Can someone help me out with some Sagat hit confirms? I’m new to Sagat, I got most things down zoning, footsies, pseudo-rushdown but I seem to want to rushdown too much so I’m trying to calm that down. I’m used to using Cody, the king of frame traps, and I know Sagat’s cr.lk is good for frame traps so I assume he has some. I get pretty good results from using Sagat, I naturally knew the DP, FADC, Stepkick xx Ultra so It isn’t too hard to come back from bad games. I can pull games easier than before but it seems like my Sagat play hasn’t evolved since I started using him (about 2 weeks).
What’s everyone’s favourite taunt? I was a big fan of his laugh (five, I think) but I feel like it’s just too insulting.
Been a while since i posted here a few updates i havent been playin a whole lot but still been hitting tourneys. Won 2 singles tourneys as well a 2v2 with toxy so i’ve won 3 outta the last 4 tourneys here in melbourne which has been good. hows everybody been?
trying to level up! lol
getting blownup by gen as usual
lol uber you got a fling going on with gen dont ya hahahahaha
i wish the old leukemic fart would drop dead already. If there is any match that is enfuriating for me is the old mofo’s playstyle
its an annoying matchup i agree. patience is so important against him. theres actually a way to fake sj his dp after back throw i was messing around with it . bitbox trick its with jhp i’ll try figure it out when i got some time could help in the matchup a little for ya
i got time till september to figure it out. But right now im playing the player more then the mastering the matchup itself and that won’t do me any good in the long run.
His bloody jump in j.hp hitbox is what gets on my nerves. Air to air? nah u cant beat him only pre-emptive nj.hp
Sagat didnt make top 16 or 8, but we did see some sagat players take out some big names at Evo. looking LI joe beating Ricky.
And on a completely unrelated side note, i can no longer do the fake rh… any one got tips on how i can get it back or have i just gone mad??
double tap…thats it
ehhhh i must be getting scrubby again. better go practice
I’m not that new to street fighter i just suck at it. I really like sagat and i just need some pointers in EVERYTHING especially the timing on how to do the combos. If there is a site that can show me how to properly time them can someone anyone let me know i’m willing to putt in the time i just need to know i’m doing it right. I don’t mind doing the same thing a thousand times i just want to do it right a thousand times.
Is there any point of Fake Kicking?
Or is it just a psychological kind of thing?
i use it to try and bait jumps and fireball ultras
read thru the stickies, probably every question you have has been answered already.
As far as practical combos (especially for beginners), you basically need a wiff punish combo (a med attack xx hp.TU or hk.TK depending if you are going for damage or moving him into the corner), and his hit confirm (cr.lk - cr.lk - cr.lp xx TU). Once you get this down you can FADC the TU into f.HK -> Ultra 1 or 2. As far as the timing, get into training mode and practice. No shortcuts, sorry man, you just gotta learn. I try and press the 2nd cr.lk as the leg is heading back in, but you can plink the 2nd cr.lk to get an extra frame window. These two combos will set up a solid game plan.
However, realize that although Sagat is powerful, he’s way tougher to play than most think and is no way an instant win button. He’s primarily a zoning character, and requires a lot of skill and patience to play effectively, and especially post-vanilla sf4, you have to work for your damage. You need to learn effective/safe tiger shots, baiting jump ins, safe Tiger knee spacing, and what to do when people get in on you.
Good luck!
Thanks for the advice also im not looking for an easy way out just a little guidance.
I was playimg online against a cammy and i did a ex tn and it crossed her up when she was crouching. Anyone else have this happen for them?
Yeah, that happens on certain characters when they are crouching. I don’t remember if its character or spacing specific, but it can happen frequently with ex. TK
