-
- Aerial roundhouse, crouching short, tiger knee (4 hits)
- - this is my standard Sagat combo.
-
- Crouching jab, standing jab, jab tiger uppercut
- - You may see people do this one on accident.
-
- Aerial roundhouse, crouching short, standing short, tiger knee (4 hits)
- - Tiger knee only hits once since the shorts push you far away. This
- is a difficult combo to perform because of the weird joystick motions.
- I've only done it once, and it wasn't in the corner, so I don't know
- if it can hit 5 times.

- Part of the problem is that instead of a standing short, you'll sometimes
- do a low firebird instead. Another part of the problem is that you have
- to buffer the short tiger knee after the standing short. As you can see
- this is difficult because of the weird joystick motions involved. But
- it is possible. The joystick motion is very similar to that of a fierce/
- fierce dragon punch combo, and that's why I like to do it. Besides, it
- confuses your opponent when they say, "What the hell was THAT?"
-
- Others:
- aerial roundhouse, crouching short, any speed firebird
- - this is standard in pushing away opponents when they block.
- If they don't block, perform the tiger knee instead.
-
- aerial roundhouse, tiger knee (2 hits)
- - this is specifically for jumping in on Ken/Ryu fireball stun stance.
- If you hit them inside of your toe, you can get the tiger knee off.
- It knocks the opponent off his feet, so it's better than a simple
- fierce.
-
- Other dirty Sagat tricks:
- Double tiger knee: Tiger knee up to Ken/Ryu, just out of their roundhouse
- sweep range. They'll try to roundhouse you on reflex. Perform another
- tiger knee immediately, and then throw or jab tiger uppercut their
- helpless slipping body.
-
- A tiger knee blocked high: Your opponent will try to throw or kick you
- somehow. You can perform a jab tiger uppercut before they can get their
- move off. If it works, you bounce off away from harm or they get hit.
- A tiger knee blocked high is a bonus for you.
-
- Tiger knee Blanka's ball: Annoyed with Blanka? Tiger knee his ball
- if he does it from far away. Easy to perform.
-
- Fierce punch or strong punch: want to annoy Ken/Ryu? Fierce punch or
- strong punch over their fireballs and smack 'em in the face. Want to
- annoy them more? Kick them with the standing forward. Lots of times
- you can get them before they start a fireball. Other times, you can
- hit them after they miss a jab DP with a tiger knee. Keep it unpredict-
- able, or your arms are DP bait!
