Hey! :honoka:

I've analyzed most of Honoka's moves from her Command Training video, in terms of from which character the move was originally from. I will list both the original input and Honoka's input if necessary. I'm not too sure about all moves, so feel free to correct me. Below is a link to the Command Training video.

* Raidou's traditional Underworld Drop has a very long, barely understandable input when written in numbers. Thus, I will provide two alternative ways of saying the input:

1. :236::4::6::h::+::P: :5: :214::268::H+P: :5: :6842::6842::H+P: (Raidou)

2.
QCF 46T.QCB HCF T.FCB FCB T (Raidou)
> QCF = Quarter Circle Forward
> QCB = Quarter Circle Backward
> HCF = Half Circle Forward
> FCB = Full Circle Backward

Hope this helped! ;)

Nice analysis
Thank you! Since your main was Lei Fang, am I missing any moves for her? I thought 'to foe's back 6T' is originally from Lei Fang, but I was not too sure. If you know, I can scratch it from my '???' list ;)

EDIT: Updated the list. Forgot about 4H. That move was originally from Lei Fang which Honoka has stolen.

Honoka has Ein/Hitomi's 2P and 236P

Also I believe her PL is the same as Ein Hayate and Hitomi as well.

As for 33K I think it could be Eins 33K as his is a similar animation but it might be shared by Rig.

Hmm.. I thought 2P was from Zack but after looking carefully again you're right: 2P is indeed from Hitomi/Ein!
I also had my doubts about her Power Launcher. Didn't know it was from Mila, Kokoro, Hayate, Ein or Hitomi. I think we can discuss on this.
I was fairly sure 33K was from Rig since Rig does a crouch-like animation whereas Ein remains standing. Also Rig stretches his leg further in the air than Ein, which I noticed Honoka did too in the video.

EDIT: Updated the list. Moved 2P from Zack to Hitomi/Ein.

Ahh I see, I only recognise Ein's so I immediately thought of Ein.

But I am loving the fact she has the Hokage, I'm interested how much damage it does and if it will remain as a 12f punish throw. Also, since she has it I'm interested to see if she has the wall version.

I suppose you mean ''wall version'' instead of ''was version''. If so, that would be so frickin' cool.
In terms of damage, I think Honoka's Hokage will do less damage than Ein's Hokage, due to the fact that 'she is limited to the physical condition of a teenage girl' (quote).

I was gonna say that, but you got it. Also, I think 66P is Phase-4's Chifu P+K. Take a look at Phase-4's command.

EDIT: It's actually Helena's 66P.

As much as I want it to be Leon's pretty sure you got it right with Tina's 46P.

And for the sake of complete listing Mila's default PL is 33P+K.

4T and to crouching foe's back 2T are both from Bass. (4T is taken from DOA2/3)
Thanks! The '???' section is gone now.

What I noticed in the Command Training video is that at some point (when the player had to do her BT moves), the player did BT K. It was used in a juggle and had refloat capabilities. Does anyone know which move that is?

EDIT: The move is done at the 7:32 mark in the command training video

I played Brad and Zack in 4 so I'm liking what I'm seeing. Also I feel like she is the Nyotengu to Zack, Jann Lee, and Brad Wong, so they won't be seen in future DOAs. All is going according to plan at TN...

But seriously how are these leaks getting out? Everything's being leaked except the actual game :p
