Sagat Q&A: Ask simple questions here!

Just started playing sagat needs some new tips!

Which ultra is better?

Whats some small combos that I should be doing?

What should I do when trapped in a corner?

Best jumping in attack? I usally jump in with a HK

Best attack when im in the air?

Any other sagat tips?

cr.lk, cr.lk, cr.lp TU

Good BnB.

I like to jump in with j.mp

As for ultras… I prefer ultra 1. I would assume it depends on the match up.

I’ll leave the other questions for the vet sagat players. I tried my best lol

I do :qcb: :hk: :qcb: :p:

That reminds me of a pretty cool looking combo I do in training mode. It’s just the above to TU FADC fwd.rh ultra lol

I heard it was possible to tiger cannon after the scar. Is this true? I cant seem to get it.

is c.lp>s.lp>lk TK a true blockstring? is it good to use this in a TK trap? the reason I ask is because I played a Sagat using this a little against my bison and I couldn’t counterhit with c.lk ever, but I feel like it was because it was online… or is this really a solid way to keep the trap going?

This is a Bison specific block string. Not sure if it works as well on other characters though because the st. lp may not hit crouchers like it does on Bison

Sagat’s only true block string is c.lk, c.lp. That’s it.

How do you get out of a Vega Izuna Drop loop?

Delay TU and it’s a straight guess as to which side he is going for. Honestly if you get looped by a good claw you are probably going to die.

Just keeping it real.

whats your best option when dhalsim teleports behind your back.Seems like i get caught by this way too often

I don’t really know. I heard there was an U2 OS though.

If Dhalsim does instant-air teleport and ends up behind you, you can ALWAYS hit him out of it with st.jab.

The U2 OS will work only if you safejump Dhalsim on his wakeup and he uses teleport. If he does, U2 him and he’ll eat the Ultra.

Ah, I see. I didn’t bother learning option selects. I just figured they would be useful. Thanks for the education.

Sagat’s EX Uppercut > Ultra 1, anyone know of any good timing or visual cues to get this down consistently.

Right now I just buffer 1 QCF then the other + kick as soon as Sagat touches the floor but I don’t nail this down all the time and whiffing this hurts…

it’s easier on some characters. Hakan, you should never whiff it on him, it seems like there is like a 4 frame window to land it on him. But for visual cues, on many characters it’s a 1 frame link, so good luck on visually mastering a 1 frame link out of a move where his feet aren’t visible for that window.

Need help on a couple of option selects. I guess i dont understand the inputs, as its seems very difficult to insert a s.fierce in the middle of c.lk,c.lk and still get the two lk’s to link. Any tips? [media=youtube]EkuhcJjMNT8&feature=related[/media]

Also anyone know the inputs for this one? [media=youtube]A1SOxi6NfVU&feature=related[/media]

I know the first one is c.lk, s.hp, c.lk and the shp. you kinda have to get the shp as close to the second clk as possible.

the second one I believe is like this.

How do you best punish a chronic Jaguar Tooth’ing Adon?

predict and forward RH is quite good and safe if he decides to fall short. if he goes for ex jaguar tooth then just upper. you’ll probaly trade for better dmg.

I am just curious:

Why is it you think that there is no pro Sagat player at any tournament this time? He is still high tier…

I hope this isn’t the wrong thread, if so I am sry.
