Hugo is a character from Capcom's Final Fight series and Street Fighter series. He was originally a minor enemy in the first Final Fight, and became a playable character in Street Fighter III. He is based on the late professional wrestling legend Andre the Giant, as hinted by his last name Andore. His long time friend and manager Poison is usually with him.
Biography[]
Hugo was a member of the Mad Gear syndicate, but after its collapse, he turned towards the squared circle and used his massive size and power to become a pro wrestler. Since then he has used his unparalleled strength and wrestling techniques to annihilate a great number of opponents. Hugo is a freakishly strong character, but also has a tender side to him. He is also a little bit on the slow side. In order to capture the attention of the media gathered in the Antarctic, Hugo travels with Poison to the South Pole.
Appearance[]
Standing at just under 8 feet, Hugo is currently the tallest character in Street Fighter history. Hugo traditionally wears a pink leopard skin tank-top with darker pink jeans, brown boots, and black studded wristbands. He wears a thick chain from the back of his waist, to 3/4 of the way around his waist, ending at his hip. He has long, messy black hair, that bounces and moves around as he moves and attacks. Hugo's face is considerably odd. His eyes are normally obscured by shadow during battle, but during certain animations, they become visible, revealing that he has no pupils, though he clearly has pupils in his character portrait.
Personality[]
Hugo is a very arrogant man because of his size, believing no one can come close to his strength. He gives very little regard to rules or authority, stepping on anyone in his way.

- —Hugo
Hugo play similar to how he was in SFIII. Being on the slow side, he makes up for it by his sheer size and power to control space. He has decent normals and pretty good ranges on his throws. Overall Hugo can take and dish out huge amounts of damage.

Deciding he needed a new ring persona, Hugo debuts 'Hugo the Barbarian'. For a man of few words, finding a persona that speaks for itself can be a daunting task.
