AHM NUMBAH WAN - Hugo USF4 thread

[exploid]

Thanks for the info Exploid, glad to hear the clap links to super is in. Don’t know how easy it is to get a HP clap to hit mind you, but that sounds like a great confirm into damage and mixups/frametraps if blocked.

Its hard. People were focusing the claps on reaction after a few games. They are so slow.

If you do c.lk/c.jab into lp clap, it catches their backdash or jumps and gives you juggle to U2 or ex dp.

Meaty or fake meaty claps are viable with setups. If you only go for meaty claps they will just focus/backdash/reversal because its easy to react to.

All these things probably sound great on paper, but the build i played i would say he is the worst (tournament) character.

Hugo is looking very interesting to me, despite the fact that t hawk is being buffed I think I will be dropping hawk for Hugo. Dat DMG! If I had the patience to endure the blanka matcI i think i can make the sagat match (I think this will be the worse for Hugo) work.

[LAU-HK]

I’m sure Hugo vs Blanka will be significantly easier than Hawk vs Blanka.

Block ball = free ultra and probably free Air throw (ex at least)

[RafaelBUrena]

What is the motion for hugo’s U2? (I have no access to USF4 )

[exploid]

same as ryu u2

[RafaelBUrena]

One other thing, I heard that his u2 will only catch neutral or back jumpers, is this correct or is it just that due to the angle its hard to catch people jumping at you? It would be kindof lame if true.

That can’t be right… It would be hella lame if so.

Pretty sure i used it as an AA. However the angel is much more suited to catch NJ, backjump or backdashes. Not to mention in combos. I think his u2 would be too strong if it was a sick anti air as well.

Hugo isn’t hurting for AA options.

I hope it does end up being an angle thing, but I do love the angle and range it has at the moment, saw it chase down and grab a rolento going for the wall. I don’t think I will be going for U1 at all with the options U2 provides. I don’t think akuma will be able to air fireball at all for example.

Just watching the Taiwan location test stream now. At about 1:20:13 Hugo vs Elena… holy crap. His EX AA grab is getting beat out so much it’s depressing

[Texas]

So… Lads.

Hugo footsies: press mp all day

[Noocta]

That was so ridiculous to watch

[Kalote]

That’s strange : i didn’t see any hugo’s combo !! I would have thought that it could at least make a crLK crMK combo, or clap crLP (or crMP) ex clap … i’m veery disapointed to see that hugo won’t be a “combo” character

Except for the ultra throw > clap > backbreacker combo (or U2) and the stLK > super > U2, which seems good, i’m feeling that it will only be a footsy character =(

[jebop]

Spreading Hugo hate before game is even released, never liked the character. I hate you all!

[EMERALDGIGASBUSTER]

Looking back, I got into playing fighters because of SFIII and I played Hugo right off the bat. No doubt I’ll be switching up to him for SF4, though I’ve got really into the endless laughs T.Hawk provides.

Capcom Cup build from Japan (report):

*- Crouching HP hitbox greatly expanded to match the visuals

• Hammer Hook (6+HP) hitbox moved upward with the arm section
• Leap Attack (Jump 22+MK) now airborne 2F instead of 1F; from 4F now lower-body projectile invincible; knock back on air hit changed to how Jump MK hits
• Ultra Throw no longer activates without Back input; 1st hit no longer causes stun, 2nd hit stun increased from 100 to 150
• Meat Squasher simple command removed, without Forward or Back input → through Down inputs → ending with Up input, will not activate
• L Monster Lariat start-up reduced from 15F to 14F
• M Monster Lariat start-up reduced from 19F to 14F
• H Monster Lariat start-up reduced from 24F to 18F
• EX Monster Lariat now has two hits of armor
• L, M and H Shootdown Backbreaker now airborne on 4F instead of 2F
• L Giant Palm Bomber start-up reduced from 19F to 15F
• L, M and H Giant Palm Bomber active frames increased from 2F to 4F

[Doopliss]

15-frame clap is nice, should leave a 1-frame gap from a light and combo from a light on counterhit like T.hawk’s EX Spire. Maybe it also combos after a deep jump-in heavy/splash.

super hyped to play some hugo! out of all the newbies he is defo the one im looking forward to the most.

judging from the trailer he is going to be reaaaallly slow so that means shit footsies and getting zoned out all day so i think to counter this if he has solid damage and a good get of me move he will defo be fun to play. i didnt really get into sfxt or street fighter 3rd strike so ive never really played with him before but from what i know he is a grappler with some overheads and can give people the “clap” lol

IIRC, in 3rd Strike, Hugo’s normal did insane damage alone. I could be wrong, but I remember playing my brother one time and he picked up a random fighter, and was just doing insane damage on my Alex.
