Real Bout Fatal Fury 2/Hon Fu

Introduction

Spam Sky of Fire A. That's it, that's the character.

Okay seriously, Hon Fu is just kind of okay. He does have some good buttons, decently damaging chains, and a relatively consistent pursuit attack but he doesn't particularly excel in either of those regards. Actually, he doesn't really excel at anything outside of having arguably the best DP in the game with his light Sky of Fire(623A). Thankfully, Sky of Fire is good enough that you can center your gameplan around it, because the rest of his moves are designed to be gimmicky and annoying rather than good. There aren't many things Hon Fu can do that others can't do better so he has to work a bit harder than most, but if you really like Jackie Chan or just like spamming DP you'll have a good time.

Pros	Cons
Sky of Fire is just that good Good chaining ability and combo damage Can generally get in if he wants Sometimes people just don't know how to deal with him	Lame mixups Slow and bad P-Power, despite being a Breakshot All sorts of unsafe stuff, including Sky of Fire It's easy to Breakshot his offense

Normal Moves

Standing

5A	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Cancel BS Juggle 8 3/11 4 4 8 4 0 HL Y - - Excellent range for a far jab. Chains into 5A>C for decent damage but the latter hit can whiff at father ranges. Hitbox is pretty high so it's likely to whiff on smaller characters and those crouching (which is a common issue with Hon Fu).

5B	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Cancel BS Juggle 10 3/10 6 5 13 -2 -6 HL Y - - Decent poke that doubles as a starter for his 5B>B>C chain, which sends him airborne and ends in an overhead which can be input late for mixup shenanigans. That's assuming your opponent is respecting your offense, however. You can shave a frame off the recovery with an FC.

5C	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Cancel BS Juggle 23 6/21 8 3 28 -5 -10 HL N - - Decent range and damage, but the hitbox ends just before the tip of the nunchaku. Narrows much of his hitbox aside from his extended arm, making this a decent footsie tool.

n.5A	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Cancel BS Juggle 8 3/10 5 3 9 4 0 HL Y - - Hon Fu's fastest starter which goes into the majority of his chains, though the hitbox is somewhat high. You'll want to mind the spacing, as Hon Fu's chains can have problems when you're too far out.

n.5B	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Cancel BS Juggle 10 3/10 7 4 12 0 -4 HL Y - - Looks like a low but it definitely isn't. Has a significantly lower hitbox than n.5A and goes into all the same chains aside from n.5A>C>C so it can be seen as an alternate combo starter.

n.5C	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Cancel BS Juggle 10*2 4/10*2 8 7 16 3 -3 HL Y - - Hits twice with a slightly upward hitbox, but it's quite safe and can be made +3 on block and +9 on hit with a feint cancel. Unfortunately due to its upward hitbox, it can whiff easily on smaller characters.

Crouching

2A	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Cancel BS Juggle 8 3/10 5 4 7 4 0 HL Yes - No Not a low, sadly. Basically a crouching version of n.5A with slightly better recovery that can link into itself, n.5A and 5A. It's also an alternate starter for all the n.5A chains aside from n.5A>C>C.

2B	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Cancel BS Juggle 10 3/10 6 6 9 1 -3 L Yes - No Hon Fu's fastest low despite appearances, with pretty good startup and decent range. Another alternate n.5A chain starter.

2C	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Cancel BS Juggle 23 6/26 8 3 20 - -6 L Yes - No A cancellable sweep. Hon Fu's most threatening low. The range isn't the best but since it can be made +1 on block with a Feint Cancel this is actually a pretty great tool for Hon Fu.
