Sumo Smash

The Sumo Smash, also known as the "Sumo Splash" and informally as the "Butt Slam", is a special attack performed by E. Honda. Executed by charging downwards and then pressing up and kick, Honda will soar diagonally forwards into the air and then come crashing straight down, butt-first (and preferably right on the opponent's head). How far upwards and forwards Honda soars before slamming down is determined by the strength of the kick button used. The attack can hit the opponent while Honda rises AND while he crashes down, making it more difficult (though certainly not impossible) to counter in mid-execution than some other aerial moves. For example, it can be contrasted with the Shoryuken, which leaves the practitioner totally vulnerable during descent.
