Hits crouchers, and your only way to start a chain off lights. Again your sagat though, so your not left with much. You can chain to stand mp, but that misses 90% of the games crouchers. So your usually stuck with a duck mp, or duck hp combo wise.

Deceptively horrible range/priority. You can chain after it. But thats if you can get it to hit in the first place.

Good for combos. Gives you enough advantage to link 2 of them, and chains from a stand lp. Your main cancel able normal.

Does half stun by itself. Deceptively horrible priority. It can be a struggle to get this move to trade, which is what your forced to do if your not punishing something and you want it to hit. As the only standing characters it hits in the game are sagat, birdie, sodom, rose, and charlie.

Nj.Mp.png

has slightly higher priority then back or forward jump versions. But again even though it looks like a air to air move, in general its very hard to win with.

st.Hp.png

Does 0 stun. It can still be used to trade with fireballs in your favor.

18-21 8 5 - +4 - Low.png -

Gives a fair advantage. Enough to link a duck mp off of. Unfortunately in general you aren,t at ranges to use it as such unless the opponent is sucked into you from a cross up, and your usually stuck with a duck lk. Which in the orginal alpha game does not consistently combo to tiger knee/does not combo to super from all ranges in the orginal game/and sagat,s fireball is not fast enough to combo off lights. Whatever the case a decent move for what its worth.

dj.Hp.png

A air to air of sorts. Unfortunately most characters wont be jumping high enough to get hit by it in the first place.

10 3 5 - -5(max range) -9(very close) - Mid.png Specialcancel.png

One of the most realistic unblockables in the game behind rose friends,When done from max range it can not be blocked. Only the first hitbox can be canceld but its usually not worth it unless you do the move up close by mistake to try to make it less - on hit.

10-16,9-12 0,8 4 - -2 - Mid.png -

Hits twice, but only the second hit does any stun. A pretty good move comparatively to the rest of sagat,s pretty lack luster move set.

15-19 8 5 - -6(block) - Low.png -

Word of note sagat,s hit box grows to enormous proportions when doing this move allowing you to be hit by a lot of stuff that doesn't look like it should hit. Be warned when trying to punish moves with a sweep only for you to get hit after the opponent hits thin air.

Very high priority. Loses to some traditional anti airs, but in general another move that doesn,t lose cleanly very often unless the opponent is invincible.

Only uses the first hitbox and hits one time.

Uses the second hitbox then the rest are the Third hitbox

Dp.png + Hp.png 20-29,8,1X5 5,1x6 2 - -28 - Mid.png Startupinv.png
Upperbodyinv.pngLowerbodyinv.png

Works the same as above just with more hits of the third hitbox,hits dont jail on block so they can duck to add a few extra frames to punish.

Tiger Knee

All 3 versions use the same hitboxes,If you only land one of the first 2 hitboxes Then you Do not knock the enemy down therefore are punishable on hit...

Version Damage Stun Startup Active Frame Adv Meter Block Properties
Dp.png + Lk.png 15,1-4 4,4 3 - -2 to -9(non knockdown hit), - Mid.png -

this move is not very good and at most ranges characters can crouch under the second hit cuasing the unsafe on hit knee And up close some characters can crouch the second hit on block making it just as unsafe. One more Insult to injury is that when you try to combo into the move its quite easy to get the single hit knee and become punishable so in general its very hard to make work in any way since even when trying to poke with it on the ground you could end up with a single hit knee.
