3	3	10 [8]	4 (1 Stand)	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+6	+5	+2	Special/Super WC/CrC	Air UB
Short, fast kick. Okay to press after a roll, leads to decent damage and a knockdown by canceling into truck. Data in brackets is recovery on crouch cancel.

5B

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
4	4	13	10 (4 Stand)	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+3	+1	-7	Special/Super	Air UB
Stupid quick and has a great hitbox. Good at stopping reckless approaches and as a poke in neutral, very solid button all around. Finds occasional use as an antiair.

5C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
15	3	31	16 (5 Stand)	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
Launch (Knockdown after 2 hits)	-17	-20	Special/Super	Air UB Wallbounce
Slow, winding heel kick. Very slow to come out and recover, and the launch isn't too useful on a raw hit. Has an admittedly nice hitbox, but its speed prevents it from being an effective tool, relegating it to a niche antiair and pressure option. The forward movement on startup allows for kara cancels, which can be used to give Truck extra range.

2A

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
3	2	9	3 (6 Stand)	Low
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+2	0	-3	Special/Super	Air UB
Quick low, doesn't have much range. Fast startup can let you mash out of some things, but the long recovery makes that risky. Doesn't lead to much, but you can try going into truck if you're sure it'll land. Chaka, Khan, BPol and SDio can use their counter against 2A but Rubber Soul and Old Joseph can't.

2B

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
4	4	17	8 (4 Stand)	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-1	-3	-11	Block (Frame 1 only) Special/Super	Air UB
The Brick. You'll be using this a lot - it's a fantastic poke and is great at stopping dashes thanks to its fast startup and great hitbox. The recovery isn't great, so try not to whiff this.

2C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
11	18	10	9 (5 Stand)	Low
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
Knockdown	-10	-24	Special/Super (Before frame 9)	Air UB
Lowers your hurtbox instantly and moves you forward about half a screen. The knockdown on hit can lead into a variety of strong setups, so the reward is nothing to scoff at. However, keep the mediocre frame data and the fact that it isn't cancelable in mind before you press this as you can be punished hard if the opponent sees this move coming. Overall, a pretty good move that you should still be cautious about using.

j.A

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
4	4	Until landing	4 (3 Stand)	High
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	-	-	Special/Super	-
Decent air to air due to alright hitbox and fast startup. Reliable instant overhead on most of the cast, which you can convert off of with j.236AA for damage and a reset back to neutral.

j.B

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
4	4	Until landing	4 (3 Stand)	High
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties

6	4	Until landing	9 (5 Stand)	High
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	-	-	Special/Super	-
Your main jump in, but works well as an air to air if you need the extra range. Good button to press while doing backward hops to keep the opponent away.

Dashing Normals

d.5A

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
2	3	10	-	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+3	+1	-2	Special/Super	Air UB
Pretty much 5A but with momentum. Can tag opponents unexpectedly, combo into truck to make the most out of the hit. Occasionally used to reestablish pressure against passive opponents.

d.5B

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
8	5	14	-	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+2	0	-8	Special/Super	Air UB
Dashing version of 5B. It's much slower than the standing version and only does half the damage. Not very useful, avoid it if you can, but there are times where you need a slower 5B on the move.

d.5C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
10	3	33	-	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
Launch (Knockdown after 5 hits)	-19	-32	Special/Super	Air UB
Looks like 5C, but much faster. Can be used as a niche antiair out of a run, but where it really shines is as a knockdown tool in your setups. If comboed into after 5 hits, d.5C knocks down, and because it's cancelable unlike 2C you have a lot more time to set up. Other than that, the launch doesn't offer much.

d.2A

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
3	2	9	-	Low
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
0	-2	-5	Special/Super	Air UB
Dashing 2A. The hitbox doesn't follow you as you move, so running back extends and running forward decreases its range. Has some utility as a surprise low and can lead to truck, but not much else can be said about this move.

d.2B

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
7	4	13	-	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+3	+1	-7	Special/Super	Air UB
A slower, dashing 2B with less recovery. Good for covering far off space whether you're dashing forwards or backwards. Can help to reset pressure with good conditioning and effective spacing.

d.2C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
16	24	13	-	Low
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
Knockdown	-18	-31	-	Low
A slower, more damaging 2C. Very little reason to use this move.

Command Normals

6C/4C (Close)

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
1	-	Total 70	-	Throw
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
Launch (-19 on earliest tech)	-	-	-	Grab
Hol grabs the opponent by the nose and shoots them in the face. Punishable on hit by everyone except Rubber Soul and Young Joseph. Be extra careful when trying to input 4C as to not accidentally throw. Can be a surprise round ender if you're sure it'll kill. A genuinely strong tool against Rubber Soul, since it gives you enough frame advantage to set up a projectile.

4A

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
13	4	25	-	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-16	-18	-21	Special/Super	Air UB
Smoke. Whiffs on all Stand OFF crouchers and a few in Stand ON. Slow startup and weird hitbox makes it tough to use as a poke or antiair. However, canceling the move 5 frames after it starts will cancel it as normal, but the smoke won't disappear. This lets you use it as an extra hitbox to protect you during the startup of your specials and supers, and is also your only reliable means of combos into 5S. Not used often, if at all.

4B

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
6	3	23	-	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-4	-6	-17	Special/Super	Air UB
Fantastic antiair with a great combination of speed, hitbox and reward. Can reliably beat most jumps, but be careful since it might still lose against some exceptionally strong air normals such as Polnareff's Stand ON air buttons. Cancel into 623C on hit for extra damage and a nice techchase opportunity. Very briefly lifts your hurtbox off the ground, but this rarely matters.

4C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
11	4 frames per shot, 5 frame gap between shots	15	-	Low
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-7	-5	-2	Special/Super	-
While slow to come out, this move is an exceptional pressure tool. You can vary the amount of shots on block before canceling to keep your opponent guessing. Due to being a projectile, it ignores pushblock. Canceling this move into 5S with the right timing will leave a very small gap between these two moves. Similar to 4A, the move can be cancelled early in its startup while still having the hitbox come out when it reaches its active window. Cancel the move after 3 frames and the first hitbox will still come out, after 11 frames and the second hitbox will still come out and after 20 frame for the last hitbox to still come out. Be careful about the input overlap with throw, since an accidental throw can get you killed.

Hoingo’s main appeal as a character. A quick, 10-hit projectile that can have its movement preprogrammed. Your best projectile, and one of the best in the game. It's deceptively safe to throw out (but idk tho), and it can be a real nuisance for the opponent once it is out. You can use a variety of patterns to restrict your opponent's movement, try to hit the opponent from behind to cross them up, use it as a potent techchase tool and a risky, but rewarding pressure rebuy. In addition, it can sometimes save you from tough situations since the projectile doesn't disappear if you block a move. As strong as it is, exercise caution when using it. Using this move predictably can end badly for Hoingo, since the risk of getting blown up by moves like Stand ON Star Breaker, Tandem, or fast normals far outweighs the potential reward that successfully getting S-Bullet out on the field can give. You can start inputting directions after 6 frames of startup. Then you have a 15 frame window to input up to 8 directions. You can't input twice the same direction in a row, the only way to delay a direction is to input more directions before, waiting doesn't work. If you're on keyboard/hitbox and revision 990913, pressing 8 and 2 simultaneously during the startup will have the bullet stop in place with glitchy sprites for some demented reason in FBA.

Hol Horse starts running. Running isn't unique to Hoingo, but it's so important to him that it deserves its own section. You'll be doing this a lot: running back and forth to keep your opponent guessing, running away for some breathing room to set up, as a defensive option, and simply to just reposition. As important as an option as this is, you should remember how much space there is behind you: running away isn't always possible, so you should try not to overuse this.

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
10	3	19	-	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
Launch	-10	-18	-	Air UB
Hol performs a fast version of his 5C, launching the opponent away. Has a shorter, but taller hitbox that lets it reliably hit crouchers. Be careful with using this GC: if it's properly baited, you'll do a 623x, which is insanely punishable. Solid, if a bit risky.

Gunshot, your most basic projectile. A and B have identical frame data, but B's bullet moves slightly faster. C version is a low, and Hoingo is crouched while shooting. Despite being basic, this is a very important tool for Hoingo. Unlike your other projectiles, its fast startup allows it to be a safe cancel option off of your normals. Learning to mix between cancelling into this and your slower projectiles is vital to conditioning your opponent to sit still and maintaining pressure. Other than this, this move is excellent at stopping dashes and punishing reckless movement. Baiting your opponent to press a button while right outside their range and shooting them for it is a great way to deal damage here and there. Be wary of its long recovery, as some opponents might roll through your bullet and punish. In addition, this move extends your hurtbox significantly, so look out for that.

Glass Shower
623A/B/C (Air OK)

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
9 (A) 11 (B/C) 5 (Air)	Until hits ceiling (Bullet) Until hits groud (Glass)	32 Total (A) 33 Total (B/C) Until Landing+1 (Air)	-	Mid (Bullet) High (Glass)
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	-	-	-	-
Fires an upwards shot, which creates a shower of falling glass upon hitting the ceiling. A version fires straight up, B fires just in front of Hoingo, C fires around half a screen away. A core tool in your setups, and a good supplement to your zoning and keepaway. While it can be used as a solid antiair and techchase tool, it really starts to shine when used in combination with your other projectiles, since the recovery allows Hoingo to move shortly after the glass spawns. The shards hit high, making it a key part of your strongest setups. While the A version is a niche techchase and antiair option at best, the B and C versions are really good ways to encourage your opponent to move in certain ways. The B version is the one you'll be using most in setups and when punishing moves like DIO's teleports. In addition, it's a good way to make your opponent think twice before approaching you. The C version is a good way to cover a large part of the screen provided you get the move out safely, and the glass falls at the perfect spot to setup unblockables against roll-happy opponents and ones knocked down by Truck. The air version of the move behaves similarly to the grounded versions, but there's no variations depending on what button is pressed: the bullet always comes out at a 45° angle, meaning that generally the glass will spawn further the closer you are to the ground. You can use it as an additional zoning tool in your arsenal, and you can even use a TK'd Air Glass as an alternative to C Glass, since it'll follow a similar trajectory while also being somewhat safer due to Hoingo being airborne. Other than that, the fact that it eats your momentum is a nice way to mess with your landing timing to mess with your opponent while also putting a projectile on the screen. Just be careful not to overuse this, as wary opponents will be able to punish this hard. The glass shards do a lot of chip and Stand Gauge damage, build lots of meter, and have a notoriously weird preblock activation range, causing opponents to get stuck while trying to walk while the glass is out.

A+B shoots while standing, B+C shoots while crouching. For those using the 3x Attack macro, you'll get the crouching version unless you negative edge, which will give you the standing version. The ground version generally doesn't see much active use, but it's amazing at punishing dumb stuff from a distance for a chunk of damage. Especially useful for beating out raw Tandems. Not very consistent with its launch: it might knock down early, cause a launch, keep your opponent standing, or even get you punished on hit against some Stand ON characters. Try not to use it without a plan. The air version is very strong tool that's also great for mixups. Due to the move being airborne and the massive area the bullets cover, it's a lot harder to completely avoid, much less punish. It also comes out fast enough to combo out of your j.A/j.B, which nets you nice damage off an IOH while also being decently safe even if blocked. Can be used as a way to force a reset into neutral against certain opponents, but make sure they'll at least block the bullets or you might be eating a fat punish.

Pipe Maze

7	45	26	-	Mid (Pipe) Unblockable (Bullets)
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	-	-	-	Air UB (Pipe) Unblockable (Bullets)
A pipe magically appears from the ground and Hol Horse shoots 7 bullets inside of it. Depending which combination of buttons was pressed while performing this super, the side from which they will come out will change. The pipe itself has a long air-unblockable hitbox which causes a Stand Crash but does no damage on its own. The bullets that fire from the pipe are all unblockable and build meter. It takes about 5 seconds for them to start firing from one of the ends, during that period Hol can freely walk around and perform any attack and special/super, with the exception of another Pipe Maze super. If Hol is hit before the bullets fire out from one of the sides of the pipe, the super will be canceled, which makes this super a big risk at times. Each version produces a different series of ricochet effects just before the bullets release. The super itself does not deal high damage, but the player can combo during/after it for some bonus, unscaled damage. The best option is to follow it up with his Rapid Fire super. Similarly to 236AA, when buffered you will get the BC pattern even if you did not input it. This move can be used as a gimmicky reversal as the first hit can beat out a good chunk of moves with its long active frames and disjoint. A+B version - bullets come from the left end 254 frames after the end of the recovery.(Red) B+C version - bullets come from the right end 226 frames after the end of the recovery. (Blue) A+C version - bullets come from the top end 265 frames after the end of the recovery. (Green)

-	-	-	-	Fusion Grab
Once upon a time, there was a boy that could predict the future, so he told his friend to stick up his fingers in his nemesis' nose in order to defeat him. After doing so, the nemesis was hit by a truck. Truck. Powerful command grab with a twist: not only can it be comboed into, but it can even catch people out of blockstun! Your primary combo ender from most ground hits, since it lets you net respectable damage and a knockdown from most close range hits. The number of hits, damage and frame advantage from hitting this varies WILDLY depending on factors like combo scaling, opponent hurtboxes and screen positioning. You can occasionally try to cancel blocked normals into this to see if your opponent's asleep at the wheel, but this generally stops working after it hits once or twice. This is because cancels into Truck on block lose to early pushblocks, leaving you insanely punishable. It's a better idea to try to catch them while they're blocking one of your high blockstun projectiles, since pushblocking them won't push you away, putting them in a really awkward do-or-die situation. Really strong tool, potentially the best command grab in the game, but keep the associated risks in mind.
