Description

Executed by pressing down-forward and Heavy Kick, E. Honda raises his leg and performs an overhead sumo stomp.

Tactics

The move has a long startup, and knocks the opponent down on contact. The Shikofumi can be cancelled into a Sumo Headbutt that goes through projectiles on startup. The move can also be canceled into an Oicho Throw to extend its reach. In Street Fighter V, this attack can be cancelled into E. Honda's V-Triggers or into any of his special attacks, as long as it's in between the 12th frame and the actual attack. In addition, E. Honda can use this attack for an additional OTG (on the ground) hit.

Trivia

• Gan Isurugi from the Rival Schools series has a similar attack, only his is embedded with bursting flames.
• Hinako Shijo from SNK's The King of Fighters series also uses this technique.
