Character Overview
The Emperor of Muay Thai who controls the screen with unrivaled reach and anti-air consistency.
Sagat acts as a mobile wall. While he loses the pure fireball war to Guile, he dominates the mid-range with massive normals and creates a 'no-fly zone' with Tiger Uppercut. He frustrates opponents into jumping or crouching, then punishes their positioning.
Key Strengths
Key Weaknesses
- Mobility: Slow walk speed and heavy jump arc make escaping pressure difficult.
- Big Hurtbox: Easier to combo against; fuzzy guard setups work on him that fail on others.
- Projectile Recovery: His powerful projectiles have significant recovery, making them punishable if baited or poorly spaced.
Counter-Strategy
Parry Tiger Shots to close the distance and punish his recovery. Once you close the gap, stay in his face. His normals are too slow to contest point-blank scrambles. Enforce throw loops on his wakeup to crack his heavy reliance on blocking.
