Sagat Q&A: Ask simple questions here!

Well spaced s.lk/s.lp to TK.

Or when ur up close you can do c.lk, c.lk, s.lk/s.lp to TK.

Is the main point of pressuring with safe tiger knees to hope that your opponent misses a block? Or is there a better reasoning behind it.

Hello, What is the BEST way to fight against VEGA. I always panic and dont know how to get him should i chase him?

What to do about Vegas Flying attacks?

Thanks

Honestly it’s just an easy way to stay in their face and keep the pressure on.

Your mentality during a match shouldn’t be “I want to hit you”

Your mentality should be “I want to limit your options and control the momentum of the match”

Hope that helped.

Random question: Is there any situation with any character in which when a character throws out his ultra without comboing into it can sagat not ultra back on reaction (not counting sagat already doing his ultra, or zangief)?

here’s an idea

I have not tested it, I’ve been busy lately, but I’d assume Rose’s ultra would stuff you, here’s why. Sagat’s ultra is invincible for the first few frames, assuming rose does her ultra from a distance, and you do sagat’s ultra on reaction, you might still get sham-wowed. Again, I have no tested it because im too busy, but that just might be the case.

Possibly seth’s? Same deal, depending on distance. Basically, anything that sucks you in, or hits you from afar.

I’d throw blanka’s ultra out there too, just because it’s properties are so weird.

Someone try these out in training mode, might take you ten minutes tops, let us all know what the results are, I would but I won’t have time till after tuesday.

First few frames?

Sagat’s Ultra has a whopping 12 frames of invincbility.

That’s 1/5th of a second.

1/5th of a second isn’t as long as you’d think. I’ve had a sagat player ultra me for what was gonna be a chip win in the corner. I did an EX TU and not only was I safe because of invincible properties, I also hit him for the win, so he can’t be invincible for too long. The characters I mentioned do their ultra’s from a distance, it takes time for sagat to close the distance with the TK portion of his ultra, I’m assuming the opponent is spaced in such a way that sagat’s invincibility could have a chance of wearing off.

You did ur EX TU a couple of frames later. If you both did it on the same frame you would pass through one another unharmed.

12 frames of invincibility is quite alot and for the record EX TU has 11 frames of invincibility.

yeah i got ex messiah kicked out of ultra at the tournament today. it was a pity too because i set it up and i thought i had killed him because i saw the EX flash of his stupid messiah kick as he was trying to chip me and i knew he would try it right after my safe tiger knee like he did the round before but it beat ultra clean.

Sagat’s ultra beats rose’s though, I know that for sure as i’ve done it in matches and laughed like a maniac.

Probably been asked before

does anyone know how to do kara (f+hk version) tiger shot? Any trick or tip for this?

not sure

I’m not positive, not to steal your question but what’s the difference between f.lk and f.hk kara tiger shot?

f.lk kara tiger shot takes a much bigger step forward

while f.hk moves about half that distance.

I’ve been studying up on some of the Jpnse Sagat vids (mostly Mago) and he’ll do after like a tk knockdown a mk.ts if they quickstand they’ll have to block it, if not he’ll do f.hk kara.ts after and it’ll hit them as they recover. So it covers both options, and leaves them at a pretty nice range for more fireball zoning, or if they jump it’s just at the right range to hit them in time with a TU after safely throwing another ts. Would be another option I could use in my zoning game.

Video Example:

49 secs = f+lk kara tiger shot
1:01 = f+hk kara tiger shot

nice find

Just watched the vid. Looks like he does a crouching fast tiger shot first, then the f.hk kara. I have not practiced this but it sounds like you have.

What are the 2 speeds used?

  1. The speed of the first fireball that stuffs a fast get up - NON Kara

  2. The speed of the second fireball that’s meaty and stuffs a normal wake up - F.HK Kara.

Is the only way to damage crouching block opponent is throw and full ex focus attack ?

Chip damage is your friend. Also Sagat has an overhead.

Looks like somebody didn’t hit up dat Trial mode. :wgrin:

sagat’s f+hp hits high, chip damage from specials, at certain ranges you can jump straight up and hit mk immediately on the way up to instantly hit them in the head before they can react (but they can hit you back on the way back down even if you hit them, so use it as a finisher).

Here

Over head: Forward + FP

Level 3 focus attack: Hold medium punch medium kick

Throw: LP + LK

Cross up: jumping over an opponent for example: Left side to ride side. Using LK makes the opponent block from one side to another, and they have to be standing.

Neutral jump + medium kick right in front of them

If someone is crouch blocking you can just jump in with hard kick / medium punch… or anything really, they’re crouching. Aerial attacks require the opponent block high, you need to block jump ins high.

Chip damage from any super move, ex move, special move, ultra

Go do the trial mode, read the newbie / beginner thread on the main sf4 srk page and go play the game more.

I think they’re both mk though I’m not 100% sure
