Sagat Origins - This Deadly Muay Thai Master Is Street Fighter's Most Dangerous Combatant!

[@thebrownbaldy]

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.

[@TheHeroExodus]

Not Joe higashi? For shame

[@douglasmorris7747]

Joe Higashi another great Muay Thai.

[@hemi5.7awdpursuit5]

@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😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@nomadnorbert]

I practice Muay Thai thanks to Sagat as well but i love Joe Higashi more tho!

[@shermanwaren159]

Nah its 2022, Sagat has been to Turkey since then, so you're on your own there with that book man

[@iROChakri]

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.

[@justamurse5646]

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.

[@iROChakri]

@@justamurse5646 Well, today ... the most popular and probably most efficient combination is Muay thai (striking), Wrestling (take downs), and BJJ (ground work).

[@justamurse5646]

@@iROChakri wrestling wins homie, no doubt. Just an fyi wrestling involves a lot of groundwork too, controlling someone. American folkstyle exists for a reason.

[@iROChakri]

@@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 😌

[@justamurse5646]

@@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.

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

[@danielventura3617]

Yea but alot is wrong... he lost his eye to Dan's dad, he was already a muay thai fighter

[@coryakabueze4541]

Sagat is my favorite street fighter character

[@raistlarn]

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.

[@brogoram]

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

[@SKMGCavali]

I’ll take it even further. りゅう or リュウ is pronounce as Roo in actual Japanese

[@derekbidelman2442]

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

One of my prayers have been answered! There's hope for E. Honda yet! Thank you form making this video!

[@ZekeThePlumber86]

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!

[@Chuck_EL]

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

[@billcox8870]

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.

[@dejatwixt9214]

I remember that. These two plastic big bubbles that you had to hit hard to use.

[@rodgerbroadway5555]

Sagat has been one of my top favorite fighters in this game. He's a beast.

[@sirianfelixbrightonesquire3247]

Underrated and overlooked. Sagat is king of the ring

[@Chuck_EL]

​@@sirianfelixbrightonesquire3247 i love they brought back his budda statue in the back when you fight at his dojo stage in sf 6

[@marcuscrawford585]

"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!.

[@AFoxInFlames]

I forgot how much I loved Street Fighter...I think I'm gonna go play lol

[@antwan1357]

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.

[@SayDatShiii...]

My first favorite player..💯

[@matgladu]

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

[@junjunmulleda5467]

You didn't mention that he is named after the Muay Thai legend Sagat Petchyindee himself, who also had a eye patch.

[@joehayes9767]

I see Sagat, I HIT that like

[@jthreefingers8445]

Saw a comic where sagat fought ken, beat him, killed him, and cut off his head and sent it to Ryu.

[@mattdunn1024]

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

[@mattdunn1024]

Sagat and Balrog jumped Ken in an alley or something like that

[@huskaroar6869]

FYI there is no belt system in Muay Thai.

[@SSFhdCLAN]

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.

[@sageneodraconus]

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.

[@stargazer2280]

In alternate universe, Sagat is an Asian variant of Nick Fury in MCU

[@deathmoverz]

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.
