After looking at my original version of this, I decided it needs a bit of an update.
Altair92 on thehiddenblade.com found an exploit that allows fleeing targets to run as for as you want them to without failing the mission. Whats more, he also found a way to freeze them wherever you want them to be.

In this particular mission though I found if you let the target run more than 50 meters away from you, he respawns in that same spot. I also want to note when he respawns at that spot, its a different noble character model
The second clip shows me using the exploit to freeze him near a haystack for a cooler haystack assassination.
The 3rd clip was just me toying around with an idea to use heavy weapons from afar, might try experiment more with this stunt
Good Job! I really enjoyed the last one
Thanks, you could try it on bigger ladders. I tried to run off the roof just holding R1, hoping he wouldnt drop it, but he just stops and hangs over the edge
Is there anyway to run off a rooftop without holding X? OR does he always regain his balance and lower himself down, if you press X at anytime while holding a heavy weapon he drops it. It might not look smooth but you could jump from a roof and if you time it perfectly pick up the weapon and attack them instantly, doubt he will do it fast enough
Finally, any other contracts where the target respawns? I think it looks awesome how he just walks right into you

Don't hold X. Just tap it once as you run toward the edge. Ezio will jump (early) and not drop the heavy weapon.
Ah sweet thanks, I can set up more interesting stunts now. I also want to note if he respawns to the spot as shown in the first clip, its a different character model. Are there any other missions that have characters that do this?

Yes. Zero Tolerance contract. I'm guessing if it's a character model of a citizen and not a unique design.
alright might play around with that
Edit: How do you get his character model to refresh during the mission? In day at the market once he runs 50 meters he respawns, but its a different model. Can you do this in zero tolerance, or did you mean simply restart the mission?
You probably have to restart the mission. You can try getting really far from him and coming back. He doesn't run away from you, he just chases the other character in the contract.
