E Honda is Useless and other Street Fighter complaints.
michiyoyoshiku | 8:11 AM on 12.02.2008 22 comments




E. Honda is useless.....So how come I can't beat a guy that does nothing but Sumo Headbutt?
By the time I figured out i need to stay close to him so he doesn't get a chance to charge it was too late.

Why is worthless E.Honda in Street Fighter IV?

The Rest of the Cast of Street Fighter I can find uses for. I hate Dee Jay but when I Pick hin when I intend to pick Cammy I do alright. I Find Blanka's Rolls and Reach to be a huge asset to him. I'm a Beast with Bison. Balrog Has his moments. I can't get the hang of Vega though.

That Said.. I also dispise T.Hawk who thankfully isn't in 4. What Genius throught up T. Hawk and thought he was a good idea?

Now Street Fighter IV is Great and all (well I don't know that because I haven't played it yet) But why all the returning characters? Ever Street Fighter Sequel that's number pretty much reboots the cast. Only 4 people from 1 made it into 2 and the same carries to 3 (well eventually 4 from 2 returned) It's not that I mind It's just not what I'm used to from a Street Fighter Sequel. They could have brought everyone back BUT E.Honda Sagat needs to always be in Street Fighter.

Really Sagat is so underrated. He's got a good Reach His Tiger shots can hit you so many ways. He gets more ranage on his upper cut that Knee of his is a beast if you really know what you're doing the God of Muay Thai could really make ya hurt.

Bison, He's also way underrated. I hate how he's relegated to the Bottom of the teir lists....as the teir list makers obviously can't use him to save their lives. I have a good sucess rate using Bison on line in (Really long upgrade name)

How come I can't find anyone on line other than me that knows how to Use Cammy?

Speaking of Cammy Can't they make up their mind already? Is she Bison's Clone or his former lover?

I like the Lover angle my self. Add some Soapish qualities to the whole thing.

Ok it's Bad enough Gill looks like Nio Dio from World Heroes but Seth is Gee Gus......COME ON Capcom
If you're going to resort to stealing designs from SNK at least rip off their cooler bosses like Igniz or Goenitz

Why does Crimson Viper look like Iori Yagami in Drag?

There needs to be an SNK VS Capcom 3 with 100% fan picked Roster becuase 1 and 2 had BlAH rosters and SVC Chaos was missing a few people. SNK is failing now and Capcom is full of Win. Now is a good time for them to team up again.

Basara X is all well and Good But I never played a good Arc sys fighter that isn't Guilty Gear. Can't Capcom Make their own weapons based fighter?

I love HD Remix and all but why'd they change Chun's Spinning Bird kick so dramatically?

Why Do Guile's Throws do so much Goddamn damage still?

And back to the begining

Why does E.Honda suck so much?

Dan> E. Honda.

Lately I've been having trouble against people that use E. Honda. That fucking flying splash thing always gets me.

A good counter to the sumo headbutt is a flaming hadouken, though.
casualweaponry's Destructoid Blog
Most of my online wins are with E Honda. Its awesome that his 360 throw is only a half circle now, and that jab headbutts DESTROY fireballs.

I use a lot of Ryu (fake hadouken FTW), Deejay (easier Machine Gun Upper FTW) and Guile (Upside down kick = overhead attack = WIN), so just adapt and you'll win.
Qraze's Destructoid Blog
chun li is the person i'm decent with, but jimbo still whipes the floor with me. i need to play him more because playing lesser people i won't learn how to be better, the same strategy i went into UT3 with and i am really good at that game because of that method.
BlindsideDork's Destructoid Blog
I love Sagat and I always thought people thought he was overrated?
michiyoyoshiku's Destructoid Blog
I have a pair of vidoes of my on line exploits coming up in a few hours stay tuned
galagabug 's Destructoid Blog
e honda is a good character for beginners.my bro uses him and will rip you to shit. he's got solid reach in the air and on the ground. his attacks friendly to button mashers. he's got solid vertical and horizontal attacks. he's actually really good if you account for his lack of speed.
zeroword's Destructoid Blog
Dude how is Sagat underrated? Isn't he always at the top of the tier list along with Vega and Balrog?
Funky Goodness's Destructoid Blog
I HATE T.Hawk so bad.

My main is Akuma. =P
TorpedoTed's Destructoid Blog
Edmund Honda is the same as Blanka!!

they have the same moves for christ sake...thats like saying god Ryu is so shit where as Ken is the Shiz!
SantanaClaus89's Destructoid Blog
E Honda is FAR from useless. And fireballs don't own him anymore. His jab flying headbutt goes through fireballs now.

Yes, you're right, Guile's throws are cheap. Especially his air throw. Ridiculous.

Chun Li's spinning bird kick was changed because THAT was previously useless, and now it isn't.
dsky's Destructoid Blog
sagat sagat sagat sagat sagat.
Qraze's Destructoid Blog
yeah. the token indian is worthless.
Jordan Devore's Destructoid Blog
I'm generally horrible at SF, but the only character I can be halfway decent with is Sagat.
Holyetheline's Destructoid Blog
I love Chun Li. I don't think you mentioned her once.
Shin Oni's Destructoid Blog
Sagat underrated? really? The guy's top tier in just about every game he's in. The guy has more then enough love.

if you want a good cammy player, you play my friend. he's quite beastly with her.

and i'm sure Blaz Blu will change the whole arc ordeal.

sometimes I wonder why you rant so much.
BravoNavo's Destructoid Blog
Sagat is NOT underrated. He's one of the easiest characters to use.

Cammy in CvS2 is really well loved.

E Honda is not worthless at all. Watch some tourney vids sometimes.

Have you ever played Hokuto no Ken or Battle Fantasia. Those are both great ASW games.

You can soften every one of Guile's throws in this game. If you wanna talk about cheap throws, bring up Sim, Boxer, or anyone else with tick throws. Those are maddening.
Shin Oni's Destructoid Blog
to add to the tick hate Bravo's throwing, T.Hawk tick throws are hella annoying also.
bbrigg1's Destructoid Blog
I like E. Honda.

I'm not going to get into who I do and don't like because it doesn't matter, but I HATE the 360's d-pad. 50% of the times I jump, I don't mean to.
Kyousuke Nanbu's Destructoid Blog
Holy shit I agree with Reaprar.

Seriously "E.HONDA SUCKS CAUSE I GET BEAT WITH HIM BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW"

Honda's a beast now and he's an excellent counter to fireball spamming assholes and Cammy is an excellent match up for Sagat since her cannon drill goes right under his high fireball.

Seriously, suck less.

@Brig

Use the analog stick.
CWal37's Destructoid Blog
I actually love to use Cammy.
