Description[]
Executed by pressing down and Medium Kick during a forward jump, E. Honda spreads his arms and legs out wide and lands stomach-first on top of the opponent.
Tactics[]
This move is one of E. Honda's cross-up attacks. It can be ambiguous and easily linked into some of his combos. Additionally, if the opponent does block this move, E. Honda can keep his opponent on their heels by mixing up his pressuring normals with his command throw. However, this attack needs to be done as close to the ground as possible in order for him to have optimal frame advantage, even on block.
