DOA5LR Analysis of Honoka's Moveset

[GreatDarkHero]

2H+K...
Honoka was seen using those drop kicks during the trailer and during the leaked game play footage that took place against Marie Rose...

 

[Koyomi Araragi]

I was hoping she'd be underused like the rest of the newest editions since I planned to main her from the start, but she's catching a lots of peoples interest now. I wonder how many Honoka players I'll see in the long run.

Having Bokuho alone is scary enough, but apparently she has Leifang's 3P+K. As Someone who mains Leifang I know just how scary that is. One of the best crushes in the game..

Salad tier indeed.

Her idle stance looks a lot like Mila's IMO? I don't really think it counts as original.

Problem is that she'll end up being another one-man-army character and people will figure out her weaknesses and unsafe moves. Now, unless they go out of their way and change the entire frame data for her inherited moves, I don't see her being a major threat, because 90% of the moves she inherited are well known to be unsafe.

All the bko transitions except for 214p+k are unsafe and can be thrown. The dragon and Crane stances are also one of those things you'd want to transition to from stun.

That's not Mila's power launcher: it's Hitomi's Tensho.
Hitomi's:

Salad's:

I DOUBLE-POSTED!!!

I don't think frame data matters too much in this game as long as you have abusable strings like 6K2K/6K. If you don't have lots of shit that can be delayed or mixed up is when you have to worry about frames (see: Phase 4, who has none of the above)

Also am I right in that there's literally like TWO unique moves to Honoka? And one of them is basically Alpha's knee?

Her mixup potential is huge though and I think that's her biggest strength. Your opponent will have to react quickly to the beginning animation because she has so many options (giving her Lisa's 6K is ridiculous imo). I think she will be a major threat.

My rants and rages are now done in private groups. Same goes for my objective analytics, as well.

I was going to reupload her command training with a special bonus, too. But as per TN's request, I held off (not that it made a bit of difference, but I'd rather they not loathe me for various reasons).

@Brute
I was aiming more for the double post but okay.

I've heard and seen that a lot, but cheap mixups only take you so far, but it's definitely a plus. It's just that those don't necessarily make or break characters.

I honestly don't think she has anything beside her taunts as unique moves.

I been looking for a good salad gif for Gomez before I went through editing them all. But I guess if you want it done now, I can give the usual treatment...

 

[KwonJigglypuff]

They really had some weird salad gifs on the internet

This perfectly sums up the whiners.

No. They'd be raging at the salad, not just declining it.

66K* ^-^

... thought this might be useful
EDIT: credit to gill hustle, and you'll have to actually go on youtube to see it.. sorry

 

[XZero264]

In the Brad stance she had Rig's bend P and I'm sure at this point her 33K is Rig's as well.

 

[GreatDarkHero]

God damn... so she has other characters' moves within the stances other than the initial moves that were part of the stance for the respective character. What kind of monster is this...?
