I use it on wakeup weight some of the time…
@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 
great to hear from you again
- HHS xx Super - I don’t think it matters if its Jab / Strong / Fierce version
- 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.
- Note that this is specifically to beat Delayed Wakeup.
- 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.
-
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.
-
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
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.
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)
haha yep it is sadly 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?
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 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

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.

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

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 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.

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

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

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

Absorb ball stand hk or orchit only

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

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
- Opponent press normal, Focus absorb 1 hit to attack
- 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?
- Learn how to offense
- Learn how to defense and then punish
- Learn what kinds of attack help you to beat your opponent
- Learn what kinds of things you have done cause you to have big punishment.
- 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) - 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
