Interesting list.

32) Best fighter
OK, here’s something that may come as a surprise to fighting fans. (Or maybe not.) Who do you think is the strongest character in Capcom’s Street Fighter IV – the one who’s won the most online matches? It’s not Ken or Ryu, or even Dhalsim, but rather Sagat. He’s got a win-loss ratio of 49:31, having won a whopping 61% of matches.

Definitely the "(Or Maybe Not.)"

Yeah, Sagat is way too overpowered in that game. If a person plays with Sagat, I mentally deduct 2000bp from their total bp to determine how good of a fighter I believe they really are. For example, if a person has 2124 bp and only plays as Sagat, that means he is really only a 124bp figther.

Unfortunately, it's only being true to the series. Sagat has always been broken - I think that the reason they left Sagat out of Marvel vs Capcom 2 was because Capcom didn't want Marvel to get pissed off at having one of their characters run circles around the Four Gods.

I remember having a room-mate who would, ever now and then, pick 3 Sagats in Capcom Vs SNK 2. It got to a point where people would just walk away as soon as the match started, because it was pointless to even try. (I eventually found that I could actually stand a chance if I used 3 Blankas... which also makes it kinda strange that Blanka wasn't in MvC2 either, now that I think about it. It's like Capcom threw the match and placed all their money on Marvel.)

On a less ranty note, I want Lil Poison's massive Sackboy. Wow, that sounds wrong.

Buh, I find the only person who can beat a Sagat player on IV is Blanka, and I can't even use him right. Blanka and Sagat are both so incredibly broken it's silly. Don't get me started on Seth...

Yeah, with Blanka, it's really easy to take out Sagat. Just spam downforward+HP, standing HK, and grabs. Not only are the grabs annoying and do a lot of damage, it also gives you plenty of time to say "BLANKA NO! NOT THE HEAD BITE!"

A list of the 50 greatest videogame related records is incomplete without mentioning the achievements of Billy Mitchell. He should at least get recognition for having the best mullet in gaming.

Sagat comes as no surprise, they have unwritten rules about using him at comps.
