vs Remy?

Classic Fighting Games Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike

So, I’m starting to learn Hugo. I play a lot with my good friend who uses Remy, and he routinely kicks my ass by literally just spamming the hell out of sonic booms and turtling/mashing pokes like no tomorrow. I’m reduced to just approaching super cautiously, or just waiting till he gets close and try to punish when I block his kick move thingy, which sometimes works.

Keep in mind that vanilla SF4 Gief was my first grappler, so going from him to Hugo is a huge difference because I see he has to put up with way more bullshit than Gief does. Any tips?

Just parry his sonic booms if he’s far, don’t jump over the booms if you’re close enough that he can flashkick unless you’re ready to parry.

Move him to the corner and watch him squirm.

This is a pretty bad match-up for Hugo. You’re going to have to do a LOT of parrying to get in there, but once you do, put on the hurt. Here’s two matches of Remy vs Hugo for reference. It’s a hard match-up, I came close to losing both times.

I particularly like the commentary in the first one.
