Sagat - Nova Tiger BUFFS (12.16.2025 Patch)
🔹On Block! Reduce Pushback! Sagat is now at Point Blank Range!
🔹If you try to walk Backwards, Sagat can still throw you, or Catch you with Lows & Punish them.
✅Overall, Fantastic Q.O.L Buffs!

the small nuances @DerekBlaz11 implements really show off an elite level of resource awareness and management not just for someone his age - but for anybody playing a fighting game. new analysis video!
Public Service Annoucement for Sagat Enjoyers:
When you do crouch MP > drive rush, stop doing stand HK and go directly into b+HP > MK Tiger Nexus > Nova Tiger (HK Ender) for more damage and corner carry.
In this clip, I show that for the max damage ender with HK Knee > LP DP, you need to be at least at center of stage (or closer) to the corner or else the LP DP will drop.
The only time it's good to go for the old route with Stand HK > HK Nexus is for the double dash (or MK Knee) into throw if you dont have the corner. Otherwise, you're leaving a good amount of the damage on the table for no reason.
If you have the corner already, do delayed Mighty Tiger instead of Nova Tiger for the relaunch with back+HP.
Enjoy.

Sagat corner to corner punish vs Cammy OD Cannon Spike.
He can do this vs the whole cast from a punish counter Drive Impact or Raw Drive Rush 4HP (has to be a Punish Counter) > HK Nexus.

Thanks to @AutoMattock this has been optimized to just over 3K damage (3014).
Can you get more under these conditions?
- start with counter hit crouch LP > stand LK
- range where MP DP whiffs after CH 2LP > 5LK
- almost at 3 bars
- no corner
Can you get more?
