Lawl Cassette: Tape 3 | Hugo the Troll

[@MiroFloydtan]

UPDATE: The likebait for getting the Empty Cassette poll out before next set has been decreased to 130 to make the goal more possible to achieve. I will not alter it any further.

Before I share my thoughts on the moveset, I just want to say how much I appreciate the characters in this Lawl. The characters here are obscure in a good way, and I think that's part of Cassette's charm. I know this is a bit out of the blue, but I wanted to mention it after realizing that. Now, onto my thoughts on the moveset. This is another banger moveset from Lawl Cassette! Like many others, I had never heard of Hugo before, but that doesn't change how I feel about the moveset. I really enjoyed most of the moves chosen for Hugo! The inclusion of tools, traps, and transportation moves really shows how well you understand the character and its source material. There's not much more to say except how great it is to see another excellent moveset from Cassette. I'm looking forward to the next moveset as well as the Empty Slot!

What an amazing moveset! Like Tuga said, I don't even know who's Hugo, but now I dig him of his gadgets and fourth wall breaks. I love that train from his neutral B, when it drifted a bit, Deja Vu by Initial D popped into my mind for a dumb reason. Lol Lastly, I ALSO love Scylla's Rock Concert too, and giant boulder shooting from the volcano reminded me of King K. Rool's final blow from his final smash. And, I can't wait for the Empty Cassette voting poll when it's opened! You did an E P I C job, Miro! Keep it up!

What an amazing set! I'm not lying when I say that Hugo was the character I was the most excited for in this Lawl, given all of the games he has and how varied they can be, I expected a really fun moveset could be made for him, and I'm certainly not disappointed! I'm a big fan of Hugo having moves inspired by things that were hazards in his original game, with a few even affecting himself but in a way that isn't harmful (like the boxing glove propelling him forwards). There's plenty of synergy to be had and I really enjoy that! Side B is definitely my favorite move, given how it's a burst option that can be turned into a projectile after colliding with a trap. Overall it's a really charming set :3 I'm also really excited for Aquamarine and Topaz! Seeing how the former has two different idles and the latter is only present sometimes, I really wonder how their moveset's gonna be!

I know I need to get better at leaving comments, but god did I love Hugo's moveset! It does take a great deal of talent to make a fun and engaging set of a character who may not be super popular, and Hugo is no exception- he really does wear his home series gameplay on his sleeve in this set in the best way possible.Cassette continues to be a lawl filled with passion and fun, and I of course can't wait for even more!

There's a charm to both CD Rom Little My and Hugo the Troll. They were both characters featured in a poll you made/helped made, who admittedly were far from winning them. Yet you made their movesets regardless, with there being a clear passion for and ideas of how they'd play. It's just really nice when the underdog(s) of a poll do wind up joining a Lawl, and honestly I hope that happens more with Cassette. As for the moveset itself, while I prefer Reflex's, this is easily the best Cassette moveset yet! I think my one critique is the music used for this. The Main Menu theme was a very solid choice, but the Agent Hugo song was kinda distracting at some points. Maybe an instrumental version could've worked better, but having hip hop play over an old school fantasy type character was a bit of a clash of style (unless that was the point. like that's just how Hugo is lol). Hugo's moveset plays out fairly straight forward which seems to fit the plucky platformer. Granted there are plenty of tricks you can pull off with him. Like being able to recover with the boxing glove, as well as having the beaver ride the sled to catch opponents by surprise. It's also a cool idea that you get something else during the cooldown on his Down Special, even if it might backfire on you pffft. Overall his kit lends to an All-Rounder playstyle pretty well, with his Final Smash (or well, him and his arch enemy's) providing a very destructive, rocky finish to a match. Everything else like the standards shown off as well as general animation and editing was handled greatly here too (like was there a good deal more of camera movement here or is it just me?). Hugo's moveset is something I could see citizens of Denmark and the Nordic area appreciating, as well as people who are fans of/grew up on retro platforming. Things with the ongoing story seem to be getting crazier as well. Like our current leading trio are about to have their first major encounter with the Gems, as well as getting a glimpse at another, literally giant threat too. Can't wait to see how that craziness unfolds as well as other plans you've got for these worlds, Miro. also another common lemmy win lets goooooo!

"Hihat kaakkoon ja menoksi!" I've been familiar with Hugo since i was a kid, what with me growing up playing some of his ps1 and ps2 games. And while the quality of his games is...honestly so horrid, they'd make Bubsy turn the other cheek, the character himself is someone in quite fond of. And seeing him finally get some attention after so many years just makes my inner child scream. Good job Miro, you really don't miss.

[@HeIlo101]

Granted, I know little to nothing about Hugo the Troll, I still have to see this is a good moveset. Loved the Neutral Special's function where it can act as a horizontal recovery and get opponents trapped on the train and how its useful with combos. I also feel glad seeing someone finally (and perfectly) pull of side specials that use transportation (i.e, the ability to jump, grab, and shove opponents). And also like the Mega Man-esque final smash cutscene where the stage has boulders fall at that time. Can't wait to see the next moveset and whoever makes it into the Empty Slot/Casette!

[@random_is_not_a_studios]

As I had said before, Hugo along with Dr. Reflexes were characters that I was very intrigued to see, especially Hugo because I don't know much about him, beyond the fact that he was part of a game show in Argentina. I really liked the moveset because of the idea that Hugo uses all kinds of machines to gain ground, plus the sprites used make it is visually very striking. (And I also really liked his fourth wall breaks) The appearance of Diamante Amariyo definitely took me by surprise, and I can say that she is indeed a giant woman (reference). I had really already thought about the fact that his sprite would have to be big, but I didn't think that big, it's like the seninela from Marvel vs Capcom in size comparison. I also liked seeing Mister Dark's appearance, as well as one of his attacks and two stages (this is another character that I don't know too much about, but that catches my attention due to his few appearances in the Rayman games). Finally, it caught my attention that when attacked by the beaver, Topaz will not receive damage and added to what was seen in the outro, it makes me think that Topaz will be a literal living trap. In general, if Hugo were in a smash-type game he would be the character I would use the most because of how fun but simple he is.

Looks like we got another great moveset under the belt for Lawl Cassette! Now like many others here, despite my unfamiliarity with Hugo the Troll, this moveset was still really well made and fun looking to play. I like the various functions and unique mechanics for the traps in Neutral Special, the Side Special is both a cool movement option and had some really cool interactions with other characters and Hugo’s traps, the Up Special is a basic but still a fun recovery, and the Down Special looks like a great explosive option that has some fair balancing with the substitute as a lesser variant to hold players over for the cooldown. The Final Smash was really well done, and the rest of the set and lore segments were all a treat to watch, and I think this set was overall a great time! I’m very excited to see: How you’ll give a fitting moveset for Aquamarine and Topaz, which I think you’ll deliver on very well and I’m intrigued to see Mr. Dark play out (who I heard was from the first Rayman game, an incredibly hard game to play through) And the empty slot results. Best of luck with all of it!

[@liamconnollyst]

I did enjoy the moveset very creative ideas shown, liked some of the guest cameos mostly Irene, K. Rool and Garfield, Pauli's appearance at the end was a bit funny as well.

[@НатальяАбдувалиева-щ1в]

That was a brilliant moveset. I'm really very happy that this video has finally been released. I don't have the words. This... It's beautiful

[@LawlTuga]

This was another amazing moveset from Lawl Cassette! While I don't know much about Hugo, I can tell from my mildly familiarity with the character that the moveset did him justice. All the crazy gadgets and traps that can set up for combos or sometimes backfire in funny ways feel true to the nature of the character, and he seemed fun to play. While I don't care much about lore in Lawl videos, the lore animations are also pretty cool. That tease for The Diamonds also made me even more excited to see them in action, but until then, I'm hyped to see how do you handle Aquamarine and Topaz, specially since their multiple stances are making me pretty curious already as I'm sure they'll play a part in the moveset.

[@dandrelamay8273]

While Hugo is a bit more simple compared to the first two, his set was nevertheless enjoyable, as he has a lot of tools to help him in almost every situation. Also, I’ve just noticed that all the final smashes so far involve characters from the source material getting sucked in, which is a pretty neat detail. Looking forward to seeing Aquamarine soon, given how important The Diamonds are to the lore.

This truly is the "Summer Of Lawl"

[@SydneyIsSleepy]

a little late, but lawl casette keeps cooking!! hugo's not a character i initially thought much of when i first saw him, but this set definitely opened my eyes as to his special characteristics! neutral b was an easy standout move this set; three traps in one is nothing crazy, but the versatility in play was very admirable! the boxing glove's delayed punch can lead to some tricky situations, knocking opponents into the train is a very unique interactions, and the squirrel riding the snowball is very silly and a cool way to implent a moving trap! and that aint even all, you can also throw the pendant to reposition the trap making for even more quick & unique scenarios! i think the boxing glove matching hugo's y-axis position especially would make for a very unique method of keep-away! i also like the idea of down b's cooldown; you get the tradeoff of a stronger yet way less reliable move, which i dont believe has been done before! only issue that came up is up special's gimmick of keeping to the same angle as when used on the ground feels a little too specific, i would ideally let him keep the angling and hitbox when used in the air too. otherwise, no complains! very fun set :P

[@Iapere02]

Dr Reflex is gonna keep taking L’s every episode I’m calling it right now Overall, pretty good set, but honestly it’s probably cus I’m a sucker for these kinda of characters. Haven’t heard of Hugo before, so this is a nice introduction to him.

[@doyourememberme]

Fun fact: in Russia, Hugo has been renamed to Kuzya. I don't know why, maybe the name Hugo was considered strange, or maybe because he looked like our brownie Kuzya. Just know, in Russia he's Kuzya!

[@TheAnchorArmsChad]

3:17 YELLOW DIAMOND......

[@Giuseppe-y5t]

We need this moveset to be at 130 because I wanna see the empty slot

[@NitwitsWorld]

This is gonna be fun 😊

[@lukebergen648]

I have absolutely no knowledge of Hugo himself, but this set still turned out to be pretty fun. It also got some jams! Honestly, with that ending clip, for a doctor, Reflex needs to be more cautious. 1:24 NEW FIGHTER! Mr. Dark (Rayman) Also, I see there aren’t any more Throw Some Lawl Z characters

[@OceanVortexBlue]

What happens if this set doesn't get 150 likes?

[@MiroFloydtan]

@@OceanVortexBlue The poll will drop after Aquamarine and Topaz
