SF6 Season 2 E.Honda Optimal Damage vs SA Meter Gain Combo Comparison

Honda does devastating damage with the correct punish combos. But sometimes you can get more damage by building super meter in a combo to end with a level 1 or level 3. This video compares the two routes and their total damage.

I'd recommend doing the optimal damage routes most of the time, as gaining the meter for a level 1 or level 2 will actually decrease your total damage. However, it is better to go for the meter gain (clap loop) route if you need to build a level 3 and have roughly 2 super meter left. Starting with Drive Rush 2HP will build about 105% meter and starting with Drive Impact will build about 120%, while doing optimal damage routes build 40-60% of meter.
