Sagat strategy / combos / discussion

If you’re struggling with stuffing headbutts with Uppers, you’d be surprised at how effective Gat’s st. LP is at cleanly stuffing the fat bastard’s torpedo.

Zoolander was money when discussing the Hawk match: Hawks–like everyone else–is usually fixated on your Tiger Shots. You can use that to your advantage by using movement (pump fakes, feints, walking to and fro) to bait them into mistakes. Even better is that, because they are so obsessed with Shots, it’s fairly easy to tag them with st. MP/st.MK. Then when they try to guess and hit your limbs you easily sweep/Knee/Upper and start their frustrating guessing game all over again.

Ultracombo, you’re Ultra42 on PSN right? Do you agree with Sirlin that Fei has the advantage vs the pirate? It can be exceedingly difficult for him to get in if Sagat knows what he?s going to do. On the other hand, once Fei gets in, he can make short work of Sagat. I believe that anyone with a projectile (aside from Chun) has the edge on Fei.

Vs Honda on round start I think jumping back RH is the best option. Puts you in a good zoning position and if Honda does manage to get to you jump back RH kills him easy. Just don’t hold up back and press RH. Time your jumps.

For zoning the usual is two low shots and then high shot. Obviously mix it up on good players.

A smart thing to do vs a good Honda is one well timed low then a high shot. After the high shot your best options are block high and/or jump RH.

Intelligent use of jump roundhouse kills Honda.

Especially if they are dumb enough to Fierce headbutt you in the corner. Neutral jump one of those, crossup combo into dizzy = 90% easy :sad:

The best advice that was ever given to me dates back to AE on regular Xbox by KJ, he says:

“Yo my n***a Lights. Just throw tiger shots. Hit’em with shot after shot until you break their spirit and they either give up or quit”.

There’s no big secret to playing Remix Sagat. Throw tiger shots, roundhouse or fierce their jump-ins and Master the wake-up Tiger Uppercut. Oh yeah yeah and Jump-in short and standing short gives Bison, Blanka, Vega fits.
