Whaaat. I’ve had these setups for months… i just hate these forums. Even ask art I knew about crossup knee in like march. I’m saying what do you guys know… I’ll share some input if you guys arnt just typing up stuff from old nico video dumps theres way better specific setups in matchups. See what you can do vs Blanka with HK kara +lk knee. Also air to air to ex knee setups are dirty too…
Also ex tiger flame hits sim from close universal jump back fp even if you get hit by it.
Playground Legend I crack out at my house… just been playing online if you want to try and get a sess together hit me up. I have room to invite some fools over.
Sagats here need to kara punish charge characters more… Blanka can actually be punished by f+lk kara hp DP after a standing block but it takes clutchness like a mofo. Honda is free I’m sure you guys know about F+HK kara dp on headbutt… if not DO IT. This doesn’t have to deal with kara dp punishers but vs rog and bison any mk/mp, fp/fk charge punch/scissors is ultra reactable. I’ve been finding bisons trying to close space from being pushed out are actually becoming an easier matchup if you see a bison do a far s.rh for a perfect mk knee range… get ready its not that hard… Get them nerves up everybody.
Shotos have been doing ambiguous hurricane setups… this works on everyone but ken as he can be the most ambiguous of the bunch but vs ryu/akuma… if hes going to put you in air tatsu vortex and you cant help your dp from whiffing just know a late ultra will always auto correct for you.
Also from what I noticed in Year 2 SF4… Counterhit setup combos are you friend. Can’t do much online but trust me learn prime footsie close range games and see what can come out of it.
Also vs viper s.lk -> to whatever shenanigans are great but once she gets meter and you’re too autopilot with it she can ultra you free. Good to just play footsies with her with s.lk and bait her to be stupid.
EmblemLords what is there to bite? Block jump ins and dp instantly? Nah i’m good
Ok you just invented those I guess, I guess i can’t pace a match and mix things up. Well I’ll be saving the rest of my sagat stuff for not this thread. good day sirs. :china:
As to the thread question… Been playing Sagat more lately and next level Sagat has to be doing as many kara-ts’s as possible. Shit is so fun/fucked up it’s awesome. Especially after like a knockdown, ts, then kara-shot, they try to jump kara-tu, lol too good.
Haven’t played since 8 on the break a few weeks back. And a month before that tourney. Lsat’s this saturday. I’ll be training again soon enough hopfully haha. Just felt like posting to remind you guys to post up some good shit so I can learn it all when I start playing again.
Once you gain the ability to kara TU/knee on reaction shit gets crazy.
Can’t tell you how many times me and Nerdjosh played each other and did a jump in when we thought it was safe and just ate Kara TU for dinner.
Shit sucks when you get hit by it rofl.
Anyway, been doing alot of research lately on who is free on wake-up and what you can do to rape them. Seriously Sagat can win games off one knockdown vs half the cast if you know what you are doing.
I don’t know wether it is a gimmick or yet known. Probably it is. But lately I’m sparring with my girlfriend for fun. My main is also Sagat, but I use different characters on her. She also uses Sagat. Then she just FA lvl 1 my jump in the air and immediately Ultra. It was by accident, but I was amazed by that.
I haven’t trained it yet, but I think it’s possible to do it consistently. E.g. you can do this and TK when you don’t have the Ultra. IMO it’s more effective than a level 2 FA, coz the opponent can block it, combo or throw you. You have to release it fast when it connects and not more than a lvl 1 FA! This one could be another additional setup into Ultra as AA.
Anyways I haven’t seen it on youtube or in the online/offline matches, besides that game with her… lol
I’m hoppin into training mode right now to see if I can duplicate this
edit: wow… totally super easy to do. just need good timing, and it needs to be FA lvl 1. it also works as a counter hit, the jump in just needs to connect way high on sagat. like they have to be near shoulder or high chest.
pffft. shoulder or high chest is LP Uppercut TRADE CITY. CATCH THE 5:45 EXPRESS TO SMASH TOWN, FIRST STOP BEAT DOWN CITY, NEXT STOP ULTRA VILLE. ALL ABOARD!!!
if you hit an anti air focus counter hit, you can dash foward and F+HK twice, or F+hk into ultra (have only done that with one F+HK, though in theory 2 should work as well)
Anti air focus on non-counter can be followed up with TU if you dont have ultra. or a TU FADC F+HK ultra for super damage scaling.
Sagat Broken? No. Overpowered? Yes. I’ll agree to that. Hell, it’s the reason I use him. Like Sanford Kelly said, “Pick the top tier. Fuck it. Tired of working for the money, I want the money to work for me.”
It’s true. IMO, if I’m competing, I want the most advantages I can get. If it involves me using the best character, and the most overpowered, then yes, I’ll use him. Although in Blazblue I won’t use Nu, she’s just freakin’ stupidly broke IMO, although it just might be my n00biness at the game.
To sum it up, at least IMO, Broken is where the character is basically unbeatable. Sagat isn’t unbeatable, although he DOES take more thought and patience to beat then the rest of the cast, I think.
awaits flaming and disagreement
@ ilovebooty: That’s good stuff. I’ll have to try it out when I get the chance. One more weapon in my arsenal.
Also air to air to ex knee setups are dirty too…
… I just watched an interesting vid where the Sagat player hit-confirmed kara-TU off a j.FP at max range.
