Please can someone tell me how to win against hugo players on xbl i cant do anything, yes i am pretty new to this game i play SSF IV most of the time so i dont know much people keep telling me hugo is low tier but one attack and i am gone btw i play Sean,Ken,Elena.
Play lame as fuck, keep him at distance, just pick Ken against Andre
parry something then D.fierce ( with urien ) . solution to everything .
don’t play Sean
I try play ken and keep him at distance but i am usually agressive thx for some help anyway
Crossup ex tatsu
Parry claps
Don’t jump predictive
Stay outside grab range and punish
the only way to beat hugo, is to pick hugo. they need to rebalance and tone him down cause his cr. roundhouse is too damn GDLK. and people thought yun was a problem
Hugo vs. Ken is a 10-0 matchup. Ken just has no chance. Hugo is #1. Chotto wa yaru yone.
Do not parry claps lol, they can change the timing for one and also they can just cancel it into gigas if you parry.
parry claps is the worst advice I have ever heard
dont parry claps
Don’t ever play aggressive against Hugo. Lame it out, spam fireballs, outpoke him, just don’t ever get close. The risk reward is almost always going to be in Hugo’s favor.
Parry claps isn’t really that bad advice but needs some elaboration. As soon as you parry do jab shoryu straight away, and don’t do it when he has meter.
Pick Akuma, do RH. tatsu over and over. Sure they can punish with a 360, but we’re talking online here, and they’re most likely going to try to jab you or something stupid. Also they can’t get past jump fireballs and like to get hit by random jump forward tatsus. Congrats, you have beaten most online Hugos.*

hmm easier said than done sometimes…even as choon ri.
its even worse as gouki…have to play super super gay.
luckily for me, there arent any hugo mains in my area.
as for op, the only thing I can really say about this, is to always be out of his command grab ranges, they are fast as hell.
Ken can outpoke Hugo really well, he just has to lame it out and play it safe.
Dudley is Hugo’s worst matchup. Almost every poke Dudley has beat’s Hugo’s, hell just Dudley’s HK beats anything Hugo can do. Add Backswing Blow and the rose, things just turn real ugly. Watch Kokujin vs Hayao, or Aiku vs Ebara in the Genki Cup. That matchup sucks, and the only reason either Hugos managed to win a round was because the Dudleys fucked up.
i disagree with dudley being his worst matchup.
JUST PICK A TOP TIER
Well, either him or Akuma. I’ve had way more trouble with Hugo against Dudley though.
Dudley is definitely a bad match-up but I kinda fall in the camp with either Akuma or the top tiers being a bad match-up for him.
Anyway, OP. Notice one thing. What does Hugo have to do to really damage you? He has to get in close. Yeah, he has those far pokes in s.strong and cr.forward. s.strong doesn’t lead into much afterwards unless you’re cornered, and cr.forward leads to knockdown, in which case, unless cornered, Hugo has to dash up to apply pressure. Keep distance and slow the game down. watch your reversal opportunities. And for heaven’s sake, learn the patterns!
