Sagat Combo Thread

I had noticed that the Sagat sub-forum, unlike many other characters, was missing a thread to compile and discuss combos. Starting this thread to do just that. Before the naysayers chime in, i'm aware some of this information is available in the QA thread or through online guides. However, since there's no thread devoted to combo discussion this should be a good place to not only quickly access combo related information, but also help curb the creation of various combo-specific threads.

BnB Combos
(the following is a list of Sagat's go to, "bread and butter", combos)

c.lk, c.lk, c.lp xx tiger uppercut
this is your go to close range combo. allows you plenty of time to hit confirm before executing the tiger uppercut. This combo leads to a number of options. If you have ex meter, fadc the tiger uppercut, fwd.hk, ultra*. If the opponent is near a corner, c.lk, c.lp, ex low TS, ultra. If the initial c.lk is blocked switch to c.lk, c.lp, c.lk, low ts which does decent chip damage, is safe on block, and helps puts some space between you and your opponent.

*tip: if your having problems canceling from c.lp into the tiger uppercut and are using a joystick with a square gate try holding downforward while doing the combo, then slide the stick along the bottom gate to down, then back to downforward and hit HP to execute the TU. This is a shortcut motion for TU

tiger uppercut, fadc, fwd.hk, ultra
this is a solid method for landing the ultra. the best part about it is that since so many of your moves are cancelable into TU, you have tons of opportunity to poke your way into an ultra.

c.mk xx low tiger shot
decent way to add some damage to your poke. use EX to knock your opponent back and score a knockdown. 160dmg 2hits

lk xx low tiger shot
better poke (has fewer startup and recovery frames than the cr.mk) but more strict timing on the cancel into low tiger shot. 110dmg 2hits

j.hk, c.mk xx TK/TS/TU
good jump in combo for when you decide to go on the offensive. use j.hk, c.mk xx TU, fadc, fwd.hk, ultra for a consistent way to land the ultra. also, j.hk, c.mk xx ex low TS can be used in the corner to combo into the ultra. 346dmg 3hits (TU)

fwd.hk, (optional 2nd fwd.hk), Ultra/Low TS/TK
Sagat's forward+roundhouse is a good anti-air move with great combo potential. 500dmg 11hits (1 fwd.hk, ultra), 594dmg 12hits (2 fwd.hk, ultra)


Additional Combos

FADC Tigershots
Hazeandfire has provided and extremely thorough writeup of the many uses for a FADC'ed tigershot. Check it out here.

lk, low tiger shot, fadc, c.mp, hp TU
constant pressure, not to mention very flashy. As always, the TU can be fadc'ed to fwd.hk, ultra. combo contributed by il0veb00ty

Any traded tiger uppercut, TK/TS/EX TS/ fwd hk, Ultra
punish your opponent for any traded tiger uppercut. combo contributed by il0veb00ty

Counter hit c.hp, hp tiger uppercut
Extremely deadly link, especially if you have enough meter to FADC into Ultra. The full combo ending in Ultra can do as much as 708 damage. combo and description contributed by Tofu Warrior

cl.mk, c.lp xx hp tiger uppercut
A strange link, very rarely used because there are few opportunities to land a cl. forward. I usually try this combo after a cross up j. short. combo and description contributed by Tofu Warrior

cl.lp, c.mp xx low tiger shot
Because cl. jab gives so much advantage on hit and block, this is an extremely easy link. Cl. jab has really bad start up, so I use this mostly in block strings for the great push back. combo and description contributed by Tofu Warrior

j.hp, c.hp, c.lp xx hp tiger uppercut
Only works on characters with wide hitboxes (Gief and Honda are the only presently confirmed this works on) but does huge damage. combo contributed by ToOoOomeke

lp, lp, hk
Quick, simple, damaging. combo contributed by il0veb00ty

cr.lk, cr.lk, cr.lk, hk
A variation of the above combo. combo contributed by SD8

j.mk, c.mk, LTS, FADC, mp, TU, FADC, f.hk, Ultra
'HazeandFire's flashy combo of doom'. Pull this off in a match and achieve instant legendary status. combo contributed by Quest2be1
Quest2be1 was cool enough to record a video of this ridiculous combo, "

j.hp, c.lk,c.lp, LTS, FADC, c.lk,c.mp, TU, FADC, f.hk, Ultra
Sometimes its better to look cool than to worry about damage scaling. combo contributed by Quest2be1

Please feel free to discuss additional combos, questions about combo execution, etc. I'll go through and continue to update this post with additional combos as they're added.
