Overview

Drawing from the speed and cunning of the majestic jaguar, Adon's style has been known to mesmerize victims. A master of Muay Thai, Adon trained with Sagat, but when the latter was defeated by Ryu, Adon believed Sagat to be a disgrace. Adon now seeks Sagat to become the Muay Thai leader once and for all.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Adon is pretty good in A2, of course he has a few flaws, but he is blessed with great normals and a damaging CC. When Adon hits, he hits hard.
Great set of normals, cr.mp is great All levels of Custom Combos do amazing damage Great cross-up Great set of supers Long reaching pokes Jaguar tooth mind games Awesome anti-airs	Jaguar Kick is unsafe, even on hit Jaguar Tooth can be CC'd or AC'd pretty easily Sweep is slow and punishable Punch AC has a tendency to not connect fully

Startup	The frame the move hits on (1st active frame). Super moves with a screen freeze will separate pre- and post-screen freeze startup frames by a '+' (Ex: 5+0).
Active	The portion of a move that can hit. How many frames a move remains active for. ()=Inactive frames in-between active frames. [xN]=Repeated sequences.
Frame Adv	The frame advantage values when the attack is blocked. (Add +1 frame to all OnBlockAdv values for the move's OnHitAdv value; Ex: +2oB/+3oH, -4oB/-3oH)
Meter	The units of meter gained on whiff/block/hit. (48, 96, and 144 units of meter are required for 1, 2, and 3 bars of meter respectively)
Block	Low attacks must be blocked crouching. High attacks must be blocked standing. Mid attacks can be blocked either way.

Frames	All framedata collected with the game speed set to normal, where the game tickrate and framerate are the same(60fps).
Speed	All framedata collected with the game speed set to normal.
Hitboxes	All hitbox images have the character standing/jumping in the exact same position, so hitbox distances can be easily compared. Blue: Hurtbox - hittable area of a character. Red: Hitbox - attacking area of an action. Yellow: Throwbox - throwing area of an action. Green: Pushbox - collidable area of a character. White: Axis - core of a character from which all other boxes reference. Pink: Projectile Hitbox - attacking area of a projectile. Light Blue: Projectile Hurtbox - hittable area of a projectile.

First 3 hits are unblockable.
Only the last hit results in a knockdown.
Note: The USA revision (960430), Adon's Punch AC hits the opponent very easily during a fixed animation frame (even if it is a weak attack), making it a slight buff. Special thanks to Raf for the finding!

Adon rapid fists the opponent as an anti-air, and sends them almost fullscreen.

Adon's Kick AC also acts as an anti-air and sends the opponent about 1/4 screen away from you.

16^[8], 13^[8]	12, 10	28	2(0)7	N/A, -12	9/12/15	-

Great air-to-air but is a very unsafe move. On hit they can still do a CC or cr. xx special. Only time it is safe is by distance, example is hitting Ryu's hand with a jag kick at max distance. Using this move wrong will get you killed very fast. Jaguar Kick has slightly better frame advantage if blocked crouching, but is still punishable.

Punishable on hit.

Best version to use to punish fireballs, leaving you far away.

15^[10]	12	43-47	17	-7	2/4/6	-

Nice for mind games, but very easy to CC and alpha counter. Use to make your opponent whiff a move and punish with a CC. Doing this on reaction to a fireball will get you DP'd or CC'd.

Startup depends on the distance to the wall behind Adon.
Better frame advantage the lower Jaguar Tooth hits or is blocked. Can give positive frame advantage.
Unscaled damage in CC.

Travels about half screen.

Travels about 3/4ths screen.

- [Hitbox pictured bottom]

Travels about full screen.
Punishable on hit.

Super Moves

Startup Invulnerability Notes:

At the end of a super screen freeze, projectiles will start moving before the opponent's character is unfrozen, giving the supers more projectile invul. frames than hit invul. frames.

The Basics

You wanna force your opponent to mess up and punish hard. His cross up is very good, and should be done after any knock down. Adon want to zone the oppoent and be smart with jag tooths to make them jumpy. cr. is your friend, but dont under use his other normal cause they are very good, especially cr., cr., . His overhead has good range but use it sparingly since it is slow and can be cc'ed; best used after knocking them down. Just remember: hit hard, always look for a opening to land his cc.

Advanced Strategy

Combos

cr., cr.

cr./xx Jaguar Kick

cr. x2 xx Jaguar Varied Assault

Custom Combos

These ccs can be at any lvl, just watch the meter and end with dp.

1. cr. xx jag kick xN, dp

or cr. xx jag kick x4, dp, dp

2. [cr. xx jag kick xN, xx dp (opponent must be standing)

3. Lvl 3- cr. xx jag kick, dp x2

Anti-air ccs

4. lvl 1- or xx dp x2

5. lvl 2 and up- or xx jag kick xN, dp

6. lvl 3- or xx jag kick, dp x2

This is where Adon shines his long limbs let him punish from far away, even blocked fireballs mid screen. To punish from far as hell, use to start cc #2. Most customs you do should be #1 or #4. Also at lvl 2/3, blow threw fireballs and cc, pretty much a round winner. After any cc, sweep, if the tech roll you will hit them and get a free jag dp juggle.

Adon: lvl 1- c.rh xx hk dp x2

lvl 1- c.rh xx lk jag kick x2, hk dp

lvl 2- c.rh xx lk jag kick xN, hk dp

lvl 3- c.rh xx [hk jag kick, hk dp]x2

lvl 3- c.rh xx lk jag kick x4, mk jag kick, hk dp

lvl 3- c.mp xx lk jag kick x5, s.mp or s.lk in hk dp (must be standing)

Match-ups

Vs. Adon(mirror):

[Loading match-up info...]

Vs. Akuma: 4-6 Akuma's favor

[Loading match-up info...]

Vs. Birdie: 6-4 Adon's favor

You can anti-air him with any of your normal aa's (Rising Jaguar, df+mk, cr. hp (far), and just AC as well) and that will take a lot of his game away. Don't ever jaguar kick unless you want to die or you're absolutely sure you're far enough away to be safe. This match is basically just building meter and trying to outpoke each other, then land the CC.

Standing roundhouse and cr.mp are obviously tough for Birdie to deal with, but remember his cr.hp will AA just about anything.
