Here are the six specials:

 

 

Blue:

 

Lunge = crouch + forward + attack

 

Backstab = back + attack

 

 

Yellow:

 

Yellow DFA = forward + jump + attack

 

Backslash = back + attack

 

 

Red:

 

Red DFA = forward + jump + attack

 

Backslash = back + attack

 

note: for a Red DFA in MP (1.04 patch) there is an extra step. You first have to do a normal swing in red (any direction) & wait until the swing is halfway or a little more than halfway done before you do the "forward + jump + attack" combo.

 

 

Chaining moves:

 

You can chain moves in all 3 stances with certain restrictions. In Yellow & Red there are limits to the total number of swings in a combo, & then there are also restrictions on the type of swing combos that can be done.

 

Blue = unlimited number of swings & unlimited number of the same kind in a row.

 

Yellow = up to 5 swings total & up to 3 of the same kind in a row.

 

Red = up to 3 swings total & up to 2 of the same kind in a row.

 

When mixing swings in a combo, you can differ the next swing by one direction (45 degrees) in either direction from the last swing, such as "forward + attack" followed by either "forward/left + attack" or "forward/right + attack".

 

Blue & Yellow stances also allow you to chain swings that are the direct opposite of each other, such as "left + attack" followed by "right + attack".

You forgot the amazingly difficult to do and totally not worth it Crouching Backslash. If you crouch on yellow or red, then hold back and hit fire, you do a slightly different backslash using two hands. It's not very practical, because it requires you to slow down to a crawl and put your back to your opponent, but it seems to do more damage than a regular backslash because it hits the head at the very end of the animation. If you can do it well, I recommend using it instead of the regular backslash.

 

-PS- It appears the Red Yellow Tricks thread was deleted.:(

LOL, yeah, those look cool but that's about it. Crouch is useful in a few other moves though. If you are crouching while alternating the side to side attacks in Blue or Yellow you can slice people up at their knees where it is harder for them to block. Some people refer to this as the Fan move.
