A champion ''yokozuna'' (sumo wrestler), Honda is a prideful fighter who embraces the tradition imbued within the art of sumo, yet aspires to take sumo wrestling worldwide to prove its prestige and strength to the world. While incredibly serious in battle and in training, he has a friendly, perceptive nature and warmly welcomes those with good in their hearts. | |||

E. Honda comes to Street Fighter V as a close-range mix-up character who specializes in utilizing wacky movement options, generous plus frames, and incredible corner carry to build momentum and overwhelm his opponent with pressure and mix-ups. Whether you want to close the gap with a risky Headbutt, drop from the skies with a Sumo Smash, or making your opponent panic with options after his incredible forward dash, Honda has a lot of ways to put the opponent on their heels and open them up for terrifying damage and blockstrings. | |||
A common misconception is that E. Honda is a grappler, but that’s not really the case. There are lots of characters in SFV, like G, who use the threat of command throws to back up their offense. Honda is a very similar case, combining his Oicho Throw with kara cancels and various routes to frame advantage on block, which when combined make his offense some of the most nerve-wracking in the game. He gives up a lot for this, though — his slow, stubby normals, limited special cancels without V-Skill 2, a horribly unsafe Sumo Headbutt and lack of invincible reversals make his neutral a struggle, but in a game where oki and momentum can mean entire games, Honda has both in spades, and one interaction can make all the difference. | |||
