Height: 182cm (5'11")
Weight: 73kg (161 lbs.)
Blood type: B
Birthplace: Thailand
Special Skill: Waiku (a dance in Muay Thai)
Likes: Muay Thai
Dislikes: Sagat; People who can't back up what they say
Fighting Style: Muay Thai

Adon was the pupil of Sagat. After seeing his master defeated by Ryu, Adon feels Sagat is now his inferior. (Apparently, Adon forgot that he also lost to Ryu himself.) Adon now wants to challange Sagat to earn the title of God of Muay Thai.
-Krendall
Adon makes his grand return from Street Fighter 1. He isn't terribly insanely good, but Adon has nice things like Jaguar Kick and good supers. Most of his positives in this game though is just shit he doesn't have in Alpha 2, and noone knows why that's the case.

Godlike priority that beats a ton of low moves. Spam it like crazy to beat a lot of low and mids, but be aware that some high pokes (like Ryu St.HP) will hit you right out of it.

Use this to punish fireballs, the hitboxes are positioned in a way that he can easily do it unlike Alpha 2 where it sometimes doesn't even work.

Special Moves

Rising Jaguar

Works Like Dan kicks where it's the exact same hitbox just aimed at different spots.

Like other multi-hit specials you can simply crouch the second hit on block making it even more -

A far cry from Alpha 2 where the developers seemingly didn't test the move. Jaguar Kicks can actually be used to go over and BEAT fireballs. You can even COMBO or blockstring off Jaguar Kicks!!! This makes Jaguar Kick go from a suicidal move that you only use in CCs (like nearly every other trash move in Alpha 2) to a good move which is the reason to use Adon in Alpha 1. Ryu cannot cr.MK into HP Hadouken (aka Knockdown) on hit unlike Alpha 2, but he can try to get out of st.MK to Jaguar Kick blockstring with DP, which leads to the next point with Jaguar Tooth

Version Damage Stun Startup Active Frame Adv Meter Block Properties
Hcb.png + Lk.png 17-20 8 - - 0 to +7 depending on how deep the kick hits - High.png -

A decent annoyance and movement tool. The Jaguar Tooth is useful as a niche special move, it is safer on block unlike Alpha 2 but like in Alpha 2 you can use this to whiff punish or do mindgames, but as usual with Adon's moves, it's better here than there. Again going back to St.MK into Jaguar Kick, Ryu could reversal DP to hit you out of it, but if you instead st.MK into Jaguar Tooth, then you can punish that DP.

Super Combos

Jaguar Varied Assault
qcf,qcf+P

On round start (or when you're close to the opponent), unless you're blocking before the flash, this super is unblockable. Unlike Alpha 2, this super is a great rush super with awesome range and good damage. Jaguar Thousand
(Assault Lv3) Mash P

Jaguar Assasin
(Assault Lv3) Mash K

Jaguar Revolver
qcb,qcb+K

Good to punish fireballs with. If you hit this, you can combo into Rising Tiger for more damage. INSANE damage off Level 3 into Rising Tiger.

The Basics

Advanced Strategy

Adon's Standing/Crouching WP, WK, and Standing MP can all chain into a stronger attack. For example, WP,MP,SK. Be annoying. You have good normals, good supers, and some cheeky tricks like the cr.HP that goes around fireballs.
-Krendall


Combos

Stand lk, duck hk/stand hk

Duck lk, stand mp, duck hk/stand hk Unless birdie,sodom,or sagat, the opponent must be standing. So most likely after a cross up, a close roll punish, or if a wiffed DP something to that exstent. Note that stand hk hits slightly farther then sweep.

Duck lp/lk, duck mp/stand mp/stand mk, level 1 qcfX2+p.

rdp+lk, duck lk, duck hk/stand hk/level 1 qcfX2+p. On ducking opponent or after hitting a late jaguar kick.

Air knock down(kick super, jaguar tooth, jaguar kick etc) jaguar knee. Works as long as you havnt juggled more the 2 hits in the air. Rollable.

Jump hk, duck lp, stand mp, jaguar kick. Most likely only on dizzy opponent if not going for the super.


Match-ups

Tidbits

Note that adon, along with guy, chun li, and sodom*(not including his reversal only moves)is one of the character who can not escape akuma and guys throw loop with out a reversal super. And even then he can be punished after the super wiffs. A jump lk, and lk jaguar kick switchs(still is blocked normally)with most characters in the corner.
