How to Use

Notes on how Sagat uses Tiger Knee Crush — combo routes, pressure, whiff punishes — to be added.

How to Counter

A rushing attack that leaves Sagat plus on crouching block. Block frames get less unfavorable for Sagat from farther distances; if the spacing is wide, mix in Drive Impact or vertical jumps.

Recommended counters

Just parry

The startup is fast, but it often connects on its later active frames, giving you extra reaction time. 236MK in particular has a slow 18F startup and takes a while to arrive — a good window to hunt the just-parry. Watch for 2LK while fishing, and at 236LK-whiff range consider a fuzzy strike instead of the parry.

Stand-block once you've blocked a normal

After blocking any normal except 2LP, switch to standing block. Sagat has no 2MK drive-rush, so there's no low combo route from a single blocked normal other than 2LP. Reacting to 236K every time is exhausting, so default to "one-block then back away," and parry only when you actually see it.

Stand-blocked (not buried in)

If the screen shakes, Sagat is plus. If it doesn't, you're at 0 or better — mash a 4F poke or throw.

Stand-blocked (buried in)

If it lands deep on stand-block, you have a 5F-or-faster guaranteed punish.

On hit (quick-rise)

Quick-rising after 236LK denies Sagat the walk-up shimmy off drive rush.

Frame check on cancel-into-236K

On crouch block, the cancel routes leave Sagat at: 236LK +2 / 236MK +2 / 236HK +4 / 236KK +1 — every variant is Sagat-plus.

Watch out

Once you show just-parry attempts, Sagat may feint with 236LK — in that case, press a normal at the timing you would block the 236K:
