I think people are looking at this the wrong way. She's not just copying moves, but she actually uses the stances as well. Even her idle stance is of Mila. It's clear that this character is unique, in that she really gets into the spirit of the fighters she's mimicking. Notice how when she's doing Jann Lee's moves, she still makes the noises. I like the idea and I definitely want to try her out now.

We're complaining about her lack of originally why the fuck would that help?

Well if she's getting the Bokuho stance, why not give her 33P4P and the throw.

She's quite interesting. You need to figure out how to use her wisely because all of those stances and moves don't necessarily provide synergy with one another.

Oh and just give her Rachel's stomp, thank you~

She's going to force people to study other characters. Just realized this. She has her own stance too. She is interesting, but generic at the same time...

I'm not great with the mechanics of the game but I agree: if Honokee: if honoka really uses different stances from the game, she can easily to become the most complex and versatile character of the roster. Of course one thing is to see it on the paper and another it's to see how the thing will be implemented in the game.
I could see her being popular with tournament players who use multiple characters and those who want to show off their skills. That's how I saw Phase 4 when Team Ninja revealed her and when I tested out her play style. Both characters are flashy, but both characters are also high execution. At least, Honoka seems like she would be high execution because of the moves they gave her. The point of a character having one fighting style is because of the synergy the moves have in combos. But if you have a character that uses every move, you have to figure out what move from what fighting syncs with one another in order to get maximum damage. Damn, she really is unique and interesting, even if the moves themselves are not.

We're complaining about her lack of originally why the fuck would that help?
I admit, mimics aren't original, but she is original to DOA. Raidou uses SOME moves from other characters, but he mainly uses moves from the ninjas. However, he doesn't copy the stances. Honoka copies the stances, makes the noises, etc. It's clear that this is another high execution character on our hands, because having to use various moves from all the fighters effectively in one fighting style is not easy.

Leave it to me to pick the characters with the hardest execution >_<

I don't think she'll be that execution heavy, you just need to know what you're doing and memorize stances besides you play phase, you should be fine

STAHP TEASING ME! lol

She has the bokuho stance, it's confirmed she uses helena's 8k,4pk in combos and i've seen her use helena's k as well

I feel like the only difficult thing about this character will be juggling her with everyone she copies... but other than that- I don't see her having P4/Akira frame inputs so everyone will be safe :p

That's just my theory. For all we know, she could be very easy to use. It's one thing to see a fighting style, but another to actually experience it and play it.
Hopefully cause phase 4 isn't XD

Besides kas my other character is hard to use XD

Not sure if this was mentioned yet as this thread is zipping by but based on the gameplay video she appears to be a midweight
