Sagat
Sagat held the title of World Champion of the Street Fighter circuit until his defeat at the hands of Ryu. The defeat not only scarred him physically, but mentally as well as Sagat became obsessed with revenge. In fact, his desire to defeat Ryu grew so strong that he joined M. Bison's Shadaloo organization solely on the promise of a rematch with Ryu. However, as Sagat's goals of defeating Ryu continued, he began to question himself and whether the obsession was eating away at his very soul. After seeing what effects the desire for revenge had on Dan Hibiki, Sagat slowly began turning his hatred of Ryu into a form of respect. Has Sagat turned a new leaf?
In a nutshell
Sagat is a zoning character who specializes in confusing his opponents with his unique high/low fireball mixup, then punishing the opponent when they think they have room to breathe. Sagat's high/low Tiger Shots have always been a force to be reckoned with ever since Street Fighter II. They allow him to control the pace of the battle and eliminate many of the opponent's options. Despite being slow, the reach on his normals is incredible, second only to Dhalsim and Seth by extension. In addition, he can also apply offensive pressure with his ambiguous Tiger Knees and a variety of feints. His greatest weakness is against characters who can keep up with the speed of his fireballs, or have good defensive games, or have speedy rushdown offensive games.
