Sagat Q&A: Ask simple questions here!

Just a quick question on the reasons some people use U2 over U1. What are they? haha

Does anyone know any good frame trap set ups for gat?

My guess is because U1 will miss alot of hits when done in the corner, whereas U2 always connects for full damage (even though it’s low damage, at least it’s reliable). Also it’s a tad bit safer if it misses bc it recovers faster and often times leaves enough space between you and your apponent for you to avoid being punished. I’m no expert, but that’s my take on it.

Even in corner U1 will outdamage U2. Sad, but true.

U2 usage is just match-up dependent. In some match-ups it’s the only thing keeping Sagat from being completely crushed like in the Gouki match-up for exmaple.

Damn, that is sad.

Besides Akuma and Blanka, what other match-ups are good for Ultra II? Adon, Dhalsim, Hawk maybe?

Any one with a fireball really but even then you could switch in U1. For Sim though U2 all the way.

i kno this question might have been answered already but im lazy to look back but wen sagat does his EX Scar what are his TU property changes so far i kno is the damgage 180,can juggle after TK or F.Roundhouse,and its Armor Breaker what else?

Check my blog. But nothing else.

Good read, sir, very informative.

I just have one question though. After you do the qcb x2 + P and stock it, does the buff last indefinitely until your next TU or will it wear off after a few seconds regardless?

Till your next TU.

Ah cool. In hindsight I now realize how much of a noob question that was. A little testing in the training room answered that one for me too. Ah well laughs at self.

I’ve started using it in my gameplay, but it’s no game changer. Just too many issues with it, as you noted in your blog entry. I will say this though, I think it’s completely idiotic to have to spend meter to power up Sagat so one TU can do the kind of the damage the Shotos do with theirs on a regular basis. Here’s to hoping they fix him in the arcade version rebalance.

Hey guys. I know that online points don’t mean as much as tourney wins as far as respect goes. This is coming from kind of a beginner (just got serious about trying to get good at sf about, well, since super came out…) anyway…Did you know that the PSN top ranked player in the world mains … drum roll…tense crowd silence…Sagat?! I checked it this afternoon. You can view their online profile and see who their most used character is, and the top ranked player uses Sagat. I mean, that’s gotta give us all a little hope huh? But I know this is a question thread and so far, i haven’t really asked one…so my question is this: Do you all think these online rankings are legit? Do people cheat? Even still, it was good to see Sagat on top.

I’m pretty sure one of the top XBOX players (Cat girl or some gay shit) is some BP-mining sociopath who pretends to be a teenage girl or something. So, it doesn’t really mean anything. It in theory CAN, I mean Daigo’s pretty high up there, right?, but it rarely means anything.

online points definitely count for something, there are a lot of factors to take into account though when looking at the leader boards though.
the amount of time people play online in ranked mode being the biggest one. Scrubydan is the highest ranked sagat on xboxlive and i know he isn’t a pushover.
I don’t really think there is a way to cheat, if you disconnect you get docked points. Other than that I don’t really see a way someone could “cheat” and get more points.
You don’t get points for losing and the more points you have the more you lose.

anyone over 6k im scared of hehe

btw is it wrong to play sagat like ken? i been having a lot more success being really offensive taking chances on dps and junk hehe

You too, with perseverance and random button presses, can be one of the top XBOX 360 SSFIV players.

And kevfactor, I had you in an Endless last night. Saying you take chances on DP’s is sort of an understatement.

Question

Dudley wtf?

i cant fireball that bastard. stupid ass dash, why do i have to rush him down. How do i do it? Does it start with fishing for a knock down, and when knocked down, do i abuse cr.lk?

Fuck you capcom for making Sagat a weak kitten like everybody else!!! I know his fireball game is there but it isnt as commanding as it should because of Ultra’s. Chances are its me, what am i doing wrong? can someone play me and tell me what im lacking?

Honestly Duds would still be a tough match in Vanilla because Tiger Shots don’t phase him. Also this:http://shoryuken.com/f333/journey-tigerlord-vs-dudley-243035/
