Maj's Footsies handbook

Shot. Should I put this to work with my Sagat? LOL.

If footsies are what I think they are then Sagat has a hard time in SF4 as his walk speed is so slow.

Shit yeah it is.

And all of his normals are slow. The only move that I think can be used to punish whiffs is his standing light kick. Seems like sagats always had shit footsies barring cvs2 where he seems to have awesome footsies.

His alpha 3 footsies weren't too bad. s.mp (similar to his overhead animation in SFIV) was a decent quick ranged poke that had some lower body invincibility, and his c.hp was easily as good as in CVS2 in alpha 3 too. Even his c.hk wasn't that bad either. . .

But yeah, SFIV Sagat ain't about that.

Steven (I Got Paid) once talked about a technique which is related to this. Have you ever seen your opponent struggling to get a difficult move out but they just can't find the gap? Well if you give them an opening their brain will still be set to 'complete task' and they will complete their move even though it is totally unsafe to do so.
This is different to a regular bait as your opponent is not intending to use this move as a counter anymore. They were when they first unsuccessfully attempted it, but  through their frustration they lose sight of winning and the success of completing the move becomes their primary focus!

Try it out and see what happens!

Forgot to mention: the above is some Genius from Stephen.

I always remember his lecture on "Missed combo opportunities", which was some good advice for doing that biggest most efficient combo (or combo set up) as you can instead of being all safe and throwing and shit.

Man some people just cant spot sarcasm to save themselves

[[NIUE] BIRRY WONG]

Ugh, im guilty of that shit.

I often miss something and go into "fuck you im going to land this goddamn move/combo" mode.

[stereomonkey]

I only get that way when I'm playing Guile.  When it comes to missing his super all I wanna do is land the fucker.  Haha

[[NIUE] weazzyefff]

What, aye? Supers gone after you use it.

Oh, and no game exists in my experience besides sf4 lol. Just clicked.

Sometimes you can spot it in desperate Zangief players too.

I tend to do it if it doesn't come out the first time.  I think Euan is the same when it comes to that
