Transform as fast as possible, then abuse his high chip damage and massive combos.

Fugo is normally a decent character with some strange but useful normals, and slow specials. He also has the unique ability to poison his enemy to do a bit of free extra damage. His goal is to either 1) reach 2 bars of meter as fast as possible and do his GHA or 2) do 214AAA when he has less than 20% health in order to fransform. Once transformed, most of Fugo’s specials get some kind of boost. Usually speed in S-OFF, or damage in S-ON, barring a few exceptions. Most importantly, his poison effect is dramatically increased. This ends up greatly increasing combo damage and gives Fugo the highest chip damage in the game. Fugo comes with six rechargeable poison capsules, and each does 100 damage of chip when transformed. If the opponent blocks six times, they lose around 60% health. This is on top of his massive, 80-90% combos he can do once transformed.

Fugo has no main mode, instead S-OFF and S-ON each have their own set of tools that you must choose depending on your needs. Both are more geared towards being closer to the opponent, although S-ON has generally more combo damage. S-OFF has 236A, which becomes a fast, long range poke that can poison, and 623A, a fast stab attack that sets up okizeme. S-ON has 63214A, a standing overhead and combo extender (HKD with distortion), 623A a combo ender that can act as a frame trap, 22A combo extender, and 236A which can be used for wall combos.

Fugo likes to keep close to the opponent at all times to keep layering poison and take advantage of high combo damage. Getting in, however, can be a challenge against characters that can keep him out. Fugo players will have to work on his neutral the most, as unfamiliarity with his tools can make him very predictable. That being said, Fugo’s comeback potential is one of the best in the game and the poison mechanic is unique and imposing. He doesn’t gain too much with Rotation Cancels, but his already high damage output suits him fine.

**PROS**

* Easy to get his transformation (an inevitability, mostly).
* Highest chip damage in the game by far.
* One of the highest combo damage in the game.
* jH in both S-OFF and S-ON can be a good cross-up tool.
* Decent pokes within 2 character widths.

**CONS**

* Struggles against keep-out.
* Takes practice to open people up.
* Specials are slow and low damage without transformation.
* Takes a lot of practice to play the neutral.
