If you are also in K-Groove, this matchup becomes a matchup of many highs and lows. Punches thrown around, turns rapidly being taken, and supers all over the place. | If you are also in K-Groove, this matchup becomes a matchup of many highs and lows.

As C-Sagat, K-Sagat holds a slight advantage and disadvantage at the same time. You lack the pressure, he lacks the defense. You have to play around that. K-Sagat's JDs can beat your buttons, and your defensive options can stop bad approaches and pressure. If he gets rage play is carefully. He's looking to get some quick offense to squeeze out a super. | As C-Sagat, K-Sagat holds a slight advantage and disadvantage at the same time. You lack the pressure, he lacks the defense.

Chun-Li
Dan
Should be a free matchup. Regardless of groove, Sagat basically owns Dan in any given situation. Considering it's the strongest character vs. the weakest character you can take a good guess that this matchup is not good for Dan.
The main tools you kind of have to look out for are Dan's Air Dan Kicks and his rather annoying 2LK and 2MK. Due to Sagat being a bigger body, Air Dan Kicks can strike at higher angles, which allows Dan to push some pressure, however, your basic anti-pressure can swat Dan away. Your Tiger Uppercut and 5HP are also great answers to Air Dan Kicks.
That's basically it for the matchup. Dan shouldn't be avenging his father anytime soon.

Sagat
Another very common matchup. Due to the fact that Sagat is a very popular character amongst all CvS2 players, you may find yourself in Sagat mirrors way more than you'd want.
It can be a fun matchup, depending on the grooves it can either be a slow game of chess or an absolute slugfest.
vs. C-Sagat
If your neutral is better than your opponent's, you should win this matchup, whether you yourself are in C or K. Focus on trying to deal with Sagat's many pokes, as he has access to the same imposing neutral game as yours. Be mindful of Sagat's supers, as he can get it quickly and get in big damage. At two bars Sagat has access to very damaging level 2 cancels. Be mindful of this and don't do anything dumb to allow him to get this big damage. Don't play it scared, because you have the same threat level, but don't get too greedy either.
vs. K-Sagat
If you are also in K-Groove, this matchup becomes a matchup of many highs and lows. Punches thrown around, turns rapidly being taken, and supers all over the place.
