yea that is crazy…its a good way to get through fireballs and…its a good anti air too…hugo is going to be nuts.
They are trying to make everyone playable and competitive. Make hugo have a safe super armor move to pressure and get in…why not
unless Lariat hits crouching people now I dont see how that shit’s safe. Plus u have dem Claps to help u get in, dont see why Lariat should be a derpy approach tool but whatevs, the more the better…
And i believe theyre giving him some sweet stuff to compensate his size, Nigga is gonna eat instant overheads for DAAAAYS.
I can already see the “Hugo only” combo videos in my head and how characters will have their BnBs and their “Hugo” BnBs… god it’ll be so disgusting =/
also Lariat’s animation looks weird as fuck… the way they bounce up in front of him makes no sense tbh, if a giant is running towards you with a clothesline and smacks your head you wont fly forward…
I’ll miss the beautiful 3s Lariat =(
This pleases Batman.
Especially if you can chain your airmoves until you land. It’ll be MvC3 Sentinel all over again.
He smacks them in the head so hard that the rest if their body gains upward momentum, launching them. MAKES SENSE TO ME!
yeah, essentially monster lariat in real life

hits so hard they flip
Still not super jazzed about his SPD damage, but everything else looks great. Being able to do 50% with a braindead easy combo into super is going to make him super threatening to any character with below 50% life.
now see in the video clip they flipped BACKWARDS, just like his 3s Lariat. Fuckin’ Ono Logic ruining the lariat ~_~
I gotta say, with the revised moveset and the new walkthrough video…Hugo is looking pretty damn good right now.
I play Nemesis and UMvC3, and so much of Hugo’s current style is reminding me of his.
Say what you will about the look of the lariat. As a pro wrestling fan, every little step Ono and company take to make the moves look better is a vast improvement in my eyes. King in a SF game was good enough, having Hugo move like he does is just icing on the cake.
Hugo is going to be the first character I play as. SPEED GEMS ALL DAY!!!
I agree, its like Ono and the team relooked at Hugo’s moveset, and restart it from scratch just to make it better. he seems to be a worthy opponent.
not to excited after the Fingercramp stream mentioning that Hugos SPD range isn’t that great, but hopefully the safe pressure from Palm Bomber and Monster Lariat will be good for baiting out a mashed DP for SPD punishes or SPD set ups
Wait, they flip FORWARD in this? Totally missed that.
well theyre flipping backwards but theyre flipping in front of Hugo and going upwards which looks weird as fuck.
well if Andre the Giant at you with a Monster Lariat, how would u flip?
back wards and twirl in the air a couple of times
just like in the video posted, you wont be flipping in front of him, you’ll be flipping but behind him…
its really a very minor detail but it still bugs me lol.
Here is Justin Wong’s thoughts about Hugo
Wish this game would come out already I have no patience. Hugo+Rolento= Mad Gear 4 LIFE!!!
I’m seriously liking Hugo’s lariat more every day. LARIATS.

The more I think about it, the more I believe that what we have here are distinct flavors of “big” characters. If you like to get up close and be an SPD specialist all day, go for Zangief. I would go for Hugo if you want to have a longer reach and LARIATS.

I’m sorry, I can’t hear your hype over the sound of my LARIATS.
