Gigas Breaker

"Ein! Zwei! Drei! Ende! (アイン！ ツヴァイ！ ドライ！ エンデー！, Ain! Tsuvai! Dorai! Endee!^?)"

—Hugo

The Gigas Breaker (ギガスブリーカー, Gigasu Buriikaa^?) is one of Hugo's special attacks, introduced as his first Super Art in the Street Fighter III series. This Super Art returns in Street Fighter X Tekken, and is his first Ultra Combo in Ultra Street Fighter IV.

Description

Hugo attempts to grab the opponent in the Street Fighter III series; in Street Fighter X Tekken, the move is strike-based, and he runs after the foe, attempting to Lariat them. If successful, he then proceeds to perform a spinning Shootdown Backbreaker then a bigger one and finally a powerful Moonsault Press which smashes the opponent in-between Hugo's humongous body and the ground, Hugo counting to 3 in German while doing so.

Tactics

In the Street Fighter III series, the technique is the Super Art of choice for many Hugo players and inflicts a massive amount of damage. It has a greater range than his Moonsault Press alone^[1], which makes it easier to counter moves on block.

Trivia

• The way Hugo counts to three in Ultra Street Fighter IV is strangely offset compared to his other appearances, counting while he's falling rather when he's preparing to jump.
