Last month, we got to learn the full Season 3 DLC lineup for Street Fighter 6, and now it’s time to see the first new character in action.
Capcom just released the official gameplay trailer for Sagat in Street Fighter 6.
The new trailer provides a much better look at Sagat’s toolkit in SF6, which has a lot of familiar moves for fans, but also some new tricks up his nonexistent sleeves.
He obviously has his signature Tiger Uppercut, Tiger Knee and Tiger Shots back once again, and there’s now even more he can do.
Sagat looks to have a new knee strike special, Tiger Nexus, that has multiple follow-ups including what may be an overhead, a high kick and launching knee that allows for combo extensions.
It appears the Muay Thai emperor can also now charge up his Tiger Uppercuts to perform a cinematic follow-up and presumably more damage.
His level 1 Super Art seems to be his Tiger Cannon, which was his V-Trigger in Street Fighter 5, and is shown beating out Ryu’s Shinku Hadoken head on.
The level 2 Super, Savage Tiger, appears to have four different versions including one that launches the opponent into the air for further combos.
And his level 3 Tiger Vanquisher is a brutal beatdown, which is fitting to see used against his former boss.
Unsurprisingly, Sagat looks to have ridiculous range on some of his normals and is shown out poking his opponents with ease.
It also appears as though Capcom has leaned even further into his Muay Thai style with more elbows and knee strikes than ever before.
We also get to see that Sagat’s Outfit 2 is his classic costume from the original Street Fighter games as well as get a better look at his new Proud Spire stage.
Sagat is scheduled to release on August 5 alongside the first batch of Outfit 4 DLC for Street Fighter 6.
Those attending Evo 2025 next month can try Sagat a few days early at Capcom’s booth for the event.
