If a Bison zigzags over you after the headstomp, won’t cs.HK go the wrong way?

50

I’ll have to test it in training some more, but it seems like even if he ends up behind you the cs.hk will still connect. if you do it too late, you might get the first hit (30 damage) instead of the full 125, but i’ve seen it do 100 too. I’ve gotten it to trade a couple of times, but i think I was doing the cs.hk late.

51

Honda’s EX Headbutt xx EXFA lvl 1 is a true blockstring.

You need to charge it a couple of frames for it to work as a frametrap and score a counterhit crumple.
Important stuff to know imo.

52

something I myself use almost 100% of the time is if I oicho my opponent and put myself in the corner I n.j. fierce and wiggle out, most cases if they dp or teleport out it autocorrects them back into the corner giving me corner control again and free punishes. If the opponent has caught onto this tactic best to tech as you land, if they do nothing I go with cr. short cr. j xx exhhs or w/e you prefer. It works a lot and I dont see a lot of Hondas using it >.>

53

The opponent has around 13+ frames to do anything and punish you. Usually it gets punished with a throw or a sweep, it’s why no one uses it.

54

you can tech the throws, and Ive never been swept out of it lol. 9/10 times they will dp or just wait and tech.

55

Yes, the throws can be teched, but there’s no way you can get 9/10 times away with it against average or competent players.
I mean, 13+ frames is a lot of time to punish you.

56

i saw mike ross do it a long time ago - its a trick to make DPs whiff. i have been blown up for it many times. if they delay wakeup at least you are only -2 now lol

it is pretty useful midscreen as a 1 time gimmick to scare thme out of DPing you

another one i learend from here is fwd throw dash dash nj fp float back, will beat almost all DPs. used it in a money match vs a dudley with like 50+ guys wathcing once one of the hypest moments of my sf career lol people went buck

57

^I’m not sure that midscreen oicho > NJ fierce will let you cross over midscreen. I usually get that setup off of cross up or anti air buttslams. It can be really ambiguous sometimes - I often catch people with cr. mk xx hands or an oicho afterwards.

But yea - that set up is good to use sometimes (see vid at the 7:08 mark) - I missed my hands, but that woulda been confirmed into cr. mk xx headbutt!!

58

Honda’s U1 needs 30frames travel time to hit an opponent who’s on the other side of the screen.

59

Vs fireball character: use focus to absorb the fireball and then cancel with front dash then cr. weak punch. If u use focus attack then back dash to cancel the fireball, sometimes ryu with do the second fireball, it is time to jump in with a combo. Jump in is very dangerous vs those character with fadc ultra.

60

Croach weak punch, straight jump hp and lp are the soul of honda, some honda do not have hhs still can use these 3 weapons to beat good players. those are the safest move for honda. This guy works for Sf4 AE, 2012 and usf4.
The full screen is 7 body distance, The starting screen is 5 body distance
when opponent get close, try not to jump, using focus front dash orchit throw for 3 body distance
closer than 3 body distance, I suggest to use croach weak punch and headbutt to keep charge

only stand weak punch on block then perform headbutt is safe

Use of downward hard kick

You can force your opponent to the wall or within coach weak punch position, croach weak punch hit the air and then downward hard kick, you can do it while opponent is croaching

Jump medium punch close mp cancel into down forward strong kick

Make use of croach medium kick to increase the damage

some characters eat Honda jump kick while they are croaching, u can use croach medium kick to increase the damage

For some characters which has excellent air to air

You have to train to have good defence
once they jump, back dash and then focus backdash
If you still in recovery, focus back dash, back dash

For ryu air hit your back tastu, focus dash front
usually u will not eat any hit and you will go to the other side

HHS to extended HHS

5 punch input before first 4 hits

HHS into ex HHS combo or HHS into HHS

5 punches between 4th hits to 7 hits
You can press 4 times hard kick and then press lpmphplk three times

Fierce hhs into Fierce hhs only use for combo with super

It is good to do for standing cammy for hhs into ex hhs combo

All ryu

croach weak punch strong hard kick
1 time strong headbutt in 1 match. Ryu croach or walk back and front is your chance
when ryu do focus or croach weak punch on hit, u can do headbutt
croach hard kick then jump hard kick
new ryu u can dash and then stand hard punch like bison block jump method, dont let him jump at your back u must beat ryu before he land in the ground
ex headbutt
c ryu, u can sumo splash

Time for ultra 1

  1. When they do fireball
    You can use stand weak punch, stand hard kick to bait
  2. When they knock you down and do a back jump
  3. When they jump in the corner, no need to think about this
  4. dhalisim, seth, bison invisible

Time for ultra 2

When they do close special, you should practice the stand block ultra 2, I really don’t know why most top Honda does not have this. It is for all kinds of block including close dive kick. Only dive kick to the back can catch for cammy. All ex dive for cammy can catch. Jagar kick, green hands, abel, guy flash kick and close larit, machine gun blow etc.
All kinds of safe jump.

Block on 1 then 321321 ppp
Block on 3 then 123123 ppp

Dive kick on head and go to another side

block on 1 then input 321321 ppp
block on 3 then input 123123 ppp
once step on your head, u need to input immediately

stand block and then ultra 2

Dive kick to the corner

You can use delay ex sumo splash

Ultra 2 combo

It must at close distance. The 5 hits cannot combo for far distance
croach weak punch > hhs (3 hits) > press level 1 focus
Total 5 hits, opponent will fall and you can do ultra 2
You can count 1 2 by heart to cancel hhs by press mp mk and count another 1 2 to release the level 1 focus attack
even in sf4, ae, 2012 version, it works

Counter attack

All the counter can add a ex headbutt. Always keep the charge and see and abnormal action.

Stand hard kick

vs ryu, Ken, oni, sakura, akuma, guoken, guide release ball is the time to do stand hard kick.
if ryu does not release ball, you dont start to kick him

Diagonal jump

5 characters distance use jump hp or mp. ie. The starting distance. It is good to keep all the time with this distance vs ryu
actually it is very good vs projectile characters
4 characters distance use jump hk or mp
3 characters distance use jump mk or mp
jump mp close can beat ryu close stand hk sid dhalism close hk to hit their head for the hit box.
jump mk is for ambiguous block front or back only. then croach lplk to prevent throw
jump hk is good vs tall characters such as seth and sagat.
Those characters know to use stand hard kick to beat you, you can use jump lp for 5 characters distances
Less than 3 characters distance are not encourage to jump, you can use croach weak to move back 1 distance or use normal only
2.5 characters, you can jump vs zangief, guide or dhalisim to beat their hitbox or their head.

vs ryu, there is a distance which can counter hit with shroyuken. That is a good jumping distance vs ryu when doing fireball release. You can use the starting 99 seconds distance and then walk back 1 character distance to count to jump

Jump front

When characters want to jump to your back
jump front hit box is the smallest
When opponent does a long recovery normal or dash forward

jump back prefer press hard kick or weak kick

Diagonal jump for shroyuken character

  1. Sagat, Ryu and evil Evil ryu are shroyuken are stright up, you can use far jump
  2. Ken, oni, seth shroyuken are diagonal up, you can use close jump
  3. Ryu walks front for 5 characters is the time for you to jump hard kick. walk front is hard to do shroyuken

Store air during diagonal jump

diagonal jump move back immediately

Dive kick for non wake up

Back dash and then strong hard punch
Jump back hard kick
Jump front
Far dive kick use medium sumo splash or weak headbutt

Dive kick or ibuki air flying weapons for wakeup

You can only focus front dash for yun dive kick to your back or block

Close dive kick jump to your back

Far dive kick hit your front

Jump front weak punch or weak kick

Croach hard kick

Hit nothing
It can bait the opponent jumps to you, u can do antiair when opponent jump to you

On block
You can jump or jesus chop, any headbutt

Striaght jump

It is for setting best distance which benefits for you to play normal using stright jump hp, u can use jesus chop after landing
4 to 5 characters distance or more than 5 characters distances
Prevent ryu hard kick or punch
straight jump hk can beat stand hk
usually, stright jump hp or lp is for opponents jump towards us only.

Within 4 character distances, honda can sit down block wait your opponent attack 1st and focus cancel into orchit throw or croach weak punch. For those ryu likes to use croach medium kick, you can stand lk or medium headbutt. Your stand hk cen only do in 2 scenario. 1. croach weak punch on block or hit 2. ryu starts to press button on the ground.
3. when characters walk towards you.
For those know to use focus attack, you can only use 1 or croach weak punch into ex hhs.

After knock down the character in the corner-
1313 ie. wphpwphp can do hhs immediately

Focus attack absorb hit

successful, u can use dash front into orchit throw
cannot absorb hit, just croach weak punch

Focus attack absorb fireball

more than 5 characters distance focus back dash
3 characters distance, Honda uses croach block
ryu croach hard kick distance is Ryu ex fireball position. No focus attack.
2 characters distance front dash croach weak punch
less than 2.5 Characters distances, try to press croach weak punch
2.5 characters distance can do weak headbutt

All stand hard punch counter can combo with ex headbutt

HHS combo

HHS connect to ex HHS then add a stand hard kick, opponent will dizzy.
fo ex hhs input method
123>23weak kick>23weak kick

This guide will not talk about safe jump or HHS combos. Increase damage for combo will uplift your Honda to another level.

Ex hhs into croach weak punch hhs is worth for you to push characters to the wall, once you push your character to the wall, you will have advantage such as vs Sagat and Fireball characters.

Vs Ken jump

When Ken is walking back, you can jump. other shroyuken character cannot jump

Vs Fei

When Fei is walking to the front, you can jump

Air jump

The distance that you jump in without hit by their anti air or able to block their special moves after landing and u are able to press your croach weak punch distance to attack. This need to practice more. as it can bait their meter or give them damage.
For eg. ryu stand hard kick, ryu cannot hit you and you dont need to press any button. Ryu is unable to shroyuken as his shroyuken is very stright go upward.
dhalisim close stand hard kick, rose stand hard punch.
For those sagat know how to move one step to shroyuken are not effective

For those straight up shroyuken such as ryu evil ryu and sagat, u can back dash in the corner to escape their damage

opponent Wakeup with early jump

Opponent with has chance to do stand punch, and you can use croach weak kick to start your attack after landing

Close jump to opponent back during opponent wakeup
It can bait your opponent to do shroyuken with a wrong direction(you can watch Terry vs Diago evil ryu movie)

Knock characters down in corner

lphplphp can release hhs
dont do it for sagat or shroyuken character

Bait ultra

Jump back
press stand hard kick for far distance
press croach weak punch for medium distance
Usually those punch or kick hit nothing
move 1414 or 3636 to store air, that is up down up down up down.

Counter hit plus additional headbutt

3:17 jesus chop counter into headbutt

Honda techniques

  1. 100 percent combos when opponent on hit

  2. seldom or no jump for shroyuken type characters especially in close distance croach weak punch distance

  3. Close distance with opponent use stright jump weak punch or jump back weak punch

  4. Far distance with opponent use jump hard punch

  5. use of croach weak punch and seldom use stand hard kick, if u miss it, you will lose a combo of blood for opponents jump in

  6. use of weak punch has enough time for you to do stright jump hard punch or other stuff. also it will not make your opponent out of your attack favorable area.

  7. let opponent to attack 1st and use croach weak punch to attack him

  8. when you jump in and opponent on block
    you can either sit down do nothing to wait for their mistakes or use croach weak punch to keep honda at close distance, dont use hard kick or hard punch to make your opponent away easily

  9. waste a lot of time to walk away and jump away, you will have high probability to win the match

  10. Try to play with your croach weak punch distance. No jump in this distance.

  11. press lplkmpmk and backdash, it can prevent frame trap and throw

  12. focus attack cancel orchit throw or stand weak punch croach weak.punch hhs or just croach weak punch 3 times then medium sumo splash

  13. After forcing opponents to corner, keep yourself in croach weak punch distance, ready to do ex sumo splash or st. jump punch. Trap your opponent into jail.

  14. know how to use different jump to beat different jump in attack and know how to trade
    for eg. when ryu jump medium kick, honda use what kinds of jump can get him more blood.
    Diagonal jump front hard kick can beat cammy dive kick
    Adon use jump weak kick, u can also use weak punch or kick and see the result, if u use hard punch or kick, adon weak kick will beat u.
    You can test it with your partner and remember it

  15. After orchit throw, honda goes to corner
    if the opponent does not know focus or front dash, u can do weak sumo splash to change positions, after that he jump, u jump
    if the opponent does not know, u can front dash immediately to push your opponent away without doing anything, I think no one like close to honda.

  16. For those opponents like to use focus attack to trap your normal, you can use croach weak punch ex hhs. it is because the start up frame is very fast for ex hhs, they will eat whole set of ex and u can push your opponent into the corner
    croach weak punch cancel into ex headbutt also work when Ryu is forcing you into wall and u have charge
    crouch weak punch cancel into ex sumo splash is also ok because the action is fast in close distance
    but croach weak punch into medium sumo splash has some risks

  17. vs non shoyuken type opponents jump in u can focus attack cancel and then do normal throw.

  18. When you vs players with strong normal throw and combine of weak punch.
    you can press lpmphplk 4 buttons to release throw. You will get 1 more frame for release throw. 1st 3 hits, u can croach block. the 4th hit, u can stand block

  19. For using normal buttons, u should let opponent start the punch 1st and you use croach weak punch to hit him back. If you vs character with good focus attack like evil ryu. Remember all your hits cannot touch his focus attack area, you can only touch his hands or legs only when they attack.

when characters are walking in to you, you can use stand hard kick. dont hit your opponent when opponent is standing (not moving)

  1. Opponents using corner jump weak kick, u can use jump back weak kick, croach weak kick weak punch into hhs or ex heabutt or normal throw.

  2. Opponents do not start the attack, honda just walk towards and backwards. Dont press anything

  3. Bait ultra. 13stand weak kick or hard kick(hit nothing) 13 lpmphp
    When ryu press croach medium kick
    or Hhs (hit nothing) to hit the air then ready to ultra vs fireball characters or bison physocrusher

  4. For those characters with very good normal to anti air such as cody stand lp, dhalisim stand hard kick, you can do an empty jump to his face. You need to calculate the distance accurately without hit by them. You can use jump weak kick, your hit box suddenly smaller and your opponent will press anti button earlier and u will have more chances to go to his front to hit them

  5. For some characters after honda jump in, they like to use back dash or claw will use rotation to the back, you can use straight jump hp

  6. Wakeup sumo splash is welcome to do as it is amour breaks.
    blocked sumo, you can use Straight jump hp or lp or back dash, ex headbutt, u can use orchit throw if the characters do not press weak punch

  7. Ken, ryu, akuma and evil ryu shroyuken in corner, u can use backdash to escape for last blood

  8. after blocking jump weak kick at the corner, I suggest to use jump weak kick to go out of corner immediately. It is to avoid block the position wrongly

  9. You can do headbutt when opponent is coaching, pressing medium/high kinds of punch or kick and jump in and falling down from air to ground

When ryu uses jump back hard kick, you have to delay your headbutt to hit him before go to ground

  1. Those opponents normal with long time recovery can use orchit throw to catch. for eg. akuma croach hard kick, rose stand hard kick

  2. orchit throw.
    when opponent falling down or jump to your back without hitting you.
    abel roll
    after blocking 3 times weak punch.
    jump mk to his back
    St jump hp and falling down
    Diagonal jump hit them and falling down

  3. normal throw
    when u use jump weak punch or jump medium kick
    mainly use for vs abel

  4. when you do croach weak punch hhs successfully, you can do ex headbutt or croach weak punch hhs, if your opponent knows that, they will not jump away, it is time to do dash forward medium orchit throw

  5. The good distances to jump When you select the characters, you can count 5 sf4 characters distances, it is around 5.5 level bar. It is a good distance to jump for jump medium punch

  6. When you vs fireball characters, you walk very close, if they do fireball move your stright jump hp to forward then orchit throw

  7. After croach medium punch, the medium punch does not require to hit anything. you can stand hp or hk. if you see they use stand hard punch likes oni, you can ex headbutt

  8. 5 characters in select characters or 5 super level bar distance is the best distance to jump. Medium punch is the 1st choice as opponents need to have recovery time

  9. usage of stand weak kick
    It can beat ryu croach medium kick and croach weak punch. You can focus dash in and then stand right kick then croach weak punch twice.

When some ken or akuma uses early jump to your back, u can use it to beat them

front air tastu(stand weak kick or medium kick)

  1. delay weak sumo splash, it is for opponent using dive kick and jump weak kick to your back to use. It will be killed by os

  2. stand weak punch can use for antiair dive kick, dhaslim jump back hard punch etc
    croach weak punch is the trap opponent not to jump
    front air tastu

  3. Stand medium punch is good if you can link with croach weak punch cancel into headbutt. r ex headbutt. Kuriso always use this.
    lorddvd likes to jump medium kick stand medium punch into forward downward hard kick. Play with claw to use when you hit him and use medium punch into hhs to chase his dash backward.

  4. Focus attack
    use for focus dash in 95 percent absorb fireball to option select
    Actually it is not good for beat normal because poor hit box.
    Dhalisim long hands (far to use) close for focus dash only
    Fei dash punch
    Ken and Abel step kick
    Oni stand hard punch and sumo splash punch

  5. ultra 2 can beat all safe jump

  6. Beat air tastu
    1st stand when you see ryu start air tastu, move to croach block position and then ex headbutt
    you must stand and then croach to ensure 100 percent hit them
    4164 or 6346 pp input to fo headbutt

  7. jump mk, stand mp, croach weak punch headbutt

  8. jump mk, stand mp,
    croach weak punch into hhs dash front into lp orchit throw

  9. jump mp, stand mp, weak punch into ex hhs
    case 1 ex hhs on hit, move 3636 to bait shroyuken. if opponent jumps, honda diagonal jumps hk immediately. ready for ex headbutt to beat shroyuken and move 3636 again.
    3636 looks like orchit throw.

  10. If ex hhs on block, ready to do ex sumo splash usually for straight jump or ex headbutt

  11. When opponent is dizzy, you can use jump medium kick stand medium punch cancel into
    hhs croach weak punch into headbutt

  12. For hhs distance, opponent jump, you can jump hk to the front

  13. For close distance stright jump, you can use stand close hp. If close hp counter double kill each other, you can use ex headbutt immediately for 2 hits. If close hp is on hit, you cannot add one more hit
    when you press close hp, remember to press hp twice immediately, because sometimes it cannot release

@akimoehonda I just saw this HUGE GUIDE now!! OH MY GOD MAN thank you so much for posting this!!! I wish I had known about this sooner!!!

I didn’t know if anyone else was still playing Honda. I have still been competing and working very hard playing in tournaments in Canada. Are you still playing a lot in Japan??? I have a few new techs I have been working on. Safe jump vs. 4fr DP. makes DP whiff on Quick Rise, safe jump on Delayed Rise:

example in match: honda post super tech in action - YouTube

I have been always looking for people to talk about honda with at high level so if anyone sees this and is still playing SF4 Honda I havea discord going here with lots of great tech (most comes from this forum but its well organized)
:

Hi Mike, does your super combo only works in corner?
Hhs into strong super, May I know the sumo splash is strong or medium?
Let me finish the guide 1st. Once I reply you, I cannot amend the content.

Why some hondas does not have hhs still can win many matches, because they have good normal

All the normal give you chance to beat. You have to study the hit box and recovering time. Using sumo splash, headbutt or normal to fight back. It is high level Honda must have.

Combos and setup are standard, you can learn from other thread about it.

My guide does not contain so much combo and safe jump. Please go to another threads to learn those combos. A strong Honda must has good combo. My guide can be used for those Honda on how to better using the normal, jump, defence and strategy. If you vs some trouble characters and does not know how to play, it can give you some ideas. It suits for sf4, sf4 super, sf4 ae, 2012, usf4.

wakeup Honda can consider to use weak sumo splash for some case

close stand hp>far stand mk>close stand mk

Cammy

Her corner dive kick hit your back, you can use stand guard punch even ex dive kick
You can use any diagonal jump attack to beat cammy dive kick due to her poor hit box.
Cammy jump mk hit your back, you can use stand hp
In the distance that you can touch him using focus attack, release the focus attack and push towards to her.
Stright jump lp can beat her croach hard kick

If she uses dive kick, focus and then release push to her. Back dash is also a good way. If you are in the corner, u can dash front or use ex headbutt

cammy close distance jump, u can use straight jump lp

For those dive kick goes to your back, you can try to press the quickest stand attack to hit her. For me I will use stand weak kick

Dhalisim

Diagonal jump weak punch is the get in key for this match. You must jump in.
When you get close and see him jump, dont immediately press button. He will invisible to other side close to you. It is time to stright jump hp or stand hp.

Once you get close the match is ended.

For dhalism, you should use some moves to get close, for me, I will use weak headbutt, use blood to get distance.
After getting in, try to use jump in set play to kill him.
or strong sumo splash.
At the focus attack distance which can release in front of him and can touch him after release, feel free to do it
If dhalisim jump back, try to use focus attack dash front to get close
I always think that even without release of fire, you can still jump, because if your timing is wrong during jumping of fire, you will have chance to eat his normal and fire which cause double damage of blood.

Ryu

His diagonal jump weak kick, u can use stand medium kick for far distance and close stand mk or hp for medium close positions. If it is very close, I suggest you to use weak sumo splash, but it has chances to eat his shroyuken. You can also use straight jump weak kick or straight jump weak punch.

For ryu jump back weak kick, feel free to use stand hard punch

For those Ryu likes to dash or move front, you can use croach weak punch and stand hard punch. It is very good to uses to vs evil ryu, as evil ryu moves forward really fast, it can hit him easily

For ryu jumps up and then use air tastu in far distance, you can use stand hard kick when he moves down to a horizontal position to you then press stand hard kick

If ryu blocks your diagonal jump medium punch, you can dash back and then croach weak punch hhs
Be patient dont diagonal jump at least 2 fireball
and wait for opponent come

When ryu stand up, move front or dash it is time to move your stright jump punch to front

For those ryu knows to use stand hard kick, never jump in front of him for his hard kick distance. once get into that distance, u can use croach weak punch only.

For those ryu knows to use stand hard punch, you need to pull far from him.

In stand weak punch distance, u can use dash in normal throw. Few Honda do it but it works. u can stand weak punch twice and then dash in to throw

Jump hard punch then when u want to easy to link up with stand hard punch, u dont need to move the joy stick to press the hard punch.

When you stright jump and falling to ground, some Ryu Jump towards you, you can back dash immediately and then croach weak punch hhs

Use straight jump hp to get close and then walk close to him, the purpose is to force him to the wall and you will get chance to jump in and use standing normal.

When ryu is standing and walk towards, stright jump hp works.

When you diagonal jump to the characters croaching, you can link up with croach hard kick

jump mk can link with croach mk if the opponent is croaching

Dudley

stand downward punch during your wake up, you can use back dash to escape for it. The best move is jump back and the 2nd best move is stright jump.

Dudley stright punch, you can use stand mk and croach hp or ultra 1

Dudley jumps back hard punch, you can use jump mp and

Diagonal jump hard punch and hard kick is good to vs Dudley
Croach weak punch attack stand medium kick , you can use ex headbutt if Dudley stright punch
weak punch st. hard kick

Once you finish your normal or combo, they really like to do stand punch, it is your time to do ex sumo splash or medium kick

El furte

Honda jump front and then jump back with hard kick immediately
Stand block his sit down land attack, you can throw him

Ibuki

Jump to your back, u can use stand hp
Her flying object, you can jump in to beat her. Beat her upper body
Choose those hit high hitbox to beat

Rose

Stand hard kick suggest you to use croach hard punch

Rufus

His croach hard punch, you can use stand hard punch
Air rotating kick, you can ready to press focus attack to hit him
Ballet rotating can use jesus chop
Air rotation can use focus attack to hit is cut down and hit low.

You can use sumo splash for snake stride
His jump hard kick is super good hit box better not to jump for very close distance

Sagat

He uses stand mk, you can only use stand hard punch or ex sumo splash or headbutt

Vega

Stand lp, stand hp

Viper armpit

Stand lp stand mk close stand hp

All Yun Yang

All their dive can use stand hard punch or normal to beat.
All jump front can beat him

All Yun dash punch can use forward normal such as cr. weak punchltra 2

During wakeup, some opponents will jump in attack. At this moment, you can jump too. For those opponents who dont have safe jump options selects, you can jump to eat his jumping hit and then do ultra 2

When you stright jump and opponent also jump and hit nothing, Time for ultra 2, you should judge the distance by yourself when both characters falling down

Another option is when opponent jumping, you jump front mp, if you lose in the jumping, you can also use ultra 2.

The above 2 cases are to eat his hit in the air not in the ground and they are unable to do a combo.

Normal to beat dive kick

For close jump
Stand weak punch go to hit close dive kick
Stand medium kick

For medium close jump
Far stand mk

Beat strong opponents normal

Diagonal jump weak punch in certain angle
Jump weak kick at very close distance

For Far jump, easy to win use Diagonal jump weak punch
For close jump use diagonal jump lk

You must do those jump only during the opponent recovery such as doing fireball.

Beat fast close jump during wakeup

Stright jump weak punch or weak kick

After you force people to the wall and opponent at wake up

Croach weak kick into throw or hhs combo

Back dash attack

All hhs opponent back dash can link to ex headbutt in the wall

Opponent will good stand normal

stand hard punch hit the air croach hard punch
stand medium kick if opponent attack you immediately ex headbutt

Opponent close jump

eg. Evil ryu dive kick
Stright jump lp is the 1st choice, lk is also fine

Opponent far jump

Diagonal jump mp is the 1st choice, most opponent has their hit box in the upper position during jumping

Far opponent normal

Time for headbutt or ex headbutt
For eg. Rose are pressing stand hk, guide press the stand hp

Close standing opponent

Characters like sagat and guide, you can do ex 28k
The best attack for standing bulky opponent

Vs characters rely on setup during wakeup

For eg. Guide
Once they fireball, u immediately do ex 28k then it is your setup time for jumping to his back.

Quick move vs dive kick character to your back

Once dive to your back,
You can use stand weak kick to start your hhs combo、

Hi Akimo :slight_smile: great to hear from you again

  1. HHS xx Super - I don’t think it matters if its Jab / Strong / Fierce version
  2. This setup is meant for corner, but actually might work mid screen. Never thought to try it mid screen. Let me test tonight. I know it will NOT cross up in mid-screen. I dont know if the jump will reach him or not.
  3. Note that this is specifically to beat Delayed Wakeup.
  4. The Sumo Splash is MK that I use to frame kill to time the jump.

When you do it in the corner, even if they Quick Rise, they will still often lose if they reversal DP (honda post super tech in action - YouTube for example ONI Quick Rise DP me here, I still win or trade LOL and creates very confusing situation for opponent)

This is very Nasty vs. Dictator EX Psycho Crusher Wakeup in corner!!! (makes it go wrong way back into the corner + Opens him up for HUGE PUNISH!!! LOL)

If you want an option for Mid Screen after landing a Super, I have 2 that I have tested.

  1. Jump > micro step > Jump Roundhouse or Jump Fierce. Manually Timed and kind of obvious, doesnt often bait anything imo but good for putting you back into position safely.

  2. HP Headbutt Frame Kill > Oicho. The HP Head will cross over their Body on the ground, then the moment they wakeup you should be able to oicho. This is DANGEROUS because sometimes the HP head leaves you very far away and no chance to oicho and you just built small amount of bar and maybe give up good position :frowning:

It depends where you land the super, I still havent exactly figured out how each one works. Sometimes I just do MP Head now to build bar and put me in good position close to their body on the ground.

65

1 more thing ill put in here hopefully people see:

Great combo I found only confirmed works vs. Cammy and Gouken (maybe more)
Cl HP > cr jab xx HP HHS > st HK
Have found cl HP often pushes you very far away on Meaty / CH so no chance to do big damage, but on these 2 characters for some reason you get the full hits for HUGE meter build (1/2 a bar at least) this meaty often trade with DP like ppl mentioned above and has so many active frame, very easy to use after landing EX Buttslam (just wait a couple frame then press it)

67

haha yep it is sadly :frowning: almost never get to use it but adds up over 600 stun too i forgot to say lol

will weak headbutt beat Bison Ultra 1?

68

you ever played against this guy ^ ??

I heard lots of people still playing SF4 in Japan. I talk to Reizu2012 on youtube stream sometimes. Also Hamteo100kan ? (maybe got the name wrong) We have maybe ~20 strong players left in Canada only now in SF4 :frowning: but still playing a lot

Technic for using Honda
Never start attack 1st by pressing weak normal, orchit throw in far distance
Use focus backdash to escape from jump in attack in order to create attack. Too close, u may use jesus chop.
Every jump in need to charge immediately
Vs air ball characters, only try to walk in when they release fireball.
Even hit down the characters, u only press normal in front of him and let them do incorrect special for punish.

Abel

You can get close to normal throw.
Abel jump escape, diagonal jump mp straight jump lp
jesus chop vs wheel kick dash front kick

He has 5 ways to do after he knocks u down
when u wakeup：
1/ abel croach hard punch into ultra
2/ roll+ close stand strong punch at your back and then combo> ultra
3/ command grab
4/ ex command grab
5/ croach weak punch 5 hits combo

ex headbutt or sumo splash can beat them.

Abel

use croach weak punch weak headbutt cab win
when abel walk front immediately headbutt him

You may use focus attack to absorb his dash medium kick

Adon
Jesus chop can beat his jagar kick.
when u in the corner, he use jagar kick, u can use ex sumo splash to beat him
It is suggest not to play normal with him, u should wait him press button 1st. u can use weak headbutt to best his stand 2 hits kick. focus attack absorb his kick to do orchit throw.
In far position, it is not suggest to use jesus chop.
Stright jump hp can beat his ex jaguar kick, u have to press button 1st.

2 weak punch and then jagar to your back, you need to have very quick reaction to do reverse ultra or medium sumo splash to go to another side

Forward downward hk can step rising jagar during his wakeup
Adon ex jaguar kick , you have to beat him early in the start up using straight jump hp or diagonal jump front hk

Ehonda wake up, Adon uses straight jump hk and then jagar kick. After ehonda block his straight jump hk, ehonda can press close mp to beat him
Adon jump to your back during wakeup, jump back mp or stand hp
ex sumo can beat when adon start up
Jump back hk can beat ex jagar kick
st. jump lk vs adon wall ex dive kick
normal dive can use stand hp
strong headbutt vs jaguar kick
ex Jaguar need to use ex headbutt
stand hp can beat jagur
stand hp can beat jagur kick hit back
Delay ultra 1 can beat his ex jump air jagar kick hit back or sumo splash

Blanka

If you are in the ground walking, blanka does ultra 2 , u can do ultra 1 on him.
When blanka is knocked down in the corner, you can stand weak punch and then croach weak punch to beat all his special.

Croach weak punch can win
After blanka wakes up, he will use ex up and down roll, it is armour breaking. You can use stand close Hp to beat him. If it is close u can try press croach weak punch or any headbutt before his wakeup.

If the up and down roll, not a wakeup, you can use focus attack dash in to punish him.

His ultra 2, you can press 3 hard kicks to move the stick for quick wakeup and then use ultra 1 to punish him

Bison

The distance he cannot hit you, u can jump hp, either AA or he will on hit
if he walks front, u can do headbutt
once u jump in ready to use weak headbutt

Boxer

Ehonda needs to jump in this game and learn how to throw barlog when he dashes to you.

downforward hard kick can step his dash punch except ex dash punch

Headbutt can beat his dash punch. U can use focus backdash also.

Cammy

Dont play normal with her. unless she use far croach kick u can kick her back

Always prepare to anti air, use straight jump lp is good especially for close distance, .the theory.is that we dont let her jump in to do 1 set of combo. Sometimes stright jump hp is too slow

When she knocked u down in the corner, if she dives to.your back, u can use ultra1 or stand close hp

When she just start dive kick during your wakeup, u can 28hk, maybe help u for escape, if she doesn’t know.

Weak 28k can beat dive kick, you need to think about her dive kick position.

If she did an early dive and you see she is in your back, you can immediately ex headbutt

Blocking cammy shoe on your head and falling in front can use ex headbutt
Stright jump or back jump to eat one hit, you can charge to do ex headbutt

Claw

When he walk to press button, u can focus to absorb 1 hit and then throw or jump in attack. Dont focus attack if he is charging.

mainly use weak punch and weak headbutt
if you pressed croach weak punch, u have to stop pressing, as his claw can attack you

Better force him in the wall
After knocked him down use front dash to force him to the wall and wait for his back dash or do scaler terror roll. usually he will dash back. Always get ready with ex headbutt
His straight jump, u can use stand hk or 28hk
weak headbutt can beat his low claw

pf focus attack will release without dash cancel, time for ultra

Claw has kara throw, once you jump in and hit nothing, he always use kara throw to throw you.

Case 1, you can press hk lklp
Case 2, stright jump hp and then combo, straight jump lp also ok
Case 3, backdash
Case 4, ultra, it is dangerous

Dont do orchit throw for every knock down, he has enough time to do ex knee press attack to the wall.

use croach weak punch to prevent him get close to throw

If he use Barcelona claw cross attack, he may hit another side, it is better use delay sumo splash or auto correct ex headbutt.

When claw uses ex penetration rotating claw, you can 1st blow his ex and then pull back.
You can also use delay ultra 1, it has chances to AA if the timing is incorrect
Sky high claw when he goes to the wall, u can start to press stand hp.
Get close to jump mp
No attack in the claw area.
Becareful of his moving throw when he gets close
Dont walk to him when he has ex

Claw likes to ex jump to the wall and rotating himself to penetrate you. 1p to 2p side of the wall. When he jumps from 1p and to the 2p side wall, (The timing that u do stright jump is when claw is in 2p side in the air not yet touching the wall) Ehonda can use straight jump and then move to the punch to 1p side. It can hit him.

Roll back one time

Sumo splash 2nd hit can beat his back roll one time but u need to find a right timing, early can use normal one, late, u may do ex sumo splash

Wakeup sumo splash is armour breaking

It is very welcome to do this, you need to hit him correctly, once he is croaching, it is not easy to sit on him accurately

Force him in the wall but dont do anything

It is because he will do ultra 2

Becareful for his kara throw

he will do it when u just landing or after croach weak punch.

Rolling crystal in the land

  1. 28hk escape
  2. jesus chop
  3. ex headbutt

Flying ex claw attack when you just wakeup

  1. 28hk when he ready to penetrate, Escape
  2. Stand far mk, AA mode you hit him 80, he hits you 50

  3. jump back hk for escape
  4. 28hk has chance to AA
  5. Stright jump hp
  6. ultra 1
  7. jump front without pressing anything, 2nd jump mk
  8. If u dont have any ultra and u will die even you block, you can try to use back dash(he jumps from your front wall) or front dash (he jumps at your back wall)

Other flying attack

When claw reach the wall, you can do 28hk
close hp or any 28k can beat Barcelona attack
or back dash after he opens his claw, usually your stick will move opposite to the wall that he bounce from

When he uses stright jump

non wakeup, you can use medium sumo splash beat him when his head faces the sky.

Normal attack

2hits croach weak punch then u may try croach medium punch or weak headbutt

Walk close to go to his head

jump mp can hit his head, his head does not have hit box, prefer to jump when he is not croaching.

Force him to the wall to do combo.

When you knock him down, wait a bit while before attack him, when he dash backward, prefer to use orchit throw.

suggest to do croach weak punch hhs, walk a little bit and then croach weak punch hhs again

Claw has chances jump to your back and make one roll back to fake you do normal and then ex kick to the wall

you better do weak sumo splash to hit him in the air before his landing.

croach weak punch, jesus chop and stright jump hp can beat his ex kick(when u want to get close to him)

When u can jump in hit his abdomen part, use jump front hk or hp, head part use jump front mp
Use front jump lp also works.

After jump mp or mk, you can try normal throw, it is safe.

Ryu

When u are down, he will use diagonal jump weak kick to your back, you can use delay weak headbutt to headbutt him, he is unable to shroyuken.
Train yourself excellent to absorb fireball 1st to orchit throw for the catching distance
After focus attack absorb the fireball in far distance even you walk in ryu cannot use his normal to attack you. At this distance, u should stand after you dash in and ready to jump for the fireball when u see the spark in ryu back.

Focus attack absorb fireball in medium far distance you can croach lp or stand lk, use those 4 frames attack to hit him.

Focus attack absorb fireball in close distance, use orchit throw.

If you check his hit box, all his normal was beaten by jesus chop. You will ask me why it is not safe because ryu will use ex fireball before you startup and after your jesus chop recovery. You need to becareful with this.
Usually jesus chop is use after stand weak punch or hit croach medium kick when u see ryu startup his croach medium kick in his croach medium kick distance.

Coach weak punch may be hitted by his stand weak kick, u can use croach medium punch for medium distance.

If your dash in distance is close, you can use far weak kick to stand your attack.

I really suggest you dont jump in when he has two meters and ultra.

Stright jump will a fall down distance that he is unable to use croach medium kick or stand hard kick to kick you. It needs your experiences. If he fireball, you focus and then get in or jump in. After you dash in, you may try croach weak punch, croach medium punch and dash in again with croach weak kick or punch hhs.

If no fireball, you can walk one step and try to jump to to his back.

If he jumps in after your landing, try to use jesus chop or close hp to AA

Will the half screen distance, you can listen to ball cat, when you hear ball, it is time to do ultra and you have to release it on the time of the cat sound. It needs to train your ears.

Use stand mp to hit fireball hands and then stand hk
Stand mp does not require to confirm hit ryu, or it is just to attract opponents to press the buttons or jump in. Becareful on the distance, it uses to bait your opponent. The main point is to use stand hard kick or headbutt (If he jump) after stand medium punch.

Stand mp better use during opponent is croaching

You can also use croach mp for charging for your sumo splash (if he jump in)

You can try to use croach medium kick and then weak sumo splash during air tastu especially you are standing not in wakeup status.

Stand close hk to beat over middle head air tastu
go to your front of the chest, you can press croach weak punch hit when he lands and then croach weak kick croach weak punch

When you jump in, he will do air tastu immediately, you may jump back mp

After he lands the air tastu, he may jump front mk, you try to AA jump mp with him

Not to use ex headbutt after ryu hit you twice using croach weak punch, u may use straight jump hp or 28hk chase

Ryu jump back will ex fireball, it is time to jump in
After stand close hp or 2 croach lp, Ryu will escape using hurricane kick
28k to his back immediately weak punch
after fireball u stright jump, he will use air tastu get close
u can croach medium kick to escape
After straight jump, Ryu will do a fireball
oni ing once go back to the ground, he will press focus
All far jump try to use focus attack back dash to escape, press lklp, once it is not block, you try to press back dash, backdash can include hhs
If Honda eat one air tastu, Ryu may jump in croach medium kick, it is time for you to do wakeup medium headbutt, ex headbutt or ultra
press croach weak punch and then croach weak kick for chest air tastu
after ryu is down and he has 2 bar of air, press stand weak punch backdash, his shroyuken will go to air
after backdash his throw, u can immediately croach weak punch cancel into orchit
after ryu is down u can immediately press stand weak punch hit the air then croach weak punch orchit
jesus chop for above head air tastu
after fireball air tastu, stright jump hp can beat
dropping needs to use stand lp
stright jump lp

After jump mk u can try stand mp lklp

Dont jump at close position his stand hard punch and stand hard kick can beat you.
Ex sumo splash is good to change position.
For all fireball characters, I suggest not to press normal
except croach weak kick and stand weak p9unch. It is because you will eat their ex fireball in close distance, you can only do those normal at close distance which confirm u can touch them, those normal unable to touch better not to press button.
Hundred hands ex headbutt for new

some ryu likes to croach weak punch one hit and then walk back to wait u to press croach weak kick and then walk front to throw you

some ryu may like to jump weak punch croach weak punch walk back and then walk front to throw you, always becareful with this

Ryu jump lk to hit your back will still appear in your front to attack u

When ryu knocks you down in the wall, he will use diagonal jump weak kick, you have to block at the back at 4 position and then move back to block croaching 3 position. Ryu will not go to your corner unless you croaching then let him fall and do weak 28k.

Some ryu, akuma, Ken like to use jump weak kick for easy to get his throw setup in the ground, you can use focus backdash to get away, better not to absorb his hit to backdash, u can croach weak punch hhs to punish his jump in

Sagat

walk in to play, focus absorb fireball
Look at his downward hands, once it move back, it is your jumping time for his fireball. Actually, you better jump in far distance, as his stand weak kick is quite strong, I suggest you use jesus chop to play medium distance normal.

After blocking tiger knee, you can back dash first
use ex sumo splash to beat his tiger knee attack
Croach hard punch is really useful for this matchup

Fake the opponent to do special cancel

After knock your opponent down, press stand weak punch and then backdash. Shroyuken flies into the sky.

Jump mk or jump mp tries to backdash immediately

Empty jump(2.5 square AA with hard kick or hit nothing without pressing nothing)

becareful if they walk in to throw you after landing especially claw, Ken who has kara throw

you can take a look with this

Focus attack can beat focus cancel

It needs to know.

After you knock component down

Prepare a straight jump and then ultra 2 setup but it is non safe move.

Jump front or back was hitted by the opponent for air to air

For eg. Evil Ryu jump you lose in the air to air, If they jump again, you can press focus attack and release.
You can prepare the setup of ultra 2

Croach weak punch on block x 2 then press croach hard punch

Focus attack dash in

Prefer to use croach weak punch to follow

Far air tastu standing Honda case

Air hurricane kicks 2 frame hit the front and 6 frame hit the back, you have 6 frame chances to hit him in the front. We needs to think about how to hit him in the front. 3 kicks to the front and 3 kicks to the back

Stand hk is also fine, if the kick is far away.
usually stand hk 2nd hit will hit ryu, although not much but it is good

You can jump mp to hit him air to air.
If Ryu land in front of you, you can stand lp into something.
You can croach or stand block
Striaght jump lp hit his head into something also works.

Croach medium punch then ex headbutt
If croach medium punch cannot hit, headbutt with beat him
Another option is to use focus attack absorb one hit and then push forward usually it for his last hit

You can try croach medium kick to escape his air tastu
and then 28lk

Read Fireball for eye training (His downward hands move to his back

For dhalisim, look at his head movement to do ultra or ex headbutt, because if u look at his hand, the fireball always come out already. For invisible, you can look at his legs once you get close to do ultra when he is in the ground to do invisible. If he is in the air, it is better not to jump in his first jump. When he hits you early in his jump, you still have time to ultra or ex headbutt him.
You better hit him in the second invisible using standing jesus drop, straight jump hp for close distance or 28hk for medium distance or ultra for far distance for dhalisim 2nd invisible. For ultra, some dhalisim know to use air rotating dive roll to escape.

Please see the video of Ryu special, what you watch is his downward hand, when he moves to his back, it is time for u to jump. It is valid for ryu, ken, evil ryu akuma, sakura, sagat You should see the special movies for Ryu’s downward hands for the whole matches and train your eyes to see his fireball before competition.

For akuma jump fireball, you have to look at his upper hands, once he punch his upper hands, ready for ultra or headbutt

For ibuki, you can look at her head and hands and body will be moved down suddenly

For oni, guoken, dan, you can look at their upper hands move to horizontal and push front. But guoken is useless he will do upper or normal fireball. But his ex fireball is your time to ultra

For oni and akuma charge strong fireball, he will move to two hands to his waist position, it has enough time to do ultra 1. They usually do it when you wake up to make you lose more blood.

For oni scissor hands, you can see his upper hands whether it has flash light. Once he starts you can jump back. If you are wakeup and unable to jump, you may use back dash for front scissor when he turn around
If he does hp scissors hands and it is the last hits you may try front dash if he is already passes through you, if he has not pass through you, u can back dash.

For sagat, you can look at his downward hands go to his back to jump in, but he has chances to do tiger knee.

For rose, you can look at her upper hands, it will disappear and it is time for jump

For juri, you have to look at her legs and body rotation

Read fireball for charging characters for jumping in

Seth, you look at his dowanward hands, he will move to his back.

Guile and Dee Jay, u can look at his upper hands move to backwards

Chun li, look at her rotation of hands and head

Dont do ex headbutt after Ryu hit twice

He will jump back and shroyuken cancel into ultra

Dont do sumo splash vs ryu

He can use croach hard punch. or focus attack and u will eat full set of combo

After stand hard punchor HHS on block by ryu

Ready your ultra 1

How to read air tastu

I use Ryu as an example, what you do is to read his downward hand for the whole match, when he is jump and his downward hands go to his back, it is air tastu.

If you can read his air tastu and you are not down, you can headbutt to the another side if you have charge.
Jump back, back dash… please see my below suggestion.

When will Ryu use air tastu

When you jump to medium distance, sometimes you will croach, he will immediately use air tastu go to your back, for this case, u need 2nd straight jump or jump back

You eat the front air tastu will reduce less meter and less chances to get hurt by ryu

early air tastu standing Honda case

jump back mk, prefer jump back hk and then ex headbutt when u land
Jesus chop press twice hp quickly

Front air tastu, stand hard kick or weak normal headbutt

Corner air tastu Honda wakeup case
Try to use jump back mk

For air tastu when to do ultra

front back front back front < your ultra time
The 3rd front kicks
His weakness is the 3rd front kick, you should see his 3 circles and then start doing ultra or ex or focus dash back.
If someone dont want to count they can use a normal croach weak kick and then immediately ultra
croach weak kick is 14 frames, The 3rd kick starts at 16 frames for you to hit.

Air tastu hit your back and u are in 1p side, your input method is 13131 pop

you can look at Ryu footsteps how to set up the air tastu for your easy prediction

Close air tastu hit Honda wakeup to his back

Some people will try to use stand mp, this one needs you to press early when 2 4 1, you need to press accurately. usually the last hit of mp will hit ryu. The case successfully if ryu air tastu does not kick your head for those 6 frames and the last hit one frame will bingo.

If you have ex, wait for his 3rd hurranican kicks then ex headbutt

croach and then focus attack dash front for his 3rd hurricane kick.

If u are walking, you can try stand lp to hit him even he goes to your back

Air tastu setup after normal throw or croach hard kick

you can take a look with this and becareful

You can croach block like this

close jumping attack

jump back mp

Jump in during your wakeup for dive kick hit your back position

You can front dash and then push stand medium punch

Corner ultra 1

When you are at corner, opponent wants to hit your back and the opponent walks close to you and jump, you can do the ultra without thinking, the corner will lock your position and wait for the opponent fall down to eat the full ultra

Diagonal jump mp
Only vs Sagat, Guoken, Ken and Chun li need to use mp. Other characters do not require and better increase the damage
Sometimes honda require to use diagonal jump hp to beat guile croach hp

Attract shroyuken during opponent wakeup

once you knock down an opponent use sumo splash or throw, you can use croach weak punch then croach hard kick

Croach medium punch ensure charging

After u do stright jump, croach medium punch can ensure charging , if your opponent blocks it, it means you can start your headbutt as your opponent is croaching

Press focus attack

you should not walk and press focus attack like medium punch and kick. If you croach 1st and then press medium punch and kick to prevent hitted by the fireball and accuracy

when to press focus attack

In far hard kick distance only.
You can use the green color V as the book mark, once u walk into it immediately orchit throw or press croach weak punch

Focus attack for close distance

two time croach weak kick then focus attack press with frame advantage and release

Focus attack absorb 1 hit and front dash to attack

U can use medium orchit throw or do a jump in attack.

Focus absorb and back dash

When opponent jumps in, u better not to absorb his jump in attack and back dash. Once opponent fall in the ground, u can croach weak punch hhs or throw him. This is trick to let your defence change to offence.

For some characters like Thawk, Dan, Adon, Abel, if u backdash, they will hit nothing using the special, this is your punish time

Focus backdash to escape viper burning kick

Hhs focus cancel technical

You should cancel hhs in the 1st hit in order to catch the opponent. If u cancel in 2nd hit it will be too slow, u may use 2 hits croach weak punch and then hhs in these case, if u are cancel it in 2nd or 3rd hits.You must practice it very fast to improve your Honda.

Here is one of the top 10 Honda in psn channel

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTwKrI7yZlzrWPenvrEwCfQ

Focus attack absorb fireball for ryu Ken sagat

Just use ears, if u hear ball or tie, you can immediately press the mp mk after that use your eyes to see the fireball absorbed then dash in
It just like use headbutt vs sagat, once you hear tie , u immediately do strong headbutt

Always charge in the air and move to back when you forward jump

After that, you ca headbutt immediately it is good to vs back dash characters like claw

Stright jump and move backward immediately for charging

once you fall down, you only press croach weak punch will have charge to do ex headbutt

Jump mk hit the characters back how to charge

in 1p position jump to hit back, move your stick to 3 in the air
in 2p position jump to hit back, move your stick to 1 in the air

Sagat

In the middle screen walk block and walk and block, once go into distance that you can grab, you will focus and dash into to grab or croach weak punch
no jump
Becareful in tiger knee position

You take a look with this will not fall into Sagat fireball trap.

AA with his fireball safe and will not eat full set of combo

in most far distance, once sagat voice out tiger, u can do strong headbutt immediately, u will only eat the fireball for unsuccessful.

in middle distance, low fireball can do medium headbutt, stand fireball can use sumo splash

usually weak punch is very useful vs sagat to hit his fireball hand

Confirm has air in ground

croach medium punch, that is 2.5 seconds

Store air in the air for straight jump
once you jump, you need to press down backwards
once you land the ground, u still need to press croach weak punch for air confirmation

Ryu

Let him press normal 1st

When he releases fireball, it is time to jump in

Some ryu likes to use croach hard punch to beat your 28k or ex headbutt, when u see it u can ultra 1 immediately.

Walk and block in medium distance
green v signal focus and dash in orchit throw
better press croach weak punch only, dont press stand hard kick to make the distance far and hard to get in

Once get close and u are able to focus attack to absorb the fireball, use stand hk

Stand weak punch weak punch then ex headbutt
Absorb ball stand hk or orchit only

work back must ready ultra 1 all the time
You must success for this one

He may like to use jump medium kick and then normal throw to you, you can block his kick and then front dash orchit throw

Sometimes you hit him with your tips with your normal or hhs, you may cancel into orchit throw

Use ex headbutt to trade with Ryu jump back hk

Do it, it is worth to trade even both of the characters will on hit, but you beat him more blood

Dhalisim

When do fireball in far position snd then invisible, u can use backdash to escape his invisible and then stand weak punch or stand hard punch

diagonal jump medium punch
When u jump in, you need to move back to block his jump back hp

When he is in the air, free feel to do jesus chop

Block and jump in
Invisible and then jump back or stand close hard kick

1º Torneio do Leilão - Binop (E.Honda) vs AllanGamer (Dhalsim) - SSF4 AE - YouTube

always prepare to use dash backward croach weak punch HHS cancel into orchit throw. Dont let her setup on you to play.
If u are knocked down, u can stand block for dive kick or weak headbutt (backward>forward>backward + weak punch) her jump back weak kick or use stand medium punch to hit her jump back weak kick. After hit her one hit, better not to hit her continue she will press focus attack.

If she does not knocked down, u can jump back even jump front hk, if u can spot her jump.
Her hitbox is on his top of body and her leg. Her attack area only on her toes area.

Dudley

Use jesus chop to play looks safer, as the recovery time shorter to prevent eat his full set combo.

Wait for his straight punch, it is your time to press jesus chop.

It is welcome to do croach weak punch hhs, if u touch him.

Use diagonal weak punch to jump in is ok

Claw

Claw weakness is his knocked down. Once he is down, jump in hk immediately, u must press early, otherwise u may hit by his ex attack. Unless, he do ultra 2 u may get hurt for that.

If he jumps back, u better use walk in croach weak punch to catch his rotate backwards. croach weak.punch hit nothing your second coach weak pjnch can do hhs.

Jump in when he does not have charge, especially when he jumps back and walk in to press standing normal.

When u press one or two croach weak punch, the next is to do weak headbutt to hit his claw.

For non ex sky high claw attack, you can press focus attack to beat him

ex sky high has 1 hits can break your focus

After block his air rotating claw, you can ex headbutt, ex sumo splash, front dash weak punch hhs or front dash orchit throw
If you jump in, claw will roll back you can immediately dash into orchit throw or use ex headbutt when you land in the group, remember to charge when u start to jump

Block ex penetration claw, assume you stand on player 1 side, 1st block Vega knee raising part, you can move you stick to 4 and immediately move to 6. After that vega in your front, you can dash and then orchit him

diagonal jump punch he will roll backwards, you use diagonal jump again and then croach medium kick, that medium confirm it can hit claw

Jump in to hit claw, claw will do the 3 things
case1: he will roll back 1 loop, once u in the ground, u can immediately front dash croach hard punch or do croach weak punch hhs, if the croach weak punch does not confirm hit, dont do hhs, just sit down and not to do anything. For roll back 1 loop, he does not have negative frame and becareful his ex.

1 loop is dangerous when u chase him

case2: he will roll back 2 loop, front dash and then normal throw or weak punch into hhs. For roll back twice, it has frame disadvantages, feel free to hit him

You can try to hit him will jumping hk twice.
2 loop roll back is safe for Honda to attack

Claw presses 3 legs 3 punches to input either 1 loop or 2 loop roll back

When you use jump mk wants to hit claw back, but he use focus back dash. you can do anything or do weak headbutt when u in the ground，as he is still backdash, he don’t have time to charge.

Yun

Use ultra 1 when he uses dash fly punch better and more safe than do ultra 1 when he do dive kick
For the honda non wakeup case
Stright jump to eat one hit and then immediately move back for charge. once you land u can ex headbutt
Better jump back or back dash eat one hit rather than full set combo during wake up

For wakeup case, if he wants to step your back, he will get closest to you. ex headbutt can beat his step.

Juri

You need to walk in to play and becareful her jump up dive 3 hits kick
block her wheel kick and try to hit her with croach weak punch

Zangief

Just walk to and fro and try to not be the first one to press normal, use focus back dash to escape his attack

When u stright jump, u need to press hp early, otherwise u have chance get hurt by him. You can also use it during his wakeup, becareful if he gets meter to cancel

When he knocks you down and do jump knee press, you use focus attack backdash and then jump back hk

Characters in the wall

Free free to do stand hp croach weak punch hhs and then stand hard kick. only characters in the corner in the wall will eat while set of combo

Different between back dash and focus backdash

For pressing focus to backdash, you have extra 2 frame charge

Focus attack is an option select

  1. Opponent press normal, Focus absorb 1 hit to attack
  2. Opponent jump in, Focus back dash and then croach weak punch hhs

It is very safe.

Diagonal Jump charging

You can charge in the air, once you go down, u can ready your headbutt

Dizzy

1 set of jump in combo and jump hk stand hp
Actually you should do more close stand hp to make characters dizzy

All cut down or dive kick character
close distance

Focus attack backdash

Far distance

use jump mp

If he lands to in front you without hitting u, u can jesus chop

For fireball characters Ryu, Ken, Sagat

move to the farest distance and stand jump in
After jumping in, walk close and then start to walk close.

Case 1: fireball focus absorb cancel into orchit throw
Case 2: walk in and then stand hk

For evil ryu, he may like to trap your stand hk by pressing focus attack. You can use stand weak punch and then stand weak kick hit the air when u see his
focus , u can immediately ex headbutt or ultra1
After forcing the characters in the corner, you may just sit down and charge for ex headbutt or ex sumo splash

Few free to do ultra 1 when air tastu goes to the wall.

When the character is very close, better not to jump, for eg. if you do stright jump go, ryu can do diagonal jump hk to hit u down. I suggest u to press croach weak punch to hit the the hand of fireball.

Honda is in the walks to backward, some Ryu/Ken likes to use air tastu in far distance in front your face, in this case when ryu lands near your head, you press stand hk twice immediately, it has chance to hit him twice with close hk, if it lands little bit far, he will eat the stand hk.
Another case is to use jesus chop or close hp, I think it is not quite safe.

Honda diagonal jump mk or mp, some ryu block your punch and then try to throw you, I suggest you press stand hk lp lk by pressing these 3 buttons together to avoid throw by him.

Diagonal jump medium punch

Usually use this when ryu wake up, it is better use this when he wakes up at around stand position to hit front and hit his back also the same, he will shroyuken to the front and you will go to his back without hit.

Another use case is they eat your stand hp or work close and block your croach weak punch.

Focus attack backdash

Press mkmp 1st plink with lklp after on hit back dash

Seth, Akuma, Evil Ryu diagonal jump in dive kick

After you block you can ex headbutt

You can also back dash their dive kick

Close set of combo, vs those player know how to jump away your orchit

Croach weak kick, croach weak punch, croach weak punch, (better use this when the croach weak punch is croaching) stand medium punch, stand hard kick or ex headbutt(if opponent jumps)

Two croach weak punch

After doing two croach weak punch, some ryu will jump front mwdium kick or air tastu, good choice is stright jump hp if u can read or jump back medium punch(air to air)

Why need to take video and watch video?

  1. Learn how to offense
  2. Learn how to defense and then punish
  3. Learn what kinds of attack help you to beat your opponent
  4. Learn what kinds of things you have done cause you to have big punishment.
  5. Learn your competition players habits. Some players like to jump up or jump back and then do fireball immediately, that is your jump in time. After doing stand hard punch and HHS not in full hits, ryu will do ex fireball immediately and that is your ultra time.
    For example:
    eg 1.sumo splash is punished by focus attack
    eg 2. headbutt is punished by jump back and eat a full set combo into ultra.
    eg 3. jump in and croaching down or croach weak punch, ryu will setup an air tastu to your back
    For eg 3, it is for you to think how to beat him if he do this air tastu and punish him. (Your thinking time)
  6. Learn your stupid things that you have done cause you lose the match. Dont do next time.

Actually safe Honda just plays normal. All the special moves have their frame disadvantages. You should think about how to play good normal in order to upgrade your ehonda.

Watch other characters special and normal

you will know which one you can use backdash to escape and able to beat their normal

Dash into ultra 1

assume u are in 1p
46646 ppp

Walk one step for special

All your special can press one time the forward or backward before you press the button

For eg. sumo splash is 28hk
You can 2 6 8 hk walk one step and then sumo splash

You can press weak kick when you move to 6, it will release stand weak kick and then sumo splash, if the stand weak kick touch the opponent

For headbutt, you can 46 6p it will walk forward one step then headbutt

Orchit throw, but it does not encourage to do

Close fireball can punish on block

it is -4 to -7
You can croach lp to startup your attack
croach lp link with headbutt

One combo for non shroyuken character on block when Honda jump in

Jump hk>stand lp>stand lk>croach lp hhs or ex hhs
Opponent may jump after stand lp and lk

Read your opponents characters in startup frame action rather than active frame action

You can go to YouTube to find opponent normal and special to see.
For fireball characters, you can use YouTube ryu matchup to see his startup action, actually you can find his hand move to his back and there are sparks at his back, that is your jump in time. You can find YouTube movie to practice to test your eyes how many times the jump you guess are correct.

Once u see the sparks, u say jump. Mark a tick if it is correct and cross for incorrect. You try it repeatedly with different movies. It is very good for you, the next is to read some normal like dhalsim croach far punch or his yoga fire.

Here is the sf2 frame data, it shows each action move. It can help you to read your opponents move.

http://wiki.shoryuken.com/Ryu_(ST)

All fast dash characters knock you down and dash in the corner using their croach weak kick

You must block at this case, opponent dash in to force u into corner, it will cancel your ex headbutt. If u press any commands, u will eat their croach weak kick
Akuma, cammy, ryu, oni are able to cancel your input command by dashing forcing you to the corner

Special techniques which can pass through fast fireball using kara headbutt

8hk headbutt
The fireball is near highest distance of the 8hk foot then fierce or strong or weak headbutt. It is especially good vs sagat ex fireball.
Backward>Down forward + HK>Backward + punch

Far stand hard kick

It is not a safe move. You will have chances to full set of jump in combo.

Although my opinion above are for sf4, actually it can apply sf5. It is useful to give you an idea on how to play Honda.

After jump in you can use close hp, it will counter

Except ryu and sagat, their shroyuken are stright up. Other characters can try it.

Vs ryu fireball

You can press croach weak punch at some distance, if u read Ryu starting a fireball, u can input the remaining hhs. The distance is around the starting 90 seconds distance. Spacing is important when u do this.

u can watch 4:24

Advanced level of focus attack

Vs charge type of characters:
it can use focus attack to absorb the 1 hit when the trap air type characters walk in to attack you such as Vega. Vega is unable to trap enough air to jump into the wall.

You can either orchit throw or jump in to attack him

When opponent jump in, u can try to focus and backdash immediately and then do orchit throw or croach weak punch hhs. It works especially vs oni
