Sagat's Challenge Mode

poisonousjuice:

for hard trial #4, I dont know what Morphiend was doing wrong but I can share my experience of hours doing it wrong and finally getting it.

If you have dan in the corner, it is very important to have space between the two of you for a better chance of him crumpling. I would try to stand as far away as possible but still be able to connect with the first crouching medium kick. and you have to release the focus attack the instant Sagat flashes.

Also you must dash after you successfully get Dan to crumple before doing the crouching medium punch.

The final thing that I wasn’t doing properly, and I’m not sure if it was already mentioned in this thread, but after Dan crumples, and you dash forward and crouch, you have to wait to the last possible moment to throw your medium punch. I would always dash and instantly be trying to pull off a crouching punch. it either didn’t connect or i’d do a tiger uppercut. after the dash, crouch, wait just a brief moment and throw the punch and immediately do the motion for tiger knee after the punch.

I hope that helps someone!

SPOT ON! I just finished TH4 with this bit of advice.

If you’re playing on a 360, push dan all the way to the right corner. Then for the spacing, put Sagat’s RIGHT BIG TOE underneath the “Y” in “Change Display”. Also, it helps to break the combo into 2 parts. Try standing there, getting a L2 focus, then dashing out to do the l.mp + tk. You gotta wait a fraction of a second when you get in close enough (wait 'til dan is on his knees) before you start the l. mp. For about an hour i was missing it and just connecting with the TK. After you got this down, throw the beginning in. Took me a few hours but the above advice I quoted is dead on.

Looking forward to TH5 now.

Hells ya mofos! Just finished TH5, stupid easier than TH4. Got it done in about 15mins. Missed w/ the ultra twice, but got it the 3rd time.

Invincible Tiger and Block Head Sagat are mine! Whoooozaa!

Thx for all the AWESOME help in this thread. You guys rock. If anyone needs help, hit me up on XBL or here.

I’m glad all my frustration and suffering was able to help at least one person The 5th one isn’t “easy” but compared to #4, it’s a piece of cake!

The_Judge_1 · March 25, 2009, 6:37am

Can anyone offer any tips for TH5? I’m having a tough time hitting the ultra after the EX uppercut. Am I supposed to buffer the move as Sagat comes to the floor or just pull off the 2xQCF as soon as he lands?

EDIT - Ain’t that a bitch. Lol. Literally as soon as I try it again after posting here I pull it off! For future reference, you just have to pull off the 2xQCF really quickly as soon as you land.

wussmonster · March 25, 2009, 5:50pm

you should be able to buffer the 2xqcf just after the last punch hits dan. then tap all 3 kicks on landing it you should have it.

congrats on TH5 completed.

for th4, give just like a nanometer of space between you two and have dan cornered into the right… when sagat starts his focus attack, watch his elbow… right when the tip of his elbow is about to hit the 4th bold grey line on the training area release… spam start to measure if it helps… you can have him cornered all the way in, this making measurements concise but some people prefer putting a little space YMMV

good luck

PERFECT I GOT IT after 15 minutes, thank you all.

System_1 · March 31, 2009, 7:59am

ech… finally, managed trial 3

my UP > FADC kept ending up as UP>Genocide… really annoying

System_1 · March 31, 2009, 10:47am

I got just completed all . Thanks to this thread.

Im having issues w/ #4, specifically the dash to land the c.mp. I can land c.mk>ts>fa lv2 crumple all day, but the dash and c.mp is owning me right now.

neemo6 · April 1, 2009, 9:24am

Alright finally got it!! I was dashing to late, problem was i was pressing f,f after the fa landed, not during the fa sequence. Also I had more luck w/ consistency starting out w/ Sagats right toe on the ‘a’ on “change display”. Trial 5, took a little bit but nowhere near as hard as 4.

andeRK83 · April 1, 2009, 12:16pm

finally got the sagat icons!!

System_1 · April 2, 2009, 8:19am

Am i retarded i can’t do the light punch to heavy kick link. Trial 5 on the normal. Anyone got some advice?

System_1 · April 7, 2009, 11:23pm

I cannot do sagats hard trial 5. I can c mp to tiger upercut by itself, but when I have to add in that little combo I keep messing up.

System_1 · April 11, 2009, 4:43am

What is the timing on when I’m suppose to do the T Destr.? Do I do it right when I land or start the combo while in the air?

wussmonster · April 17, 2009, 12:13pm

buffer the imput just after the last hit and press KKK right when you land

System_1 · April 18, 2009, 8:38am

Gonna have a bash at Sagats hard trial 4 tomorrow evening, tried and tried and find it painfully difficult. :wasted:

System_1 · April 18, 2009, 4:48pm

I know you all get tired of hearing the same questions over and over. None the less i am having trouble with ht2. I can link crouching light kick to heavy TU no prob. I can get all three lks about 20 percent of the time. My problem is i can not land a TU after linking multiple lks. I have no idea why though because as far as i know dan has the same recovery time whether you do 1 or 2 or 3 lks.

System_1 · April 18, 2009, 5:12pm

Try doing the 3 c.LK slower a little slower.
