Walkthrough: How to complete Sagat's Trials in Challenge Mode

One of the things people struggle the most with on Sagat's trials during the first couple of moves is his Fake Kick. If you have turbo, it's not too bad, but if not try jumping and spamming Hard Kicks until you land. This seems to ease the timing a bit.

Some of his Harder trials can be a bit of pain, but if you play Sagat a lot, his Trials aren't too far off what you'll be using for combos in a match.

Hard Trial 4 though requires VERY strict timing, so you'll probably need a lot of practice before you'll be able to complete that one.

Completing all of Sagat's Trails will unlock a few Icons and Titles for him.

Normal: Trial 1 • Towards + Hard Punch.
• Towards + Light Kick.
• Towards + Hard Kick.
• Fake Kick — Tap Hard Kick twice EXTREMELY quickly.
Normal: Trial 2 • High Tiger Shot.
• Low Tiger Shot.
• Tiger Uppercut.
• Tiger Knee.
• Tiger Genocide (Super).
• Tiger Destruction (Ultra).
Normal: Trial 3 • Standing Medium Punch, Cancel into Tiger Uppercut.
• Crouching Medium Kick, Cancel into High Tiger Shot.
• Standing Medium Kick, Cancel into Tiger Knee.
• Crouching Medium Punch, Cancel into Tiger Genocide (Super).
Normal: Trial 4 • Jumping Hard Kick, Crouching Medium Kick, Cancel into Tiger Knee, Cancel into Tiger Genocide (Super).
• Jumping Hard Kick, Crouching Medium Punch, Cancel into Tiger Uppercut.
• Jumping Hard Kick, Standing Medium Punch, Cancel into EX-High Tiger Shot, juggle with EX-Tiger Uppercut.
• Towards + Hard Kick, juggle with Tiger Destruction (Ultra).
• Tiger Genocide (Super), juggle with Tiger Destruction (Ultra).
Normal: Trial 5 • Crouching Light Kick, Link into Crouching Medium Punch.

All you need to do is put the HK on both A and B and slide your finger up and down the A and B buttons as fast as you can until it's complete. Should take about 15 seconds, depending on how good your masturbating skills are.

Any tips on Hard Trial 4? I can't figure it how to do it. :(
When I try, the focus attack always gets blocked, or it doesn't stun.

Nevermind, I got it, lol.

Please, can someone tell me what does mean "if you have turbo". What's that "turbo"???

 

Posted by Legend on May 11, 2009 at 1:16 p.m. #12

^They mean a joystick with turbo buttons (rapid fire)^

Re: FAKE KICK:

1) Change the Fierce Kick button to a face button (A,B,X, or Y)

2) Place two finger tips hovering above the button, enough to feel the button touching skin

3) Hold you finger tips like half an inch away from each other

4) Run them over the button as to make each tip press down once, kind of like the mtion you would make when pretending that your hand is a person running and fingers are "legs"

In other words, "Run over the button as if your hand was a running AOL IM yellow guy"

I can do the fake kick at will during matches with this technique. It's also mcuh easier with a joystick if you have that...the buttons are much more responsive. I have the fake kick sometimes come out by mistake with the TE.

Could someone please teach/tip me on Trial Hard 04... I managed to get up to the final move (Tiger Knee Crush) but accidently panicked into a Tiger Uppercut since I wasn't paying attention...

 

Posted by TIGERUPURBUTT on May 31, 2009 at 11:45 a.m. #15

To do the Fake kick, just assign HK to either a,b,y or x.
Afterwards, put your pointing finger on top of the button.
And the most important part of all:
KEEP RAMMING IT LIKE THE FIST OF AN ANGRY GOD.

It'll work. If you do it fast enough, it fake kicks.
If you want to master it, then good luck. I'm still only halfway.

 

Posted by Briscoe on June 11, 2009 at 11:55 a.m. #16

fake kick is very easy.
forget "the two finger tips " Just jump and make a HK and before landing press HK very fast serval times and you will be able to comfirm Fake Kick very easy.

 

Posted by KenB1988 on June 22, 2009 at 2:33 a.m. #17

Briscoe is right XD ... I did it the hard way..lol soft and gentle input XD ... other Sagat moves are easy..

sagat's hard trial #3 is an idiot and i quit the challenge. EX focus cancels are hard to fit into the combo.

 

Posted by rabbidmonkey4 on August 12, 2009 at 5:40 p.m. #19

Trial 3
I told myself i was going to stop trying Trial # 3 a week ago, I came back, I told myself I'd stop 30 minutes ago, I can't. Someone please help me!!

A lot of the time I'll dash right under Dan after doing the upper cut, or if I don't the hard kick with its forward motion will put me under him. Can someone help me? Any tricks help to do it?

3 times I did the entire combo but instead of finishing with an ultra I did a low ex tiger shot. So infuriating.

Tip on how I got that, custom button setup: Right trigger is all 3 kicks, Y is medium punch, X is hard punch, A is focus attack. That way you go right trigger, then can easily move your thumb to Y, X, A, then back to right trigger for the finish. Though I'm still 1 move short of success..

 

Posted by rabbidmonkey4 on August 12, 2009 at 6:08 p.m. #20

YES YES YES! I GOT IT!

I think getting the right distance helped but don't quote me on that - just far enough away, you can probably watch a youtube video of someone doing it to confirm.

What killed me was I did it once before with a medium upper cut instead of a hard, though I was just happy I was close.

On the plus side all this freaking practice has made it so I could probably pull those wicked 3 hitters in a real game without even thinking about it. Man I need a hobby that impresses girls...

i cant do the 3 light kicks he keeps moving away after 1st contact-_-

 

Posted by rabbidmonkey4 on August 15, 2009 at 9:24 a.m. #22

try moving closer? 3 light kicks is all a timing thing - pressing kick as fast as possible didn't work for me, after awhile i got the rythem down for the speed you have to press kick and got it. I can't do it consistently though.

AND YES, couple hours later I finally got freakin trial 4. How I got it:
Dan in corner, sagat right up against him.
on your focus attack you have to hold it just long enough so it goes lvl 2 and crumbles Dan, if Dan blocks you waited too long, if he gets hit and doesn't crumble, too fast. (after your tiger shot you want to hit Dan when his head is at its lowest point when getting hit)

Dash forward after, then do the crouch medium punch to knee. I had probably just as much trouble with this part as I did getting the timing on the focus. What helped me was practicing Dashing then doing the crouching medium punch to knee separately, then piecing the two sections together.

And everytime you try - finish out the combo, even if you don't get the focus hit timing right - so when you do get it right you'll instinctively do the rest of the combo.

Well I'll never be doing that again, fun times.

whoever created the time mechanics and combos for street fighter 4 should be shot.

 

Posted by rabbidmonkey4 on August 16, 2009 at 7:39 a.m. #24

Trial 5 - if you made it this far you probably don't need my help but this was still kinda a pain for me so here's my tip. Set you controls so Y is light kick, X is medium punch, A is all 3 punches. This way when you go from light kick to punch to EX its a little smoother. (not a good idea for a real game but I doubt many would pull this crap off in a real game)

Main thing is the timing between the light kick and medium punch. And for whatever reason I can only pull off the ultra after doing the EX uppercut when attacking left. Try it out, might be different for you. When you do the ultra you have to do it quick enough that at the end of the freeze frame Dan is so high up that hes actually off the screen for it to land.

Hope this helps.

Rabbid you're a moron, quit playing Street Fighter.

 

Posted by SF4noob on September 2, 2009 at 12:35 p.m. #26

sagats 3rd hard trial is an absolute b!tch.. can anyone tell me how to hit the forward HK after the EX cancel? i have everything down, except nailing the kick before the ultra.. and i could easily do the standing forward HK to ultra.. its just another pain in the ass combo that i will never use.. sagat is utterly useless.. he's just an overpowered, undercombo'd, waste of a character.. 99.9% of the people that use him just stand in the corner and throw tiger shots the whole time.. lame..

 

Posted by Erockk on September 16, 2009 at 11:08 p.m. #27

Sf4 noob,

Don't try to forward high kick too fast after you dash cancel. It's a little bit slower than the other shoto dash cancels. And I agree about Sagat, I just wanted the icons. Once you get past 3. they are really east.

So i have finally decided to do the challenge trials on street fighter. Took me about an hour but i figured it out(This challenge 4 sure is tricky. I did't realize it had to be level 2 and end up in crumble it was getting me mad.

Anyways the easiest way I found was going into the corner(I chose left)getting right in dans face doing MK to MK lowfireball. From there there is no trick just spend the time to learn how long you can hold focus attack before they recover

i finished all the trials... done fuertes 5th 2days ago =) (with a pad)
