Perfect parry the headbutt ("just perfect parry lol") and try to find a consistent normal or special move that will beat the buttslam like Ken's DP.

The buttslam is harder because they all have different timing.

Marisa can use Gladius to armor through and punish.

The key point is just to remain calm and don't rush - they want to bully you into big buttons and then hit you with DI.

Parry headbutt, if you normal parry saves you a drive bar, if you perfect parry you get positiong/oki.
DP's beat headbutt, hard to do on reaction, not impossible if he's predictable. Also some will try to use it as oki, so you can always be buffering DP when you get knocked down if they try it.

Buttslam you can neutral jump if you think he's gonna and grab. Don't do this after he's knocked you down tho or the buttslam will ♥♥♥♥ you up.
You can DP it, but he can change which side so it's hard to DP or crosscut on reaction, you can just parry this too.

I just play patient, walk towards him getting ready to parry, or do a hard read with air grab or DP

Edit: O yeah he's plus after buttslam, so block or EXDP

Use your characters anti air for the butt slam. Parry the headbutt.

You can say that again.

If you are not in Diamonds yet you can bait long range headbutts and DI it. If DI is done quickly enough Honda can't DI back.

No, I'm Gold. Not really planning to leave it as I like gold theme :D
But anyway, I play with people that way above me.
And have no clue what to do. If I Drive Impact rush, they jab me after first hit (DI, hit and they jab me out of follow-up). If I AA, they hit me. If try to block on reaction, I get hit.
If I grab, they tech. My techs are basically non existent at this point, etc.

No, I'm Gold.
As Chun Li keep distance and spam fireballs. Gold Hondas will have big trouble with that.
If Honda do his headbutt then do a Drive Impact. It's the big red slow counter move - not the green fast one called Drive Rush.
At closer range do jump attacks as you have some of the better jumps in the game.
Also never attack after blocking Honda's buttslam. When he drops on you he is plus on block and his attack will always win. You can air throw him out of it but it's not easy even for very high ranked players. I would just block it and whatever comes after it. I don't think Chun Li has a good anti air against that move.

If you want to improve you need to adapt. Focus on a single most difficult move first. Most people lose to Honda because they don't know how to counter his buttslam and headbutt. Check YT how to counter these two moves. Not the whole Honda what is 3 moves. ;)
