There is absolutely no need to ever jump on a standing Sagat – That’s guessing. You must advance by focusing shots from far screen, using lp rekka from close range and also neutral jump. As above the odd EX Chicken Wing from in close is not a bad idea but anything mid-far you’ll eat a TU all day. It’s not hard to uppercut Chicken Wing as I do it all the time myself. Sagat has the second slowest walk speed in the game and our walk speed is decent</span><span style=“font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;”> </span><span style=“font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;”>so mobility is a real problem for the king.<span style=“color: rgb(34, 34, 34);”> He will naturally walk himself back and you must let him. A good Sagat will rarely jump forward so you can somewhat concentrate on the ground game. He will however throw out the occasional neutral jump to catch rekka. Stay calm and use a combination of cr.hp, lp rekka and cr.lp xx rekka to close in ground and keep him in the corner. You will face a few what I would explain as “mexican stand offs” where you are both hovering around 0 on block after an exchange and Sagat will try to TK and we will try to rekka. Generally it’s not a bad idea to try and keep the pressure on though, like I said above TK hardly does any damage but the throw back is a good result for Sagat. It’s one of those things in the game where you just have to make a decision whether to stick or twist. </span></span></p><p class=“MsoNormal” style=“font-size: 10pt; line-height: 13.5pt; background-color: white; vertical-align: baseline;”><b><span style=“color: rgb(31, 73, 125); border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;”><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=“MsoNormal” style=“font-size: 10pt; line-height: 13.5pt; background-color: white; vertical-align: baseline;”><b><span style=“font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;”>Corner game</span></b><span style=“font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34);”><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=“MsoNormal” style=“font-size: 10pt; line-height: 13.5pt; background-color: white; vertical-align: baseline;”><span style=“font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;”>This is where the game will get played for the most part.

I would stand just a tad outside close and use cr.lp xx rekka, combined with backdashes, overhead, close and crouching mp and tenshin. I won’t go into depth here as Fei players should know how to run corner pressure. The st.hk will catch a Sagat player trying to jump back or neutral in the corner.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=“MsoNormal” style=“font-size: 10pt; line-height: 13.5pt; background-color: white; vertical-align: baseline;”><span style=“font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;”><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=“MsoNormal” style=“font-size: 10pt; line-height: 13.5pt; background-color: white; vertical-align: baseline;”><b><span style=“font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 176, 80); border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;”>Corner set ups<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=“MsoNormal” style=“font-size: 10pt; line-height: 13.5pt; background-color: white; vertical-align: baseline;”><span style=“font-size: 10pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;”>1) After a rekka series you can forward dash, back dash and then take a step forward into j.mp and this will cross up.
