Story

Adon became Sagat's student three years after Sagat became God of Muay Thai. Although Adon developed acrobatic techniques that set him apart from his master, he could not escape his reputation as a "lesser version of Sagat." He entered into the first World Warrior tournament to prove that he was every bit as great a fighter as Sagat. His confidence would be his downfall, as he fell to a single "Shoryuken," delivered by Ryu. Ryu would eventually go on to defeat Sagat in a fight that scarred Sagat's chest and Adon's soul. ‹ The template below (Vg-in-universe) has been proposed for deletion. ...

Adon became obsessed with Sagat's loss, for he viewed his master's defeat as an offense to Muay Thai's honor. He challenged Sagat to single combat and won, though Sagat inflicted many terrible wounds on his former student.


Adon's injuries would eventually heal and a new fighter would captivate his attention. Rumor had reached his ears of a fighter who had mastered the power that had enabled Ryu to win the first World Warrior Tournament. Adon swore to find this mysterious fighter and claim the power as his own. This article or section contains a plot summary that is overlong. ...


Little more is known of Adon, but it may be that the brash young warrior found his prey. The same arrogance that led Adon to challenge Sagat may have sealed his fate, for Akuma does not take challenges lightly . . .


Gameplay

Adon is tall and lanky with broad shoulders and a muscular back, allowing him to deliver ranged attacks effectively. The range of his normal attacks was increased significantly between Street Fighter Alpha and Street Fighter Alpha 3. 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 versatile 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. These techniques are all highly effective at countering projectile-users, so they give him a slight edge against characters such as Ryu and Ken.


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 (or every other non-grapple special move, for that matter).
