Sagat is disappointing

sagat forums are lightyears behind all the other forums. Need a new ssf4 matchup thread focused on new character matchups.

Less bickering, more information sharing.

^ well then stop complaining and post new shit lol

…lol!!!

sagat is still fun =P

I main Sagat now that he’s not gay tier, but I love how this forum is dead after Super release. Any good BnB’s I should be doing besides c.sk > c.sk > c.jp xx TU?

At least Sagat didn’t get Sean’d

I still don’t think any of Sagat’s nerfs were major. At all.

His standing short was a big nerf.

People who say Sagat is too strong probably don’t play him because if you ever had Chun li, Ryu, or Ken get all over you and because have a big body you can’t just slip out of their traps and run. Ya people saying he is too strong don’t know what they are talking about

Why would a slow zoning character have ANY character get all over them in the first place? Tiger shots keep them away, anti-air shoryukens keep them from jumping in, tiger knee keeps them from focusing in…

Not to clown you but there are several moves in the game from teleports to dive kicks to air hurricane kicks to invincible rolls that disrupt any standard fireball uppercut pattern. Then once these characters are in its no contest Sagat has the worst normal moves in the game.

Something the in general that bugs me though is him not having the normal move near invincible air counter most if not all of the other fireball characters in this game have crouching fierce as a easy safe air counter I want the priority those air counter moves have on Sagat’s standing roundhouse. Every time I jump at a Guile they love the fact they can easy counter me out the air everytime I just want to do it back

Not to clown you but the way you play makes it sound as if you’re a bad Sagat. TU rapes divekick, and it can even trade for F.RH > Ultra, teleports get punished easily. Hurricane kicks? Lol. Also, Sagat shouldn’t be jumping in when opponents are crouching in the first place, you can get shoryu’d > Ultra, and anti aired. Sagat’s S.sk wasn’t a bad normal in Vanilla, it was probably one of the best normals to keep pressure up.

Also, you’re playing the Guile matchup wrong.

Have you guys started using c.Fierce as an anti-air?

Try that shit. It is insanely good; key is to do it late. It has beat every jump in clean so far for me especially Ryu’s brainless jump in feirce along with akumas.

I think Sagat is pretty solid still; the TU trade is in his favor which is surprising. The only thing that hurts my game is the fact lk. tiger knee is total trash and has to be spaced perfectly to be safe on block. It really sucks having every character footsy mind fuck us without us having a safe option of poking them away. I have to do alot of low tiger shots now which is really risky. Everything is really 50/50 now, even if you have more skill than your opponent.

I know what you are trying to say if people did what you are talking about it would worked but they don’t do those moves right on top of you they do it to just get close once in their normal move range they win

still a couple good sagats.
just seems like all of them are too lazy to post anything/waiting to know enough to post.

not trying to say im good or anything, but ive figured a thing or two out concerning match ups with the new characters and vanilla characters ultras.
just dont have the time to be posting things, blah blah blah im kinda lazy ect.

maybe if someone started a thread…
then again everything i know someone else probably does as well.

aaaahhaAHAHAahhahaHAAHahHAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA#%&$#**##@@!!!

name the character who has worse normals than Sagat so I can start laughing

Viper

/discussion.

hahahaha, clearly a sagat player who only tiger shot and TU.
