Street Fighter Alpha 3/Adon

Overview Combos Matchups Strategy

Introduction

After the self proclaimed "God of Muay Thai" defeated his former master Sagat in the previous game, Adon now sets his sights on Akuma, as he believes the latter's mastery of the Shun Goku Satsu will make him even more powerful.

Pros	Cons
Great mobility with jaguar kicks and jaguar tooth Light jaguar kick can be used to start pressure from a distance Jaguar tooth can make people second guess reacting to jaguar kicks Great all-around set of normals for both offense and defense s. LK has great frame adv on block One of the best sweeps in the game Level 3 punch super is incredibly safe/long-range and can be easily confirmed into Level 3 kick super has maybe the largest amount start-up invincibility of any super. Punch air grab does full damage even when teched Air jaguars are extremely good for pressure and mobility on X-ISM (great frames on block)	RH jaguar kick can be punishable on hit, depending on spacing Jump-ins aren't that great V-ISM makes reacting to jaguar kicks much easier, which makes it risky to pressure with them Main custom starter requires Adon to be very close against crouching opponents Lacks reliable bread and butters without meter c. MK has a raised hitbox, despite being classed as a low, which means it cannot punish rolls, bull horns, etc

In X-ISM all Adon's aerial kicks are now Jaguar Kicks that can be used at any point during his jump duration, while he loses all his regular kick normals and command Jaguar Kicks this move gives Adon access to annoying aerial gimmickry that can be annoying and difficult to deal with.

The Basics

Which Ism?

A-Ism

Solid all around and gives you access to great supers, but nothing to really outclass V.

V-Ism

Recommended one, decent customs and good corner strings. DPs allows for counterplay against counter-activates.

X-Ism

Keeps his best super. Air jaguars create a very different and highly effective playstyle. He gains a ton of mobility and becomes very difficult to pin down, but they also tend to leave him way more vulnerable to reaction activates. A unique character worth playing against A and X characters. Avoid against V-ISM unless they have very poor anti-air customs.

Discussion

• SRK Adon thread

Characters with long-range activates make it difficult to use jaguar kicks at all. Use with great caution.
