I'm looking forward to trying these two out later. I miss being able to mess with my jump trajectory, so G looks interesting.

G and Sagat Rampage in to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition on August 6!
AUG6

G, the Man of Mystery, and Sagat, the Solitary King, will be bursting their way in to Street Fighter V: Arcade Editionon August 6!

A man of mystery has appeared calling himself the “President of the World.” First revealed in the cinematic opening at Capcom Cup 2017, G is a mysterious new character who wishes to unify the world as its president. He decides to spread his message in ways the modern world can understand: through social media. Initially, he doesn’t receive much attention until Rashid comes across his videos and decides to help amplify G’s message to the people. That being said, there’s much more to G than meets the eye…

As a new character, G has a unique move set that utilizes his role as the “President of the World” and his mysterious origins. During a fight, his Presidentiality level can be seen next to the V-Gauge in the form of an icon representing the Earth. By using G Charge, G absorbs power from the Earth to increase his Presidentiality level to 3. The higher his Presidentiality level is, the more powerful his special moves are. However, if G is knocked down, the Presidentiality level will go down.

G’s special moves and their properties during level 3 Presidentialilty are as follows:

G Smash Over: A quick lunging punch that sends a citizen of Earth flying

• Level 3 Presidentiality: Two hits that causes a wall bounce

G Smash Under: Quick lunging punch that hits low and causes knockdown

• Level 3 Presidentiality: Two hits that also cause knockdown

G Burst: A downward molten projectile

• Level 3 Presidentiality: The projectile now splashes upon hitting the ground, which sends magma at an upwards angle

G Spin Kick: G twists his body in the air and kicks the opponent at a downward angle

• Level 3 Presidentiality: Now gains projectile invincibility

G Impact: A command grab that launches citizens of Earth and can be followed up by several special moves.

• Level 3 Presidentiality: A multi-hit command grab that also launches opponents

Message to the People: G delivers a speech meant to unite all citizens of Earth. During this speech, G gains EX Gauge, but is left vulnerable to attacks. Presidentiality has no effect on this glorious speech.

Using G Charge by itself leaves G vulnerable to attacks from citizens of Earth. However, G can cancel certain special moves into G Charge to safely increase his Presidentiality.

V-Skill – G Barrier

G emits a force field from the energy of Earth around him that can hit nearby citizens of Earth, which sends them launching in the air and can then be followed up by certain attacks. G Barrier can also absorb projectiles. In addition, G Barrier can be used in the air!

V-Trigger I – Maximum President

In this three-block V-Trigger, G’s skin becomes gold. During the duration of Maximum President, all of G’s special moves are strengthened to their level 3 Presidentiality. G can also cancel his special moves into each other. Finally, G can now launch G Barrier as a projectile, even in the air!

V-Trigger II – Dangerous President

In this two-block V-Trigger, G’s arms become molten with anger. By pressing HP+HK again, G will use G Explosion, a special move that can be canceled into from a special move that sends citizens of Earth flying into the heavens. G can also use G Rage, a command grab that contains one hit of armor and deals a decent amount of damage.

Critical Art – Pangaea Burst

G lets the citizens of Earth feel the full force of Gaia and unleashes a destructive set of magma pillars.

Take a look at G’s Story Costume, which may resemble another man of mystery.

Sometimes, Presidents need to go hunting, which is why G has chosen this outfit as his Battle Costume.

Sagat still has his kara uppercut so that's cool.

 

[SwamiLeoni]

The king has returned to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition! Bow down before him or prove you are a worthy opponent. First appearing in the original Street Fighter as the final boss, Sagat has become one of the most recognizable characters in the entire series. As the emperor of Muay Thai, Sagat’s main goal in life was to be the strongest fighter in the world, which he believed he was until a certain martial artist named Ryu came along and defeated him. M. Bison witnessed Sagat’s power and offered him the services of Shadaloo in order to search for Ryu. Sagat accepted and became one of the feared “Four Heavenly Kings,” but when he realized M. Bison was attempting to corrupt Ryu, Sagat left as he wanted Ryu’s mind to be clear for their rematch. Since then, he has made it his life goal to defeat Ryu, but only if his rival doesn’t hold back. In Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, Sagat has become a hermit in a secluded village and must overcome his inner demons.

Sagat’s iconic move set remains true to his past appearances in the Street Fighter series. Tiger Shot is a projectile that changes speeds depending on which punch button you press and cannot hit crouching opponents. Grand Tiger Shot (Low Tiger Shot in previous titles) can hit crouching opponents, but deals less damage and is less safe. Tiger Uppercut is a dragon punch-style attack that can be used as an anti-air or a reversal. Tiger Knee Crush (Tiger Knee in previous titles) is a quick lunge that can close the distance between Sagat and his opponent.

V-Skill – Angry Charge

Much like its previous iterations, Angry Charge sees Sagat clutching his scar to power up both the damage and stun for the next use of his Tiger Uppercut.

V-Trigger I – Tiger Charge

In this three-block V-Trigger, Sagat unlocks the ability to use Tiger Cannon by pressing HP+HK. Tiger Cannon is a large and quick projectile that deals decent damage. All of Sagat’s normal moves can be cancelled into it, which creates some devastating combos that take advantage of his long reach.

V-Trigger II – Tiger Assault

In this two-block V-Trigger, Sagat unlocked Tiger Spike by pressing HP+HK and Tiger Rush with Forward plus HP+HK. Tiger Spike is a long-reaching sharp kick that has armor on startup and can be cancelled into by most of Sagat’s normal moves. In addition, if HP+HK is held down, Tiger Spike breaks the opponents guard.

Tiger Rush is an altered version of Tiger Knee Crush that sees Sagat lunge forward with his knee. It can be cancelled into by most of Sagat’s normal moves and is useful for combos.

Critical Art – Tiger Rampage

Sagat shows exactly what it means to be the emperor of Muay Thai by delivering a series of kicks and punches followed by a charged up Tiger Uppercut.

Take a look at Sagat’s Story Costume, which reflects his time as a hermit deep in the mountains.

Sagat’s Battle Costume is inspired by traditional Thai clothing.

This nostalgic costume needs no explanation for the king!

New Stage – King’s Court

A reimagining of Sagat’s classic stage from Street Fighter II, this beautiful location featuring the iconic reclining statue will be available on August 6!

 

[SwamiLeoni]

Dude it was just so perfect though. I mean it couldn't have happened at a better time. I actually get pretty clean matches 90% of the time. I was about to be ultra bronze too.

I would not rule it out. I’ve played some matches where some real funky things were happening after first round perfects. There’s no reason to lag switch, its just salty players not wanting to learn from their losses.

 

[Crimson Fury]

Sagat is whatever, but G should make Q fans happy. I'm liking him.

 

[Swing]

Okay G might be a little above my pay grade. I can wrap my head around a character like Juri, but G charge/Hakan oil are a little much for my wee noggin to keep track of and work into offense.

 

[SwamiLeoni]

I think they both look great personally. Hilarious they gave Sagat a fireball cancel right off the bat lol. It took them 3 years to give Ryu one and it has to be EX. Fffing hell man.

G plays totally different than I expected. I figured he was going to be more grappler, but I was totally off. He looks complex and fun to play. Sagat is Sagat, but I still like his animations and his fireballs are the best looking in the game.

 

[SwamiLeoni]

Oh and I love how they used the Illuminati and Shadaloo to showcase G instead of always beating up on Ryu lol.

Lol Hakan wasn't that hard. I learned him in like 15 minutes and played him online with his Ultra II because it was hilarious.

Surprisingly, he's not a charge character. He's like Q, but his charge attacks are motions and he can juggle off of his command grab like Q could.

That totally caught me off guard as well. IMO, Sagat looks like the harder character to learn from watching the videos. Depending on how strict his cancels are (ala Denjin Ryu’s DPs) it could be a rough time. If you notice on his FB cancel, he has to tiger knee to get in to perform his uppercut. It should be interesting.

I never really played 4; the mechanics for buffing moves just reminded me of him. And I recalled that almost nobody used him competitively. Did Infiltration beat Snake Eyez with him? I feel like they showed a clip during Evo.

Fucking in. Can I just buy him with real money?

Fucking in. Can I just buy him with real money?

5 or 6 bucks I think. It's what I usually do. Fight money always gets spent on stages and costumes.

 

[SwamiLeoni]

I never really played 4; the mechanics for buffing moves just reminded me of him. And I recalled that almost nobody used him competitively. Did Infiltration beat Snake Eyez with him? I feel like they showed a clip during Evo.

It looks like that only works in the corner for me anyway.

He wasn't that good at all. When I was playing him he wasn't even oiled up at the beginning of each round. I only played him because of this.



And it stopped a lot of air and special attacks. Even some of the ground. I just imagine my opponents face when they had to look at this lol.

 

[SwamiLeoni]

It looks like that only works in the corner for me anyway.

Don’t know how to time stamp but it starts at :40. Looks like a two bar, EXFB > VT > lk.tiger knee > EXDP

Ok, I just did it. The EX low tiger knocks them high enough to complete it. Tiger Knee as soon as you can after activation.
