He can beat on the middle tier pretty badly. plus he’s good against chun, blanka, sak, cammy.
-s.lk owns chun, so he can get in on her easy. s.mk, prevents here from jumping in. she shouldn’t be able to crossup ken if he isn’t knocked down. c.mk if she decides to whore s.mp
-Blanka is fat. So if you get a knock down on him, it’s a guessing game to wether or not you’ll cross him up or not, and it’s in your favor.
-sak, c.mp kills her dive kicks, s.lk allow you to get in, and s.roundhouse for long range poking. Being confident in your ground game helps in this matchup
-cammy, c.strong and s.lk are your main weapons. Use of psychic dp’s help. C.strong also stops cammy’s air dive.
But ummm yeah, sagat is a hard match up. I just can’t stay inside. when i do i usually get pushed back out, i’m sure someone has some insight. Buk? or do i have to change my name to something else to get some advice?
I’m serious when i say this, go crazy. If he’s mid screen charging, do sj.hurricanes over him. just make sure u do it so your safe. If he’s full screen away, that’s good you stay on your side building meter, let him turtle. The moment he tries to jump, throw a fireball to make him air block, then try to move in. When you get in close, honda is gonna expect you to cross him up, so he’ll do a s.fierce to AA you, anticipate it and punish with a RC funky kick or c.fiercexxxfb instead. worst case scenario is that he doesn’t do the s.fierce and he blocks it, you’ll be safe anyways. just be patient, especially if you have the lead. If he does a d,u+k you can retaliate with a c.lkxxxsuper, that might be your only opening so capitalize on it.
