If you didnt know, Sagat was a representation of how Muay thai fighters beat other styles in fights in 19th centaury, where most raw martial arts from different countries were put to test against each other. That's why he's the final villain and he's insanely powerful.
Yesss and they were really early to represent this, when mma was still in it infancy and really only fighters knew about Muay Thai and Boxing smashing so many other striking arts.
@@justamurse5646 Well, today ... the most popular and probably most efficient combination is Muay thai (striking), Wrestling (take downs), and BJJ (ground work).
@@iROChakri wrestling wins homie, no doubt. Just an fyi wrestling involves a lot of groundwork too, controlling someone. American folkstyle exists for a reason.
@@justamurse5646 Actually no, pure wrestling never wings pure muay thai. This is because muay thai stance invites take downs but wrestling stance invites knockouts. When we see a video of wrestling vs muay thai, a wrestler actually uses a boxing stance (better footwork and faster movement), and they even strike. Its always wrestling with striking ie mma vs muay thai 😌
@@iROChakri nah man go look at the first few UFC’s. Muay Thai purist we’re getting dumped on their heads and choked/pummeled to oblivion by wrestlers like Don Frye, Dan Severn, Mark Coleman. No wrestler in a real fight is going to be bent over at the waste, or need to be to get a pure striker down. To think that is just inexperienced. It’s hard to find anything like that no, almost any one crosstrains to some extent.
Yes! He was always my favorite! This channel puts out so much good content! Some mispronunciations here and there, but you can't complain when they're doing fan serve to such a great variety! Thank you!
This dude (next to Tony Jaa in Ong Bak) is why I love and practice Muay Thai. Sagat is a beast. He also has a bald head, so that's extra points in my book.
@mr.thomas3833 Yea I agree Sagat was most influential character that got me involved in Muay Thai from Karate. His solid mass dense bones brutal strikes does it for me😎😎😎😎😎😎
"All his moves were so clean and smooth". This entire video is awesome, and the analysis is on point...but that quote made me become a subscriber. You a real one, keep up the great work!.
Not one to correct people, but this literally was making my head hurt. The names of the Street Fighter characters Sagat and Ryu are pronounced Suh-got, and Re-you.
nahh..the information came to the world years ago..he just love those americanize names. Just like the guy with the video game history chanel. (the guy with high top hat) Still calls ryu as rye-you to this day
People's name can be pronounced anyway you wish, it's usually the person themselves that decides the way it is pronounced and since these are make-believe characters, say it however you want
I played and beat the very first Street fighter. I did not have that kind of luck with subsequent versions. The machine I played on had two oversized buttons. One for punching and one for kicking.
People seem to forget Sagat Beat Ryu in a fair one vs one but Ryu tapped into the Satsui No Hadou when injured so that’s the only reason He beat Sagat . Sagat is the real best in the world
In the early games I thought Sagat was actually very similar to Ryu , and Ken. With many people believing that Sagat got his scar from one of the two in that rivalry outside of the tournament.
Love this "series" of origins. If I may make a suggestion, if timestamps can available for the different aspects of the story? Like Chapters?? (I don't know what YT calls it)
Gotta make a correction here. He does have the scar in the animated movie. If you watch the uncut version in the opening of the movie when Ryu hits him with the Shoryuken it rips his chest open. Then it shows him holding his chest while blood runs down it. Then Ryu does his Hadoken as Sagat is blindly running towards him.
@@yendorthegrand4078 Ryu is an actual Japanese word and name-. This isn't a debatable issue as their is an established correct way to pronounce it. If japanese person pronounced Richard as Rick hard that would sound just as dumb too.
@@yendorthegrand4078 it's not MY "established correct way"! Japanese is a language spoken by over123 million people for thousands of years. Are you telling them all they're pronouncing their own words wrong?!
@@uxm4life94 I'm not saying that anyone is pronouncing it wrong. You are saying that. I'm saying that we have our own way of things. It doesn't hurt any mature person.
I saw that too. It was Malibu comics, I think. And he didn't cut his head off, he scalped him, took ALL that hair off lol, and sent the scalp to Ryu. I do think he killed him tho
This is good now on the other real fighters of the series Cody Fei long and Guy and adon and the legendary assassin gen you can't leave the life and constant deaths of charlie Nash and the rise of gill the line in the movie I guess you didn't see that did you
Lol “I GUESS YOU DIDNT SEEEEEEEEE THAT DID YOU?????” One of the most memorable lines! I thought about that while watching this. Glad to someone did too.
I’m so upset with sf6. They completely abandoned such good story telling potential for a story that sucks. I’m so sad. I loved street fighter with all my heart.
I thought Dan's father was responsible for Sagat's eye being missing or damaged or whatever. Like specifically this one guy. Not numerous fights. I may be wrong. I only heard it from someone way back when. Dan's father (yes Dan the pink gi wearing dipshit joke character) caused the eye and Ryu caused the chest scar. His two major injuries. Edit Okay. I got a little further in. Sagat's eye was damaged beforr fighting Go Hibiki but that guy apparently caused the final damage resulting in the patch it seems. Got it. That makes sense.

hes my favorite too....i actually won a street fighter tournament as him when i was 12 in 92 at a sears game con at out local sears
One of my prayers have been answered! There's hope for E. Honda yet! Thank you form making this video!
I love how in-depth you guys go into these videos you would never think a video on sagat would be so long and have as many facts
Yea but alot is wrong... he lost his eye to Dan's dad, he was already a muay thai fighter
“Tiger!…..Tiger!…..Tiger Uppercut!!!!”
-Me
This dude (next to Tony Jaa in Ong Bak) is why I love and practice Muay Thai. Sagat is a beast.
He also has a bald head, so that's extra points in my book.
Not Joe higashi? For shame
Joe Higashi another great Muay Thai.
@mr.thomas3833 Yea I agree Sagat was most influential character that got me involved in Muay Thai from Karate. His solid mass dense bones brutal strikes does it for me😎😎😎😎😎😎
I practice Muay Thai thanks to Sagat as well but i love Joe Higashi more tho!
Nah its 2022, Sagat has been to Turkey since then, so you're on your own there with that book man
Sagat is my favorite street fighter character
"All his moves were so clean and smooth". This entire video is awesome, and the analysis is on point...but that quote made me become a subscriber. You a real one, keep up the great work!.
Fun fact: Sagat is based on real-life Muay Thai champion, Sagat Petchyindee.
Sagat has been one of my top favorite fighters in this game. He's a beast.
Underrated and overlooked. Sagat is king of the ring
@@sirianfelixbrightonesquire3247 i love they brought back his budda statue in the back when you fight at his dojo stage in sf 6

@@derekbidelman2442 couldn't say it better!!!!! Awesome lol I always thought ryu sounded like Bruce Lee but man was I wrong.......

I remember that. These two plastic big bubbles that you had to hit hard to use.
My first favorite player..💯
I see Sagat, I HIT that like
You mean you Tiger Uppercut the like button?
Excellent video thanks happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone in this awesome lobby 🇱🇷 😎
I forgot how much I loved Street Fighter...I think I'm gonna go play lol
All hail the true Tiger King!
You didn't mention that he is named after the Muay Thai legend Sagat Petchyindee himself, who also had a eye patch.
MY GOAT!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
People seem to forget Sagat Beat Ryu in a fair one vs one but Ryu tapped into the Satsui No Hadou when injured so that’s the only reason He beat Sagat . Sagat is the real best in the world
I love this channel thanks for the content
Dude for the past 3 days around the same time I get one of these.....thank you
You should do a background of Guy.
It's Thanksgiving And I Got a Street Fighter Video kudos kudos

Shout-out to this game being in the movie Juice
In the artwork he looks a lot like a european not a Thai tho. Love the real Sagat Petchyindee! Legendary fighter from the golden age of Muay Thai
Love this "series" of origins. If I may make a suggestion, if timestamps can available for the different aspects of the story? Like Chapters?? (I don't know what YT calls it)
Sagat is one of the ogs that define street fighter. He is very icon.
ppl that learn to fight on the street learn to keep their hair short
Gotta make a correction here. He does have the scar in the animated movie. If you watch the uncut version in the opening of the movie when Ryu hits him with the Shoryuken it rips his chest open. Then it shows him holding his chest while blood runs down it. Then Ryu does his Hadoken as Sagat is blindly running towards him.
36 years later and people still aren't pronouncing Ryu properly
We changed the pronunciation to our liking. You may still use the original pronunciation.

I love how you pronounce saget
Great video! But there are no belts in muay thai! :D
Sa-got is a real life role model. Since I'm technically his age now (50) and workout and feeling 25.
My Street Fighter goat.. Nathan Jones is an absolute lock in a real life movie
Victor " The Tiger" Sagat still the king of Muay Thai. All hail the king!
Saw a comic where sagat fought ken, beat him, killed him, and cut off his head and sent it to Ryu.
I saw that too. It was Malibu comics, I think. And he didn't cut his head off, he scalped him, took ALL that hair off lol, and sent the scalp to Ryu. I do think he killed him tho
Sagat and Balrog jumped Ken in an alley or something like that
What is the source of power for street fighter characters?
Alex Periea from ufc needs this role in movie
💯. Sagat doesn’t even look Thai
This is good now on the other real fighters of the series Cody Fei long and Guy and adon and the legendary assassin gen you can't leave the life and constant deaths of charlie Nash and the rise of gill the line in the movie I guess you didn't see that did you
Lol “I GUESS YOU DIDNT SEEEEEEEEE THAT DID YOU?????”
One of the most memorable lines!
I thought about that while watching this. Glad to someone did too.
FYI there is no belt system in Muay Thai.
Muay Thai belts? Like Boxing Belts? Or Wrestling belts?
Sagat look 👀 so silly with hair when whole franchise history he’s been bald
Streetfighter lore is cool.
Wait,Muay Thai belts🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Sagat vs Fahkumram - who wins?
I’m so upset with sf6. They completely abandoned such good story telling potential for a story that sucks. I’m so sad. I loved street fighter with all my heart.
Sagat is a mark!!!
VEGEETA
From my childhood memories Sagat was just a Ryus punching bag in the cartoons. Also Muay Thai is not really "glorified" much in the West.
I thought Dan's father was responsible for Sagat's eye being missing or damaged or whatever. Like specifically this one guy. Not numerous fights. I may be wrong. I only heard it from someone way back when. Dan's father (yes Dan the pink gi wearing dipshit joke character) caused the eye and Ryu caused the chest scar. His two major injuries.
Edit
Okay. I got a little further in. Sagat's eye was damaged beforr fighting Go Hibiki but that guy apparently caused the final damage resulting in the patch it seems. Got it. That makes sense.
Sagat is s true warrior,same as ryu if you think about it...consider his values
Sagit
In alternate universe, Sagat is an Asian variant of Nick Fury in MCU
Saaghat. Saagot. Sa-got.
Tigerrr!
Did he just say tie up your Muay Thai belts? Nfs I’m lightweight offended 😂
Sorry I couldn’t go on after you said vegeta like that the video good but fuck man
Saget is based on a real guy
I thought Sagat was a European who trained in Thailand... What Thais are as big as this guy?
It's really annoying when you pronounce RYU's name wrong.
There are no belts in Muay Thai
Abigail is a Dude 😳
No art original KUN KHMER / Myai Thai is copie KUN KHMER, stupide USA
Why is the copied one more popular and more well-known, shamelss Cambodian? Jealous? Can't promote, can't create but CAN claim shamelessly.😅
I give up... literally every video all the names are mispronounced..
I feel like channels should ask for likes and subs at the end of the video not the beginning cheers
