Sagat looks TERRIFYING in Street Fighter 6 – Gaming Nexus

It’s no secret that as soon as I got my hands on Street Fighter 6, I was happy to shoryuken Street Fighter 5 to the promised land. This means I didn’t even get to play with Sagat, because while he was in the game way before then, I had my fill with the game, and decided I would play it on special call outs. This has all changed with Street Fighter 6, and though I still haven’t played anything with Elena, Sagat is the game character to remind me I’ve been away for too long. 

Since the last time I’ve played, we’ve had Elena, a Switch 2 release, and an entire Season 3 patch. Now we wait for Sagat to be added, as the first Season 3 character. Capcom released his gameplay trailer today, and I’m very scared of the Emperor Sagat. He’s learned a thing or two up in the mountains. 

I saw Sagat with more reach than I’ve ever seen him have. He looks HUGE. He has a slew of new tech, that look familiar if you’re a Ryu or Ken user. He has knees and kicks similar to Ken’s Jinrai kicks. He has a medium jumping punch that hits twice. His level 1 super, Tiger Shot goes right through a Shinkuu Hadouken. His Tiger Uppercut seems to hit anything that moves. He has what seems to be a charging tiger uppercut that comes with an additional hit, that then results in a wall splat. He even has a Level 2 super that he can modify up to 4 different ways, depending on how you want your opponent to land.

I spent a lot of time oohing and ahhing during this trailer, and it’s time you take part in it, if you haven’t already. And remember, the fighters pass is all about Street Fighter 1 as you get ready for Sagat, with an EX color for Ryu and Ken, along with new challenger screens, an outfit for your avatar, and even the sound effects from the very first game. Check it out.
