No kidding. The only Honda player I remember from the arcades that plays on PSN is Doramondo and I haven’t seen any vids…I’ve only ever found Gassyuku (Viper player) and Fax Gimoto (Blanka player) on the replays list.
Here’s me playing vs a 20000Bp Rog. Hes the 2nd in the world and 1st in Europe ranked Balrog.
I recorded the matches and posted them here just as another example that BB/PP =/= skill. ^^
I made quite few mistakes but still kicked hes ass.
Anyway, here are the matches.

He kinda gave up in the last round of the 4th match, lol.

This is the last match we played.He tried to contra pick whit Guile I guess.
P.S. LoL @ hes name.
He is in the UK and I havenever heard of him…he was pretty predictable watching those videos going for full screen dash sweep and overhead - I bet he pulls out plenty of wins that way.
You have decent reactions. In that match up though cut out the jumping forward as much as you did and those whiffed lp Heabutts (which were guesses to dash punch I think?) would get you in a bad place if he actually used his walk back all round tactics and dash punched/Supered/Ultra on reaction.
Also when you threw out the LP HB for chip damage you didn’t punish him when he went for a dash punch punish with another LP HB.
Good job in those matches, but that Balrog was just awful. Couldn’t react to a full screen ex headbutt? Mashing jab and dropping his headbutts? Damn. I actually only watched the first match though, the balrog player was too painful to watch. As for advice for you though: Don’t do full screen headbutts, either jab or EX, because once you meet a balrog with better reactions, he’ll punish those.
I was looking for some Honda vids on Youtube and stumbled upon this channel:
YouTube - Raknos1982’s Channel
It’s from a South Korean guy who captures japanese replays in HD, with the commands. There are some matches from Akimo and some other Honda players there that I haven’t seen on SpotATrain or 0ShinAkuma0, so it might be worth checking.

I used the search field above and there’s only two mentions of this channel at SRK. Some of the videos are a month old with less than 100 views. So if you can, spread the word.
Whats up, I’m a viper looking for a good honda matchup, add me if you can help.
heh heh hey beyleh. You should come out to our gathers more often. I’ve gotten a lot better since the last time.

72B is a close friend of mine, so there were a lot of personal mindgames involved with command grabs… Don’t take the shenanigans too seriously lol

Apparently Jab hands is too cheap and needs to be way harder to execute.
Jab hands is too cheap and needs to be tougher to do? That’s bollocks…only a minority of Honda players actually use jab hands from my experience. Also, sick reads by Henry Cen on headbutting through fireballs, I gotta learn the timing of that. C.jab under high fireballs tho? News to me.
Edit: My bad, I too was quoting the commentators.
Not my opinion, just quoting the commentators… Also that headbutt deals way too much damage.
Hands might do alot of damage but when you fight better players it becomes really hard to abuse HHS. Last time I had a match with Valle I could barely get close to him because he was zoning me out.
That match with Sanford and Cen was really fucking painful to watch. It looked like an XBL match. :sad: Sagat Honda is still 6-4 Sagat he just didn’t zone honda out good enough.
agreed. sanford cleaned his game up much more later in the tourney
