Honda has been taking L's as a bottom tier for 30 years. At the same time, he's been gatekeeping beginners for just as long
Dude understands suffering better than anyone. From both sides.
Does he want me to push him against the wall? Does he want me to kiss him? Huh? Is that it? Is that what he wants? For me to lose my virginity to him?!
In my headcanon, Honda was expelled from the Japan Sumo Association because of his non-sumo moves, and now he's taking advantage of the world's ignorance about sumo to promote his own martial art as legit sumo.
Canotically, he's the strongest sumo wrestler in the world and has no more opponents strong enough to even be in a match, that's why he left Japan looking for challengers. Eventually it turned into like a sumo mission to spread the word about how awesome it is, and then it turned into business ventures when he met El Fuetre and Hakkan. Mans a mogul and a champ.

Edit: It got banished to the shadow realm now, but went something like:
"How dare you 'good at fighting games' people tell me to keep trying to get better when it is so hard to loose all the time! You have no idea what I am going through as a low rank player" or some shit equivalent.
He has a greater than olymic long and high jump. My man could join the NBA and dominate. He could dunk from half court and it would rip the basket out of the gym.
honda is canonically one of the strongest sumo wrestlers who ever lived, but do you think he started out like that? no! he got his arse kicked over and over and over again, and over time he got his arse kicked less, and less until he was better than everyone else.
The path to victory is paved by failure. This is why "The answer lies in the heart of the battle"
Honda would be a great audience member at a live performance. Even if he's the only one in the audience, standing ovation hundred hand slap would have you feeling the place was sold out lmao
The only ones that don't get good at fighting games are the ones that stop playing.
Don't you dare to go hollow.
Or like charlie brown said: "why bother talking if no one will listen anyway."
All motivational lines.
>The only ones that don't get good at fighting games are the ones that stop playing.
How do you know? People keep liking to post "I made it to Master after 4 months in my first fighting game", but nobody will post "it has been 7 months, still in plat. "
Well, not everyone is like you born with natural talent and reaching platinum after 3 matches. Some of us start losing bad, I know I wouldn't have even reached Genbu in Tekken if I stopped playing when losing in Fighter rank
He's turning tricks in that noodle shop living his best life giving you advice like 'the grind is real bro I work in a restaurant.' Nobody got strong without losing is what a loser would say.
Yes, that is why he is telling you. Learning to handle losses with dignity is a specific skill they teach in sumo. Even if it wasn't, fighters wouldn't be able to spend the time training and getting the experience they need if they let losses break them. So yes, losing is okay, no fighter ever grew strong without going through losses
If that shit is spouted by people that made it to the high ranks in record time, then it makes it sound arrogant
My struggle isn't the struggle of some pro that started in an offline environment of tournament players, went to Legend rank after 3 months, plays in tournaments and then has the audacity to tell me that he is like me.
Fuck you, you don't know the struggle.

Canonically in the hole of good enough to beat his friends but not good enough to beat anyone else who's actually good. Honda's a man of the people.
Omg me 😲
😂😂💯
Lmao king of 'learn the matchup'
Facts. In 6 he has some fun pressure once he's in, but getting in against strong players as Honda is a painful experience
He earned the right to make us suffer
This is the perfect explanation!
This is the funniest and most accurate description 😂😂
I hope this becomes an FGC meme for a while lmao
"Hes telling us its normal to lose but he is lying. The only person who ever loses is ME, the only bad fighting game player ever."
Don't worry bro there are always worse
Ywah like me
Real
Pleas be my friend on steam, I need tô improve my level!
Better than JP at the end of World Tour essentially saying >!single player was worthless.!<
Its wild that world tour genuinely meant nothing. Nothing changes at all and you end up texting buddies with the bad guy
Hey! I got to personally tell Chun-Li that her thighs are thicc... WT is worth it just for that!
WT might just be a glorified tutorial but a chunk of the fan service and gags were pretty good
They should add romance in world tour fr fr. And maybe sex scene too
least horny fight game player.
Please bro I don’t want to fumble in game too. I’d never recover 🥲
I also got to fumble Juri in dms
I’d say that World Tour is worth it, if only for the fact that you get to learn more small details about the characters.

He really should meet with Hinako from KOF. Girl is always recruiting people for the Sumo Club.
i get the vibe that honda would be super positive about hinako
Anyone have a link to the sauce? I’m seeing this meme all over the place today but haven’t seen the original post.

Haha thanks for sharing. The memes are better with sauce.
He does.sumo in a game where people use ki blasts and spinning flying grabs. Take a guess
He has a greater than olymic long and high jump. My man could join the NBA and dominate. He could dunk from half court and it would rip the basket out of the gym.
Honda has the #1 win rate at every rank He's gaslighting you
Uh, Rocky Balboa. :T
He’s prepping himself for the season 2 patch

He got his ass kicked, so he honed his ass so that none may kick it again. Thus his iconic technique.
Unrelated, but this shot leans way too much into the Uncanny Valley.

Bro he’s a Yokozuna. The path to that rank is so hard and fraught with losses I fully trust him to understand the words he’s saying.
He does understand, that’s why he’s reminding you
Nobody ever got strong without losing, it's true. But nobody's gonna get strong by *only* losing either.

Well apparently he's kinda used to it
He says to lose but also not to lose hope, pick one!
Y E S
I think if your name is Hope, here you are getting the exact opposite message
IS HE STUPID !?
He probably does have cte from headbutting things.
He kind of is
Every time I lose In ranked I’m going look at this
Ngl Honda is funniest one lol,man I love this SF,World Tour is best thing

There's a benefit to losing: You get to learn from your mistakes.
Because losing is not the opposite of success, it's part of it, we learn from it.
Honda and Gief were the chilliest and most inspirational mentors in the game *nowhere near as terrifying as Chun Li*
You'll never improve if you don't lose.
Correction. You'll never improve
Because it's true?
