correct me if I’m wrong but Hugo’s dashes seems significantly faster than zangief in sfxt… and probably is faster than T-Hawks… although I highly doubt this will happen… but if he’s got a decent dash… with a decent FA… maybe doing something like FA lvl 2 (block) dash into mixup will be viable… right now this is non-existent for zangief and t-hawk due to the fact their dash sucks…

on the other hand… i really wonder if he’s really gonna suck at FA… if his throw range is equally as crappy like in SFxT… he might have a hard time just beating focus… question is… if clothesline will break armor or… the clap will…

then there’s Sagat… him being extremely tall i wonder if there will be a bunch of crouching normals getting hit by high tiger shot…

last but not least… since i didn’t play sfxt that much… wonder how he’s gonna handle cross ups especially after he gets knocked down…

Well he will have that insane c.jab range like gief and hawk. c.jab xx ex lariat should deal with focus quite nicely.

I hope his claps removes both low and high tiger shot. Should help him somewhat in the matchup.

In SFXT ex backbreaker autocorrected all the time. And even if you wiffed you would be pretty safe since it sends him flying.

Oh, and you dropped these dots: …

Loketest report from Japan: https://twitter.com/xFatalDMG

He ranked him last of the 4 new characters.

24

About what I expected. Clap being safe is interesting though. Could make him a chip monster similar to Bison.

25

Poor Hugo, I say give one of his normals super armor and make Back breaker equivalent to what it is in SFxT

26

I feel bad for Hugo, I think he is supposed to be the worst in SFxT also.

27

Hugo game plan is to keep pressure on you and he can AA you with ease.
Hard time getting in on opponents is understandable

28

Yeah I have a feeling Hugo’s going to be a fucking nightmare once be FINALLY lumbers up to you and starts his game. He’ll probably have a HELL of a time getting there though. Even more of an “all in” kind of character than the other grapplers. He’s gonna lose his losing matchups hard and ABSOLUTELY SHIT on the characters he beats. Just feelin I’m getting.

29

Not liking reports on how slow he is. He shouldn’t be slower then he was in 3S FFS.

How’s his AA Grab looking? What Ultras does he have?

30

EX Meat Squasher carries all the way to the wall and has super armor, that’s pretty neat. Looks faster than Zangief’s EX RGB too.

31

That’s a gimmick that dudes will figure out on Day 1. If he has a good AA Grab then it might be worth throwing out I guess. Might be more worthwhile to save EX for Red Focus and HP Grab/Ultra Grab them.

32

If he’s indeed gonna focus on corner pressure, then it might be something you need to land from time to time.

33

As is the case with all gimmicks.

34

So, he has the usual Grab and AA Grab Ultra like the other Grapplers. Lame…

At least he gets a crazy mixup game. I’m curious how good his regular AA Grab special and the EX version is though.

35

That U2 looks like it has hella range. Way better than Hawk’s anyway.

36

Probably just as susceptible to getting crossed up though :confused:

Hopefully they’ll let you juggle into it, Ultra Throw to Megaton Press is a classic.

I also like that he has a striking super. That will up his combo damage potential quite a bit, unless he really need that meter in other areas.

37

I DON’T like that it has that much knock back on hit. Even worse if they pop out of te corner.

I don’t think you’ll see much use for the Hammer Mountain super when you have Double Ultra and Red Focus to work with.

40

I see no point in using Double Ultra with Hugo, or any grappler for that matter. Pick U1 for that heavy damage punish, or U2 to cover the air. Picking both means you can’t really do either (people won’t fear U2 as much and jump more than with solo U2).
