CE, NewChal, ST, CvS2 LOW FIERCE, IV
He’s decent in the Alpha games, and that’s about it. Has Sagat ever been bad?
He was pretty solid in V-ism in Alpha 3, too.
I’m willing to bet he’d have been fairly good in CvS1 had he not been a Ratio 3.
He was pretty mediocre in SvC Chaos (aside from the super into exceed), not like anyone would bother playing that game.
He’s the MUAY THAI EMPEROR…it’d be blasphemy to make him any less than godlike. :bgrin:
Because he’s the King of Freaking Muay-Thai.
In before lock.
Word. Sagat is such an underused character,too.
Especially in SF4. No-one plays him in that game.
As much as some people like to call it generic or boring, the fireball/uppercut combination has always been a solid design gameplay-wise. And Sagat is usually strong in those departments.
Well they do call him the king for a reason.
-Reversal uppercut
-Fast high and low fireballs
-Long limbs
-High stamina
-High damage
These are ingredients that Sagat must have in almost every game because they are part of his character design.
These ingredients just happen to be very useful in fighting games.
There’s your answer.
the reason is that he works for burger king
think about it
why does he always say “burger shot” and “burger uppercut” and “burger destruction” and when he does ex tiger uppercut “eat this!”
they sponsor him
I approve. :tup:
Aha! I knew there was a reason. I just always thought he was saying Tiger.
Yeah but he wears an eye patch, that should totally give him a weakness.
TOTALLY
I totally busted out laughing in the office. I’m going to forever hear “burger shot” whenever I play a Sagat from now on.
On topic, wasn’t Sagat originally a boss character? That would be my guess as to why he’s so strong.
there has to be some type of bias in the develop of sf games. for what reason, i dont know. i guess however they feel that day, but sagat is like, consistently good. like, they really dont need to make him as good as he is in some games, especially in sf4. its disgusting watching someone work for damage, and then sagat hits them 4 times to their 12, and he has already almost caught up with their damage output, but i guess thats just games.
Sagat is pretty underused on ST, and in tournaments, only few players use him… CvsS2 he is decent, Alpha Games too, SvsC Chaos every capcom fighter sucks.
The only one that is strong is the CE Sagat and the SF4 Sagat, CE Sagat isn’t that over used, just because pros like Valle and choi use him doesn’t mean everyone does, ryu would be overused more than sagat.
About Sagat on SF4, well, people are just too paranoic, sagat is beatable, he’s not god you know… Rufus eat sagats for dinner.
So, this new Gen of players who played sf4 for 1st time, and then saw Hyper Fighting tourney matches, will probably think that sagat is broken… but he is not.
Because he was designed that way.
:lol: Decent? Really?
He is alright in Alpha. Alpha 2 is probably his strongest version in the alpha series.
Chun-Li, Tessa, Demitri and Zero would like to have a word with you.
Rlly godlike would be, Blanka, Bison, Vega, Sakura.
You need a lot of guts and skill to make it out with a C.Sagat.
Nah, i play a lot of A2 on ggpo, and he isn’t that strong, Rose, Chunli and Ken are top tier there, sagat is like mid.
I didn’t know that… but sagat is for sure bad there.
Maybe someone on Capcom likes maining him.
I mean didn’t Honda get buffed for HDremix and then Sirlin (who helped with the balencing) started maining him?
Screw play to win, balence to win is where it’s at.
