Taking Sagat to the next level

I hate you for this and love you for it at the same time.

yea thanks magmac i got the timing thing down and can do it much more consistently

Does sagat have any real solid option select at all ?

Other then the jump in option select DP that all shotos type characters have I don’t think he has any others.

But hey we can all mess around in training mode and find out.

Whoa, where have i been! What is this option select DP that you speak of?:xeye:

Man I really need a stick to take Sagat to the next level, because without it im just an average player

:rofl:

Getting the stick itself won’t make you better at all you realize this right?

All it will do is make your execution better/more consistent but that also depends on your skill level.

Generally your level of skill reflects inversely on how much a stick improves your execution.

If you are a complete noob that can’t do special move motions at all getting a stick will help enormously, but if you are a seasoned player getting a stick will probably only let you hit links a tad more consistently thanks to plinking and double tapping.

That said, getting a stick is always a priority if you want to be competitive.

emblem lord we should play a marth ditto sometime

You trying to get our asses kicked on this site?

lol.

But seriously I don’t touch smash anymore. Brawl killed it for me and good riddance.

:rofl:

I played marth as well. TOP TIERS FOR LIFE

i’m going to have to admit the same :rofl:

Figured I’d add this. I while ago in this thread I posted about Ryu’s who constantly walk forward, spam crouching foward so knee’s whiff, get ultra / super meter and press you into a corner. Go read that first… Now this:

I was playing with Chris Hu at CTF. I was playing him on XBL, couldn’t stand the 5 bar yet laggy game so I immediately drove down there haha. Anyway, he caught me in that trap. I won the match by kara TU THROUGH a fireball into ultra FTW. I kept forgetting that works. So, basically, read what I posted before - see if that applies to anyone you play against, then kara TU there mid range fireball. The reason why you kara tu instead of tossing a fireball back is you can get reaction ultra’d / super’d at that distance. Hope this helps.

Yup. Works really well vs Seth too.

Pretty much any character that you can do this to on pure reaction.

Now that I think of it. You mentioned seth. Think we could kara DP jumping fierce punch from seth and dhalsim and ultra those fools. I’m sure it would work, as a normal DP already works.

Useless information: Sagat can actually punish Seth’s st.HP with a kara Tiger Uppercut. However, no smart Seth player will ever use st.HPs at that distance.

Sim and seth jump back fp lose to knees. From there you can low ex tiger fadc ultra them. If sim whiffs jump back+fp by accident freestyle on the fool. What you have to look out for is teleports but where the knee comes to play is safe unless low on life. Sim will be too high to deal any damage to you. Also if you don’t have enough meter for a ex fireball FADC to ultra or dont have ultra yet… double knee that fool. :smokin:

Also what you guys know about cross up knee setups off throw? :wink:

I know plenty.

But I’m not gonna let you bite my shit anymore lolololol.

But seriously, just experiment with it. This is one aspect of Sagat you really just need to feel out for yourself. The spacing and timing is very strict and varies between characters.

Josh where you cracking at now that art’s out of town?
