How to Counter
Everything from 2MP branches into a mix-up, and both sides carry risk and reward on every option — keep that in mind.
With so many cancel options it is hard to cover everything, but landing your punishes properly and attaching risk with Drive Impact is what matters.
Sagat's main options are as follows:
- Tiger Slash→cancel Drive Rush→2LP
- a pressure continuation Sagat can run at low risk
- it is a true blockstring, so you cannot mash an invincible reversal in between
- Tiger Slash → 214K
- 214LK crushes mashing and pairs with his other options, which makes it strong
- remember that if you confirm the target combo being finished, Drive Impact is guaranteed
- Tiger Slash → 236HK
- a gauge-chipping rip-off
- remember that if you confirm the target combo being finished, Drive Impact is guaranteed
- crouching leaves Sagat at advantage, so stand-block it
- Tiger Slash → cancel Drive Rush → 2LK
- the option that answers fuzzy stand-blocking
- there is a gap, so an invincible reversal is guaranteed
- Tiger Slash → OD Tiger Shot
- chips your gauge and keeps his pressure going at +6F on block
- you can mash a 4F button in the gap of the target combo
Recommended counters
The gap inside 2MP→HP is 7F. If he does not cancel after it is blocked, Sagat is -14F.
- Invincible reversals
- Except against cancel Drive Rush→2LP, the gaps mean your invincible reversal cannot be blocked
- With no follow-up it is -12F, so the reward is lower, but it is a safe way to turn the situation around
- If you trust your inputs, aim to escape with an SA instead
- he has the 236MP fireball cancel, so do it with a move that has projectile invincibility
