I haven’t played sfxtekken in a while, but yesterday I felt in the mood to try some matches online. My team is rolento/hugo, but this time I put Hugo on point as I wanted to try out some new things. It seems like watching Clakey D’s Hugo videos on cross counter is the best thing that I’ve ever done to my game. I don’t know if it was luck, or what, but I didn’t have any problems with anyone - the highlight being two 11000bp players playing ryo and rufus. In the first round rufus raw tagged into ryo and didn’t get the chance to tag back. In the second, rufus gave it a shot, but only managed to hit me with one cr.mp before the game was over. There was also a 6k player that disconnected in round two not wanting to loose bps and quite a lot of perfect rounds. During my 10 matches or so, I didn’t have to tag in rolento even once.
Yes, it shouldn’t be long before people figure Hugo out, but in the meanwhile I’m going to have fun completely breaking opponents’ spirit!
If I had to guess one thing that I copied from Clakey D that made the decisive change, it was jumping way more in close range, which seemed to set most people out. The damage output as well makes it difficult to be able to adapt to a certain Hugo’s playing style before the game is over. Clakey’s style can’t be too similar to the overall Hugo players tendencies yet and when it is, Hugo will have a much tougher time.
I watched those videos yesterday, Clakey D is godlke. Funnily enough, i just came on here to make a thread about him.

The little trick he shows with the counter hit leap attck is amazing. As soon as i saw it i flew over to my ps3 to try it but i cant get it to work for love nor money. I cant link ANYTHING after the counter hit leap attack knee thing. Have they patched this or something?
omg I’m an idiot lol. yeah you’re absolutely right. I’ve been trying over and over again in training mode with the dummy set to standing autoblock. Hitting them while crouching didnt cross my mind at all lol.
Thanks man
Haha, I did the same thing. Couldn’t for the life of me figure out why I couldn’t get it, not even once. I eventually gave up thinking it to be some kind of 0.001f link:P
Anyway, the day after I posted this thread, I tried my luck again and I didn’t do anyway remotely as well, which is a shame as I had hoped I’d finally have some fun crushing after 4 years and hundreds of hours playing sf.
