Muay Thai (Thai มวยไทย, IPA /muai32 tʰai32/) (Thai Boxing) is the Thai name for an indigenous form of martial art practiced in several southeast Asian countries including Cambodia (where it is known as Pradal Serey) and Myanmar where it is generally known as Lethwei. ...

Story

Adon became Sagat's student three years after Sagat became God of Muay Thai. Frequently likened to a "lesser version of Sagat", even though he strived to differentiate himself with more acrobatic techniques, Adon entered the first World Warrior tournament to prove he was more than that. The cocky Adon let his guard down when he faced Ryu, who took him out with a single Shoryuken. Sagat Sagat is a boss character from the early editions of Capcoms Street Fighter fighting game series. ...

Adon was not mad at Ryu for defeating him and Sagat, he was mad at Sagat for being unable to uphold Muay Thai's honor (conveniently forgetting how Ryu had bested him during the World Warrior tournament). He challenged Sagat for the title of God of Muay Thai and won, but the enraged Sagat had done so much damage to him in the fight that Adon had to be hospitalized for months.

When he was on his feet again, Adon heard that a mysterious fighter had killed one of his challengers, using the same power that Ryu had used to defeat Sagat. Adon swore to find the stranger and take this power for his own. To this day, it is believed that Adon still seeks him out.

Appearance

in Street Fighter, Adon has rounded facial features and short spiky hair, and in the Street Fighter Alpha series (seen above), he was re-drawn to be more angular, with a hawk-like face and a flat pointed haircut.

He wears boxing trunks, sacred bands around his arms and head, and tape around his fists and feet. The sacred bands are indicative of a traditional Muay Thai fighter. Sagat wears similiar attire in the anime series Street Fighter II V. Back to Animation Anime (アニメ) is a style of cartoon animation originating in Japan. ...

In the UDON comic, he also wears a ragged cloak, but this garment was most likely used for dramatic flair.

Adon is tall and lanky with broad shoulders and a muscular back, allowing him to deliver ranged attacks effectively.

Adon's special moves are generally fast-moving strikes that are counterable if missed. Therefore a viable Adon player ideally confuses the opponent and overwhelms with speed.

Techniques

The Jaguar Kick allows Adon to leap over projectile attacks to strike his opponent. The Rising Jaguar is a double knee thrust capable of intercepting airbore attackers at a low angle, and passing though projectile attacks. The Jaguar Tooth, Adon's most versitile special move, allows Adon to leap off the edge of the screen to either strike his opponent, or surprise them by landing early and delivering an alternate attack.

Adon has the distinction of being perhaps the only character in Street Fighter history with a special move activated by a single press of a single button. When using X-ism Adon in Street Fighter Alpha 3, pressing any kick button while jumping will execute his trademark Jaguar Kick. However, this version of the Jaguar Kick does not inflict block damage, unlike the technique's incarnations in other fighting modes.

Trivia

• In the original Street Fighter, Adon is the first character whose stage (Thailand) was unselectable from the start of the game, and therefore was regarded as the penultimate boss. The player can only fight the final boss, Sagat after defeating Adon.
