Groove selection takes a number of factors into account in the process of capturing the feel of classic Capcom and SNK fighting games. C-Groove is a groove based on Street Fighter Alpha. The super gauge is divided into three sections, which fill mainly as the player attacks and slightly upon taking damage. As each of these sections fill, one after the other, Super Combos of varying strengths become available. Also, the amount of damage a player does to the opponent increases slightly as the gauge fills. L1 normal and special Moves do 101% the damage that L0 moves do. L2 normal and special Moves do 102% the damage that L0 moves do. L1 SCs performed with two levels of gauge do 101% the damage that L1 SCs do. L3 normal and special Moves do 105% the damage that L0 moves do. L1 SCs performed with a full gauge do 102% the damage that L1 SCs do. Unique feature: Air Blocking Other features: Dash, Roll, Counter Attack, Tactical Recovery A-Groove is based loosely on Street Fighter Alpha 3's V-Ism. The super gauge has two sections, which fill like C-Groove. When the first section is full, the player can do L1 SCs. When the gauge is completely full, Custom Combos (CCs) can be activated by pressing Fi and R simultaneously. CC mode causes the character to cause less damage in exchange for being able to do moves more quickly, effortlessly, and spontaneously than normal. It is possible to cancel the CC into an SC at any point. Blocking is not possible during a CC; any attack that hits the player will end the CC. Non-CC normal and special moves do the same amount of damage that L0 C-Groove moves do. Non-CC SCs do the same amount of damage that L1 C-Groove SCs performed with one level of gauge do. CC normal moves and SCs do 72% the damage that non-CC normal moves and SCs do. CC special moves do 80% the damage that non-CC special moves do. Unique feature: Custom Combo Other features: Dash, Roll, Counter Attack, Safe Fall P-Groove plays a lot like Street Fighter III. The super gauge (which fills in the same way as C-Groove) is not divided into sections; to do an SC a full gauge is necessary. Normal and special moves do the same amount of damage that L0 C-Groove moves do. SCs do the same amount of damage that L3 C-Groove SCs do. Unique feature: Parrying Other features: Dash, Small Jump, Tactical Recovery S-Groove is the classic King of Fighters system. The super gauge is not divided into sections, but different levels of SCs are available. The gauge does not fill automatically when the player attacks; there is a manual charge (activated by pressing Fi and R simultaneously) which fills the gauge. L1 SCs are available when the gauge is full. When the player's health is reduced below a certain amount, the health gauge begins flashing red. At this point, the player can use unlimited L1 SCs, or fill the gauge to perform one MAX level (L3) SC. (Empty)When the super gauge is not full and the health gauge is not flashing, normal and special moves do the same amount of damage that L0 C-Groove moves do. (Desperation)When the super gauge is not full and the health gauge is flashing, normal and special moves do 105% the damage that Empty moves do. Desperation SCs do 105% the damage that L1 C-Groove SCs performed with one level of gauge do. (Charged)When the super gauge is full but the health gauge is not flashing, normal and special moves do 115% the damage that Empty moves do. Charged SCs do 115% the damage that L1 C-Groove SCs performed with one level of gauge do. (Charged Desperation)When the super gauge is full and the health gauge is flashing, normal and special moves do 105% the damage that Charged S-Groove moves do. Charged Desperation SCs do 105% the damage that L3 C-Groove SCs do. Unique features: Dodge, Manual Super Gauge Charge, Desperation Mode Other features: Run, Counter Attack, Small Jump, Tactical Recovery N-Groove resembles the Advanced system of more recent King of Fighters games. Like S-Groove, the super gauge is not divided into sections. It fills, like C- Groove's gauge, as the player attacks. When it is full, it will begin to fill again, with the previous full gauge becoming a stock (a small dot), up to three of which can be stored. This stock can be used to perform an SC, or it can be broken (press Fi and R simultaneously) to power up the player's attacks (the character will flash yellow). If the player has two or more stocks, it is possible to do a MAX level (L3) SC by first breaking a stock, then doing the SC as normal. Non-powered up normal and special moves do the same amount of damage that L0 C- Groove moves do. Non-powered up SCs do the same amount of damage that L1 C-Groove SCs performed with one level of gauge do. Powered-up normal and special moves do 120% the damage that non-powered up moves do. Powered-up SCs do the same amount of damage that L3 C-Groove SCs do. Unique features: Counter Movement, Stock Breaking Other features: Run, Roll, Counter Attack, Small Jump, Safe Fall K-Groove is similar to Samurai Shodown gameplay. The super gauge is like P- Groove's gauge, undivided and with no stocks, but it fills only from being attacked, not by attacking or manually charging. When the gauge is full, the character will flash red and enter Rage mode. In Rage mode, the character's moves become substantially more powerful. Rage mode continues until the gauge runs out or the player does an SC. Non-Rage normal and special moves do the same amount of damage that L0 C-Groove moves do. Rage normal moves do 135% the damage that non-Rage moves do. Rage special moves do 130% the damage that non-Rage moves do. SCs do 110% the damage that L3 C-Groove SCs do.

At the end of the game, he was challenged and defeated by Ryu. When he returned in the Street Fighter II (SF2) series, first in SF2: The World Warrior (WW), he bore the mark of his defeat by Ryu's Shoryuken in the form of a large scar across his chest. He stood, armed with the Tiger Uppercut he had developed as a counterpart to Ryu's Shoryuken, as the last boss before M.Bison, the master of the criminal empire Shadaloo, which Sagat had joined (presumably after SF1). Sagat became a playable character for the first time in SF2: Champion Edition (CE). His ending focused on his desire to challenge Ryu once again. He endings for every Street Fighter game after that were very similar. The Street Fighter Alpha (Alpha) series, which was developed and released after SF2, actually comes before SF2 in storyline. Also, much of the A1 storyline is repeated (or retold) in A2, so I will refer to both these games as Alpha, designating which game(s) which stories come from parenthetically. Alpha 2 Gold has the exact same endings as A2, so it is not mentioned. Sagat was challenged by Adon, who in the Alpha storyline had been Sagat's former student. Sagat recognized Adon's skill as a fellow Muay Thai fighter, and humored him by throwing the fight so that Adon would not be discouraged from using Muay Thai (A1 and A2). Dan came to get revenge for his father Go Hibiki, whom Sagat had killed before SF1. Go was a powerful Muay Thai fighter against whom Sagat defended his "World's Strongest" title as a teenager. At this time, Sagat still had both eyes, but one was weak because of an accident he had suffered a short time previously. His bad eye was obviously disfigured, and he had begun studying Muay Thai after all his friends mocked it and abandoned him. During their battle, Go aimed at Sagat's bad eye and succeeded in destroying it completely. Sagat became mad with rage and killed Go. As he did with Adon, Sagat let Dan claim victory because he thought it was the least he could do to atone for having unwittingly left the young Dan without a father (A1 and A2). In Street Fighter Alpha 3, Sagat once again burned for revenge against Ryu, but showed his honor in refusing to accept anything but a fair fight against his old rival. M.Bison tried to amuse Sagat by letting him fight a brainwashed Ryu, but Sagat would not be content with defeating Ryu unless he fought with his true power and personality. Bison's manipulation of Ryu so angered Sagat that he was prepared to challenge Bison himself, thus proving his rivalry with Ryu to be stronger than the bonds by which he was held to Shadaloo. Sagat left Ryu as a friend, hoping that they would someday meet again and fight honorably to determine the stronger between them. ----------GAME APPEARANCES---------- Sagat has appeared in the following fighting games: Street Fighter II: The World Warrior Street Fighter II': Champion Edition Street Fighter II': Turbo Hyper Fighting Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers Super Street Fighter II: The Tournament Battle Super Street Fighter II Turbo: Grand Master Challenge Street Fighter The Movie Street Fighter Alpha Street Fighter Alpha 2 Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold Street Fighter Alpha 3 Street Fighter EX2 Plus Street Fighter EX 3 Capcom vs. SNK Capcom vs. SNK Pro Capcom vs. SNK 2 Sagat has made cameo appearances in these games: X-Men vs. Street Fighter Pocket Fighter ----------TACTICS---------- All damage amounts were found using a Ratio 2 C-Groove Sagat at L0 against a Ratio 2 C-Groove Sagat on normal (2 stars) Damage Level and a Normal Groove Gauge setting.

Man, beast, or god... My punch smashes all into nothingness! Hatred spares no one! Your flesh is soft. My fists are invincible. Realize your agony. How does it feel to have your body torn by my fist? Defeat has brought me anger... Anger which leads to victory! From CvS1: My power is without question! You should not have challenged me! I despise your useless pride! A warrior does not take a step back! A warrior takes on all challenges! You are too weak! You can't even scratch my body! Challenge me anytime! I'll always be here! Practice all you want! You will never be good enough to defeat me! A true warrior can win under any circumstances! ----------VERSION HISTORY---------- v. 0.2 (30 October 2001) - Added standard CvS2 gameplay features section and new colors and quotes; revised tactics section's damage information v. 0.1 (23 October 2001) - First version which contained everything not mentioned above ----------LINKS---------- GameFAQs www.gamefaqs.com The best resource for gaming information I've seen anywhere (but if you're reading this you should already know that) Shingotink's Capcom vs. SNK 2 Color Edit Archive http://geocities.com/shingotink/ OR http://shingotink.tripod.com/ A fantastic resource for color edits ----------CREDITS---------- I, ProTect, wrote this. Move names came from CvS2 command lists and from the Street Fighter Zero 3 Offical Guide Book: Challenger's Edition. Sagat's official history came from the Street Fighter games as mentioned. Sagat's statistics came from the Street Fighter Alpha 3, the All About Capcom Head-to-Head Fighting Games Guide, and Street Fighter Collection 2. All other material came directly from the author's trial-and-error experimentation with CvS2. Capcom made the game and all other games mentioned. Sagat and Street Fighter belong to Capcom.
