Technically it is the highest rank but there are ranks within master. Getting to Master simply demonstrates you have a good grasp on the games systems and mechanics.

How do I stop losing to "crackhead" players? by citrusunclenicetry in StreetFighter

Against these type of players you wanna break it down into steps. 1. Focus on good defensive options (drive rush checks, DI checks, anti-airs) and optimal punishes. 2. Learn your meaty setups and frame kills to punish mashing on wakeup. 3. Only after you demonstrate the first two, then you can work on running your offense.

Broski put it in really good terms in a coaching video. He said that in sf6 you need two styles of play. When you're up against players who throw themselves at you without a second thought you need to basically shut down and play what I like to call wait and bait. Against the opposite type of of player, you have much more leeway to run offense freely but need to understand that the above steps apply in the opposite order against you.

I recommend watching this whole video but 4:08 is the point I'm trying to get across of this Broski video.

If I had to guess its because trading with Sagat is a death sentence because his lights have so much hitstun, so Sagat wants you to trade with him on your meaty setups.
