Sagat is a Flexible Mid-Tier Character in Street Fighter EX2+. He has solid meterless damage, beefy anti airs, and great pokes.
Gameplan
Fireball Zoning in SFEX2+ is nerfed from Street Fighter II and the Alpha Series. Projectile speeds are generally slower than SFII, and high damage jump-ins often put defensive players at a disadvantage. With that in mind, characters like Guile and Sagat are still solid choices.
While not strictly defensive, Sagat can certainly be played that way. Use 2LK, 5MK, and low Tiger Shots to take control on the ground. If they jump, answer with 5HK or Tiger Blow. On offense, Sagat has a very low jump arc and great Okizeme thanks to Tiger Crush (623K).
- Tiger Crush is a dangerously mobile special move. After an anti-air (Or most situations where your opponent is knocked down and out of range), you can do multiple Tiger Crushes and still maintain frame advantage. You'll build meter doing it too!
- Chuck Fireballs until you come into range for 5MK and 2HP. Buffer Tiger Crush with your longest pokes to convert into a rewarding knockdowns. Even in neutral, the threat of a "random" Tiger Crush might make your opponent press less buttons up close. This synergizes with Sagat's better than average throw game- Walk up to that Turtle and toss them with close 6HK!
- Sagat's Light Attacks give him access to some potent hit confirms. You can chain up to three 2LKs and cancel into HP Tiger Blow. Unfortunately EX2's Combo Scaling system kicks in hard: You'll do identical damage to a raw HP Tiger Blow with this technique.
- Since EX2Plus lacks close normals, many of Sagat's grounded buttons will outright whiff on crouching opponents. There are some anomalies with Tiger Crush too. If it doesn't outright miss, sometimes you wont get the second hit that knocks down.
