There’s a reason why I did that video first. I’ll be going over knockdown scenarios next. He has auto correct meaty option select bullshit like a mother fucker. Next vid is for blanka so probably next week or this weekend I’ll work the next Hugo vid.

Bc as i said, many of HUGO’s best options/damages etc require meter. And him having none means he’s free to that pressure, his grab range/startup is bad. So i dont mind if he burns meter on an EX backbreaker bc now he can be rushed and jumped in on forever, also grab/jab pressure all you need. And any kind of corner pressure can be averted with alpha counter which gets him on him back to his crappy wakeup.

I take it you know about the 64123KK OS?<br>
I don’t think so.
I’m obviously not about hiding information so I’ll spill the beans. Think of the balrog OS sweep from his chain jabs in SF4 (lp xx lp+hk). Hugo can do the same thing except much more meaningful. From his low jab chains you can OS low forward (lp xx lp+mk) to punish back dashes. You can also option select ex-backbreaker to punish backdashes, and you’ll end up crouch jab chained into crouch short.
Crouch jab, into crouch short blows up people holding up or mashing backdash (after they’ve blocked the jab). This is great because low jab itself sets up his command grab range perfectly and now there is a deterrent to keep people from squirming. Keep in mind you can hit confirm low jab with another linked low jab.
If crouch jab chain crouch short is hitting, you can easily hit confirm into launcher, or add crouch strong ex-whatever you want.
You can also option select crouch jab into lk lariat and you’ll end up with stand short. This does not punish most back dashes and I’ve yet to find a practical use for it.
Furthermore, you can chain c.lp xx (OS whatever) c.lk xx c.mp > EX mixups if all is blocked. Ex-Meat Squasher will grab them if they stay put. Ex-Palm will hit them GROUNDED if they try to jump and is also +13 iirc on block. EX-Lariat will absorb reversals, store a counter hit (think toward FP), punish backdashes or allow you to safely tag cancel.
The key to this is UTILIZING THE CHAINED LIGHT TIMING, NOT THE CROSS CHAIN TIMING.
The set up for the auto correct lp palm is back breaker > roundhouse lariat (whiff) > lp palm. If timed properly he’ll always meaty and auto correct for rolls so he either has +10 on block or an easy hit confirm if they are trying to jump. The timing is very strict if they don’t roll. This is still in work and I’ve yet to clearly define the scenarios. Also know that he can easily naturally option select giant palm breaker, since it causes so much hit stun and recovers so quickly. This might be a solution if the opponent doesn’t roll and backdashes (OS meaty clap with low forward/ex backbreaker/ex lariat/etc)
In addition, the same auto correct set up works for leap attack and standing HP. Again, still in work.
So yeah, he’s low tier amirite 
Edit: Apologies for the messy post, I know it’s a lot of info and it should be clearer
Short version of the 64123KK OS. I’m working on my own Hugo video (using Bob/Hugo) so I was holding off talking to much but here it goes:
You mentioned EX Backbreaker OS’s. EX back breaker catches several backdashes and any rising reversal (like an SRK). However, when you input backbreaker 64123KK on wakeup, if they roll, it OS’s with EX UltraThrow. And with meter you hit 500 dmg off ultra throw easy. Without you just get a simple 330, which is alot for a command grab.
I really didn’t want to jump on the bandwagon, but until I’m completely confident with 2013 Hugo I will pair him wit Law. He can get Hugo in without a problem, so I can use my setups.
I do have one question:
What does 64123 mean? I guess it’s the directions on the stick, but which direction is 1 etc.?
That would be f,b,db,d,df I think if you’ll follow the layout of a numeric keypad. It’s a motion that will either do Ultra Throw or Backbreaker depending if the opponent rolls or not respectively (I think).
That OS sounds weird. How does it OS between EX Ultra Throw and EX Backbreaker without simply whiffing if they crouch+block for a wasted meter and a punish?
You OS the OS.
Like Safe jump, OPtion select OS back breaker, or sLP option select OS back breaker.
My head hurts. x_x
Hugo Option Selects his Option Selects.
A simpler way to look at it is, you options select with an auto correcting move (except the auto correct creates a different attack).
Let’s just call it what it is. OSception.
Personally I’m still resisting the urge to post a “Yo dawg, I heard you like Option Selects” meme.
Blanka hit confirms along with spoilers for next weeks vid
I really like the style of the video!
Good stuff Jibbo! Hate you to!
I think it’s too cheesy but I’m glad people like it. Trying to throw some personality in there but it’s hard to not sound manufactured. I’m workin on it
Haha yea it IS cheesy, but I kind of like it:P And I do enjoy the commentary rather than just written information!
The commentary makes it flow hella nice while making it easier to understand, and better for sure(or at least for me that is). Keep it up Jibbo!
I guess I’d have to see it in action. It seems like you’d have to be at max jab range in order for the ultra throw to catch the roll.
