According to Studio Bent Stuff's "ALL ABOUT CAPCOM Taisen Kakutou Games 1987-2000," the character in Guy's Metro City stage in Street Fighter ZERO 3 (and SFZ2) is Andore while the character depicted on the billboard in the upper right corner of Cody's jailbreak stage in SFZ3 is Hugo.
At the Japanese location tests, the 4th, 7th, and 8th CPU opponents were CPU-only sub-boss/boss characters (whether or not a player's actions in matches 1-3 or 5-6 influenced the CPU's selection of the 4th, 7th, and 8th opponents was undetermined, as far as I recall). The 4th match character would be either Hibiki Dan, Goenitz, Demitri Maximoff, or Geese Howard. The 7th match character was either a powered-up, very angry Ken Masters (referred to on various websites as either Satsui no Ken or Orochi Ken) or Bousou Iori (aka, 'Riot of the Blood' Iori). The 8th match opponent was either Shin Gouki or Shin Karate. No methods of selecting any of these as a playable character has been revealed yet.
Not for another week or two. It has undergone a number of location tests in the last 5 weeks or so, however.
In Final Fight Japanese if you hit Andore the lifebar says "Hugo"
Let's see here, he wears EXACTLY the same clothes, he has POISON as his manager, he has a move where he grabs you by the neck (similar in vien to Andore), and he hold his arms in nearly the same position.
I'm sorry, Setsuna, but your statement is simply not correct. I own several different Japanese versions of Final Fight, and several different Japanese guidebooks for the game, and the name Hugo never appears in any of them. In all versions of Final Fight the gang members in the leopard-skin unitards are Andore, Andore Jr., F. Andore, U. Andore, and G. Andore. The name Hugo never appeared in Final Fight, nor in any of its sequels.
Simbob's not saying that Hugo has nothing to do with Andore, or that Hugo has no connection to Final Fight. What he is saying is that Hugo's character design was inspired by (or ripped off from) the character design of the Andore family in Final Fight [in much the same way that the design of SFIII's Alex was inspired by (or ripped off from) Muscle Bomber's Aleksey Zalazof (aka, Saturday Night Slam Masters' "Biff Slamkovich")]. This and the fact that he has a Final Fight character (Poison) as his manager are the only 2 solid connections between Hugo and Final Fight. I've yet to see any Japanese source to indicate that Hugo ever had any involvement with the Mad Gear gang, or that he has any relationship to the Andore family. As previously stated, Studio Bent Stuff's "ALL ABOUT CAPCOM Taisen Kakutou Games 1987-2000" lists Andore and Hugo as two different characters. In terms of character design, Hugo and the Andore family may be nearly identical, but in terms of storyline they are separate characters.
Andore's father is F. Andore, his uncle his U. Andore, and his grandfather is G. Andore.
B.G.U. Andore, eh? smirk
