i like that sagat has a soul he thinks about things he is not just a one dimensional bad guy,he is looking for spiritual answers.

I always find Sagat interesting, as he was the final boss before M.Bison in the original game and his scar is very important in the canon story.

My favorite boss of the Street Fighter series. Not only Sagat was intimidating but he was so much fun to play as. Thanks, Top Hat.

I started maining sagat when the alpha series was new. He’s one of my go to still.

Sagat is such an impressive character. I had no idea of his actual backstory. Even as a villain he was never as he seems... 🙂 I have a new respect for him.

I was always under the impression that Sagat was based on the character Tong Po in the movie "Kickboxer".

@enterthebruce91

Kickboxer was released in 1989, I believe; two years after Sagat featured in the original Street Fighter game in 1987-But I can see why you would think that as I did as well till I found out about the SF and Kickboxer release dates.

This is the story I have been waiting for. His backstory from the gaming manual was so great

Whether you are a street fighter fan or not, you have to admit that street fighter movie is a bizzare masterpiece.

Sagat is a true Street Fighter OG. He was the first known SF champion and a major part of Ryu's story arch. He has also remained one of the most powerful characters in SF. A skilled Sagat player is a tough matchup for just about anyone. One wish I do have is for an official canon feature or mini series of the origins of Shadaloo and the four Grand Masters. It would have to go back before SF1 to flesh out their backgrounds before they became Street Fighter legends.

Awesome stuff! Sagat has always been my favourite SFII character, at first because of his imposing size and dominance in those games, but learning more of his backstory, and the layers you mention, made him EPIC. This was a man driven mad by revenge, but seeing his own hate reflected in Dan made him realize how dark that path was, and he chose to let it go.

In my city I had the highest score @ our arcade on SNK vs Capcom 2 w/ Sagat. I unlocked the secret characters and stayed undefeated for a long time... One summer I went on vacation to visit family, @ the local arcade I was on a roll w/ Sagat, a 10 yr old Asian boy faced me 1 on 1.... he Double-Perfected me 😑my cousin who witnessed it replied “it’s ok man, makes sense he beat you, THEY make the game”. I never played the game again.

Awesome coverage of this legendary character. A vast legacy, but also lots of rivalries, and connections. Curious where his journey will take him next. Sagat and King (KoF) seriously.. seeing those two meet in a crossover was one of the most epic moments ever

Thank you for this.

Love the video, I always thought I knew a lot about Sagat's lore but I was especially surprised to see the manga inspiration for Sagat's original design. I mained Sagat for SFIV and SFV and I just wanted to clear up a super small detail mistake. 3:30 most iterations of Sagat are actually really defensively oriented, using his long range muay thai kicks to control space and his infamous Tiger Shots to completely dominate fireball wars because in most street fighters his fireballs are pound for pound the most effective single hit fireballs in the roster. He struggles to really put proactive pressure or as you put it "prioritize being on the offence" because of his slow movement speed and the difficulty and risk involved with spacing tiger knee correctly so that its safe when an opponent blocks it. Above everything else Sagat is an Iron Wall character who you have need to break down slowly and carefully much like kicking a banana tree.

Great vid lad

I love your lore videos, great work as always.

Loved this one as well, this is top tier content, after you are done with SF characters you should do SNK fighters, there's like a shit ton of them too.

Sagat is my second favourite fighter from SF 2, I often play as him

TIGER !! - Sagat says this constantly in the classic Street Fighter II game - so much so that over 25 years Later it will still pop into my head at random times, every few days - if I see a picture or a nature documentary on Tigers, there it goes, instantly in my head - TIGER !!

I think you missed the fact that Sagat's original SF2 ending has been retconned ever since the Alpha series came out. In the original, Sagat wanted a fight to the death with Ryu but after the retcon, he no longer wanted a fight to the death and just wanted a fair fight. Also in SF5 which I haven't played, he seems to have two different endings. One was a happier one where he overcame that Satsui no Hadou-like feeling and lived happily ever after with his young disciple and his pet tiger. The sad ending is about his village which was burned to the ground by poachers which Sagat responded by beating them up and him crying with blood tears.

SF1 is terrible... But to be fair it's more of a prototype. They had the right idea but nothing to guide them on what to do with the idea of a 1v1 game. It honestly took a few releases of SF2 to start molding the game into something modern. The entire roster wasn't playable, combos were just a glitch, ridiculously small roster etc, no metered moves... All that didn't get ironed out until Super Turbo

Sagat is my favorite . What I want to happen to Sagat is that while he is fighting Necali, or durring meditation Necali steals his soul. Sagats soul is gone but the body and satsui no Hado remain, a thinner faster more sinewy death tiger machine is left. Dark energy flame erupt from his chest as well as his damaged eye. Maybe Sagat makes a deal with the devil(nacali) and loses his soul in order to become a fierce force. The dark energy has his anger/energy/and moveset. I dunno I want to see a thinner more evil Sagat.

isn't it interesting how a lot of the time when a mauy thai master is depicted in fiction they are shown as giants, when in reality thai are a relatively small people. maybe it's because of how imposing the art at it's core is and how much respect the martial arts world holds for it. sagat from street fighter or fahkumram from tekken and their stature is just the manifestation of that respect.
