E. Honda

In a nutshell

E. Honda had his damage massively buffed in Omega, so a few stray hits can give him a huge life lead in a matter of seconds. His headbutts are great for chip damage against characters that can't reliably punish it, and his new Zuri Fugaku tackle gives him a more universally safe chip special. Like most Omega characters, Honda's frame data buffs give him more consistent combo routes, like an easily confirmable Target Combo from his Close 5MP. Hundred Hand Slap, on the other hand, is more limited in combos and pressure, but the easier execution requirement gives him some more simple, high damage routes.

Sumo Smash is much faster as an overhead, making Honda's offense more unpredictable. Combined with Orochi Slammer, the new 2-bar version of EX Oicho Throw, the sumo can overload the opponent's mental stack in a way that was previously impossible. Even with these new tools, his bread and butter is still passive turtling that forces the opponent to overextend. While Honda used to struggle a bit defensively, the removal of hard knockdowns combined with his new powerful EX Sumo Smash have made him a much more well-rounded character. While he still struggles against characters with strong neutral and projectiles, he requires far fewer openings to steal a round in his disadvantaged matchups, which has helped to propel him upward in the Omega SF4 tier list.

Ultra Setups:

  • Uses 4 bars, ultras are heavily scaled; combo into Super is usually stronger if possible
• Orochi Slammer (63214PP) 2nd hit xx FADC, U2
  • Same as above, but can combo into U2 without a crumple for less scaling
• EX Buttslam (high connect on the way up), juggle U1
  • Requires very early AA reaction

Useful Info

Reversals:

• EX Buttslam (, / [2]8+KK) - 5f, fully invuln, hits on both sides, somewhat hard to punish
• EX Headbutt (, / [4]6+PP) - slower but also invuln, -9 on block but higher pushback can make it safe on some characters
  • LP Headbutt - has upper body invuln, can beat many high/mid attacks
  • MP Headbutt - has lower body invuln, can beat low attacks
• Super (,/ [4]646+P) - MP version is the most useful due to its travel speed + invincibility; only -6 on block with some pushback
  • HP version invincibility runs out before active frames, LP version travels more slowly but has 1f faster startup
• Ultra 1 (,/ [4]646+PPP) - a little slow, but has enough invincibility to go through most attacks
• Ultra 2 ( / 63214,63214+PPP) - 1f throw, can be jumped post-freeze but will beat any grounded attack if the opponent commits

Anti-Airs:

• 2MP - surprisingly strong AA when used late
• cl.5HP - great upwards hitbox for close range jumps
• far.5HP - another good vertical hitbox for farther range jumps
• 5HK - inconsistent and likely to trade at some ranges
• LP Headbutt (, / [4]6+LP) - upper body invuln, very reliable if timed late
  • EX version also works well but it's usually worth saving the meter; can also do LP Headbutt xx Super
• EX Buttslam (, / [2]8+KK) - fast and invincible, hitting on both sides if you have down charge
  • early AA connect on the way up can lead to a followup juggle
• Zuri Fugaku (, / [4]6+K) - inconsistent, but lowers Honda's upper body hurtbox during startup
• Super / Ultra 1 - can AA like any other headbutt; LP Super is most consistent for AA
• Salt Toss ( / 236K) - impractical, but if used early it can give a free juggle state

Anti-Focus:

• Headbutt (, / [4]6+P) - all versions are fast and break armor
• Hundred Hand Slap (x4 /P~P~P~P) - can be cancelled into on reaction if a normal is absorbed (LP is fastest)
• Super / Ultra 1 - will break armor, and invincibility will blow through focus release
• Oicho Throw/Back Crusher ( or / 63214+P or K) - command throws beat armor; PP, KK, and LP command throws have the most range
• Ultra 2 - if in range and opponent is charging focus, their backdash won't be airborne quickly enough to escape the throw

Anti-Projectile:

• Ultra 1 (,/ [4]646+PPP) - most consistent option, high damage reaction punish
• Super (,/ [4]646+P) - same as U1, great projectile invuln
  • Meter is very valuable for Honda, so this should generally only be used to kill or initiate a comeback
• Buttslam (, / [2]8+K) - projectile invuln on startup, but not usually fast enough to use on reaction
  • Can be used to blow up fake fireball blockstrings (MK version is most consistent)
• EX Headbutt (, / [4]6+PP) - within about 1/2 screen, has enough invincibility to go through most projectiles
  • Faster projectiles are easier to pass through, making it reliable from slightly farther away

Juggles:

• TC2 (cl.5MP > HP)...
  • MP/EX Headbutt, EX Buttslam, Orochi Slammer, MP Headbutt xx Super
  • LP Super can also juggle, but no reason to do this without the MP Headbutt cancel
• EX Buttslam (high connect, on the way up)...
  • Ultra 1, MP/EX Headbutt, EX Buttslam, Orochi Slammer
• EX Hundred Hand Slap...
  • MP/EX Headbutt, EX Buttslam, Orochi Slammer - Corner only
  • xx Focus Attack juggle - Midscreen if starting from close range, otherwise Corner only
    • Expensive, but may be worthwhile if the Focus kills

Miscellaneous:

• Command Throw range comparison: PP > LP > KK > MP > HP > LK > MK > HK
• 2LP is Honda's max range cancellable normal, but inconsistent from far out (EX Hands is most reliable)
