Character Overview

A powerhouse who breaks zoning and dominates close-range exchanges with armor and command grabs.

Playstyle: Pressure Brawler
Execution: Medium

Honda bulldozes through projectiles, leverages armored specials, and enforces throw/strike conditioning once inside.

Key Strengths

  • Anti-Zoning: Armored Headbutt and large buttons beat projectiles.
  • Stamina: High health supports attrition play.
  • Corner Damage: Oicho Throw loops and frame traps.

Key Weaknesses

  • Mobility: Struggles to close distance safely.
  • Predictability: Linear approach patterns.
  • Punishable Armor: Multi-hit moves defeat armor options.

Counter-Strategy

Bait his Headbutt spacing and punish only when recovery is guaranteed. His defense breaks under repeated throw loops. Keep him knocked down and remove his charge by forcing him to block safe jumps and delayed meaties.
