The Hugo Thread

Since the super in that situation would be done by your second character (Ultra Throw -> Pandora kills Hugo), it will depend on what character that is.

Using st.hk (drop kick) when you see a roll and hold the stick back. Hugo will warp to the other side. Hard to block. If it counter hits you can combo after.

I have all the frame data for Hugo from the Brady Guides…should I upload them to this forum? Could I even do that?

upload it somewhere then link it at the very least

Upload to mediafire and send pms.

Been using Rolento/Hugo, and after playing many different people and match ups, Hugo felt much much much weaker

It’s too early to tell for sure of course, just how he feels so far for me

Every time I hit someone I do get around 500+ damage yes, the problem is actually hitting them and also not getting mauled when your knocked down

Sure I can guess a jump back or try to monster lariat to have so armor and hit you, but both are very risky

All his moves are extremely slow, so when people get close to you they can keep pressuring

I’ll keep with him a bit a think and see if it’s just me, but so far Zangief seems like a much more solid option for a big grapple type

Man i wish his meat squasher had the hurt box from 3S. It used to go through low moves but he gets eaten by them. They also made his standing medium kick able to be blocked low.

Godlike string I’ve been using to meaty people
Stand lp or lk, cr mk, st hp. Super fast high low that they have to block. If they eat the mk the HP whiffs but youre safe and ready to keep mixing up. If they block low and don’t block the overhead you can go into launcher. Only played one guy who’s blocked it consistantly so far

Just write it here, its not against any rules.

i think his main problem right now is that once he gets knocked down he has a hard time dealing with pressure his throws arnt that good either where gief can punish alot of block strings with spd and rbg they jump back from hugo,you miss the grab and then get comboed to death.

ive been using rolento hugo team as well and i have been having alot of success with it… tagging in hugo definitely is the best option from what i gathered so far… i will try to post up videos of my matches soon… as of yet i havent lost more than 5 games over 100 matches on and offline

you can do double clap, But why would I do cMP xx Clap, cMP xx Clap when I can do cMP xx Clap, cMP xx Light Lariat, sLK xx Clap into MK Backbreaker?

I do really enjoy the rolento/hugo team. Rolento’s pressure is good for getting people in the corner and his rekkas are perfect for tagging hugo in to do sLK xx clap into backbreaker. i usually only tag him in in the corner though unless rolento is in trouble, hugo gets more out of a cornered opponent than rolento.

Hey Snakeeyes! Add me on XBL btw you bum…

My post was but because I was on my iPad.

That BnB you mentioned is the one I go to all the time.

I use Strong-Clap kinda of like Ryus Strong-Strong->Sweep. Strong-Clap-Strong-Clap is a frame trap if you do it on their wake up. It beats out mostly everything it seems except DPS. Its pretty fricking stupid.

I like to frame trap people on wake up with clap if it connects. I go for BnB if the second strong connects I do a variation of the BnB

Since you are +10 atleast on block and crouch strong is +1 its really fucking stupid. Ill be honest, its really fucking stupid and I cant imagine how retarded its going to be when we all get are timing 100%…

I actually have been Playing Raven/Hugo

Raven is so cheap in this game…Ravens pressure game is so, so, so good and he covers space soo well. Hugo comes in as clean up duty for me rigght now.

I might gravitate to Rufus/Hugo or Ryu/Hugo…

Hugo to me right now seems like a solid non point character. I have him on point right now because I dont give a fuck and no one knows what the fuck is going on :wink:

i play him second also. if you wanna add me my gamertag’s lesbianxhottie on XBL anyways.

Yah, Hugo can get cheesed out pretty hard but I think he needs a solid point character like, ryu or Rufus to really make him successful. I think ryu\hugo would be a really good team. Or Akuma/Rufus.

did some more messing around with ultra throw in training mode. that’s definitely the move you want people to be afraid of at close range.

Guys I just manually typed up all the frame data for Hugo from Brady Guides and made a post about it. Please forgive me, its the first time Ive tried doing something like this. Help would be appreciated.

Ultra throw sucks.

I think it’s a bit too early to say how valuable this move is. Yea, the clap is good. Yea, lariat is a great combo extender, but to have the option to use this as a combo starter is still there. Time will tell how people use it.

thanks for the explanation, you’ve changed my mind.
