E. Honda

Honda is a bit of an oddball in this game -many players prefer the new version of him since his new throw move is very good, but others would rather play as the old version due to him having better normal punch and kick moves.

Special moves

100 HAND SLAP
(Press any punch button rapidly)

Honda rapidly slaps at the opponent. You can no longer move Honda around as he does this move and he'll only do a few slaps before he stops. Depending on which punch button you are pressing, Honda will usually move forward when he does this move (excluding the weakest punch button).


SUMO HEADBUTT
(B (charge) F+P)

Honda flies forward and smashes straight into the opponent.


SUMO SMASH
(D (charge) U+K)

This move involves Honda leaping up and then crashing down onto the opponent.


OICHO THROW
(HCB+P)

You must be close to the opponent for this move to work. Honda grabs his opponent and throws them to the floor, and then he leaps up and slams down onto them.


SUPER COMBO: ONI SMASH
(B (charge) F, B, F+P)

Honda will do 2 sumo headbutt moves in a row. Sadly, this is one of the worst supers in the game, mainly because of how darn easy to stop it is.


Throws

STRONG PUNCH

Honda tosses his opponent.


FIERCE PUNCH

Honda crushes his opponent repeatedly, keep mashing the attack buttons for more hits.


ROUNDHOUSE KICK

Honda will repeatedly smash his knee into his opponent's face, keep mashing the attack buttons for more hits.


Changes

STANDING FIERCE PUNCH

In the previous games, this was Honda's crouching fierce. It is now his standing fierce and it no longer knocks down the opponent.


STANDING SHORT & FORWARD KICKS

In previous games these were Honda's crouching kicks, but no more.


NEUTRAL STANDING ROUNDHOUSE KICK

Previously this kick was only done when Honda was close to his opponent, but not it is his normal roundhouse. It can hit the opponent twice, you can do it when not moving. To get the old roundhouse kick, you need to be holding back or forward before pressing the button.


CROUCHING FIERCE PUNCH

This is a new move where Honda does two quick strikes.


CROUCHING SHORT & FORWARD KICKS

As noted above, Honda has new animations for these moves.


100 HAND SLAP CHANGES

You can no longer constantly do this move when you start it -previously if you just sat there and mashed a punch button Honda would keep doing the slaps, but in this game he'll do a few strikes, pause, then start striking again if you mash. You can no longer move Honda left or right by holding a direction either -the jab version of the move has Honda completely immobile, whilst the other punches will have him dash forward whilst striking.
