Street Fighter V/E.Honda/Strategy

V-System

V-Reversal

Standard 17 frame strike. Knocks down and pushes to almost full screen. Can be used to set up a chip out with super, but this is beaten by some reversals.

V-Skill 1

Honda's VS1 is Neko Damashi. It's a clap that can nullify fireballs and start juggles, or be cancelled into special moves. Going into this v skill and then a hundred hand slap can tack on an extra bit of v meter build and damage to Honda's confirms, while still being great on block. It's worth noting that if this V skill destroys a fireball, its recovery is dramatically reduced, so theoretically if you destroy a fireball and hit someone with the same VS1, you could get a damaging link combo.

V-Skill 2

Honda's VS2 is Sumo Spirit. Honda poses for 50 frames and charges up his next Hundred Hand Slap. The frame data remains the same on block, however every version gets better frame data on hit. All versions become +4 on hit, letting you link a 5LK after any version for good damage. The EX version becomes +6, letting you link a 5MK. In addition to the better frame data, when powered up, Honda can cancel any of his grounded normals into HHS, making his pokes even more threatening and giving him even better whiff punishes.

V-Trigger 1

Honda's VT1 is Onigawara, it's 3 bars and gives him access to a powered up headbutt by pressing HP+HK. This headbutt can be cancelled from any normal of special, making it a great combo ender. It has armor on startup, so it's fairly strong as an anti air and reversal. You can charge the headbutt, and when fully charged, it causes a guard break and projectile invulnerability. The headbutt takes up about a third of your gauge, so functionally, you'll get 3 uses out of it.

V-Trigger 2

Honda's VT2 is Tajikarao, it's 2 bars and gives him access to a running command grab by pressing HP+HK. The command grab can easily be compared to Hugo's Meat Squasher, as Honda picks you up, runs to the nearest corner, and then finally throws you down. Like his VT1 headbutt, this also has armor, making it a somewhat useful anti air and reversal. It can be cancelled into from any normal or special, and becomes a hit grab when done so it can properly combo. After this command grab, you get a juggle state, making its damage definitely significant.
