While growing up in Japan he always admired the art of sumo wrestling and he hoped to one day become the greatest sumo wrestler of all time. He spent the rest of his life dedicated to sumo, and eventually received the second-highest title of Ōzeki (the highest title is Yokozuna). He also acquires his own dojo where he teaches his students about discipline and respect for your opponent, which Honda believes are the marks of a true sumo wrestler. At some point, he went searching for worthy opponents of other fighting disciplines to prove that sumo wrestlers are the greatest fighters in the world. During this quest he was challenged by Sodom to join Mad Gear. Honda fought Sodom, won, and declined his invitation. He also fought Ryu at least once, and told Sakura (and maybe Juni found out from him, too) where to find Ryu. It is rumored that he teamed-up with Zangief to help take down the Shadaloo. He found some of the Dolls in the wake of Shadaloo's destruction that had amnesia due to the explosion and couldn't even remember their own names. He took pity on them, and brought them to his dojo, where they could be taken care of. He told them that they could leave if they wished once they regained their memory. Some time later he resumed his quest to prove the superiority of sumo in the fighting arts. It was at this time that he began actively competing in the World Warrior tournament. His star pupils at the time were Hatonoyama, Marunoumi, Yasuhanada, and Nishinofuji. He's still a sumo wrestler, as always. And training his students, of course.

Special Moves

Headbutt - Charge back, forward + Punch. Same as usual.
Buttdrop - Charge down, up + Kick. Same as usual.
Hundred Handslap - tap punch repeatedly. Can move and change speed during move.

The Basics

Why pick Old Honda? Old Honda loses ST Honda's 360 grab mixups, but gains important things as well:

Regains his standing sweep kicks
Has better ground fierce attacks
Retains moving handslap

So the basics are HF-style grabby-into-slappy mixups.

-'''Fun Fact''' - To imporve the effectivness of his headbutt attacks, Honda's topknot has a fried chicken bone hidden within.
