"Hugo question."
, posted Fri 21 Nov 21:06
Recently I've had a fighting game ideology flip and I've been really interested in the larger throwing characters (I used to hate them). I'm trying to get better at Hugo right now (his SvC incarnation more specifically) and was wondering if anyone knew how to do the move where he first throws the character against the wall and then grabs them and snaps them in two over his back/shoulders.
Also I was wondering if anyone had some strategies that would be useful. I know Rugal loves these types and I'm interested in getting better. I can combo 360 throws out of standard moves sometimes (about 50-50) and can string Zangief's Final Atomic Buster out of his spinning lariet in MvC2 (but I think that's the easiest one of these to do.) I'm also thinking about digging up either SF3 or SFA3 and giving R.Mika another shot. Any playing strategies would be greatly appreciated!

+ Kick
For the version let them fall a bit before attempting it.

follow with . the kick depends on how far away the guy is from you after you throw him, although you'll probably be using most of the time after that throw (just test it out). if you have a meter, try following the grab with . again, the kick depends on how far the guy is from you, but you'll most likely be using most of the time
i can't give you too many strategies for his SvC incarnation because i don't even know how to use him very well there, but he's my trump card in Third Strike. gimme a sec to think them up

While I love Hugo the big boy is a bit of a mess in SvC. In SvC I've had fairly good luck with F both in reach and priority. His hip press [which got changed to F] isn't nearly as useful as it used to be which is a shame since it was great fun having Hugo attack people butt-first. While his is good as a follow up and as an anti-air [although I've had less luck with it as an anti-air in SvC but the same can be said for most of his moves] the most absurd thing I've found to do with that move is to use it to quickly get across the screen. On occasion I've managed to leap, land right next to someone and go straight into a 360 or 720. That's not the sort of silliness that's going to work all that often -if your opponent sees it coming you're going to get the crap juggled out of you- but once in a great while you can surprise people with that since nobody expects that Hugo knows how to fly.

oops sorry. company came over and i spent six or seven hours playing Mario Kart Double Dash and SvC
anyways, i think Ishmael pretty much summed it up. i finally got used to Hugo and noticed the same things he posted. his ass attack ( in this game) isn't too good here (LOTS OF LAG afterwards ), almost all normals can slice right through his anti-air (), and i can't play the "high/low" game as effectively in SvC than i could in Third Strike (ie. you have to be dangerously close to perform his standing elbow attack, among other things)
i won't bother writing up a Third Strike summary of Hugo since you don't really need one
hey one question. i'm pretty sure this isn't the case, but does anyone know if taunting has an effect on Hugo like it did in Third Strike? and is there any way i can summon Poison with a taunt? i tried out but it doesn't seem to be working

I don't think taunting has any effect. That's one of the first things I tried out since I'm a big grappler fan.
Whenever I play as Rainbow Mika in SFA3 on the hardest level, I usually get pwned by Zangief. It's bad enough that he's already that much buffer than Mika, but the extra damage that a Level 8 CPU does to you... Ouch.

It is. It is also probably the reason the final atomic buster does so little damage in MvC2.

Well, I have noticed that Hugo can do Qcb + C; Qcb + A; cls A; Hcb + D; Qcf + D...I always use the lariat to finish that since it has such a right feel to it.
Also Hugo can do crossup C; cr A x 3; Qcf x 2 + A. It's a damn shame that this combo is SO FREAKING HARD since the moves need to be inputted at light speed. Hugo rocks.

I dunno. If you twirl the stick like an idiot and make him turn red it does a pretty decent amount of damage.
Also thanks everybody for the help! I'm going to dig out my dreamcast and try him again.
