Sagat is definitely a bad matchup for laura

Pick Zeku for that
Speaking of the newcomers, do we have values of forward/back walk speed of g and sagat?
SFV diff has it in tiny ass letters under certain scripts.
If I’m looking at the right place should be.
Sagat .0365 F/ .0277 B
G .0376 F/ .0300 B
Similar but G a tad snappier. 3 is about where you wanna be minimum for back walk. Doesn’t kill you if you aren’t, but makes back walking out of buttons and shimmies pretty doable if you are about there. Sagat is basically light on his feet compared to last game.
So they are both between Alex/Laura/Cody and Fang as far as forward walk speed goes? You posted a list few days ago and they had 3.8 and 3.2 respectively
I’ll check it out now and edit in a sec.
Oh yeah actually it was like a month ago that I posted the walk speeds. Luckily I know how to use Discourse and bookmarked it.
Alex/Laura/Cody: F = 3.8 (Cody exact 3.845)
FANG: F = 3.2
With that looks like Sagat and G both walk a notable speed faster forward than Fang and basically are inches off from Alex/Laura/Cody

Claw might be a small issue for Sagat but nobody uses Claw so who cares. Claw’s pokes will probably be annoying.
Sagat isn’t losing to Sim, period. Kara DP him up the cooter.
Cammy will probably be around the 5/5 area, slight edge to Cammy.
Don’t know about Balrog, Laura and R. Mika yet since I haven’t fought them.
My FIRST game online with Sagat was with a Super Diamond Menat and I got bodied so I’m not going to count that match since I had P.E.S, Post Evo Salt.
Probably habit as well due to SF4, I dunno why but i swear his HK has like 3 different juggle properties (Queue Akhos) he has the usual CC state, the usual juggle where you can DP and then weird ass float. I think the weird float has no juggle state.
I remember in training mode I was trying to practice EX drill punishes with his stHK/fHK and depending on when I hit her out of it, the above happened shrugs
Edit: Also meaty stHP stLP DP is HNGGGGGGGG I wish he had his meaty crHP crlp DP combo for the huehue

For those who are interested, UYU NL, the Korean Cammy player, is playing Sagat right now at https://www.twitch.tv/jungjil. And his Sagat’s looking pretty good.

Gachikun returning to the King, NL picking up the King (he was Ryu before Cammy any way), the kings are out to prove they can do more than flip burgers.
All this King talk and and here I am, wondering if Nemo will make G work well enough for him to pull at tournaments.
That would make me a very happy old lady.

Maybe he loses to Cammy cause she is OP but not cause of the character design, he certainly have the tools to out neutral her. There is no way on earth that he loses to Chun-Li, worst case scenario for him is an even matchup and it is most likely winning for him. I can’t see how he loses to Laura as well when she have to jump and he have a DP and most everything he does throws her far away.
Balrog will probably be a hopeless matchup, that i can see.
Sagat vs Mika will also be in his favor as much as Guile vs Mika is in Guile’s favor. Just that Mika’s nature makes her able to not play the MU once she is in. But he can zone her out for sure. And again, strong zoning plus a DP means bad MU for Mika and Laura.

We need more Saglock talk because G is shaping up to be one of the best SF characters ever it seems, he has people who don’t play fighting games like em’ I guess you could say he has that “Q” vibe…just a overall good character design
Also you all who use G are slepeing on his old fashion costume or w/e it is, I think that’s as dope as the Q outfit

G is like two balance patches in his favour away from being tournament viable.
Basically they need to do something about how his presidential level works. Either make it a timer like Hakan’s oil or let him start at something higher than 1 (starting at 3 will be broken though). Or maybe let him increase by two steps when cancelling from an EX move. The fact he can simultaneously be the worst and one of the best characters during a match means he’s hard to balance which is probably why he’s in this state right now.

Make G a charge character :^)

Nothing the king hasn’t dealt with before. Ibuki can do the same thing except she has way better offense than Chun and air EX kunai.
