Description
Shootdown Backbreaker used against Yang in Ultra Street Fighter IV.
Executed by performing a Shoryuken motion? and pressing kick, Hugo leaps forward into the air to grab an airborne foe; if successful, Hugo will perform a rack hold on the opponent before falling for an Argentine backbreaker drop, throwing them off afterwards.
The EX Special version grants invulnerability and has no startup time.
Tactics
The opponent cannot quick stand after it, giving Hugo time to perform his taunt.[1] It is primarily used as an anti-air when the opponent jumps in, and is also useful for following up on an Ultra Throw.

Trivia
- In Street Fighter IV, one of Guile's air throws, the Flying Buster Drop, looks somewhat similar to the Shootdown Backbreaker.
