Street Fighter 6 is going to be adding the master of Muay Thai starting next month. On August 5, 2025, Sagat joins the roster of fighters, bringing with him one heck of a grudge and a mean suite of fighting moves. It’s a lot of knees, uppercuts, and, well, fireballs! Take a look at him in action in this trailer:

For those attending EVO in Las Vegas, you’ll be among the first members of the public to give Sagat a whirl, as he’ll be playable during the festivities. Sagat comes with a couple of outfits in tow: Outfit 1 ifeatures a darker Muay Thai-inspired theme, while Outfit 2 is an ode to his Street Fighter II appearance. Outfit 2 can be unlocked in World Tour by maxing out your bond with Sagat or purchased with Fighter Coins. What’s more, dropping alongside Sagat are Outfit 4 swimsuits for seven characters, including Cammy, Luke, Chun-Li, Manon, Jamie, Kimberly and A.K.I.

Here’s a rundown of Sagat’s moveset:

  • High Tiger Shot: Fire a ki blast forward to hit standing opponents, with the blast fired at different speeds depending on the button being pressed
  • Low Tiger Shot: Fire a ki blast forward that can hit crouching opponents. Use both fireballs to keep opponents guessing!
  • Tiger Uppercut: A powerful anti-air attack which the heavy version can be held down to send opponents flying
  • Tiger Knee Crush: Leap forward and catch opponents off guard with a powerful knee attack
  • Tiger Nexus: A brand new special move where Sagat strikes with his knee and can then be followed up with three different kicks – Mighty Tiger, Greedy Tiger, or Nova Tiger
  • Tiger Cannon: Sagat’s Level 1 Super Art, where he fires a mighty Tiger Shot
  • Savage Tiger: Sagat’s Level 2 Super Art, where after Sagat leaps forward, this Super Art can be followed up with four moves.
    • Savage Tiger Raid: The highest damage of all the options
    • Savage Tiger Zenith: Launches the opponent in the air and can be followed up with more attacks
    • Savage Tiger Pendulum: Allows Sagat to switch places with his opponent
    • Savage Tiger Stomp: Leaves Sagat close to the enemy, allowing for better “oki”
  • Tiger Vanquisher: Sagat’s Level 3 Super Art unleashes all of his power in a series of devastating kicks and a beastly uppercut
