Greetings! And welcome to the first People's FAQ! Why? Because
this was created by you…THE FANS. A lot of research, practice, and
waiting went into this FAQ, even though I've only had the game since
its release. I've followed the SF series since 1991, when the SF2
series officially began. I played a lot of E.Honda, but I got my butt
kicked a lot by either a good human player using Guile or Ryu, or the
CPU M.Bison. So, someone taught me Ryu & Ken, and I've beaten every
single version since (Except the SF3 series, which has yet to reach my
neck of the woods, which is Gainesville, FL.). I do enjoy the series,
especially SFA3, so I'm creating this series to show my appreciation
for the game. Now, on to the FAQ.
This first FAQ will focus on Adon, the Muay Thai kickboxer. He's
Sagat's ex-pupil, but he chose to use a different path to his fighting,
using the Jaguar style instead of Sagat's Tiger style.

Each move list is divided into these sections: Their opening
story line, colors, ground and air throws, special moves and command
attacks, and then Super Combos and Level 3 Super Combos. If I don't
have the official Capcom name for a move, the name is written in
lowercase, in parenthesis. To the far left of the move list, you may
see the letters X, A, or V. These letters indicate that the move is
available only when using X-ISM, A-ISM, or V-ISM. Afterwards is
information on each character's Alpha Counters and a list of cancelable
attacks (so you know what moves can be used in combos, etc.) Also,
there are some extra tidbits about some of the special moves listed.

ADON
Height : 182cm

He is Adon, the self proclaimed "God of Muay Thai".
After beating Sagat, his master, one thing has been on his mind.
Can Muay Thai stand against the power of the "Raging Demon"?

- In X-ISM, Adon's Jaguar Kicks are performed just like a normal jump
kick. Not only does the button used determine the strength and
angle of the Jaguar Kick, but whether you're jumping back, forward,
or straight up also affects the range of this move.
- The Jaguar Crunch is an overhead attack.
- In A-ISM, you can only use the Jaguar Thousand or Jaguar Assassin
if you perform the Jaguar Varied Assault at Level 3.
-(Corner) MP+MK VC -> (Low Short -> Low Forward -> Short Jaguar Kick) *
-(On the center of the screen) LP+LK VC -> Roundhouse Rising Jaguar ->
Short Jaguar Kick -> Roundhouse Jaguar Kick * @
-Opponent in corner, MP+MK VC, repeatedly does low MP, LK
Jaguar kick.
Strategy
I don't have much on strategy for Adon right now, but I do have
some things to work on. For example, you can use a well-timed Jaguar
Kick or a Jaguar Tooth to fly over a fireball and hit your enemy. Or,
you can use a Jaguar Knee to counter certain attacks, such as E.Honda's
Flying Headbutt or Blanka's Rolling Attacks (Vertical, Horizontal,
etc.) I'm not sure what the "invincibility" window is for his Jaguar
Varied Assault. If anyone knows, let me know.

Pre-Fight Animation vs. Sagat
Conditions: One character must be computer controlled.
Description: Adon and Sagat are close to each other, throwing kicks
which they both counter. Their final attacks cancel
out as if they had been Guard Crushed. Sagat does his
LP pose, while Adon stands triumphantly and yells, his
teeth gleaming while he gives a thumbs up.
Sayings:
STAGE FIVE vs. Ken
Ken: You are the worthy first pupil of Sagat, aren't you?
Adon: Shut up! He is no longer my master!
You studied with the one who has the "TEN" symbol upon his back?
I see... In that case, show me that technique!!
And after you defeat Ken…
Adon: You're overrated! You claim to be the "king of fighters"?! Ha!
That ultimate barrage attack... That's how I will identify him!
Then, I'll teach him that Muay Thai is truly invincible!
Stage 9 vs. Rose
Rose: People are obsessed with power, which in turn destroys people.
Can't you see it? Where your aspirations will lead you?
Adon: Ruin and destruction, right? I know full well what it is!
But Muay Thai's power is far beyond your comprehension!
Stage 10 vs. Shin M.Bison
Bison: You've changed. It's no surprise that your strength beat Sagat!
It seems... Well, it seems I underestimated you.
Adon: I don't need you. I'm just interested in "that power".
Bison: You want the secrets of the "Raging Demon" ...Right?
Adon: ..!! How could you know about that?
Bison: And what could you gain from such a pitifully weak move?
I'll show you true strength! The awesome might of Psycho
Power!
Adon's Ending
Bison's on the floor and Adon gloats over him. "I see... Is that
the best you can do Adon?" says Bison as he starts to float. "Hm hm
hm... Ha ha ha ha! No matter how many times I fall, my Psycho Power
will never die!". While Adon is shocked, Bison demonstrates the
strength of his Psycho Power by hitting Adon with a Psycho Crusher. As
Bison stands over Adon, he says "I fear nothing! Not even death!!". A
mysterious figure comes up behind Bison and did the Raging Demon on him
(gee I wonder who it is). After Bison is hurt by the R.D., he says
"Why?!! You... You cannot overcome my Psycho Power!!" Little does he
realize that his powers are already overcame. "What!?? Nooooooo!" and
Bison exploded into nothingness. Adon gets up and realizes that the man
who performed the Raging Demon on Bison was responsible. "Guh...
(gasp). It was the man bearing the "TEN" symbol, as I suspected. He
obliterated Bison's Psycho Power in one deadly moment... I must have
that power! For the new Muay Thai legend... I will!" We then see Adon
leave and Akuma, the "mysterious figure", perched on a cliff. Will Adon
ever get his shot at him? We may never know.
Personal Opinion:
Adon is a little less user-friendly than he is in Street Fighter
Alpha 2 simply because of his Jaguar Kick move (Reverse DP motion
instead of a fireball motion). I never got used to it in SFA1, but the
X-ISM version has potential, you just have to time it right. He does
have more of a Guard Meter and is harder to dizzy than any average
character, and that can help him out in close matches. One other
problem that evolves: He has too many predictable combos with his
Rising Jaguar, his Jaguar Kick (In V-ISM), and Jaguar Varied Assault,
and can be blocked very easily.
