Super Street Fighter IV AE/Adon

Adon

Adon, a master of Muay Thai, has always lived in the shadow of his teacher and master Sagat. Adon believed his master invincible, until Sagat's defeat at the hands of Ryu. This led Adon to believe that perhaps it was his time to reign as the world's greatest Muay Thai warrior, and he has lost respect for Sagat and aims to pass him up. In learning more about the man who defeated his master, Adon also learned about Akuma and the Satsui no Hado, and now aims to integrate the killing intent into his own Muay Thai art form.

In a nutshell

Adon is an extremely technical character who specializes in controlling space via confusion and mobility. His Jaguar Tooth allows him to avoid and punish fireball characters with relative ease. His various Jaguar Kicks allow him to weave out of certain pesky attacks and punish them severely. Many of Adon's combos require well-timed links and are not very strong, but don't let that put you off. Adon's main weakness is that a lot of his options are, in truth, very risky. Many Adon players will find that a lot of anti-air moves are the final nail in the coffin for their strategies.

AE ver. 2012 Changes

Focus Attack

Adjusted position of hitbox to ease hitting of short opponents.

Close Standing Medium Punch

Shortened hitback and block push distances. Also made attacker have a -4F (dis)advantage when blocked.

Jaguar Revolver

Fixed issue whereby the move could slip around to the back of an opponent on the ground when hit up close. Increased the 3rd hit’s knockdown distance when fighting airborne opponents.

Rising Jaguar

Made super-canceling possible on 2nd active frame of first hit for strong version. Slightly increased forward knockdown distance on first hit for the light, medium, and heavy versions to fix Adon facing the wrong way on EX Focus→Dash.

Jaguar Kick

Expanded body hurtbox downward to toe of lowered leg for light and medium versions. Made expanded part of hurtbox invincible to projectiles. Changed heavy version’s damage from 140 to 130.

AE Changes

• Crouching Light Punch, Close Standing Medium Punch and Crouching Hard Punch all had changes made to their frame data.
• Close Standing Medium Punch, on hit, will have a frame advantage of +6, so it's possible to link specials moves to combo, although it's still not cancelable. This move was -1 on hit in SSF4.
• Far Standing Light Punch, Far Standing Medium Punch and Crouching Medium Punch were given bigger hitboxes.
• EX Jaguar Tooth will not do the yellow EX Flash until he gets to the wall and is invincible to projectiles until grounded.
• Medium Jaguar Kick's hitbox was changed, so Close Standing Hard Punch into Medium Jaguar Kick will register as a combo.
• Super's (Varied Assault) startup changed to 7 frames, down from 9 in SSF4, and the first hit's hitbox is extended downward more.
• Wakeup time was nerfed. Adon now takes longer to get up off the ground than he did in SSF4.
