After looking threw newest videos carefully i dont think high tiger shot got nerfed… recovery seems the same. Also judging from this video [media=youtube]4OQMIkrTQD4[/media] at about 0:31 sagat does a badly spaced mk tiger knee , yet was safe enough to block balrogs 2 frame cr. lp… Tiger knees seem untouched or ever so slightly better… im guessing they decided to not give bk standing lk in return for keeping high ts and not nerfing mk knee more.
Good find, there was one part he did a kara knee and it didn’t get punished by a rush punch, would it hit him in our current build?
A rush punch? Depends how badly spaced.
Fuck it. Imma wait till I get my hands on dat frame data before I decide if I’m dropping him or not.
Told ya
I am very interested to see in full detail what they did to Sagat in AE, if they fucked him up pretty bad i might drop him
yeah same im definitely picking up w/e twin is less popular as a secondary but if hes that bad im maining a twin probably yang.
Don’t think they fucked him up. Looks like recovery is pretty much the same.
Either ways ill drive the sagat bandwagon by myself if it comes to that :looney:
According to Tokidos blog, bonchan thinks Sagat is top tier in AE.
:lovin:
After a few days of AE, I think Sagat is good… not OP s tier but he is just fine! There can be chance that they buff some of his normal damage back to Vanilla. The real problem is Yun, easy to use new S tier. Just imagine a Rufus can dive kick over half the screen and has a broken super. His only weakness probably is his rather weak wakeup options.
If anyone can show Sagat’s potential, it’s Bonchan. But top tier? Hmm…depends on how he does against Yun & Yang. We know he kicks Zangief’s ass for sure!
And where the hell is Mago anywhere? No news of him playing since AE dropped.
He is busy fondling with Fei.
wasnt he playing yang also?
Finally got to play the game, first thing that came to mind was the speed differences. If you ever played the vanilla arcade version, it should feel very similar to that. Couldn’t get used to the timing, it’s going to take a while for me. Sagat mostly feels around the same, and the Akuma match up still feels pretty gay. Going to have to go during a time where it doesn’t take an hour for one turn though.
I believe reading so, but it was along the lines of Yang is better than Yun and he is contender for top. Although the battle ranking of Mago says he is fondling with Fei a lot.
what speed? Meth, amphetamines, normals, tiger shots? Be more precise por favor.
No I’m talking about the game speed as a whole. If you ever transitioned from vanilla to chocolate, you would notice that chocolate felt a little bit faster in terms of the game movement. Playing strawberry felt like it went back to vanilla speed in general. The game as a whole feels a bit more sluggish in terms of movement like it did in vanilla. I’m not sure whether or not it’s because of the arcade board or it’s just a speed difference between arcade/console.
I meant in general (I am already well aware he dropped Sagat like a playboy and went for Fei the new hottest girl on the block) since we should have some news on you know, the previous top player, and why is he not raking in the BP.
Okay got to play a bit more today with Sagat, Rufus, & Seth. After testing around a bit more, Sagat feels much better than his SSFIV counterpart. Light TK is more like vanilla and it will generally either whiff or hit the tip of the knee up close, so it’s good for using it in karas. Forward RH is faster and I was easily able to do the forward RH, forward RH, to U1 without it being traded from a jump in. Uppercuts also don’t trade as much since I’m getting more clean hits out of jump in and special attacks. Standing LK properties from SSFIV still kind of blows, but AE Sagat feels so much better.
As for Rufus, he felt around the same. Can’t say so much for Seth since it was much harder playing without j.HP. Noticed that the twins have very good normals as AAs though, and Adon’s standing mk can be used as an AA now.
I’ve seem nerdjosh’s AE Sagat and he looks way better than in SSFIV. Sabin said “He does real damage now” I just want to know how much his Angry Scar Tiger Uppercut does now. Can you tell us that?
