  • Ong-Bak/Sagat

    Don't know how many of you have watched Ong-Bak(watching it for the second time today... DO NOT WATCH IT IN ENGLISH!), but it centers around the Muay Thai martial art(absolutely awesome moves), which I don't know much about, like why they use their elbows far more than their fists. Anyway, in the Street Fighter series two characters are Muay Thai users, Sagat and Adon, and Capcom is very good about reflecting the real martial art style in their games, save for y'know the special moves and supers, but I was kinda wondering as I was watching Ting in Ong-Bak do all these amazingly acrobatic and fluid kicks and elbows why Sagat looks so much different. Are there different types of Muay Thai?

    Yeah. It's called theatrical muay thai which is not used anywhere but in movies.

        So then true Muay Thai don't use their elbows as much?

          Sagat doesn't use Muay Thai, all he does is spam Tiger Shot and when you jump in he does Tiger Uppercut OMG

            I know I HATED that so much... only way to get past it is to roll(Capcom vs SNK 2) or do Shoryukens/Tatsumaki sempu kyakus to avoid the low ones in the older SFs, or Zangief's Lariet.

            But what's worse(if you have played Marvel vs Capcom 2 as well), the aforementioned "tiger tiger tiger" or Cable's "4 gun shots, viper beam, hyper viper beam, 4 gun shots, viper beam, hyper viper beat, etc" or MegaMan's "ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey ey Hyper Rockman!"

                    I'm reminded of street fighter 2 turbo

                    On topic, ong bak was an incredible movie. I bought it a few days ago and watched it again...still amazed.

                          They punch more than they elbow, but punches are mostly setups for kicks, elbows or knees.

                          I was under the assumption that most of UFCs latest title holders were mostly strikers.

                          And if you look at Pride FC, the best fighting organization, the two MW belt holders are from chute box, who focus on the standup. I guess the best HW is a grappler, but he has strong standup and he held his own against Mirko Crocop, the most prominent striker in MMA. If he keeps on improving with the same speed he has up until now the belt might be his in their rematch.

                          Edit: Forgot to add, the standup that chute box does is muay thai.

                              Do you have any idea how much more durable your elbow and knee are compared to your fist or foot respectfully?

                              That is why.
