Sagat Match Ups and Video Thread - Ultra

Marz you scallywag you!! (yes i’m a pirate) we love you for this!

Yea we’ll get to see Bonchan vs Smug at Topanga in a couple weeks as well. Should be interesting.

Bonchan vs Smug from TWL 2

Bonchan plays the matchup much better than Sanford does

Nice one nodoze!

Here’s part 2 of the Sagat punishes video on several characters in the game. By our very own Highlandfireball!

Here’s a video to help improve zoning…yeah, i know im talking to myself, crickets and tumbleweed, but this was too good to pass up. on the off chance anybody still visits this place, check it out. Lots of useful info on how to zone effectively.

Credit to Highlandfireball.

Well it’ll fire up again when Sagat get’s announced in SF5 :wink:

I have the sneaking suspicion he will be omitted from this game. Call me a cynic, but with all the talk of zoning being weak in SFV, the king simply making an appearance would be a win for me.

Made an account to comment on that video. I’m coming back to street fighter from a long break. This will help me getting back into my groove! Thanks a lot!

Dieminion consistently beating bonchan. That little hop-kick that guile does to bypass low ts in the midrange was the decider in the match. I didnt even know the kick could be used that way, believe it or not.

Another thing that shocked me in the match is that dieminion was able to throw a sonic boom from about half screen, trade with a ts and still have enough time to dash forward and fierce punch sagat’s high ts recovery… madness.

Well played by dieminion, that was a solid, solid performance…was feeling for bonchan throughout…guess we can add him to the list of momochi and daigo as one of bonchan’s boogie men, lol.

Ok guys, (those of you who still visit this place anyway) stupid question time. When fighting ryu…he stands at the range where if he jumps and sticks his roundhouse out, he can hit you, but if he doesnt and you dp on reaction, you miss and he punishes. I know some of you are thinking kara dp would solve the problem, but its not very practical seeing as i’ll need lighning quick reactions to do it in the middle of a match where said Ryu is dancing back and forth, whiffing normals and throwing fireballs.

So, kara dp notwithstanding, what do i do? I end up stand blocking and that means he puts me in blockstun and he then he is almost in upon landing, then i have to deal with the pressure of his faster normals upclose. Standing hk works sometimes, but its so vulnerable and often gets stuffed. low ts trades with the roundhouse sometimes.

You can try the high tigers from that range. This tactic is actually quite effective on the flip side and I use it myself. Since Sagats j.hp reaches out so far and connects to kara uppercut , you can jump in and Ryu cannot DP , he may use far HK but runs the equal threat of losing. It’s a good way of gaining screen back relatively risk free.

Next time, beat him to the punch and use it yourself!

Thanks highland. Good advice on the high ts…will look into that. I use the jump in hp at times, guess will have to be more deliberate with it. Seen the highlight vid. Good stuff man…compared to your other vid this new one was actually a lot more impressive.

The online matches vid? That was really more to show buttons in certain matches. The new one was more about entertainment. Obviously you can’t style on everyone, Sagats too damn hard to play like that!

I’ve got a FT5 set of me vs a good Ryu player if you want me to upload it? Might give you some spacing ideas? Really it’s 100% about who has the better spacing since both characters have really similar tools. The HK is the answer for long range jumps, but I understand it can be tough. You have to be really quiet at that range because that’s exactly the jump in range.

Also I did put a video together for your questions , just not had time to edit it !

Yoooo, are you even asking me!!! yes please!!! Upload that…sharpish!! lol at the risk of sounding demanding, you know i love ya man. I think a lot of people could learn from it besides myself. post it up here.

Oh and good looking out regarding the other vid. Will wait patiently for it. Thanks.

I have some vids of me vs ryu players. Will upload them for critiquing later.

I struggle in the Ryu match as well. I know the MU and what I’m doing wrong I just find myself always losing.

One of the most important things about the Ryu match is to move forward as much as you can. Even after a neutral fireball exchange or a block, dash up. Ryu kills Sagat when he gets him into the corners.

Evil Ryu is much harder than Reg.

SCR 2015!! Bonchan! how ya like them apples!

I’m going through all of VOD looking for all of the Bonchan matches.

What do I do vs Decapre :c
