I don’t know what G is smoking, but it surely sounds like heavy stuff.

Why Sagat awakened Satsui no Hado? I though SNH was exclusive of Ansatsuken practitioners, because Goutetsu, Ryu and Akuma are…
Tbh i was expecting a following of serious, but in peace with himself, Sagat of SF4
I even liked him being paired with a good character, a guide (like for Ryu in ASF) as Dhalsim in SFxTK
I thought hermit training in the mountains (with the Tiger as sparring partner?) will have increased the evolution in that direction
They seem to have mostly picked asshole Sagat from SF2, with only difference to be bitter on Bison
Sagat personality in SFV is boring af, but i like his fight style and design
Also i NEEDED Muay Thai to complete the collection of major arts, cast got an hole without it imho

For real, G sounds like a total nutcase.
I love him.

One thing i thought is that Ryu may have “infected” Sagat, passing him his curse… think like the legend of the werewolf bite, but on ki level
Maybe Ryu left part of SnH ki inside Sagat’s chest in that scar
Maybe is’nt so symbolic that Sagat can boost his destructive power focusing on negative energy from tht scar “Angry Scar”, maybe it’s exactly how it works
Is possible that wound never truly heal on ki level as it was caused by a strike full of negative ki and it’s still impregnated of negative ki

If Ryu can infect Sagat with the SnH, does that mean that if he punched Rufus very very hard he too could turn into the deadly Shin Rufus? And then the only way to stop Shin Rufus would be to use Shadaloo’s technology to create the ultimate augmented warrior, Violent El Fuerte?

This is double interessing
1- Sim does’nt sense evil, because G’s faith may be so absolute and pure, that he does’nt need to be evil… He’s a pure fanatic 100% sure that whatever he have in mind, is for the good of all people
Example Gill KNOW that his ultimate goal is selfish.
He feel to be the one worth of become humans God, but he KNOW to have an egoistical end (be that God)
G may truly believe that whatever he have in mind is not selfish and in everyone’s best interest
2- Sim see him as an Agni-bro (Agni = god of fire), as in his Agni worshipper view theyr powers (fire and magma) came from the same God.
WIth “to fight is to obey the great Agni will” he seem to imply to believe that G is somehow worth of Agni’s trust, or he will not have fire-powers (as it must be Agni’s will)

SnH isn’t some infection, it’s a natural progression of any fighting style. It’s more prevalent in the killing arts obviously which why Necalli seems so inherently tied to it, being his whole ancient warrior civilization probably relied on something similar. Nash has stated himself to Ryu that he feels something similar in his story, which is why he sought him out to fight him. Also, Oro can pull off something like it a side story where he meets Dhalsim and states all ki energy regardless of name is pretty much the same.
Sagat right now is living a hermit life like Oro, it would only make sense for him to learn about SnH on a spiritual journey like that.

I like your explanation, just my 2 cents
As you said the degeneration into negative ki can affect all fighters, from all styles in various forms (just as Psycho Power is the negative side of Soul Power)
I think SnH itself (red ki aura on Akuma/E.Ryu) is limited to ansatsuken users as the negative deformation of the ki they use for theyr techniques (hado, srk etc)
I used the word “infection” but maybe “ki poisoning” explain better what i mean
Watch Ryu, what does on himself in ASF look just like purification of his own ki, like heal from an (ki) disease
And more than that, when Ryu just after fought pure negative ki creatures like Necalli and Bison he straight “poison” them with his ki
In this specific case Sagat reaction weird af, does’nt seem to feel like it’s his own ki degenerating, he seem to suffer it as an intoxication and seem to link it directly to Ryu’s SnH
VS Sagat he could have done the same of Bison/Necalli, but Sagat was a normal ki fighter and he striked him with an hand full of SnH
It could be the same of something we already seen, but with opposite energies involved
sigh G sucks so bad.
Dumb design. No discernable martial art. Story tells absolutely NOTHING about the character. Just keeps saying the same two things over and over and over again…

Thanks! Who’s the one after FANG?
It’s G to himself.
So no Gill reference from Kolin
I finally got to play the story modes, I couldn’t download the update until recently.
So, G:
I love G’s characterization and personality, and it’s a pity then that G’s story suffers from a problem that other DLC characters have suffered so far, except worse in this case: Capcom really doesn’t do anything with their stories in their story modes.
After playing G’s story I know as much about him than I would know if I just messed with him in training mode to check out what he’s saying while doing his moves and his speeches. G felt like a random NPC that the main characters Rashid and Menat meet on their way in his own personal story mode.
His obvious connection with Q is not addressed, his weird political/philosophical ideas about “the Earth” remain a total mystery, he doesn’t seem tied to Shadaloo nor Neo-Shadaloo nor the Illuminati; what was the point of it?
I like G and I want to see more of him, but his story mode didn’t add anything outside of this “social media” thing they’re pushing with his story. His background remain a mystery right now.
And Sagat:
Sagat’s characterization in his win quotes feel like a step back, by now I expect Sagat to be more mature and wise, and less blatantly cocky.
His story was nice, but this one too ends up not really doing much. I’m not even sure if Sagat is truly having a problem with the Satsui no Hado or it was just a momentary “thing” that was supposed to make him understand Ryu’s own struggle, advancing the relationship between the two.
Would have been much easier if his story was simply about him and Ryu randomly finding each others in the mountains and having a friendly rematch. I liked the imagery in his story though, I found it very evocative.

Seriously, this “dark/evil/edgelord” alter ego is getting played out.
