AHM NUMBAH WAN - Hugo USF4 thread

I really hope this list will be the final one. It seems good! I can understand the super damage nerf, but if the utility is better, im all for it.
Im so stoked to play hugo!
Do you guys know if europeans can preorder the dlc with costumes just like the US PSN users can?

Here’s an unlikely scenario that gives you an idea of the new ex lariat power.

Scrubby ryu decides to do a u1 out of nowhere and you have a full bar of life and super.

You do ex lariat to absorb all the hits before you hit him with lariat you red focus hit him with lvl 1 which cause crumple so you can dash cancel into U1 lol.

Hugo might be more popular than you think if you consider the Yun matchup. If Hugo does well against him (and he should all things considered) then you might see some more Hugo relevancy than you might think.

Also wondering how hammer hook is an overhead now the animation looks like he hits so high up. Overhead at least implies you can just crouch block it.

I think it’s brilliant to give Hugo many armor absorbing moves and corner pressure. It makes him even more different than other grapplers.

Haggar could be the next unique big grappler i would like to see one day. He can be rekka style who can pick up the Pipe. Like Cody does with his knife. Which gives him access to a projectile. (Always annoying to hear when people say he would be a zangief clone) when he played pretty different in MvC3 but with rekkas and a pipe he would be even more different.

I think hugo will be a great counterpick against yun players in tournaments, so yeah i think he will definetly see play.
Not only that, he’s big and menacing , of course new players will play him :).

It’s pretty cool you can ex lariat , fadc into u1, ex against a zoner, they jump back, fadc into BB, U2, it seems really cool to try! Even u1. Ex lariat, fadc backdash to save yourself from a punish maybe? It’s gonna be so fun to try him out! GOnna be grinding it out with a friend.

And now with online trainingmode? you can directly jump into training mode online and skype with your buddy, awesome stuff!

They mentioned other glitch fixes, so I don’t see why they wouldn’t mention fixing MS.

On the note of Hammer Hook being an overhead, it’s possible it whiffs on most crouchers, but maybe it hits a few… Like Hugo himself.

Also, to the people talking about EX Lariat to RFA, surely EX Lariat knocks down on hit? And on the note of it being super cancellable, maybe you get your bar back if you run through something like a Metsu Hadoken? XD

I really dont see MS restand as a glitch … it’s in the game for so long and could possibly get fixed very easily (no juggle state, hardknockdown, finish).
restanding the opponent at this point really seems to be working as intended

I’m thinking that they may have intentionally done this in light of the delayed wake up mechanic taking away some of hugos options and okie.

Here’s to hoping :slight_smile:

It’s definitely a glitch, or rather, an unintentional oversight. That doesn’t mean they have to remove it though, El Fuerte had his since vanilla and they haven’t touched that one.

my understanding of it is you can rfc on whiff or mid run animation so you don’t have to wait for it to connect

on hit or block now EX Focus-, EX Red Focus and Super Combo-cancellable”

Maybe it’s just so when you hit them in the air or just when it’s blocked?

Ah ok my mistake

On the note of f.HP, apparently it was an overhead before, but now isn’t anymore.

Hmm. Sort of like SFXTekken. Nice.

My motivation to keep playing AE 2012 is dwindling. Hoping Hugo brings the hype back for me.

ill be sticking to geif and hawk but hugo might be awesome to play.

Yeah will be good to play Hugo in this series. At last! :slight_smile:
