- This is about the throw attack. For the Bison Troopers' attack see here.
Hugo performing Neck Hanging Tree on Ling Xiaoyu.
Neck Hanging Tree is Hugo and T.Hawk's regular throw in Ultra Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter X Tekken.
Description
Hugo uses his size, strength, and leverage to lift his opponent by the head. He then proceeds to squeeze their head with his arms twice. He then throws them away. T.Hawk's version has him squeeze their head once before throwing them on the ground,
Tactics
Like with many grapplers, it is very important to vary the usage or command and regular throw. Using regular throws can allow players to punish or chase down tactics that would otherwise be costly. In Hugo's case he can EX backbreaker opponents jumping away or neutral jump attempts to punish a command grab.
Trivia
- This move is a more dramatic version of WWE wrestler Great Khali (who was also a tall man)'s Vice Grip, which squeezes the head of his usually smaller opponents with his two hands.
- This move is based off of an attack used by the Andore family in Final Fight.
