Introduction
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.
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. 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.
Provided the player does not recklessly use Adon's move. His pressure, free chip damage, and frame traps will crack even the sturdiest of players. With meter, Projectiles mean nothing to Adon, he possesses an instant overhead at any time with EX Air Jaguar kick, multiple armor breaking moves with or without meter meaning focus attacks mean nothing to him. Adon rewards the patient play with good knowledge of his normals. His Ultra changes cost him some of his pressure at the gain of more consistent damage. Double Ultra gives Adon the tools to handle most if not all situations and even then buffs to his normal ultras allows them to be more consistent. His back throw still has excellent range coupled with the ability to kara cancel it meaning Adon is still deadly up close.
