Sagat strategy / combos / discussion

Blanka isn’t a bad matchup for sagat imo.

Sirlin said this in regards to tiger knee in his changes guide to sagat:

“And no, you can?t juggle with a super after a tiger knee unless you?re making a combo video.”

I dont understand

i.e. it is nearly impossible to connect normally in a match. From what I can see, you’d only get an extra two hits anyway.

To add to the above post, as far as I can tell, TK into super is pretty situational, much like Ken’s hp srk, hp srk, super juggle. That said, I saw Choi use it to finish someone off in a video once. Further more he managed to combo into the TK off of a stun.

I dunno why, but I thought there was some goofy properties he was hinting at.

Me too, kinda. I had imagined he could only get it to work on the new speed 0, the one with no frame skipping at all. He has said it was a gift for combo video addicts, or something.

Quick question, sorry if its been asked earlier: Doesn’t sagat’s crossup miss a large portion of the cast when they’re crouching? Provided that they hold down and towards upon getting up from a knock down, wouldn’t they block all meaty jumping forwards, and duck all imperfectly timed ones?

If they’re holding down/toward, they won’t block any jumping attack, though you may be right about it missing against some of the cast.

Time to bring this thread back!

Here’s information that you may already know, but I figured I’d post it since it’ll be a while before my FAQ is fully updated…

Cross-ups:

Jumping short: (Standing) Misses Guile and Sagat; Works on everyone else (though difficult to connect on Dhalsim, Cammy, and Fei Long); (Crouching) Works on E. Honda, Zangief, Dhalsim, T. Hawk, Fei Long, Boxer, and Dictator; Misses everyone else.

Jumping forward: (Standing) Works on everyone; (Crouching) Misses Chun Li, Blanka, Guile, Cammy, and Dictator; Works on everyone else.

Most reliable cross-up: Jumping forward.

lol haven’t seen these in a minute.

Is there like a sagat guide for hdr?

Read the thread and if you still have any questions ask and please try to be specific because asking for a sagat guide is too broad for you to get the answer you want. There’s no real definitive way to play any character just tips on what works well and what doesn’t both of which are detailed within this thread.

how u combo into super can’t do that shit

:qcf::d::mk::df::r::p:

I talk about super cancelling in general in my HDR Cross-up, Link, and Combo FAQ on GameFAQs.com. Go check it out. :slight_smile:

I buffer it and it still doesn’t come out but I know combo into super the hardest in sf2 than any other game after it. What block strings I should use? Also is there any videos of good hdr sagat players I can watch.

I despise vega, blanka, Bison. How do you approach these cunts.

Read the fucking thread, seriously do you think it’s 10 pages of us saying how cool sagat’s banana shorts are?

:rofl:

I like where this is going. We should turn this into a thread about Sagat’s banana shorts. In the Dee Jay thread, we are talking about the “MAXIMUM” pants and Dictators shiny shin guards.

And why does Blanka have to tea bag every person that he beats with his super? It looks really bad on Akuma who has his mouth wide open.

I’m just saying.
