Sagat Q&A: Ask simple questions here!

awesome, thanks for the replies guys, I’m guessing if the safe jump beats viper, it’ll beat any 5f uppercut like cammys? also, I’ve never done any option selects, when u mean HK with a TU, when should I input the TU?

also been grinding a lot online, there’s this one spacing where I can NEVER anti-air, even when I see it comming:
it’s when characters such as ryu, cammy, sakura jump at me from a distance where the tip of their hk (usually at an angle) will be at the edge of my head… it always stuffs my TU… am I just reacting too slow, or should I be using another aa?

There is actually a video on the throw option select online and it’s done by Javitz(solid, SOLID player). I however do not know if they changed the frames on the TK to make it not work anymore :S Been a while since I played.

About the tip jump attacks it might be that you’re doing it late, but it’ll be better if you do a Kara TU. St.hk is great for empty jumps, but if it gets stuffed or trades it doesn’t work in Sagat’s favour.

Use a very late LP Uppercut or cst.MP

Yeah, Kara TU for me, throw slow high shots and just look for the jump. You can try just st.hk if you can react before the do.

Back dashing into low TS aint the worst idea either. Unless your near the corner.

any really good East Coast sagats here?

Not the best Sagat, but would love some Dudley Training if you don’t mind. GT: Killrilla

sure, uh
ill inv tonight
or i can try to make space for you in the mean time iono. tonight? 11pm? or when is best for you? mine is usually weeknights past 11pm because my brother isn’t eating my internet bandwidth.

I’ll try to come on as well, late nights are best for me as well, ironically due to the same reason as you lol

just message me on xbox: MeLLoWEC

ill reply as to what time you want to play.

Hey guys, i months back there someone posted meaty fireball setups off both back and forward throws. But i forgot how to do them, it was something like forward throw, tiger knee whiff, then some fireball version. Any one have any they use? It was really good because after that you could kara another fireball or option select or something

let me know if you need some more practice, aggressive sagat i like.

I’ll definitely let you know when I get some free time again. I can see why the match up is difficult for Sagat but I learned a lot. Can you just tell me if I’m correct with what I post just in case people do not follow false tips?

-Throwing limbs out can be curtains if the Dudley has his footsie game on point(much like MeLLoW).
-Dudley can be safe jumped easily until he has an ex-bar
-Work on timing to DP short-swing blows, see them coming and TU
-Sometimes just eat the throw if you have too, Dudley’s frametraps are very sick and lead into incredible damage.
-Dudley’s AA game is pretty situational, some AA’s often trade or miss unless Dudley is ON point(much like MeLLoW lol). That’s why I suggest empty jumping to throw off the timing(s)

sagats best normals vs dudley is really st.hk, cr.mp/cr.mk (lol really)
dudley’s HP DP is 3f startup (no inv) so can still be safejumped (thanks capcom)
ex dp is duds best reversal wake up (4f startup)

sagat can’t jump in on dudley at all, st.MK, cr.HK, far st.MP, even cr.HP beats sagats jump in clean if done early st.MK > sagats if he jumps 95%.
sagat has to block, he can be safejumped and it’s ugly sometimes i just feel bad for sagat when he’s knocked down esp with dudley’s backthrow setup perfectly.
on reacting with dp you can beat ssb or any poke before he reels back in. ssb is not inv except EX, but if you get counter hit, dudley can juggle you into the corner for 300+ stun (depends on meter you’re planning to waste)

all of sagats far standing pokes can be whiff punished, and dudley can just counter poke sagat for pretty much free. sagat is easy to juggle like deejay and balrog, so he can easily be stunned > reset > round ender. sagats normals are really not so good so lose to duds st.HP, f.HP. sagat gets cornered first 10 seconds of the match if he begins to walk back and chuck plasmas.

um… dudley > sagat 6-4 or better tbh, but i wanna play sanford to prove it. sagats comeback potential is just as good as dudleys, i guess that’s something lol.

well fst.LK gets stuffed like nobody’s business but why does nobody use or talk about cr.LK and fst.MP (when it won’t whiff)? kinda understand that fst.MP is rather risky to challenge Dudley with the 10f start up (might walk out of range) but pretty lost on why nobody uses cr.LK. range doesn’t feel that bad.

someone please report kstoute for vulgar language, hurt me feelings and i dislike that. plz plz

kthnx pce.

edit: nvm plz no report. he said kappa so everything nullifies kthnxpce.

LOL mellow u would <3 he knows im just joking but everything he said is right

k you’re forgiven.

Why don’t I see AA cl strong cancelled into tiger knee for crossup and fake crossup shenanigans?

How hard does Sagat hit compared to other characters? I know Cammy, Cody, Makoto, Gouken, Eryu, Dudley do a ton of damage. How does he compare to these characters and how high would you rank his damage out of the cast ?

He does not do a tremendous amount of damage, that is not his forte. His damage isn’t bad, but doing good damage will take two bars.
