Introduction

Feared throughout his homeland and beyond, Sagat reigned supreme until his narrow defeat at Ryu's hands. Humiliated and honorless, Sagat vows revenge at any cost. The tenacious tiger now stands on a new battlefield.

Sagat isnt easy to use, but is very good once you get him down. He more for someone who likes to zone/turtle, he doesnt really have much of a rush down ability. But when he hits you it hurts.

Pros:

  • Far reach
  • Great anti-air
  • Pure Power
  • Versatile CC

Cons:

  • Big
  • Slow speed
  • Normal are laggy and slow

Special Moves

Qcf.png+P.png- Tiger Shot (high). unch version goes high (actually goes over Sakura's fireball).

Sag ts(1).pngSag ts(2).png

Qcf.png+K.png- Tiger Shot (low). Kick version goes low. Kick version will be used the most, and is his main zoning tool from afar. Starts far in front of sagat because of his animation, and does good damage.

Sag lts(1).pngSag lts(2).png

Dp.png+P.png- Tiger Blow, formerly known as Tiger Uppercut. Hp does massive damage when done deep as AA or on the ground, I wanna say roughly 20% damage. Always to deep tiger uppercuts for AA when possible.

Mp.png- Sag tump(1).pngSag tump(2).pngSag tump(3).pngSag tump(4).png

Hp.png- Sag tuhp(1).pngSag tuhp(2).pngSag tuhp(3).pngSag tuhp(4).pngSag tuhp(5).png

Dp.png+K.png- Tiger Crush, formerly known as Tiger Knee. Use to advance quickly, or combo into. 2-hits blocked is safe, 1-hit blocked (or hit) can be punished, but is extrememly hard to, leading to set-ups.

Lk.png- Sag tklk(1).pngSag tklk(2).pngSag tklk(3).png

Mk.png- Sag tkforward(1).pngSag tkforward(2).png

Hk.png- Sag tkhk(1).pngSag tkhk(2).pngSag tkhk(3).png

Sag tc(1).pngSag tc(2).png

Qcf.png,Qcf.png+K.png- Tiger Genocide. Only lvl 3 is worth it when comboed into, does massive damage.

The Basics

Sagats comfort zone is 3/4 to fullscreen away. From here you can far aa and control the pace of the match. Punish all jump attempts hard. WHen the opponent does get close, ac them, or thow to get them away. His CC is very easy to land and is a round winner. Zone with slow fireballs, and punish far jump attempts with s.fp or s.mk, s.rh works too.

Tiger knee, then:

  • CC
  • throw
  • block attack, ac
  • You can also hp tiger uppercut at your own risk, I tend not to because you are gonna get messed up if they block, cc is way safer. I would only cc at lvl 1, cause if they blcok its not too big a loss.

Advanced Strategy

Custom Combos

If you ever dont knock them down (ex. you mess up a sweep, so they are still standing) the cc still works.

lvl 1- c.rh cc hk tiger knee, hp tiger uppercut c.rh xx hp tiger uppert cut x2

if you have JUST A LITTLE more than a lvl 1, you can get 2 hk tiger knees in, then dp. lvl 2- hk tiger knee x3, hp tiger uppercut

lvl 3- tiger knee x5, hp tiger uppercut

^^ hard as hell to do, better off doing 4 knees. either way it hurrts, even if you go for 5 knees into hp tiger uppercut.

Anti-air custom combo:

OH so nice. Since sagat has such a far reaching s,mk, you can AA from far as hell away and get his full custom.

Close aa cc: s.lp xx hk tiger knees xN, hp tiger uppercut.

far aa cc: s.mk xx hk tiger knees xN, hp tiger uppercut.

Lv1:

[CC]c.HK,HK TKx2,HP TB[/CC]

[CC]HK TKx3[/CC]

Lv3:

[CC]c.HK,HP TBx3[/CC]

[CC]c.HK,HK TKx6[/CC]

[CC]c.HK,HK TKx5,HP TB[/CC]


Sagat: lvl 1- c.rh xx hp tiger uppercut x2

lvl 1- c.rh xx hk tiger knee, hp tiger uppercut

lvl 2/3- c.rh xx hk tiger knee xN, hp tiger uppercut

Match-ups

Vs. Adon: 5-5


Vs. Akuma: 4-6

He has a horrible matchup vs ken\akuma imo. If sagat throws a high tiger, ken\akuma can roll under it and get in range. If sagat throws a low one, ken\akuma can tatsu over it and get in range. Not to mention the fact that kens ac+k has huge range. So if sagat wants to zone him, it has to be with normals instead of fireballs.


Vs. Birdie: 6-4


Vs. Charlie: 5-5


Vs. Chun-Li: 4-6


Vs. Dan: 8-2


Vs. Dhalsim: 6-4


Vs. Gen: 7-3


Vs. Guy: 5-5
