Complication s
Motivation (Revenge)
- Sagat is consumed with thoughts of revenge and pride, for he was defeated by Ryu several years ago. His chest permanentl
y scarred, Sagat craves a rematch, and will do anything to get it. This will be accomplished by beating the $#!& out of peopl
.Responsibility (Shadowloo)
- Sagat allied with Bison's organization so that they would help him find Ryu. Bison's orders are not to be questioned, and Sag
t must remain loya
.Weakness (Predictability)
- Sagat, like all Street Fighters, cannot simply "spam" out the same attack over and over again, as the opponent will expect th
e attacks, and be ready for them (and a counterattack)
. The third time he tries the same technique (or same combo of techniques)
in a short span, he wil
l be at -2 to Accuracy, AND to his Active Defenses in that round. All will decrease by 2 every successive round the same move is don

-Sagat is easily my favourite Street Fighter character ever- the man is EPIC. And he's probably one of the most highly-dynamic characters in the entire
franchise, with many different aspects to him. The boss in the very first SF game, Sagat was scarred by Ryu, and showed up in later games a bitter, twisted
man, tortured by his loss and craving revenge. Despite that, he also has a strong sense of Fighter's Honour, and he comes to recognize his own flaws
through his matches with others. When Sagat meets Dan Hibiki, he recognizes his own thirst for revenge in the man whose father was killed by Sagat, and
so Sagat willingly throws the fight to give Dan proper closure.

-Eventually, Sagat learns the full error of his ways, and he rejects revenge, helping Ryu break his brainwashing at Bison's hands. By Street Fighter IV, Sagat
is a much calmer, gentler man, coming back to his village in Thailand speaking of how he "had fun" at the most-recent tournament, and that he met "an
old friend", likely being Ryu himself. VERY few SF characters made such a dramatic character shift over the franchise, and the fact that it happened to the
once-most-frightening member of the entire roster speaks wonders. The SF franchise is full of flat characters and people defined by silly one-note things,
but SAGAT is a real character above it all. He's so awesome that he fulfills that old role of The Dragon (the offical number two guy to the Big Bad)
always
being invariably cooler- sometimes called the "Goro Effect".

-And man, was he TOUGH- Sagat is so great he's been "Soft-banned" from many a Fighting Tournament, and he's been top tier in many games. The
American SF bio states that "next to Bison, no other fighter comes close to his overall fighting ability", and I wanted my build to reflect that. He's so
powerful and dominant that he's a PL higher than even the mighty Ryu & Ken, requiring some extra effort or luck to be defeated. He's got an intimidating
presence, scary moves (he's just under Zangief & T. Hawk for power shots)
, great speed (his Tiger Shot equals Ken's Fireball, but ISN'T Distracting- he busts
those suckers out like NUTS)
and huge power and reach (both the Power Feat and the extra Accuracy that having longer limbs would give a real fighter- at
7'4
", Sagat would be untouchable in melee)
.

-To those who wish Sagat to be more akin to Ryu & Co., just downgrade his Accuracy (Unarmed & Ranged)
by 2 each- that'll bring him down to PL 10

standards.
