==Introduction==
[[image:Sagatfacesvc.png|right]]
Sagat, the Emperor of Muay Thai, is a Street Fighter staple boss character, debuting as the final boss in the first Street Fighter to challenge Ryu, the results of which giving him his scar on his chest. As one of many shotos, Sagat focuses on zoning and playing keepout with Tiger Shot fireballs that go both high and low, making him quite frustrating to approach in the right hands. SVC decided to take a more drastic turn with Sagat's design, however: low Tiger Shot no longer hits low, taking away a key part of Sagat's design. He is still fairly capable, so it's not the end of the world, but giving the opponent less reason to block low doesn't do him any favors as a zoner in a game where the strongest of characters are all zoners.

{{ ProConTable
| pros=
* '''Easy to play and learn:''' Sagat's pretty much a shoto, with high and low fireballs, and his only other specials are DP moves that are easy to learn how to use. Beyond that, he's a zoner with good pokes and nothing else in the way of complexity. He's a very self-explanatory character.
* '''Shoto like character that can both zone and punish:''' His two-way fireballs allow Sagat to zone more effectively, on top of his large buttons with good reach. With front step, he makes good use of punish opportunities by spending for super and can even anti-air effectively.
* '''Reliable DP and super:''' Anti-airing with DP is quite easy with Sagat, packing a large hitbox that comes out quick. His supers are strong punish tools, also.
* '''Damaging combos, especially with Exceed:''' The very few combos Sagat has all hurt and are easy to do. If he has meter, then that makes things even better, so he at least gets reliable damage when punishing the opponent.
* '''Chances are no one knows the matchup in this game:''' There are few Sagat players, so there's a good chance that your opponent won't know how to deal with him. It's also worth noting, that although Sagat doesn't do as much, what he does do he does well enough to put up a fight, giving him a slight advantage.
* '''Just happy to be here:''' Everyone else in the roster is grumpy when they're fighting. Meanwhile, Sagat's smiling the entire match, just look at that happy camper enjoy his time in SVC! How wholesome of him!
| cons=
* '''Few cancellable moves:''' Sagat has no light confirm combos, and he can't even do a heavy into db.D like the other shotos can. If he throws a button out, he's committing to it. And if the button is cancellable, the only potentially safe option is to cancel it into fireball.
* '''Generally unsafe hitboxes:''' Some of Sagat's hitboxes on his normals and his DP specials are unusual. As is typical of SNK design, his normals tend to have larger hurtboxes than they do hitboxes, or have tiny hitboxes. And with his DP specials, they have a chance of whiffing.
* '''Almost no Max Mode options:''' Sagat could have benefitted from Max Mode, but instead he gains almost nothing from it, making his few combo options and lack of cancellable buttons even more obnoxious to deal with.
* '''Ground projectile no longer hits low:''' The most baffling design choice by SNK when adapting Sagat, his low fireballs can now be blocked standing, effectively eliminating a lot of risk from the opponent in defending against Sagat and hurting his zoning tremendously. Any time Sagat throws a fireball, there's much less effort for the opponent to avoid them altogether.
* '''What he does have, other characters do better:''' Sagat isn't a bad character, but he doesn't do anything noteworthy either. When bosses aren't a factor, he tends to fare better in the meta, but with bosses, the lack of combos and buttons he can safely throw out in neutral shreds him apart as he struggles to keep up. Anything he has, someone else can do better.

 |description=* Bad move, really. The startup is bad for a Light attack, and you can think that it hits low, right? I'm sorry, but you're wrong. But this move has something that the s.A moves don't have. It doesn't whiffs on low crouching characters. If the opponent is abusing of the crouching state, this move can be an option. Wait, it's not only that. This move is not cancelable, but this move is Super cancelable, in which means that this move can be canceled on any Super Move, but don't use, because they will not connect. Just avoid this move if you want.

 |description=* His best super, I think. The damage is nice, and the first hit needs to be blocked '''low''', so you can use this on combos or when the opponent will get up. The opponent will be on a jugglable state after the last hit(On each version), but you can connect something only on the corner. The best followups will be on the combos section.

 |description=* His classic SF2 Super, but here it's an Exceed, so you can use it only one time. Sagat performs an Tiger Crush/Knee, followed by two Tiger Uppercuts. Sagat has invincibility up to the first Uppercut. The damage is nice, and it can be a followup for the Tiger Raid. More details on the combos section.

==Strategy==
===Basic Strategy===
'''''Sagat's Gameplan'''''

His gameplan is only to mix your High/Low Tiger Shots while you're far from the opponent(I think that's his plan on any game, but here, he's kind of unique) by using your pokes, command moves and meaty projectiles(That's what they call "Zoning") and to try to land the Tiger Raid to combo in the corner(Can be hard depending of the matchup). Sagat don't have good Max combos, so if you're in Max Mode, just use Super Moves. And if you know the basics on how to play with Ryu on any game, you can try to use those basic tactics(He's a Shoto here, remember?).

===Advanced Strategy===
====Resets====
Well... Resets are really important here, because they can lead to more damage. And with Sagat, this is true. Remember the combo above? He could juggle with his Super. But what if we don't use the Exceed after it? Let's try this:

(Corner only) [Jump Attack] cl/cr.C, QCB(2x)+K, cl./cr.C(Don't cancel it)

Yeah, you can think: But and the damage? Here is a phrase that I learned from a pro fighting game player: "What matters in fighting games isn't 'how you do damage', is 'how can I get to the damage'." When I heard this, I started to think about that. And later, when I saw a video with many resets in a tournament, I thought more, and then I found this damaging reset above. So, what can I do after the cl./cr.C hits? 
* First, don't cancel it(You already knew that).
* Second, analyse your opponent. See if he/she is blocking high/low in wakeup situations(Resets are like... Faster wakeups).
* Third, react to the reset. I putted cl./cr.C, because with the cl. version, you'll have more time to think, and the opponent can have more time to react. With the cr. version, you'll have less time to think, but the opponent will have less time to react too(If you time well, I mean). It's up to you now. 
* Fourth, do a low/overhead move. If you have meter, you can do something like cr.B, QCF(2x)+K, DP+C/DP+K/Exceed. If you don't have the meter, just do the same combo, but without the Super. Now for the overhead variant: (After the reset) f+A(It's an overhead, remember?), DP+C. This combo only works in Max Mode. You can even repeat the reset, by doing that combo, and then cr.A(As a low), the Super, cl./cr.C many times.

If you're having trouble with this, I found a video with it. Click [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkMRH6FZoao] <- here, jump to 3:48 and good luck.

====Match-Ups====
=====Guile=====
A rather interesting matchup for both characters, since on paper Sagat cannot keep up with Guile's sonic boom pressure and will always lose fireball wars. However, this is only with his low tiger shots, which meet the same level as Guile's sonic booms. With high tiger shots, they go above sonic boom, letting Sagat either trade with Guile any time they exchange fireballs, or punish Guile for doing fireball and if far away enough to recover in time, can block the sonic boom. This makes for unusual fireball wars where both characters want to throw out fireballs but at the same time cannot as they circumvent each other's fireball pressure. If Sagat uses super fireball, then regardless of which version he uses, it's in his favor and Guile needs to respect it. Guile can front step punish it, but being a charge character, he can't do much without meter. It's better for Guile to play neutral with his normals and have flash kick ready instead of trying to play fireball wars. However, Sagat can also play neutral pretty well with some good buttons, long normals, and similar pressure, though his anti-airs may be counteracted by Guile. Midrange sonic booms for pressure are still beneficial for Guile to fight aggressively with as opposed to turtling, so you do need to play Guile differently as a result. Arguably in Guile's favor only by a little. Sagat players should be careful how they throw out tiger shots and look out for sonic booms up close since Guile will have better pressure up close and better normals, but both characters counteract their best points in the matchup.

|+ BnB Combos
|-
!  Combo !! Position !! Damage !! Stun !! Difficulty !! Notes 
|-
|(j.X,) db.D, qcf X || TBA || TBA || TBA || TBA || The classic Shoto combo "cr.MK + Fireball". You don't need to add the jump attack sometimes, because this can be hard to use on those small characters([[Choi Bounge (SvC)|Choi]] and [[Rockman Zero (SvC)|Zero]]), but it's not impossible. Easy if you want to begin. The damage is decent. You can use this combo if you land the db+D as a poke to push your opponent if you want(But will not connect).
|-
|(j.X,) cl.C, dp X || TBA || TBA || TBA || TBA || Sagat's cl.C is his most damaging cancelable move, but it whiffs against those low crouching characters, so watch out if you want to use. In this combo, DP+C is the best choice, because it does more hits and more damage. The DP+K does only one hit on this combo.
|-
|(j.X,) cl./cr.C, qcb x2 K, dp C || TBA || TBA || TBA || TBA || Simple combo, really. If you get used to this, you can use the Exceed after the QCB(2x)+K part(more details on that will be on the Advanced Strategy), but those two are only options if you don't have/don't want to use the Exceed.
|-
|(j.X,) cl./cr.C, qcb x2 K, dp K || Corner || TBA || TBA || TBA || Simple combo, really. If you get used to this, you can use the Exceed after the QCB(2x)+K part(more details on that will be on the Advanced Strategy), but those two are only options if you don't have/don't want to use the Exceed.
|-
|(j.X,) cl./cr.C, qcb x2 K || TBA || TBA || TBA || TBA || 
|-
|(j.X,) cl./cr.C, qcb x2 K, Exceed || Corner || TBA || TBA || TBA || That's his most damaging combo. It's not so hard to do, but to get the most damage, the first uppercut needs to whiff, and the second uppercut needs to hit the opponent, so you need to time well. Button holding for this combo is actually not a good idea, because if you button hold, despite Exceed coming out immediately, it will make the last hit of the first DP does not whiff, thus dropping the rest of the Exceed and allowing the opponent to recover before Sagat. I think it does 75% of damage on the opponent's health. The opponent will be with only 25% of health, so they can use their Exceed after this combo.
