Background

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Hugo's story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Pre-Final Fight Hugo is a towering man who grew up on a farm in Germany, where his diet consisted largely of potatoes. His mother encouraged him to grow strong and resilient, like a potato thriving in poor soil. At the age of 20, Hugo moved to North America, using his immense size and strength to launch a career in professional wrestling. He remained undefeated in both wrestling and ultimate fighting competitions. Final Fight Hugo, then known as Andore, and several of his family members were key figures in the Mad Gear Gang. In the original Final Fight, Cody defeated the older members in a cage match on the West Side, and Mike Haggar humiliated Hugo, enraging him. In Final Fight Revenge, Andore attempted to challenge Haggar for the mayoral position via a televised wrestling broadcast, but it never aired. Over the years, Andore and his family continued to join Metro City’s major gangs, including a revived, global Mad Gear in Final Fight 2 and the Skull Cross Gang in Final Fight 3. Despite their efforts, Haggar and his allies repeatedly crushed these syndicates, thwarting Andore’s ambitions. Street Fighter Alpha In the Street Fighter Alpha series, Hugo appears in Street Fighter Alpha 2 with a cameo on Guy's stage. In Street Fighter Alpha 3, a billboard on Cody's stage advertises a wrestling match between Hugo and an unknown opponent. He also appears on Guy's stage standing in front of a Mega Man promotional billboard, alongside fellow Mad Gear members Poison and El Gado. Street Fighter IV After leaving the Mad Gear Gang and rejecting a life of crime, Hugo worked as a construction laborer. When a group of former Mad Gear members confronted him, he was uninterested, finding himself homesick and missing his mother’s potatoes. One thug compared him to a potato and struck him, provoking Hugo to violently defeat them all. Motivated, he decides to enter S.I.N.’s new tournament to demonstrate his strength. Following his victory over one of Bison’s artificial fighters in a wrestling ring, Poison approaches him, offering to manage him. Hugo initially refuses, insisting he no longer takes orders. Poison clarifies she won’t boss him but can assist, noting he has “the brains of a potato.” Hugo pauses thoughtfully, which Poison misinterprets as disinterest and prepares to leave, joking that staying too long would make her a potato as well. Excited, Hugo accepts her offer and playfully suggests she can become a potato too. Street Fighter V Poison and Hugo experienced a major falling out that led to the end of their partnership. Later, Hugo returns, seemingly remorseful, and Poison decides to give him another chance as her partner. Street Fighter III Hugo debuted as a playable character in Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact. He was initially planned for New Generation, and a prototype version exists in the game’s data, accessible through special codes or hacking, featuring only his basic moves and an unshaded sprite. Certain attacks on this prototype can cause him to become invisible or freeze the game. At age 20, Hugo moved to the U.S. to pursue a career in professional wrestling, leveraging his immense strength and size. He eagerly joined a tag-team tournament, but his partner abandoned him for a rival, prompting Hugo to search for a new partner within three months. He entered the World Warrior tournament accompanied by his friend and former Mad Gear ally, Poison. In Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, Hugo and Poison launched their own wrestling promotion, the Huge/Hyu Wrestling Army (HWA), aiming to dominate the wrestling world and establish their organization as the top promotion in the sport. Street Fighter 6 Hugo, referred to as Andore, appears as one of the final opponents in the World Tour mission The Fighty Mighty, located in Beat Square near the subway entrance. After training daily to become the strongest fighter, he grows dissatisfied, feeling that his efforts have been meaningless. He asks the player character to "save him" and give purpose to his journey through combat. Upon losing, Hugo accepts that there will always be stronger opponents and expresses a desire to face the player again in the future.

Appearance

General Description: Hugo is an extremely muscular, towering fighter standing just under 8 feet tall and one of the heaviest characters in the series. His movements emphasize his bulk, and his long black hair bounces as he attacks.

Facial Features: Hugo’s eyes are often obscured by shadow, giving him a somber or sad look. During certain animations, his eyes are visible and sometimes lack pupils, though later portrayals include visible pupils. When standing still or crouching, Hugo occasionally exhibits a noticeable twitch or spasm for unknown reasons.

Clothing/Outfit:

• Street Fighter III / Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike: Pink leopard skin tank-top, darker pink jeans, brown boots, and black studded wristbands. He wears a thick chain from the back of his waist around to his hip.
• Shadaloo C.R.I. Profile Art: Pink leopard wrestling jumpsuit with a strap over one shoulder, large black belt, brown boots, chain necklace, and studded bracelets.

Special Features: Hugo’s enormous size and muscular build are his defining traits. The chains he wears around his waist or as a necklace, along with the studded wristbands, are iconic aspects of his visual design.

Alternate Forms/Disguises: His outfits vary slightly between different games and promotional artwork.

Personality

• Determined Competitor: Hugo is driven by his desire to prove himself as the top wrestler in the world, especially after his defeat at the hands of Mike Haggar.

• Dumb Muscle Archetype: Portrayed as somewhat unintelligent and dimwitted, Hugo often displays exaggerated facial expressions and occasionally acknowledges his own lack of smarts.

• Short-Tempered and Proud: He is easily provoked, particularly if he or his close friend Poison is insulted, and takes great pride in his immense size, strength, and muscular build.

• Loyal Friend: Hugo maintains a strong partnership with Poison, which has been tested but ultimately strengthened over time through shared experiences and reconciliations.

• Quirky Interests: He has a peculiar fixation on potatoes, viewing them as a symbol of strength and manhood inspired by his mother during childhood.

Goals

• Stop Cody, Mike Haggar, & Guy (Failed).
• Stop Mike Haggar, Maki, & Carlos (Failed).
• Stop Mike Haggar, Guy, Lucia, & Dean (Failed).
• Show his mom that he is the "biggest potato" (Suceeded).

Relationships

Family

The Andore family (pronounced Ond-Ray, like André) is a lineage of professional wrestlers and among the strongest subordinates in the Final Fight series.

While Hugo is considered the first-born "main" Andore in the series, Capcom’s official sources provide different stats for him and the original Final Fight Andore, similar to how separate profiles exist for characters like Akuma and Shin Akuma.

An Andore also appears in the pit fights of Final Fight: Streetwise under the simple name "Andore," with in-game characters describing him as "legendary," suggesting he could be Hugo. In Street Fighter X Tekken, if a Hugo vs. Hugo match occurs, the victor will remark: "...Andore Jr.?"

Hugo’s father, grandfather, and uncle were all last seen with him in Metro City, though only his grandfather appears again after the Mad Gear Gang’s collapse. Each family member dresses similarly to Hugo but with different colors: Grandpa Andore (G. Andore) wears blue in the original Final Fight and gray in Final Fight 2, appearing slightly more tanned; Uncle Andore (U. Andore) wears dark gray; and Father Andore (F. Andore) wears yellow. Hugo’s father is depicted as much taller than his sons and wears glasses.

Hugo also has two sisters, though their locations are unknown. His mother still resides in Germany and briefly appears in Hugo’s prologue in Ultra Street Fighter IV.

Super Combo Level Gauge

Each time a fighter executes normal moves and special moves, their Super Combo Gauge will build up. Their level will increase when the gauge reaches certain points, and then they will be able to perform Super Combos and Alpha Counter moves.

When performing Super Combos, the amount of damage inflicted by a successful combo can be controlled depending on the buttons pressed. With the Super Combo Level Gauge at full power (Level 3) fighters can perform the Super Combo, using 1, 2 or 3 attack buttons simultaneously to increase or decrease the number of hits inflicted. The more buttons fighters press simultaneously, the more damage will be inflicted but more power will be consumed from the fighter's gauge.

Alpha Counter

←↙↓ + any Punch button

When fighters block their opponent's attack, press the Directional Buttons, ←↙↓, in a smooth motion, then press a punch or kick button (depending on the character). This performs an Alpha Counter attack, which is a quick counter move against their vulnerable opponent. Alpha Counters consume 1 level on the Super Combo gauge.

Block/Air Block

Press Directional Button away from opponent. Fighters can even block in mid-air.

Grab/Throw

Press Directional Button toward opponent, then press either Medium or Hard Punch or Kick button. Some characters may be able to execute a grab or throw move automatically.

Recovery/Escape

Fighters can recover from dizziness more quickly by pressing back and forth on the control pad and by pressing the attack buttons rapidly. Fighters can escape grab moves in this manner as well.

Defensive Fall

Through using the above throw command to reduce damage from throws where the character safely falls to the ground.

Avoid Being Floored

When a fighter is hit by a knock-down move (Dragon Punch, Leg Throw, etc.), press the Directional Buttons, ←↙↓, in a smooth motion, then press any punch button. The character will roll forward and avoid being floored by the opponent's move.

Taunt

Fighters can taunt their opponent through pressing the SELECT button.

Avoid Being Floored

Fighters can avoid falling down from certain attacks, such as a Dragon Punch. By pressing the above command buttons, the fighter will roll forward and avoid being floored by their opponent's move.

Block/Air Block

When the opponent is attacking, press ← on the Control Pad instead of fighting back to avoid taking damage. Blocking also works while the fighter is in the air.

Alpha Counter

When the fighter blocks their opponent's attack, press the above command. This will perform an Alpha Counter attack, which is a quick counter move against the vulnerable opponent. Alpha Counters consume one level on the Super Combo Gauge.

Defensive Fall

When the fighter is being thrown, if they try to throw back at the right time, the amount of damage they receive will be reduced and they will fall safely to the ground.

Throwing/Gripping

Move toward the opponents and press either a Medium or Strong Punch or Kick button. Depending on the character, they may be able to execute a throw or grab move automatically.

Taunting

To do some serious trash talking, press SELECT.

Recovering/Breaking Free

If the opponent attacks the fighter continuously, the fighter may temporarily pass out. The recover quickly, press the Control Pad or any button rapidly. If the fighter does the same inputs while grabbed, they can break free from a grapple.

Super Combo

The Super Combo Level Gauge builds up as they perform moves. When it reaches a certain length, its level increases allowing the fighter to perform Super Combos, Alpha Counters, and Custom Combos.

• X-Ism: The fighter can perform a Super Combo only when the Super Combo Level Gauge is full. Super Combos use the entire gauge.
• A-Ism: Fighters have three levels of Super Combos, corresponding to the three levels of punches/kicks (light, medium, and heavy). The Punch or Kick button pressed determines the power of the Super Combo, and uses a similar amount of the gauge. The higher the gauge level when the fighter starts, the more powerful their Super Combo will be.

Custom Combo

Custom Combos are available with V-Ism characters only.

When a V-Ism character's Super Combo Level Gauge builds up to 50% or more, they can perform a Custom Combo by pressing Punch and Kick buttons of the same strength simultaneously.

• During a Custom Combo, shadow images follow the fighter and attack in the same way.
• Fighters can continue on a Custom Combo until the Super Combo Level Gauge runs out.
• Fighters cannot block during a Custom Combo.
• If the fighter takes damage, the Custom Combo ends.

Alpha Counter

When blocking an attack, press → or ← (toward opponent) + Punch and Kick buttons of the same strength

This counterattack moves uses 1 Super Combo level and shortens the Guard Power Gauge.

Block

• Standing Block: Press → or ← away from opponent
• Air Block: Press → or ← away from opponents (A and V Isms only)
• Croucing Block: Press ↙ or ↘ away from opponent.

Block an opponent's attack by pressing a Directional Button away from it. Use a standing air or crouching block according to the attack. (Air blocks are not available with X Ism).

Defensive Fall

This move works as a throw when the fighter is attacking, or an escape when an opponent grabs the fighter.

Damage Reduction

Press the Directional buttons, Punch or Kick buttons rapidly.

This counter move reduces the damage when the fighter is under attack or blocking.

Guard Crash

The Guard Power Gauge shortens while blocking, or if the fighter is hit with a Guard Crush. If the fighter refrains from blocking, the gauge will gradually recover. If the gauge drains out, they won't be able to block until they recover power.

Punch

There are three basic punches:

Light Punch (JAB)

Press the Y button. The jab is very quick, but does little damage.

Medium Punch (STRONG)

Press the X button. The strong punch does a fair amount of damage.

Hard Punch (FIERCE)

Press the L button. The fierce punch does a large amount of damage, but is slow.

Kick

There are three basic kicks:

Light Kick (SHORT)

Press the B button. The short kick is very quick, but does very little damage.

Medium Kick (FORWARD)

Press the A button. The forward kick is strong and is fairly quick.

Hard Kick (ROUNDHOUSE)

Press the R button. This roundhouse kick is powerful, but very slow.

Close Attacks

Close Attacks are special techniques which can only be used when two fighters are right next to each other. These techniques fall into two basic categories: THROWS and HOLDS.

Throws

Throws allow fighters to grab an opponent and toss them across the room. Some fighters can even do thorws in mid-air.

• Example: It is possible for Ryu to grab Ken and throw him over his shoulder. To do the Shoulder Throw, Ryu must push forward against Ken and then he must push the Hard Punch (Fierce) button.

Holds

Holds allow fighters to grab an opponent and then hit or bite them again and again.

• Example: It is possible for Blanka to bite Guile on the head. To do the Head Bite, Blanka must push forward against Guile and then he must push the Hard Punch (Fierce) button.

Special Moves

Each character has developed his or her own special moves for use in combat.

Regular Moves

Press a Punch (P) or Kick (K) button.

Special Moves

Combo moves made up of a D-Button/Joystick command and a Punch or Kick button press.

Block

• Upper block: ←
• Lower block: ↙

Fighters can perform either a standing or crouching block. Use a right block to ward off an opponent's attack.

High Jump

↓↑ Jump higher than a regular jump.

Dash

→→ or ←←

Parrying

• Standing parry: → (toward opponent)
• Crouching blocking parry: ↓

Press toward opponent for an upper attack or ↓ for a lower attack the moment the opponent's attack hits. If successful, the fighter moves first and takes the advantage.

Quick Standing

↓ The moment an opponent knocks or throws a fighter up into the air, this technique allows them to recover.

Dizzy Recovery

All buttons Recovery from dizziness more quickly by rapidly pressing the Directional Buttons, punch buttons and kick buttons in any random order.

Throw & Grapple

LP + LK simultaneously When close to an opponent, press the Light Punch + Light Kick buttons simultaneously to throw the opponent. Some characters have grab moves instead of throws. Also, input the command the moment the opponent grabs the fighter to escape from the opponent's throw move.

Leap Attack

MP + MK simultaneously Jump lower than a regular jump and attack. Effective against an opponenet who is doing a crouching block.

Personal Action

HP + HK simultaneously Each character has an individual Personal Action with a unique effect.

Super Art

Directional Button/Joystick + Punch or Kick Button A Super Art move is a super powerful special move. As the fighter attacks, their Super Art Gauge gradually fills up. When the gauge is full, the fighter can perform a Super Art move. Each fighter has three Super Arts.

EX Special Move

2P or 2K buttons

When the Super Arts Gauge is blinking light blue, press two P or K buttons while inputting a Special Move command to perform a more powerful version of the Special Move. An EX Special Move requires a certain amount of Super Art Gauge.

Normal Moves

Press the punch or kick buttons to perform normal moves. The actual attack performed depends on the position of the fighter and the button pressed.

Special Moves

Inputting a specific combination of directional and attack buttons allows the fighter to perform a special move. Even if the opponent blocks a special move, they will still take a small amount of damage. Inputting the command for a special move during certain normal moves allows the fighter to cut short, or "cancel", the normal move and quickly go straight into performing the special move. Using cancelling skillfully is one way to create damaging combinations.

Block

Pushing the directional button away from the opponent allows the fighter to block their attacks. They can block high (Standing) and low (crouching) attacks. High and low blocks can block specific attacks, but not every attack. The fighter will need to carefully and quickly swap between them to block all incoming attacks.

Dash

Press the forward directional button twice to perform a forward dash, or the backward directional button twice to perform a backward dash. Dashing allows the fighter to quickly close the distance between them and their opponent, or to fall back and reassess the situation.

Stun Recovery

If the fighter keeps getting pummeled, they will eventually become stunned. While stunned, they cannot do anything. Their only hope is to press the directional buttons and other buttons as fast as they can to recover from the stun faster.

Throws and Throw Escapes

When standing close to the opponent, pressing the light punch button and light kick buttons simultaneously allows the fighter to throw their opponent. Theyh can change the direction they throw the opponent by pressing the left or right directional buttons. They can prevent themself from being thrown by pressing light punch and light kick together when their opponent begins to throw them. This is called "throw escape".

Some characters can also perform a throw when jumping (aerial throw), or special move throws (command throws). Throw escapes cannot be performed against aerial or command throws.

Recovery

When the opponent's attacks have knocked their character to the ground, they can press the down directional button twice or any two attack buttons simultaneously the instant that they hit the dirt to perform a quick recovery. A successful recovery will reduce the amount of time spent prone on the ground and make it easier to respond to the next incoming attack.

Some attacks, such as throws, do not allow a recovery to be performed after them.

Personal Action

While standing, the fighter can press the heavy punch and heavy kick buttons together to make sure they perform a personal action and taunt their opponent. This action in and of itself has no special properties.

Focus Attack

Performing

Press and hold the Medium Punch and Medium Kick buttons together to charge up a Focus Attack. To perform a full strength Focus Attack, hold the buttons until the attack is unleashed automatically. If the fighter releases the button while charging, the Focus Attack will come out sooner, but weaker.

Hyper Armor

The fighter can absorb up to one enemy attack in the time between pressing the Medium Punch / Medium Kick buttons and the Focus Attack being peformed. They can then go on to counter by performing the attack.

Absorb an opponent's attack and, rather than take direct damage, a section of the fighter's vitality gauge will change color, and will regenerate over time. This damage will recover as time passes, but if they are hit again before it finishes recovering, the remaining section will vanish and can no longer be recovered.

Levels

There are three levels of charging for a Focus Attack. The levels depend on how long the fighter holds the Medium Punch and Medium Kick. The fighter will flash white each time the Focus Attack level increases.

Levels
Attack Level	Main Benefits of Focus Attack performed
Level 1	Only does regular damage Crumples opponent if a counter hit
Level 2	Crumples opponent if hits, allowing easier follow up
Level 3 (Keep holding until performed)	Becomes unblockable Has Armor Break properties Crumples opponent if hits, allowing easier to follow up.

When an opponent crumples, they are rendered totally defenseless as they fall to the floor. Follow up with extra attacks or throw to take advantage of a crumpled opponent and do further damage.

The fighter cannot move or jump during a Focus Attack, but they can perform either a forward or backward dash to cancel the Focus Attack quickly.

Super Combo

Hitting the opponent or performing special moves will increase the Super Combo Gauge. The gauge is divided into four segments and, when completely full, a special command can be inpute to perform an all-powerful Super Combo. Doing so will use up all of the Super Combo Gauge.

Super Cancel

Input the Super Combo command while performing a normal move or special move and the fighter can cancel and move directly into the Super Combo. This is called a "Super Cancel". Using Super Cancels strategically allows the fighter to chain a normal move into a special move, and then into a Super Combo for massive amounts of damage.

EX Special Moves

The fighter can also perform an EX special move by pressing two or more of the required buttons (punch or kick) when inputting a special move command. This will consume one segment of the Super Combo Gauge. EX special moves are further powered up versions of the normal special moves.

EX Focus

When performing certain regular or special moves it is possible to press Medium Punch and Medium Kick together and cancel into a Focus Attack. This is called "EX Focus." (It will consume two segments of the Super Combo Gauge.) EX Focus has the same properties as a regular Focus Attack, aside from having no Hyper Armor effect.

The EX Focus can also be used when the fighter's special moves are blocked to protect themself from the opponent's counterattack.

Ultra Combo

The Revenge Gauge fills up as the opponent damages the fighter. Once it is over 50% full, the fighter can input a character-specific command to perform an "Ultra Combo," a devastating special move.

Performing an Ultra Combo will consume the entire Revenge Gauge. The higher the gauge is charged upon performing the attack, the more damage the ultra combo will do.

Normal Attacks

Press the punch or kick buttons to perform a normal attack. The precise attack varires depending on the fighter's position and the button pressed.

Special Moves

Pressing the directional and attack buttons in specific combinations will perform special moves. Special moves will take off a small amount of damage even when blocked. By performing a special move during certain normal attacks, the fighter can cancel the normal attack and move swiftly into doing a special move.

EX Special moves

These are special moves that are more powerful or have a stronger effect than normal. Fighters can perform an EX Special Move by pressing a punch or kick button (depending on the move) at the same time as the fighter inputs a special move command. This will use one stock of the fighter's Critical Gauge.

Guarding

Fighters can block an opponent's attack by pressing the directional button away from them. There are two types of guard: standing and crouching. Each can be used to block different types of attacks, so they'll need to know which type of guard is best for each situation.

V-Skill

Pressing the medium punch and medium kick buttons simultaneously will trigger a special action with a unique effect specific to that fighter.

V-Trigger

When a fighters V-Gauge is at MAX, press the hard punch and hard kick buttons simultaneously to trigger a special action specific to that character, consuming the entire V-Gauge. With effects like temporary power ups and teleportation, the V-Trigger can turn the tide of battle and give a fighter the upper hand.

V-Reversal

When guarding, press all kick or punch buttons at the same time while simultaneously pressing the directional button towards the opponent to consume one V-Gauge stock and perform a counter-move.

• Whether the fighter need to press punch or kick button depends on the fighter.

V-Shift

Press Hard Punch and Medium Kick at the same time to spend 1 stock of V-Gauge and perform a backward evasive action.

V-Shift Break

If a fighter successfully parries their opponent's attack with a V-Shift, they will trigger slow motion. While in this state, press Hard Punch and Medium Kick together to perform a fighter-specific counterattack called a V-Shift Break.

Throws and Throw Escapes

When standing close to the opponent, the fighter can perform a throw by pressing the light punch and light kick buttons simultaneously. If their opponent tries to throw them, they can execute a throw escape by pressing the light punch and light kick buttons together at just the right moment.

Recovery

When an opponent knocks the fighter down with an attack, they can perform a quick recovery by either pressing a directional button, or pressing two or more punch or two or more kick buttons simultaneously at just the right moment.

Movement

Walking

Pressing left and right on the control pad/left control stick will let the fighter move in that direction. The fighter can move forwards or backwards with no difficulty, not losing balance even while moving backwards while fighting against an opponent.

Dashing

Through double tapping the left control stick in the same direction, the fighter will perform a dash. Dashing lets the fighter cover more ground than regular advancing or retreating.

Jumping

Through inputting the control pad/left joystick upwards, the fighter will perform a jump. The fighter can either jump straight up or to either side. Jump are utilized for moving while avoiding opponent attacks, though jumping around too much will make the fighter look predictable.

Normal Attacks

Normal Attacks are performed through the fighter using the punch or kick inputs, allowing them to perform attacks of different strengths depending on the input done. There are weak versions of normal attacks known as light attacks, while weak they come out quick. There are medium attacks which are well balanced and easy to use. There are heavy attacks that leave the fighter open to counter attacks, but to make up for it they deal good damage.

Through inputting the control pad/left joystick downwards, the fighter will crouch, if attacking in this state the fighter will perform a crouch attack.

Through inputting the jumping action, the fighter can also attack while jumping, performing jumping attacks.

Blocking

There are two kinds of blocks: Standing Blocks and Crouching Blocks.

• Standing Block: Press the left joy stick in the opposite direction of the opponent while standing to perform a standing block. Standing blocks can guard against any attacks that aren't aimed at the fighters feet.
• Crouching Block: For attacks standing blocks can't defend against, crouching blocks are instead viable. While facing right, input diagonally down and left with the control pad/left joy stick to block. Crouching Blocks can't defend against Overhead or Jumping Attacks, but they can deal with a lot of other attacks.

Throws

When a fighter cannot break through an opponent's block, they can use throws to deal damage instead. At close range press the light attack inputs at the same time for a normal throw. Throws are a great option for close-ranged offense.

Throw Escape

If the fighter is about to get thrown, they can answer back with a throw escape, by pressing the light attack inputs at the same time.

Special Moves

Through a fighter doing their correct inputs, they will be able to fire off their special move. Different special moves work better in different situations for a fighter.

Super Arts

Super Arts depend on the Super Art gauge. The Super Art gauge can be filled up to 3 levels, if a fighter has at least one level in the bar, they can perform a Super Art.

The Level 3 Super Art is every fighter's trump card. The Super Art gauge fills up whenever the fighter's attack hits or if they're attacked.

The Drive Gauge

All fighter's have a Drive Gauge which indicates a fighter's concentration and energy level. Utilizing this gauge lets a fighter perform unique actions.

Drive Impact

The fighter presses the right two shoulder buttons at the same time to perform a powerful attack. Drive Impacts can absorb two attacks from the opponent, but there are some exceptions. When in trouble, a fighter's Drive Impact can break through any attack. Drive Impacts have a unique characteristic: They can break a cornered opponent's block.

Drive Parry

This is performed by holding down the medium attack inputs at the same time, for a powerful defensive tool.

Drive Parries are effective against both standing and crouching attacks, and a successfull Drive Parry will replenish the drive gauge.

While Drive Parries are powerful, they can't defend against throws.

Perfect Parry

A Perfect Parry is the result of performing a Drive Parry the moment an opponent's attacks hits them. This is an invaluable tool for their counterattack game.

Trivia

• Hugo likes Poison and potatoes.
• Hugo dislikes people who make fun of him.
• Hugo is the only common enemy to appear in every Final Fight game.
• In Street Fighter EX3, "Zako B" has a similar build to Hugo.
• Hugo and Q are both voiced by Len Carlson in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike.
• His nervousness around steel pipes as weapons likely stems from their use in Final Fight as effective ranged weapons, especially against larger enemies. Ironically, the original arcade poster shows him failing to attack Cody with a steel pipe, lying on the floor bleeding after a hard punch.
• In New Generation, the beta version of Hugo had two prototype Super Arts: "Titan Riot" and "Hyper Knuckle". It is unknown what these moves would do, as Hugo could not perform them and their inputs did not align with the rest of the cast's moves.
• Although Hugo is a large character and not considered agile, he performs front flips similar to smaller characters during his second Ultra Combo when slowed down.
• Hugo has recently been noted to bear similarities to MMA fighter and professional wrestler Giant Silva.

Codex Statistics Questions

Q: Shouldn't characters comparable to Akuma be around Tier 6 (6-C) for him sinking an island in one punch?

A: Akuma's punch causes the island to start collapsing, and specifically causes an explosion of this size in comparisson to the island, there is also no direct timeframe for how long this took, making it hard to factor. On top of this, the size of the island is not that large. Playing Devil's Advocate and assuming this was to be Tier 6, this would not be consistent, as Akuma using his ultimate technique, the "Kongou-kokuretsuzan" only split Ayers Rock in half. Which it should be noted as Akuma is training constantly and getting stronger, the Island feat was all the way back in Alpha 2, which is before most of the games, while III: 2nd Impact is pretty late into the timeline.

Q: Shouldn't the cast be comparable to Chun-Li's kikosho, which caused this massive crater, which was calculated to be 8-B?

A: While the scene is cut weirdly, a couple of things to note is for one, the consistency of kikosho. In Chun-Li's opening in Street Fighter IV, her kikosho pushes back a speeding car but does no serious damage to it. Another thing is that the crater is inconsistently sized between scenes. Finally, Chun-Li is weaker then Juri where while amped had powers that can blow up the inside of a building and cause a jet plane to explode, greatly injuring Guile, who she's comparable too in the process. Thus it does not make sense for 8-B when far lower feats affect them, and the calculation itself has issues.

Q: Shouldn't the cast be comparable to E. Honda, who destroyed a meteor?

A: In the feat, it's directly noted that the two wrestlers (Hakan and E. Honda) worked together, with E. Honda being thrown at high speeds into the meteor and being greatly damaged from said feat, having bandages all over his body. Thus the feat is not usable for scaling to anyone other then throwing speed.

Q: Shouldn't the cast be comparable to Haggar, who causes an explosion seen from space?

A: Haggar's attack is modeled weird as it's heavily likely for partly comedic effect, asides from this, despite said explosions, the actual stage is largely unaffected by this attack, which furthers that this is just an over the top comedic effect attack rather then being a literal explosions from Earth.

Q: Shouldn't M. Bison be comparable to Akuma and by proxy any characters comparable to M. Bison are comparable to Akuma?

A: When Akuma first appears in Street Fighter II, he easily one-shots M. Bison, his ending in Alpha 3 has him easily kill M. Bison. The only two cases of M. Bison looking stronger is in his arcade mode he has Akuma as a rival fight, and ends up winning, and him calling the Raging Demon a pitifully weak move. However there are issues with both of these, the first one being this is simply a non-canon arcade mode from M. Bison, any other showing of M. Bison and Akuma shows Akuma as the superior one (Examples include Street Fighter V M. Bison getting one-shot by Ryu while Akuma easily beat Ryu in Street Fighter 5, THe Alpha 3 Akuma Ending and Street Fighter II Secret Akuma Boss Fight), on top of this M. Bison wants the satsui no hado's power, which is weaker then Akuma's during the events of Alpha 3. For Adon's part, Bison is merely attempting to convince him to take Psycho Power so that he can control him, this is doubly clear as any time M. Bison has been depicted on screen being hit by the Raging Demon he instantly dies. Also as a last point, for the rival fight, Feel the Cool played against M. Bison, while Groan only plays when he's fighting Gen or Evil Ryu, thus meaning Akuma even in M. Bison's arcade mode wasn't taking the fight seriously.

Q: Shouldn't Evil Ryu and thus the Statsui no Hado have 7-B due to it powering M. Bison's laser to destroy Bangkok?

A: This is not a solely Evil Ryu power, every fighter in the game has this, including Dan Hibiki. This also is a machine that saps all of their energy, where a persons total body energy is not comparable to the energy they produce regularly.

Q: Shouldn't all Street Fighter 6 charcters get 7-B for fighting SiRN Akuma?

A: While some statements suggest it to be equal in power to Akuma, several characters note that it isn't, as strong as the real Akuma. The real Akuma even considers SiRN Akuma a mockery. C. Viper notes the simulation is only passable as a simulation.
