Faster? HUGO IS FASTER?
You serious? have you ever looked at Hugo’s frame data?
Hugo’s JAB has the same startup as most people’s fierce, and just as much or more recovery. his other moves are even worse.
Gief plays MUCH faster than Hugo, as long as the Gief knows what he’s doing. it’s not even comparable. Gief has faster buttons, better walk speed, a moves that shoots him all over the screen at high speed, etc.
And Gief’s EX green hand does way better than absorb attacks, it just flat out goes through them. that’s way better than Hugo’s easily countered armor.
Your statement is invalid.
