None of Sagat's trials are particularly hard but I spent 3 hours straight just barely missing WR each time. I dropped the 6LK to 2LP link on Trial 19 but luckily only lost a couple seconds. Trial 16 was a new strat I came up with instead of using EX Knee to reach the corner, saving about 2 seconds. The U1 must be juggled early because the first hit doesn't reach.

Some of the trials that start with forward dash are actually kara focus dashes, since Sagat moves forward at the beginning of his focus animation. I learned that strat from Marduke's run but I think I was timing mine faster. You don't have to charge the focus at all, a simple input of 6MP+MK6 will get Sagat in range for his 2LK, 2MK, and 5LP links.
