and very exact positioning. It is much, much easier to perform the trick with God/Battle or Heavenly/Battle speed. It is possible that you can even go down to General/Battle speed for some of these and still drop down, but that would simply take an eternity. It is already extremely difficult to drop using the believed minimum requirements for each weapon type. In Time Attack you want to drop down within one combo. The Katana, once positioned correctly, will always work first try and doesn't need a Battle unit. FOmarl is a disappointment as none of her unique animations seem to bring anything to the table. Perhaps BB's increased attack speed can reveal more. So far male Saber NN and NNH as well as male Sword NNH can drop down the ledge using H/Battle speed. There are many more after conducting a few tests using H/Battle speed, e.g. female Swords and HUcl Twin drop using H, even female Katana proved to be able to drop using H.
While the classic drop spot supports all of the scenarios mentioned above, the drop-down spot to the left before the ramp is not useable by some. It is possible that there are certain limitations to character height as well. I used fairly short characters for these tests.
