so as i am sure you are all aware Hugo got promoted to B+ in japan.
this puts him above Elena, Necro, Ibuki , Alex, Q, Sean, 12, Remy

now i know the math is guessed on this since we don’t have the matchup chart but he had -33 before. so he should be somewhere around where elena and buk buk were at +2 or +3 now.

so even if you move up all his current matchups just 1 spot he is still at : -20

so he substantially improved against at least some of the cast even past moving from 3-7s to 4-6s.

I’ve been feeling for some time now that Hugo is pretty competitive with only a few exceptions…

But is it crazy to think he might go 5-5 with the likes of urien, yang, ken or ryu??

Hes getting those points from somewhere, it might all be from beating the other low tiers now but somehow i doubt it…

Awesome, now I don’t need to worry about people getting up my ass for using a “low tier” anymore. :slight_smile:

If you’re playing with people who actually take offense to what character you use, you’re playing with the wrong crowd dude.

hugo got that upgrade? Where is this listed?

5

im bumping this thread because someone posted in a tachi gigas thread again and it needs to be known that hugo has a whole lot more going for him than that…

HUGO VS. KEN 5-5

HUGO VS. MAKOTO 5-5

HUGO VS. URIEN 6-4

HUGO VS. YANG 6-4

discuss this controversy

i still think dud is 8-2 tho :frowning: :frowning: :*(

discuss as well

To be fair, you can attribute most of that to there being very few Hugos that are all goddamn gurus, but it’s still great news.

Hugo-Yang 6-4 I can easily believe, and Hugo-Urien 6-4 at a push, but Hugo-Ken/Makoto 5-5… no way. I think 4-6 would be generous at best. Just what are Hugos doing right these days? Has there been a shift away from Gigas in SA selection? Or even more rigourous Gigas usage? I can’t see where those figures would come from.
