Street Fighter X Tekken/Sagat

Sagat

Ideal Team Position: Point

Although weaker than his v2012 variation, the v2013 version of Sagat is still a powerhouse that can quickly turn the tide of battle thanks to his high damage output and ability to call out his opponents on errors of judgment with his Tiger Uppercut or his High Step Kick, both of which can lead to full combos if they catch an opponent in the air. Furthermore, both of these attacks can be traded, giving Sagat the ability to win in almost any exchange that involves an airborne opponent. While there are some characters who can ignore his fireball game entirely, and he can get punished badly for making a bad call, Sagat’s zoning ability combined with his unique “sweet spot” just outside mid-screen where he can blast an opponent with an anti-air into a full combo makes him very dangerous to approach wantonly. His buttons are also very strong, with far mk retracting his lower hitbox making it a strong anti-low tool to boost into his partner. His close and far LK are also strong thanks to their long range and double-hitting properties to allow for an easy confirm into boost, while his cr.LP starts up in only 3 frames to give him a strong blockstring tool. Use him as a point character as he possesses several ways to tag into a partner for big damage and can set the tone early thanks to his strong command of neutral.
