I did the standing gigas for the first time!!! And I was doing it consitantly till my arm got tired!!! you wanna know the relief of knowing u can pull it off hugo players on an american stick… I found weird stuff about how u can do the gigas… like one is 360 and u can finish off the direction right before the 180 but it only works on jump ins and sometimes work on standing… but the way i was pulling st.gigas was just doing it really fast like the jap man says… his high jump has start up so u have to finish the motion before he jumps… i know once I keep practice at it I will get the st.gigas to the point that I can use it in real fights…
I know this topic has been beaten to death, but I just thought of a really simple way to explain how to do it (it worked for me and I’ve never been able to do it before).
The “normal” way to do a standing 360 (my way, at least) is to go from forward to up and press punch before Hugo jumps (270 degrees instead of 360). If you can do this (and I would hope you can if you’re looking to do a standing 720), it’s not a big stretch to go from forward all the way around to forward (full 360 degrees) and then press punch. You can work your way around in quarter circle increments (start with 270, try to do a full 360, then try to do a 450, all of which still give the Moonsault), until you do a 540, at which point the Gigas comes out. The good thing about this is that you move the stick faster for each one, so you get a feel for how fast you have to spin it to get the Gigas. The trick, for me at least, is timing it so you press the button immediately after passing 540 degrees, in time to not get the super jump. If you get a Moonsault, you pressed punch too soon; if you get a super jump you pressed it too late.
Also, I haven’t read the thread in a while, but in case no one pointed it out yet, the reason you can do a 360 and then a 180 instead of a full 720 is because the minimum rotation for the game to register a 360 is 270 degrees, and mathematically there’s no difference between doing two 270 degree rotations or one 360 and one 180 (it doesn’t matter which direction you start the 360s from, and both add up to 540).
HOLY SHIT !!I can do Standing Gigas!! Those charge partitioning, skipping forward direction stuffs won’t help. Just spin the stick real fast and that’s it. Have to keep practicing it till I can do it everytime I want hehe.
I am looking for videos of people doing either a standing gigas and walkup gigas in a (real) match. I read the thread about these and it seems possible, but I have (in my limited searching) not been able to find a clip in a match. I figured there is a few of Hayou, etc. that were amazing that I am just missing out on. Can any of you guys link me to a few videos?
its technically possible to do both but why would you want to do that??? hugo has no good kara throws AT ALL and anyways his jab 360 has good range so yeah…nothing good out of trying to kara a 360

idk if this is what you;re looking for on the first one he does a partitioned gigas you know split the 720 into two 360
But there has been some dispute on the second one he does on the match personally I think it was standing 720 since he took way too long to have been able to partitioned the gigas off the jab he did I say this from personal experience I might be wrong
Just a tip for all of you guys starting out on hugo or wanting to learn the tachi-gigas.
In my opinion, ** you’re wasting your time.** A buffered or partitioned gigas is so much more efficient. Even a jab buffered gigas on their wake up would work better.
I’m thinking of a number, and this number is how often you’ll land a tachi gigas on an opponent playing to avoid a gigas breaker. Can you guess what it is?
Alright, I don’t main Hugo but I am very experienced in using him. First of all, I don’t care what other people say about Gigas, how it’s “Not your prime concern to land this move”. Gigas is the reason I use Hugo, because just like Kara Demon, it has so many set ups that can leave your opponent in fear THE WHOLE MATCH. Tachi Gigas is something I don’t rely on though, because I find that my opponents are generally afraid to approach me point blank, say with an empty jump in. Instead, my absolute favorite way of landing it is to do a dashing Gigas. I cannot express how much I love doing this, because it has not failed me yet. I’ve never seen anyone jump when I dashed towards them, because they think it’s a free hit. If I were attempting a normal 360, it’s likely that their poke will stuff out my 360, but I’ve never been hit out of Gigas if I did it right after a dash. Also keeping in mind the amount of range Gigas has, the dash in can be very deceptive.
i can tachi gigas consistently and let me tell you i have won ALLOT of matches because of using the tachi. i also land tachi more than any other gigas i’ve ever used against experienced players.
honestly this is the way i think of it:
forget about gigas entirely, forget about 360s entirely until you see what type of player they are. why eat jump back roundhouse to the face? why not wait for them to dash in and throw you to get damage because now you can play the grab game for reals.
once they are worried about claps and other shit like that, watching out for tick into 360k or things like that . once they are afraid to jump because you made them fear ex clothesline.
NOW you can gigas. and if you use setups they are going to know and return to the gigas avoid game that you worked to make them stop playing.
the best part of tachi gigas however, is that people don’t expect it whatsoever. even when a player knows you can tachi they don’t expect the tachi generally.
tachi gigas is essential to an sa1 hugo. you need to be able to do: tachi gigas, dash gigas and parry gigas in order to be an effective SA1 hugo in my opinion. if you can’t and you are always relying on setups you are relying on your opponent not knowing those setups.
if you really wanna win with hugo you are going to have to do the 3 gigas’s I mentioned and red parry consistently.
when you do that , matches that seemed like a huge uphill battle don’t feel so bad anymore and in fact if your opponent doesn’t respect your gigas or your red parry they will be easy wins for you.
now if your opponent is going to let you land setup gigas breakers thats great! but that doesn’t mean that you stop leveling up so that when you fight someone who can avoid those setups you just lose.
learn the tachi gigas, its not that hard, its possible to get consistent (and fucking it up isn’t even that dangerous compared to fucking up other techniques), it makes your hugo scary ALWAYS instead of just in setups and the best part is it feels REALLY GOOD to land one.
just learn it, instead of making excuses why you don’t need to learn it.
if you don’t need it thats cool for you, but does hugo as a character benefit from it? tremendously!
