-Intro:

s.MP whiff punishes Dudley t.HP. s.HK breaks focus. HK RJ Anti-air. Jump in HK is blocked, Fuzzy Guard nj.MK xx LK JK, c.MP xx LK RJ. IOH nj.HK(Dizzy). Level 3 Focus, cl.HP xx MK RJ FADC cl.HK (Reset), Dash under, c.LK, c.LK, c.MP xx EX Jaguar Tooth (Crosses up), U2.

-Basics:

Adon is an all around solid character who has good mobility and a great footsies game. Additionally, he can use a few tools to confuse his opponent or otherwise cause them to make mistakes he can capitalize from.

Pokes:
Adon has excellent pokes. His c.MP is arguably his most important poke, both by itself, and for its ability to combo into both Rising Jaguar and Super. His s.HK is his other important poke both for its great range and hitbox, but also because it prevents the opponent from focusing because it is two hits.

- c.MK
- s.MP
- s.HP

- c.HK

Anti-Air
Adon's main anti-air tool is HK Rising Jaguar. It's all he needs for almost any anti-air situaion due to its invincibility. For jumps out of HK RJ range, s.MK has good priority above his kicking leg, and c.HP has good priority out in front of his extended fist, though sometimes both will trade. nj.HP is another solid option for multiple ranges.

- c.HP
- nj.HP

-Basic Combos

Adon's combos are straightforward and basic. They always end in Rising Jaguar (or Super), and are either Shorts and Jabs hit confirmed, or a cl.HP for extra damage off punishes, or expected hits.
- c.LK, c.LK xx HK RJ
*Basic Hit confirm combo
Can cancel or link into HK RJ

- c.LK, c.LK, c.LK xx LK RJ
*Point Blank only
Character specific
Slightly more damage and stun (if both hits of RJ connect)
Easier hit confirm
Must cancel into LK RJ

- cl.HP, c.LP xx LK RJ
*Point Blank only
Hit confirm off cl.HP
Must cancel into LK RJ

- cl.HP xx HK RJ
*Punish combo
Max Damage
No meter

- c.LK, c.LK xx MK RJ FADC, MK RJ
*50% Meter
Max damage off hit confirm
Can cancel or link into MK RJ

- c.LK, c.LK xx MK RJ FADC cl.HK
*50% Meter
Max Stun off hit confirm
Can cancel or link into MK RJ

- c.LK, c.LK xx MK RJ FADC U2
*50% Meter
Hit confirm into U2
Can cancel or link into MK RJ


Jaguar Varied Assault
Adon often has a lot of meter because typically he only spends it on FADCing Rising Jaguars. Therefore, it is not rare to have opportunities to combo into his Super. Though Jabs and Shorts can be canceled into the Super, canceling from c.MP maximizes the damage.

- c.LK c.LK c.MP xx Super
- AJK c.MP xx Super

Additionally, Adon can buffer Super on a whiffed c.MP. c.MP is a solid punch that will counter-poke opponents often. When Adon has Super, the potential damage off a buffered c.MP makes his strong footsies game even stronger.

- c.MP buffered into Super

Jaguar Varied Assault Enders
In most situations that Adon combos into Super, the Punch ender (Thousand Jaguar) deals slightly more damage (assuming the player gets all the punches). However, if 4 or more hits are done before canceling into Super, the damage scaling causes the Kick ender (Assassin Jaguar) to do the most damage, because it is less hits overall. Remember that Focus Attacks count for 2 hits for scaling purposes.

- c.LK c.LK c.MP xx Super -> K Ender (358 Damage)
- c.LK c.LK c.MP xx Super -> P Ender (359 Damage)
- j.MK c.LK c.LK c.MP xx Super -> K Ender (391 Damage)
- j.MK c.LK c.LK c.MP xx Super -> P Ender (394 Damage)

EX Jaguar Kick
Besides having limited tracking, being an overhead, and knocking down, EX Jaguar Kick also has some projectile invincibility, allowing it to punish fireballs on reaction.

- Fireball punish

If an EX Jaguar Kick hits an opponent in midair with only the first hit, the opponent can be juggled afterwards. The simplest follow-up is s.HK, but a Rising Jaguar will give a knockdown. Using LK or MK RJ gives less damage, while HK or EX gives more but requires Adon to be closer. It is also possible to juggle into U2 if Adon is close enough.

- 1 hit Air EX JK, s.HK
- 1 hit Air EX JK, HK RJ
- 1 hit Air EX JK, U2

Air Jaguar Kick
Adon can perform a Jaguar Kick at any time during a neutral or forward jump. This changes their normal trajectories as compared to the ground, but they no longer break armor. However, the altered trajectory can be used to Adon's advantage in multiple ways.

- Punishing fireballs
- Baiting Anti-airs
*Risky, Usefulness is character specific

The biggest advantage Air Jaguar Kicks have is that they give enough frame advantage on hit that Adon can combo off them if he's close enough.

- AJK, c.MP xx LK RJ
- AJK, c.MP xx LK RJ, LK RJ
*Corner only, Character Specific

Instant Air Jaguar Kicks

By performing an Air Jaguar Kick as low to the ground as possible, Adon can perform a Jaguar Kick with the speed of a normal JK, but the properties of an AJK (including frame advantage). These Instant Air Jaguar Kicks (IAJKs) are one of Adon's most versatile tools, and can be used as anything from a poke to a throw bait.

- As a poke (c.LK, c.LK, c.MP, IAJK block string)
- c.LK, IAJK throw bait

There are two methods for inputting an Air Jaguar Kick (AJK) as low to the ground as possible.
1) QCB, Up (or Up-Forward), Kick.
2) Up (or Up-Forward), QCB, Kick.
The first method is more strict to execute, but gives a more consistently timed and spaced AJK. Conversely, the second method is less strict, which allows more control over the timing and spacing.

- (Inputs) Down, Down-Back, Back, Up (or Up-Forward), LK/MK/HK.
- (Inputs) Up (or Up-Forward), Down, Down-Back, Back, LK/MK/HK.

Instant Overheads
Adon has the ability to overhead most opponents by performing an instant nj.HK. Normally, this is only useful to finish off an opponent, because it is easily punishable even on hit.

- nj.HK against crouching Ryu

Fuzzy Guard
When the opponent blocks an attack high and then switches to a low guard, although they are blocking low, the game does not change the size of their hittable box from standing to crouching until the block stun ends. This means they can still be hit with attacks that would normally whiff on a crouching opponent.

- (with inputs) j.HK (blocked highed), instant nj.MK (attempted to be blocked low)

So although an instant nj.MK normally whiffs on almost every character, using a Fuzzy Guard allows it to hit on almost every character. Canceling the instant nj.MK into a Jaguar Kick wont combo on most characters, but it will make it significantly harder to punish. On the characters it combos on, this is an extremely effective way of dealing solid damage.

Mixup
Although Adon is a very capable poking and footsies character, with his unique short jump arc he can create an ambiguous jump in from a Back Throw, or LK Rising Jaguar. From these knockdowns, he can apply a fairly strong mixup using the standard options of overheads and throws combined with the Fuzzy Guard technique.

- Backthrow to:
1) j.HK, c.LK
2) j.HK, fuzzy nj.MK
3) empty jump c.LK
4) crossup j.MK, c.LK
5) Fake crossup c.LK
