[0:00] Hey guys, it's Rush. Hope you're doing
[0:01] well. Welcome back to the channel. In
[0:03] this video today, we're going to look at
[0:05] frame data for Saga to show you some of
[0:08] the key punishes you want to use against
[0:10] his normals and specials. So, starting
[0:12] with stand heavy punch, one of his
[0:14] normals. This has a lot of range, slow
[0:16] start up, but it's minus five on block.
[0:18] You do get a stand like punish here.
[0:25] Next attack is stand heavy kick. This is
[0:27] 10 frame start up. doesn't have as much
[0:29] range, but this move actually connects
[0:31] twice at close proximity. If the second
[0:33] portion of the kick lands when you're
[0:35] standing, it's minus 5. If you crouch
[0:37] block, you'll block the knee, which is
[0:39] minus 7, but the second part of the kick
[0:41] whiffs entirely. If you're further out
[0:43] at this sort of range, it'll completely
[0:46] whiff. The the kick itself at the end
[0:47] doesn't connect. That's like a free
[0:49] whiff punish.
[0:52] If you do block the stand heavy kick,
[0:53] you only get the stand like a punish at
[0:55] close range. There is a lot of push
[0:56] back.
[0:58] Just watch your spacing on the punish.
[1:00] If you do block this kick and the second
[1:02] portion of the kick whiffs because
[1:03] you're crouching, remember minus 7. You
[1:06] may want to go for a crouching, meaning
[1:08] punch punish counter. Sag stand light
[1:10] kick. This is special cancelable, so be
[1:12] careful. But on block raw, this is minus
[1:15] four. You'll only punish this with a
[1:16] long range fourframe close proximity.
[1:22] Sagat crouch heavy punch 11 frame start
[1:24] up has a lot of range this move does so
[1:27] on block this is minus five again you
[1:30] can see you got to be very close punish
[1:33] that I don't think you'll be punishing
[1:36] that they will be using that as a whiff
[1:38] punish tool they won't be throwing it
[1:39] out at close proximity the stag sweep is
[1:42] minus 12 on block even at max range 10
[1:45] can get a sweep with punish if you want
[1:47] to spend bar you can do odi to
[1:50] close range. You definitely want to do
[1:53] stand heavy punch into either medium or
[1:56] OD dragon lash
[1:58] and of course do level two super as well
[2:01] at range.
[2:04] >> Saga has a heap of command normals and
[2:06] target combos. This is high step kick.
[2:08] Now this is not punishable. This is
[2:10] actually plus four for Saga. This is a
[2:12] high step kick meaning you can crouch
[2:14] it. Means you will get a whiff punish
[2:17] opportunity. Tiger monolith. This is
[2:20] back heavy puncher stag out. If you
[2:22] block both hits, it's minus 10. If you
[2:24] crouch it or if only one hit connects,
[2:27] it's minus 13. In both instances, you
[2:30] can get a stand heavy punch punish
[2:32] counter. So the kick kick target combo,
[2:35] you can't crouch this, but this is minus
[2:37] eight on block.
[2:42] Saga also has two target combos from
[2:44] crouch medium punch. This is crouch
[2:46] medium punch into heavy punch. This is
[2:50] minus 14 on block
[2:59] crime punch into heavy kick. This is a
[3:02] launcher. This is minus 10 on block.
[3:06] So again very punishable for Saga. So
[3:09] light tiger knee at close proximity
[3:11] standing or crouching is minus eight.
[3:13] But further out, if they do it at range,
[3:15] you can see there it's zero. It's
[3:17] actually more advantageous for Saga if
[3:20] you're crouching. So, if I'm crouching,
[3:22] should back dash. Now,
[3:25] you can see that was quite close, but
[3:28] it's only minus two. So, it is a spacing
[3:30] dependent thing. If you see Sag's very
[3:32] high up in the air, you're going to get
[3:34] a big punish.
[3:38] >> Similar story for the medium. Medium is
[3:41] minus seven at close proximity. So again
[3:43] if he connects and he's high minus seven
[3:46] but further range especially if you're
[3:48] crouching it becomes safe.
[3:53] Heavy tiger is interesting. If you're
[3:54] crouching this then you're always going
[3:56] to be minus four. You do not want to
[3:59] crouch that. But if you're standing
[4:02] that second attack the second part of it
[4:04] second knee is minus five for Saga.
[4:08] you can get a punish counter,
[4:11] but range, even if you're standing, it
[4:13] can be made to be safe. You can see that
[4:15] was only minus two the first time.
[4:18] So, light tiger shot the close range is
[4:22] minus 7.
[4:27] Meme and heavy hit high. So, you can
[4:29] crouch and if you are close proximity
[4:31] when they do this, you can with punish
[4:35] with a button.
[4:39] However, medium, if you block it at
[4:41] close proximity, you are minus three. It
[4:45] is Sagat's turn at close proximity from
[4:47] the medium fireball. This has slightly
[4:49] slower startup than the heavy.
[4:53] The heavy is minus one block for Sagat.
[4:55] So, I'm plus one. You can see it comes
[4:57] out very, very fast. I'm not going to
[5:00] cover Tiger Nexus in this video because
[5:02] there is a separate video that covers
[5:03] all the frame data for that. So, please
[5:06] see this video link in the video
[5:07] description for more on Tiger Nexus. So,
[5:10] when it comes to Sagat supers, his level
[5:12] one super is very punishable is minus
[5:16] 31.
[5:18] You can get a drive rush crouch every
[5:21] punch. His level two is minus 58 on
[5:24] block. You get a big neutral jump punish
[5:26] here.
[5:32] >> Level three is minus 51. So again, you
[5:34] get a neutral jump option there to
[5:37] punish.
[5:40] >> Sagat's level one super is
[5:45] >> throw and strike invincible, but it is
[5:48] very slow startup.
[5:52] >> So you can bait it when it's done on a
[5:54] wake up situation. Can of course go for
[5:57] a meter fireball setup to punish.
[6:06] So, that's it for the video, guys. Just
[6:07] some super basic information, but stuff
[6:09] that will help you with the matchup when
[6:11] you face the army of Sagats in ranked.
[6:13] Any questions or any queries, always
[6:14] give me a shout, and I'll catch you in
[6:16] the next video. Take care.
