    This is FANTASTIC.
    The first Honda winpose references the 手刀 tegatana, the hand gestures that the winner in a sumō match makes when he wins and accepts the prize for the winner from the referee. Usually there are three strokes, but some wrestlers choose to draw the character 心 kokoro "heart, spirit" in the air, as Honda does here. Also, the custom is to perform the gesture with the right hand, but some wrestlers (most notably the first Mongolian yokozuna Asashōryū, so it could be a direct reference to him) do it with the left hand.
    The second winpose references the rare and spectacular instance of a 金星 kinboshi ("gold star")¹, that's to say when a maegashira wrestler (aka one of the lower-ranked wrestlers in the upper division) manages to beat a yokozuna: when such an unexpected victory happens, the audience starts to throw their 座布団 zabuton (cushions) all over the place, both to mock the losing champ and to praise the victorious underdog; although it's an action discouraged by the Japanese Sumō Association, the custom of the 座布団の舞 zabuton no mai ("the dance of cushions") persists. We can see Honda had very low health, so his loss was very likely... That's PERFECT.
    You can find various examples of a kinboshi on Youtube. Below is the match between the yokozuna Harumafuji and the maegashira Shōhōzan, who unexpectedly wins against the more expert champion and even starts to cry when he realises what he managed to accomplish:
    You can hear the announcer shouting 危険ですから座布団投げないでください Kiken desu kara zabuton wo nagenaide kudasai, "Please do not throw cushions around, it's dangerous", to absolutely no effect lol.
    Here's Hakuhō (yokozuna) against Okinoumi (maegashira):
     
     
     
     
    ¹ Normally, in sumō a victory is marked with a ☆ 白星 shiroboshi ("white star") and a loss with a ★ 黒星 kuroboshi ("black star"), so a gold star marks a very special victory.

    According to THIS WIKI, Zangief has SIX NORMAL THROWS. With THREE different LOW THROWS. 😍
    Bodyslam + elbow drop is neutral LP + LK.
    Captured Suplex is b + LP + LK.
    German Suplex is f + LP + LK.
    Spinebuster (new!) is DF + LP + LK.
    Russian Drop (his old Atomic Drop? Seems likely, he did it in his trailer after all) is DB + LP + LK.
    Brain Buster (aka the regular Vertical Suplex because the Japanese did confuse the two moves) is D + LP + LK.

    The difference about JP is there's already more substance to his character than Necalli and he's still shrouded in mystery. He has a backstory with main characters like Ken and presumably Bison. Necalli had no backstory with any main characters he just appeared out of nowhere and brought his own story. 
    Is JP an evil boss character? It sure seems that way but everything is still a mystery. Even his win quotes so far don't really show any red flags. If anything we know he literally doesn't like to get his hands dirty so his whole evil persona maybe something his character keeps under wraps. Instead he goes for a  calmer more sophisticated approach until he's pushed to his limit and then he's calling people cretins while choke slamming them implanting Psycho Power bombs in their chest and crucifying them on pillars of spikes

    Miðgarðsorm got a reaction from The Slick Tony in Street Fighter 6 Lounge: The FGC has a crack problem.   
    According to THIS WIKI, Zangief has SIX NORMAL THROWS. With THREE different LOW THROWS. 😍
    Bodyslam + elbow drop is neutral LP + LK.
    Captured Suplex is b + LP + LK.
    German Suplex is f + LP + LK.
    Spinebuster (new!) is DF + LP + LK.
    Russian Drop (his old Atomic Drop? Seems likely, he did it in his trailer after all) is DB + LP + LK.
    Brain Buster (aka the regular Vertical Suplex because the Japanese did confuse the two moves) is D + LP + LK.
    FREAKING FINALLY!

    LOL Russian Drop is a combo kick + DDT. Old Atomic Drop got shafted (never liked it, but it's strange after Capcom showed him doing it against one of his students during Gief's trailer).
    Also, you can CHOOSE whether to add the elbow drop after the bodyslam or not. If you hold the buttons, Gief does the elbow. Splendid.
