Street Fighter 6 E.Honda Overview

E.Honda is a heavy-hitter who relies on getting in close with his patented Sumo Headbutt. He also has footsies that can deal a lot of damage.

Use moves like Sumo Headbutt to close the gap, do simple hard-hitting up-close combos with Hundred Hand Slaps (now a motion input), and catch people sleeping with a command grab and a Sumo Smash. He can also negate projectiles with his Neko Damashi and buff up his Hundred Hand Slaps with Sumo Spirit.

New to E.Honda’s classic arsenal is Sumo Dash, a sumo shuffle move that has follow-ups to help with your pressure game. Or just a straight-up launcher for potential combos which will most likely end with Sumo Headbutt.

Play If: You like heavy-hitting characters with good footsie tools, you like a mix of charge and motion inputs for special moves, like big damage at mid-range

Avoid If: you like rushdown characters and playstyles more, prefer faster & mobile characters
