How Capcom Transformed Sagat Into A Surprisingly Deep Character

The original boss of the Street Fighter franchise is often and understandably cited as SF2's M. Bison, but the final and frustratingly overpowered challenge of the very first Street Fighter game was none other than The Emperor of Muay Thai: Sagat. Though he started his career as a main antagonist, Sagat would actually go through more of a character arc than most other SF characters. He was demoted to sub-boss status in Street Fighter 2 and evolved further during Street Fighter Alpha from being an all out baddie to showing early signs of perhaps becoming one of the good guys.

Sagat's history is an especially interesting one as he wrestles with relatable inner demons that Capcom expertly depicts through clever symbolism, and the fact that he's a towering and battle-torn badass surely helps add to the charisma factor. From before SF1 all the way up to current day and potentially beyond, here's the full story of Sagat leading into Street Fighter 6.
