Bison Vs One Eyed Joe

Going to write this guide again..Haiz..

Things You Need to Know in this matchup:
Sagat have a kara uppercut which means that you had to be careful about jumping over lk tiger shot,even if you are 3/4 screen away from sagat
Beware of cr.lp when doing your sk loop.Cr.lk is not as strong as before..
Know the range where your cr.lk and cr.mk and also cr.mp beat sagat cr.lp after sk
Know your opponent's frame trap.(Is he catching your early tech or late tech?)
Ex tiger knee used to escape from corner.Look out for it..

I feel the main concept in this matchup is to drive Sagat into the corner where his options are limited.
There are technically 3 ranges that Bison players want to be in:
1.The range where you can ex sk over the fireball(Pretty good esp when you have life lead.).This is normally around a bit less than 3/4 screen away from Sagat
2.The range where you can do your sk loop(Highest damage potential for bison compared to other range that Bison can be in.)
3.The range where Sagat normals will whiff and be punished by st.mk and st.hk

Far Range:
Sagat do have pretty good tools to punish your devil reverse.
Since devil reverse can land in:
1.Full screen away from sagat(Slow tiger shot)
2.Middle screen away from sagat(F.hk or kara uppercut or ultra 2)
3.Right in front of sagat(Jump back hp)
But it is still a good way to earn a bit of meter and slowly advance in.
The range where you do empty jump to whiff sagat uppercut and do jump hk if sagat throw out a fireball is priceless

Mid Range:
This is a very tricky range for Bison.
Sagat do have pretty good normals that can stuff Bison's normals but Bison can also do likewise.
The best range i feel is the range where sagat normals will whiff and you can apply your sk pressure and your normals.
Look out for sagat cr.hp,st.hk,cr.mp,st.mk.Either whiff it and punish with st.hk or st.mk or just sk after Sagat's normal.

Close Range:
Know the distance where your cr.lk and your cr.mk and your cr.mp can beat sagat normals.
Very Close Range-Cr.lk wins cr.lp
At the tip of the cr.mk and cr.mp-Cr.mk and the cr.mp wins
Beware of ex tiger knee which can be used to escape.Either st.hk after sk or sit around 3/4 screen where it can be reacted and punish.
Walk forward hk and jump mp to punish any jump back attempt from Sagat which is used to catch Bison sk.

Preferred Ultra-I feel that ultra 2 limits Sagat fireball game and punish pretty hard now compared to Super.If you wan damage,use Ultra 1.
