Real hot, innovative stuff shown by both these Hugo players.
whats up everyone… Im out of the austin san antonio area in tx… Im a hardcore hugo user its good to see others like me… just bumping this thread…
Just inputing some sitautions for partioned gigas (AKA bump)… none garaunteed, just little tricks.
Point blank s.:hp: (overhead), during overhead input :r::uf::u::ub::l::db::d::df::r: (hold :r:), walk into gigas range (a step), :df::d::db::l::ub::u:+:p: for Gigas.
After close knockdown, :r::r: (dash), during dash input :l::ub::u::uf::r::df::d::db::l: (hold :l:), after they get up input :db::d::df::r::uf::u:+:p: for gigas. I like this one because you walk back out of throw range, and if they reversal you usually block it.
When more than half screen away I like to input 360s during my whiffs (clap, LP, etc) ending at back… if they jump, I try walk back if I’m at the right range (jump attack whiffs) and grab them with Gigas when they land. It looks sexy. 
after a jump in attack do full circle, walk forward after they block recover grab dat ass!!!
cross up splash, after u land dash back… gigas!!! dash back is the max range of gigas… try it out :badboy:
defensive gigas… while ur waking up from a knockdown… :hcb::ub::u::uf::r::df::d::db: and hold so ur blocking, this makes sure there not baiting ur gigas on wake up… if they don’t jump… :l: :ub: :u: :p: and u got em!!!
just sharing some tips :karate:
I will definitely try that… Sounds ghetto but I know it’ll definitely work at least once. (just like the rest of them)
Got anymore Gigas tricks? They all work at least once…
Once??? aww come on u gotta have more confidence than that with hugo… thats how I get my wins… back dash is faster than forward dash and its short it will throw opponent off at the right time… gotta get em on the defense like everytime u do a cross over attack after u land just to get em use to going on defense after a crossup… its all mind games…
So something like: Cross up with splash -> Dash backwards -> Gigas. ?
I just saw the previous post. oops.
Anyway does it work with all punches, or only light punch? Guess I could try it for myself.
any punch, gigas is one attack no matter what punch u use…
Well i try all, dc, ps2,ps1, saturn (all 3) xbox, Arcade Stick and no standing 720* unless they try to kara throw me if Im Hugo… if they throw a move it automatically makes Hugo block so i go into 720* and they go to the ville from there… what ville?.. Looserville home of ken, makato, and urien…

oh yeah, why was I thinking earthquake bomb?
another gigas trap that i use is jump towards them with his mp, thats his best air move imo… the jump mp hits at a downward 45 degree angle making hit a very good air move… but if ur too close to them while jumping in u can time it so the opponents head will inbetween his finger tip and hugos body making the mp whiff… so u can do this land and gigas creating a sort of trap… its hard to explain. but if the opponent knows ur going for the gigas and jumps the mp will connect causing that little slow down that happens when u connect but if there is no connection and u land and instant gigas almost trap like… its hard to explain but i know what im doing when im playing lol
I think I know what you mean. You want to “freeze” them without hitting them…
a la whiff j.RH into SPD/FAB with gief in ST.
no not that, u do the mp as ur going down but it will whiff if at right distance because of the way the mp hits, its a v shape hit box so if u can time it right the opponents head will be inside the V making the mp whiff… it forces the opponent to go into block animation… well if u cant understand never mind lol… thats one of my signature setups 
:karate:
V shape? Head inside of it? We’re talking about j.MP here right? >shrugs< Got a vid?
Either way, is it different than: jumping with an attack that makes them go into block, or hits if they jump, land into unblockable throw?
Here’s another one for those who can’t tachi gigas:
In corner, Nuetral LP+LK (throw), juggle with d.MP (or whatever), during the MP input 360 (:r::u::l::d::r:) and hold :r:, when opponent lands complete the 360 (:d::l::u:+:p:) for gigas.
I use jumping heavy punch rather than middle, because it takes longer to come out, and the opponent still goes into block animation.
wish i did have a vid…
yea tachi gigas is nearly impossible to pull off an american stick…
the whiff a move, walk forward into gigas was discovered by yours truly (ask mopreme) I was doing that years before it became big time… :karate: glad hugo is getting more recognized finally…
>yea tachi gigas is nearly impossible to pull off an american stick…
sorry I can’t agree. I use mass 360 and I can assure you it is far from beeing impossible. It is possible and it just requires good practice.
oh yea i know now cuz I can pull it off now(not consistantly though)!!! have to be done really fast before he jumps thats like doing the longest joystick command in the game and you have the fewest frames possible to pull it off!!!
does lp+lk nothing but air then 720 could be consider a tachi gigas?
nice try…
