R1F frames are really fucked online, regardless of platform. I've taken to mostly opting for defensive options even when I have the faster poke speeds.
I'll be honest, I still have no idea what Honoka's frames are. Ain't no one got time to study that. This paint won't watch itself dry.
Kasumi's 6P will always beat out Christie's and Honoka's 6P in neutral because Kasumi's does more damage.
