If you go online in Street Fighter IV, inevitably most people will choose Sagat. Why? Because he’s one of the top two most powerful fighters in the game. The other is Seth, the uber-cheap boss from the single player mode. It turns out Capcom made an oopsy with these two fighters as they’re a bit more powerful than anticipated.

Yes, Seth and perhaps Sagat might have turned out a little bit stronger than we expected. [...] A good player of another character can always beat a good Sagat player or a good Seth player. I don’t think it’s too out of proportion, but we do acknowledge that they turned out a bit more powerful than we expected.

If you look at the world’s top Street Fighter IV players, none of them use either Sagat or Seth, which does go to say that it’s not who you pick, it’s how you use them. Still, I wonder if Capcom can re-balance the game a bit with a future patch.
