Mars People
Losing matchup. At the very least, Hugo cannot avoid Mars People's ring super by standing in between the active hitboxes because he's too wide, so he'll get hit by either side easily. He can still narrowly avoid it with well-timed i-frames on moves like command grab, but for the most part there's hardly any wiggle room. And it's easy for Mars People to stay in his comfort zone.
Red Arremer
Seriously, if you're the Hugo player, pick someone else. Hugo cannot win this matchup. Red Arremer only needs to summon his 236B minions, or the flying ghosts, and already Hugo cannot avoid them. He's tall enough that he can get hit by them even at their initial starting height, and crouching only narrowly avoids them. However, once they lower down once, then they're completely impossible for Hugo to avoid paired with their slow move speed. The only chance Hugo has to avoid them is getting close to RA first and the crouching the whole attack - which is already very unlikely, or using i-frames on attacks like his command grab to jump past them - also unlikely since RA should never have to approach Hugo himself. Even if RA doesn't get any raw hits through his relentless minion summons and projectiles, he's constantly getting free chip damage against Hugo as a sitting duck. His huge hitbox also makes it a lot easier for RA to combo the minions in general. The only time Hugo would have a chance at moving in against RA is if only the zombie is on screen, since if he tries to jump over the bat minions RA summons in the air, he'll get hit by the later bunch, nullifying his jump in. And Hugo can't rely on front step either since that would very quickly drain his meter, especially at match start where he'd only have the one bar to work with, in other words 5 front steps at best with dash input, and only 1 with BC input. There are some other things Hugo could do like st.C or st.D when RA tries to summon his air minions if Hugo is fast enough.
For anyone else more knowledgeable on Hugo, feel free to add to this matchup info. But the matchup cannot in any way be better than 1-9 and is almost certainly a 0-10 matchup that RA will always win. Hugo simply cannot handle any of RA's zoning.
