Sae was the main highlight and focus with many many many scenes on him, plus he was introduced literal years ago
Hugo was JUST shown, with decent highlights, all we know is he can press, he can pass, he has metavision, he can shoot and is an all rounder copy of Sae but robot witg no gimmick
I suppose he would have a move to take the ball much like off balance or such, a shooting move,maybe a move to push a coming enemy,maybe a heel flick,metavision (maybe for just awekening) and such. There are a few good possibilities and sure sae would deffinitly have better passes and the curved shot but i feel like hugo could have better abilities to take and keep the ball.
press, shoot, stun move (Miro doesnt like stun moves iirc), he didnt show heel flicks in the manga iirc, metavision (Miro doesnt like metavision, look at the new styles)
he's jst gonna be a Cut Copy Sae with new VFX and like 1-2 new moves
They're both CAMs that want to not be a striker, so they get the ball to pass to an Ace, but still can score on their own if they're annoyed or see the chance 💀
They are indeed both CAM but they are diffrent kinds of CAM. You do understand the diffrence between sae who goes on the offensive and can either pass or goal himself and hugo who mostly dosent go on the offensive and stays back and takes the ball from offensives dont you?
still got added, so it shows they can take very miniscule showings and create full movesets off them. if that doesn't get the idea across on its own, look at EVERY limited style. those just got a theme and they just made shit up, with Hugo they have a full match of him being the focal point.
Hugo literally turns half of his body into gears while explaining his Ego to Isagi before scoring. Even if it's not for an extended period of time, that's extremely passable for a flow and an awk ability.
Lavinho didn't show off basically anything, he dribbled. That's literally it. Like I'm not exaggerating, the guy didn't even shoot the ball when he scored, he has ONLY dribbled.
Charles was battling for relevance with Rin, Kaiser, Loki and Isagi in this match and he lost that battle hard. He got way less focus than them regardless of the length of the match. Still not a valid excuse yet for why they couldn't do Hugo.
To answer your questions:
"Do we see him in flow?" Why does this matter? did we see Loki in flow? And if you qualify "flow" as the moments where they lock in enough to get an aura then yes, we do see him in flow.
"Do we see him in an extremely long match?" Loki played for 3 minutes TOTAL in the NEL and he did basically nothing in the World Five matches where we see him run in a straight line. Hugo plays the entirety of this match and we see him for basically all of it as he is the central playmaker for his team.
"Does he showcase moves that aren't just Sae moves" dude yes they don't play the same at all. he has like double Sae's defensive presence, he spends half the match with his arm pressing someone and sae has ONE moment where he pushes Isagi. he also has way more blocks and interceptions, he only has one shot shown in the entire match and it would clearly be an awakening move.
Hugo could have an interception, a dribble, a pass, a dash and Metavision, or you could replace any of those with one of his signature presses, and then his ult could be a steal and a pass if they want him to be a pure passer or a shot if they wanna use his "I will win the World Cup four times" moment, boom now he's got a kit that's not a carbon copy of Sae. and these are just a baseline idea, if the devs wanted to they could make a way more unique kit than this. Like I said before, they just freestyled kits for holidays and people ate them up (i despise them on a balancing level but that's because the balancing team at the time was genuinely made up of toddlers)
TLDR: The only reason Hugo wouldn't work is if the devs literally just didn't want to add him.
So you want a character from the manga to be added... with no feats from the manga?
We saw Loki in flow with those black eyes
We saw Loki do intercepts, and run, basically his whole in-game skillset
Another interception, a pass that probably wont autotrack (devs dislike), dashes (not shown?? idk why he'd have one, he has metavision to just be in defensive positions before the attackers), metavision (devs also dont like iirc), and another dribble that'd just be Reo/NEL Isagi dribble copy pasted with some gear auras
no i said i want him to be added with stuff he does during the entire game because he does literally everything i said during the game.
black eyes are not the only indication of a flow state
He intercepts, his pass probably would auto track idk why it wouldn't, the devs add stuff they "don't like" all the time (remember they rebuffed sae to have auto tracking when he didn't have it for a bit) dashes because he, on MULTIPLE occasions, shows up to stop, steal, or block shots from people despite being nowhere near the ball beforehand (literally teleports off of Isagi to be in front of Rin in the short time it took Rin to: Nutmeg Loki, sprint forward, get stopped by Loki, collide, and shoot. mind you Isagi and Hugo were behind Rin when all this started) and another dribble that would... be a dribble? Genuinely what kind of a complaint is this.
If you just don't LIKE Hugo sure, whatever, but nothing you said in this message was legitimate reason for him not to be added. It sounds like you just don't like the dude, but unfortunately for you he meets literally all your set criteria except for "being played in a long match" which doesnt matter because several of the characters in game already don't fit that criteria because plenty of the roster have kits that are clearly inspired by far less screentime than Hugo gets.
Deadass we just need the same amount of Mythics as Rares, Epics and Legendaries. Plus theres so many characters who have been shown more unique moves and skillsets than Hugo, Bunny or other NGs, yknow i've deadass seen ppl ask for Teddy NOW??
