Tiger Construction: Sagat Match-up Thread

What about palm. shit blows up zoning. i know its hella unsafe but the rnage is really good.

he cant palm on light /medium versions of your shots from beyond mid-close range by reaction. That’s guessing. So just keep your shots tight and he will inventually try to palm you, block and tu / c.lp xx

gouken can be tough i feel like life lead is essential in that matchup if you fall behind i think it can be tough if the gouken is really good at zoning

I think I figured out my problem. Started boding him. Appreciate the help

sagat vs juri?

hmm

vs american/EU juri?

5.5-4.5 for sagat

vs JPN juri

6-4 for juri

The best strategy for Juri:

Spoiler

pick your sub

Only stuff I ever get working against Juri is buffered cr.LK and focus fishing.

This sub-forum and this thread is a joke. One of you Sag players need to update this shit. The OP doesn’t even have info for SSFIV players (e.g. Guy). The Akuma forums shit all over these ones.

also, every sub character forum here is a joke

90% of the time you will ask a question about something on SRK and figure it out by yourself by the time it gets answered (if it ever gets answered)

writing up match up data is a pain in the ass anyway, keeping two folders worth of shit is incredibly tedious to say the least. can definitely understand why nobody wants to put all of the data into words…

any tips on the akuma and balrog matchups, ive been having a lot of trouble with those 2 with local players

gouki is just pretty hard. i usually switch to my sub if i know i’m going to play a gouki player.
boxer shouldn’t be giving you trouble though. what is he doing that’s problematic for you?

the boxer im playing is able to focus attack dash ultra on reaction to any fireball, so once he gets the meter i am forced to play footises

Your being to predictable when throwing your fireballs. If he is walking back or just crouching. Don’t throw any.

pretty much what mvskokee said. some things to keep in mind that will make boxer respect your options more:

do fireball motions without actually pressing the buttons to throw out an fb (faking fireballs.)
crouch and then do a standing jab (faking fireballs, and occasionally baiting anti-fb moves that you can counter on reaciton.)
use ex fb every now and then (while it burns meter, it will discourage FAs.)
use well spaced knees often (discourage FAs and other things. this take a little bit of lab work as boxer has an unusual hit box.)

Also qcb jab is a good baiting tool in the fb game. Especially if your opponent likes to listen to your buttons. Sounds like your throwing a fireball.

is there anything sagat can do against claw?

I find myself holding d/b pretty much the entire game. His normals are fantastic.

Blanka matchup help. Can anybody help? Fucking crossup MK to electricity to another BS random setup has me fucked up. This was offline play at a tournament.

What can beat Ryu jump forward HK? It trades with Sagat st. HK, beats f+HK, and even trades with hp TU (and gets knocked back too far for a follow up f+HK)

You have to dp very very late. Almost hitting your face

I can’t stand Sagat vs Dictator (Boxer is annoying as hell too). Something about taking brainless, safe chip damage over and over makes me impatient.

I mean just look at this from Shadowloo Showdown

This is how I feel against any decent Dictator in this matchup, What are you supposed to do, except just play the boringest street fighter imaginable?
