Sagat Improvement Thread

dude, what? i thought it was already special cancellable on the first hit, do you mean the second hit can cancel?

It used to be SUPER cancellable. Special cancellable means he can cancel into any special not just his super.

oh, good… they improved the best st. HK in the game? >_> that`s ummm interesting…

So alioune, with sagat stronger in SSFIV than in SFIV, do you think super is more balanced than vanilla?

Gief has to love cancelable S.HK :lol:

I believe only the first hit is cancelable, but you gotta love cr.lk ~ cr.lk ~ st.hk xx Tiger uppercut.I’m calling it the new BNB.

I know its only the first hit thats cancellable but it`s funny cause when I try to focus his st. HK and the tip of his toe hits me, he still gets both hits lol…

nevermind im a dummy, was thinking close mk lol. this could be good. it may take the place of s.lk in terms of it being the new poke the use when setting up TS or TK block strings. s.lp will be pretty good in this application too.

EDIT: whats the command for Angry Scar?

Alioune how much does each version of Tiger knee do? If it still does solid damage the new BnB could be low short low short stand rh xx fierce TK.

For the win.

:china:

Tiger Knee damage went down hard. Just like they did with Rufus the only way they figured to tone down Sagat’s godlike tiger knees was to nerf the damage on them. I think I heard tiger knees do around only like 30 damage now. Like when u watch videos and see someone get hit with a tiger knee…shit does nothing. So although u still get the same properties and the ability to knock them clear across the screen the shit is like using an alpha counter now as far as damage.

Ah man. ass city.

where is the new vid?

I’m sure Honda and Gief mainers will be glad to know that s.HK is special cancellable now.

Well the first hit any ways yeah. LOL.

Can’t wait for that vid. Kids are gonna be crying about Sagat again.

The last hit of tiger knee, from Alioune, does indeed seems to do 30 damage, but i don’t think he have training mode data of the first hit. Also, EX TU ~ AS TU for 380 damage for 2 meters?

Cr.lk Cr.lk Cr/st lp, HK , AS (first hit) , crlp /mp ( would mp work?) , TU.

I can’t wait to see the video! Alioune vids never cease to amaze me!

Only if sagat gets an uppercut that hits from mid screen on frame 5… and his cr lp/mp has its range considerably increased and is still special cancelable. That combo would be useful though for people that need like 4 seconds worth of hit confirmation before committing to a TU.

All that is only the second hit. They probably switched the damage around between first and second hits, so if you get both hits in, say, a combo, you’ll probably still get 100+ damage. It’s a fair tradeoff to be honest. Tiger Knee WAS retarded, there really is no question about that.
