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.
