Hugo’s freaking huge though, surely he can land some trades or some other stuff that puts him in a decent position to deal with Sim’s crap?
I am a thunder god
And I hurl THUNDERBOLTS
Hugo looks like Marstorius from Karnovs Revenge
Day 1 purchase on Viking Hugo. Reminds me of that viking dude from World Heroes
620-650 damage combo int super is delicious~ Won a round using it online last night X3
Because of hugos crazy damage of his super, i had trouble finding a useful 2bar combo that did equal or more damage.
What teams are you guys running? Atm playing hugo and akuma. They fit well together.
Jumpin combo: j.splash, c.mp xx lp.clap c.mp xx EX lariat TC j.hk c.mp c.mp st.hp launcher c.jab xx lp.clap mk.backbreaker
More damage than his simple super combo, builds a lot of meter, activates gems and looks painful 
oh you can combo j.HKs from EX lariat TC? thats dope, imma start doing that lol.
I’m currently running Vega/Hugo. Liking the team so far, they work well together.
also, fuck the chaos emeralds, this shit is whack.
Yo Rolento is an annooooying matchup for Hugo, I only played like 3 matches against him but fuck… you cant do anything against this dude, Patriot circle and s.HP both have multi-hits (means you cant use the armor to get in) and they cover alot of space and they’re safe… those 2 moves alone (with s.MP AAs that seem to beat everything…) can keep you out the whole fuckin round.
Obviously this is still super duper early, but looking at Hugo’s toolset I dont see how this can be good for him.
Yeah you can do a jumpin after EX lariat. But it costs 2 bars, so make sure the combo you are following up with does good damage.
You can also do raw ex lariat TC against fireballs. Also, if you just do plain jumpin to launcher after EX lariat it does more damage than the last combo i wrote
If your tag partner has a multi hit reversal that launches, you can tagcancle do a jump forward bodysplash, c.jab xx mp.clap mk backbreaker
Its “safe” (they can alpha counter it) on block and gives you free escape into pressure.
Switch cancels are the future. I think Poison may have to go in favor of Rolento or someone else with higher damage.
Still, Hugo combo into EX lariat xx switch cancel into jump in combo back into launcher into more Hugo is soooooooooooooooo awesome.
I don’t have the game but does ex lariat > switch give enough time for a character to charge their charge move up untill the flash, dash out and get a crumple with their crumple normal?
All characters have diffrent charge times. But no, you can not do a full charged super with anyone after ex lariat. Some characters can probably do a free ex move.
After steves dash mashinegun special hugo can do clap and still have tine to charge a full super. 614dmg for 1 bar
Or 2 jump splashes into super. 730dmg 3bars
not a full charge super. i mean charge up untill the first flash, dash out and then get your crumple normal in.
[media=youtube]3YuzIivBMVs[/media] 1:50.
vega does ex rolling, tags in ken. ken charges, dashes out and combos st.rh for the crumple (it crumples because it gets counterhit properties after a charge)
Ken cancels an ex move with a dash to get that counter no? He doesn’t charge a special until ex and then cancel?
Could not do it with akuma atleast. Not even close.
oh yea, you’re right.
METERLESS Big combo that I found, works anywhere on the screen:
Body Splash, cMPxx LP Clap, cMPxxLK Lariat, sLKxxLP Clap, MK Backbreaker. 517 Damage and you build tons of meter
A page late on that one
How have you guys been dealing with 'sim? He seems like a really rough matchup for Hugo.
i myself lariat though his limbs, and reaction launcher his slides
can we truly call hugo a grappler when his main grab has such poor range?
(midscreen) hcb+k, dd+mk, s.lk xx dp+mk 276 dmg
(midscreen) hcb+k, dd+mk, s.lk xx qcf+kkk 437 dmg
(near corner) hcb+k, dd+mk, s.lk xx qcb+lp, s.lk xx dp+mk 340 dmg
(near corner) hcb+k, dd+mk, s.lk xx qcb+lp, s.lk xx qcf+kkk 485 dmg
(in corner) hcb+k, s.lk xx qcb+lp, s.lk xx dp+mk 333 dmg
(in corner) hcb+k, s.lk xx qcb+lp, s.lk xx qcf+kkk 487 dmg
those are the best ultra throw followups as far as i can see. any clap can be replaced with an EX clap for extra damage
