Copied directly from Street Fighter PCG<strong> "The artbook released in the year 2003, Street Fighter Eternal, states
that Hugo is from Final Fight. All About Capcom does not list any Hugo
appearances in Final Fight. There is no Japanese source that states Hugo
is Andore, Street Fighter Eternal included. ...I'm wondering if Hugo is an
Andore but Capcom just keeps forgetting to actually SAY that or something,
but this is getting kind of silly. Oh yea, separate bios in All About
Capcom probably doesn't mean very much considering that Shin Akuma and
Final Vega/Bison have separate bios from Akuma and Bison."
Hugo is in Final Fight so says capcom in an official art book. they don't say he's an Andore but it has to be assumed (or at least i am) that he is one of the Andores (jr., uncle, etc...) because that's the only character in Final Fight that looks like him in those games and he is now officially stated to be in them so he has to be someone.
Hugo & Andore are listed seperately in AAC because they are in different games FFR vs. SFIII. The Andore listed in FFR is not hugo... because Hugo is most likely Andore Jr (or he could be any of the other relatives), so he's not listed as Hugo because he's not.
Am i missing it or am i right and AAC does not even feature the original Final Fight series. i see a FFR section but no FF section. the title of the book is "AAC head to head fighting games 1987-2000"... is it not? yeah... ./?
so at this point i'm summing all this info up as:
(official) Hugo is in FF. (not official) probably as a part of the Andore family, which one not specified. another non-Hugo Andore-family-member fought in FFR, most likely Andore Sr.
i bet/guess Hugo rejected mad gear & his family in mad gear and went off with poison to form the HWA. maybe he dropped the Andore from his name to seperate himself from the notorious Mad Gear. etc. etc.
capcom did almost zero story for SFIII characters so it's no suprise to me that they didn't bother to mention/flesh-out Hugo's backhistory. but i don't blame them because they have alot of work to do (with shitty non-2d games), their schedules are full. continuity slaves (not calling names... and if i was i'd have to call myself a semi-continuity slave) may get caught up on what Capcom may have not offically said, but i think they only don't say/print some things because they can assume we (the fans) are going to fill in the plot holes by using deduction, semi-proof, logic, etc...
i don't know... maybe we have to still wait on capcom's word but i'm willing to say Hugo is an Andore and most likely Andore Jr.
