Sagat Improvement Thread

More than that, actually…

AA Trade
TU FADC
AA F+RH
EX TU
Tiger Shot on airbourne opponent in corner
EX Tiger Shot in corner
Jump in Fierce > Ultra

Right, you could break it down like that, but I consider a Tiger uppercut, a tiger uppercut no matter if traded, on ground, or in corner.

thats full ultra . most full ultras do 600 + damage anyway . the damage isnt the problem its his ways of landing it , just tone down the fadc damage to ryus ultra damage level and he will be balanced. hes not op just slightly tilted to his favour .

No most full non comboed Ultras do between 4-500. Sagat (and Rufus) is a monster because his comeback/punish potential is as high as the sky. If Ryus SRK FADC Ultra did that kind of damage he’d be god tier.

If Sagat isn’t god tier anymore, 80% of the Sagat Army will be moving on to whoever is the new “best” character. Fucking weak, man.

I will leave Sagat if he isn’t top tier. You can ask Saqs if I’m just another member of the Sagat army though.

Anyone who mains a character is a member of their army to me. Saqs is boss with Rose, but his definition of it won’t mean a damn to me.

Extremely weak. There really is no excuse for players like this. Simply reprehensible.

It’s just a game… calm down. I don’t think that it is worth attempting to judge someone as a person based on their character choice in a video game.

I think he was just making fun of my post. I don’t think he was serious. :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s not because of the damage! Is that even written in my comment? NO. I like the combo, it’s not because of the damage, lower it, I don’t care.
Anyway I can see your point of view, with all this Sagat players using him because of his tier. I liked Sagat since I was a little kid and I would go with my brother to the arcades, and cause I’ve been practicing Muay Thai since I was 10 years old, reason why I will probably check Adon out. But yes, the majoraity of players use him for the reasons everyone knows.

I don’t have any beef with anyone using a top tier character because they’re top tier. I personally believe you should use who you like. My friend is in the same boat as you, Shin Kazuya. He’s loved Sagat since we were kids (he thought he was saying Viper instead of Tiger, which is weird), however he won’t play Sagat in SFIV because he thinks folks will call him a tier whore. I always tell him “fuck it!” and “play who you want!” But I guess folks are different.

I have a friend like that except he does play sagat in sf4. and he will continue even if sagat goes into vega tier

I play who I like. Vega in ST and Vega in SF4. Very different tier rankings in each.

Yes, these people, or sub-humans as I like to call them, who choose characters merely based on how good they are and how easy they are to use deserve to be flogged and then crucified. Then as they bleed out over several hours I’d skull fuck their mothers and laugh in their faces. That would show those REPREHENSIBLE FUCKS TO TIER WHORE!!! EYHIKDFGO{SDHFIO{SDKLFSDL"KJK"F

This argument holds no water. You say everyone should play who they like. What if some people like strong characters with an answer for every situation? Is that invalid?

Please don’t be a typical low tier hero.

Wait…wait…Sagat is easy to use?

As in…it doesn’t take alot of time to hit a high level of mastery with him?

lollercoaster

Let me break it down for you

Sagat easy to use? No

Easier to use then every other character? Yes

I assume you’re responding to me. My post was satire, I play Sagat and I feel his game is deeper and harder to master than a lot of characters.

He’s one of the easier characters to win with because of how good he is, but he’s definitely not one of the easiest to play to his full potential. ’ Ease to play’ is not equivalent to ‘ease to win with,’ I’m not trying to argue with you. I think this is what you meant, I was just clarifying.

Exactly. Easiest to win with, yeah probably. Easiest to master? No. He is probably in the top 10 hardest characters to master in the game. There are alot of different aspects to him that don’t involve shooting energy from his fists yelling TIGER every 2 seconds.
