Opening[]
Sagat heard about a strange entity rumored to give a massive amount of power to who "defeats" it. However, Sagat also heard that there are a lot of people that has been searching for the strange entity to gain the power. But, it's not an easy way to get the power, again he heard that the ones that are searching for the power source has to fight other ones who are searching for the power. He even gets surprised when he hears that his rival, Ryu, is also searching the power source. Sagat doesn't want Ryu to take the power source, but he wants it for himself to reclaim his title and prove himself once more to the world that he is the strongest fighter in the world, by defeating this entity.
Rival[]
Name : Jax
Reason : Sagat was exploring the rival arena, impressed what this entity he heard has made this arena. This convinces Sagat that this entity was getting closer to him, feeling that he was the only one worthy to fight the entity. Suddenly, Jax came and says to Sagat that the "entity" he is talking about can drive him mad. Sagat then says that everyone wants to defeat this entity and gain the power source, so does Jax himself. Knowing Jax's lies, Sagat challenges him to a fight. Jax then proclaims that he is not going for the power source but to stop the power source that makes everyone wants this kind of power. Sagat then throws a tiger shot to Jax but he countered the shot with his missile. Then, Sagat prepares to fight Jax, so does he.
Connection : Both of these characters has fought in Muay Thai style. But, while Sagat is a consistent Muay Thai fighter, which means he always uses the Muay Thai fighting style, Jax only used Muay Thai some times and switches to Judo fighting style. Both of these characters are also muscular and known for their strength. But in different ways. Sagat was already really powerful, probably even near superhuman when he is at the Street Fighter game. While Jax's strength is already powerful during the early MK games. But not as strong as Sagat. Later, he replaced his arms with cybernetic arms that increase his strength after losing both arms to Ermac in Mortal Kombat 9. (2011.) Also, both of these characters are known to inflict a lot of damage in their gameplay.
Transcript[]
- Sagat : "Hmmm.... I am impressed with this place. I believe this entity I heard made this place. This might be the sign the entity is getting closer to me! I felt that this entity says that I am the only one that is worth to fight him! Then, I shall take this..."
- Jax : "(Suddenly came) No! You cannot take the power source! It drives everyone mad to fight each other to the death to get this power! You must stop! Your path ends here!"
- Sagat : "Hahahaha! Really? What's the problem? Everyone was fighting to the death for this power source. Everyone was reaching this power. But, I am the only one that reached this place! If everyone was looking for this entity, then, YOU also wants this power. And that makes your words nothing but a lie! Prove yourself to me!"
- Jax : "No! Listen to me! I'm not for the power source or the entity! I am here to stop the entity! It threatens everyone! It makes people mad! Including you! It's no worth you take this power! Think of the possibilities that can happen. You destroyed your country! Then you held a tournament and everyone came and you kill them! Can't you just think?"
- Sagat : "(Performs his Tiger Shot) Shut up."
- Jax : "(Destroys the shot with his missile) Alright then, you started this. But because you might say I'm a coward, fine, let's do this."
