Street Fighter 6 Player Discovers Wild New E. Honda Combo Featuring Triple Sweeps

Sweeps in fighting games typically bring interactions to an end—especially in Street Fighter 6, where most characters can only combo into sweep as a final knockdown finisher. But every now and then, a character has a hitbox or animation quirk that opens up something unexpected.

That’s exactly what lab monster Jick_D uncovered: a bizarre and flashy combo where E. Honda lands three separate sweeps in one sequence.

🥋 Why Honda’s Sweep Can Hit Three Times

Honda’s crouching heavy kick appears standard at first glance, but the animation tells a different story. When Honda swings his entire body forward and twists, the sweep’s hitbox extends behind him, giving it a unique backward-hitting property.

This backward hitbox is the key that makes the entire sequence possible.

⚡ How the Triple-Sweep Combo Works

To make the combo function, the setup requires very specific timing and positioning:

• Honda anti-airs Akuma’s divekick by crossing under and Drive Rushing into a sweep.

• Because the sweep hits behind him, it pops Akuma up in a way Honda can chase.

• Honda then performs three additional Drive Rush cancels, landing a sweep after each one—four Drive Rushes total.

The result? A hilarious, stylish juggle made up almost entirely of sweeps.

🎯 Does This Make Honda Better?

Short answer: not really.

While the tech is extremely fun and shows off how quirky hitboxes can get in SF6, Honda’s low-tier struggles don’t magically vanish because of a fancy combo that requires:

• A specific anti-air scenario

• Four Drive Rushes

• A backward-hitting sweep hitbox

• Tight execution most players won’t use in a real match

But even if it won’t shake up tournaments, it’s the kind of discovery that makes Street Fighter’s lab community so entertaining.

🧠 Final Thoughts

E. Honda is unlikely to skyrocket up the tier list because of this discovery, but the triple-sweep juggle is a perfect example of SF6’s expressive combo system and how deep labwork can get. If you’re a Honda loyalist, it’s the perfect flex clip to drop on social media—or just a fun bit of tech to test in training mode.
