I actually started using jbHK and it does work. But near jump high punch when he tries to counter with sumo slam? Huh.
Do it from a distance of half-screen. These aerials are dangerous when you’re in range for an Air-to-Air counterattack or anti-air. Outside that range, he can’t knock you out of the sky, and headbutt is a no-go. Spammed enough, this gives you a small window to try and approach as he thinks about other options. I didn’t mean it would counter Buttslam, but it may trade, I think, so it’s still a bad idea for Honda.
This is merely how I deal with online Hondas. Offline play makes random Headbutts kinda moot. In lag, you can’t even react to a headbutt in time to block at generous distances which is a big hassle. If you’re not spamming aerials, it’s tactically sound for him to just headbutt repeatedly at mid-range.
It’s REALLY stupid advice, but this is the only solution I’ve been able to come up with. :\
Come AE, nj.HP should get you the knockdown easily. That’s going to be a fun punish. In the meantime, jb.HK works best, but nj.HP can work too, and doesn’t put you at a distance.
I think what also works well is laming it out in the air. What I do is I keep jump backing and jbLK. Because it has fast responsive time, Honda recovers and I go for a suicide to throw him. I also find that some hondas on wakeup try to sumo slam. My guess, but can Air lk Danku counter it? I remember I was able to do that.
LK.Danku, air and grounded beats everything but EX when timed right, I think. It’s got problems if the Honda knows the matchups, but they don’t, so don’t worry about it.
I can totally confirm that this Sure-Fire Kill Technique works. Random Hondas that used to give me trouble don’t use Random Headbutt anymore (I’ve fought a few today of varying skill levels). They’ve even stopped holding charge. Mixed with Gadoukens and smart poking, you can give Honda trouble by traumatizing him with rampant jb.HK
Eventually, they forget they can headbutt.
This technique doesn’t work when Honda has a substantially lifelead, so use it wisely, lest you look like a foo’ who’s no different from the scrubbiest of Ryu players.
Edit: Bah. This should be in matchup discussions. Imma gonna PM Sosage tomorrow and have him trim the forums…
… and have a bowl of Chowder.
