This list depicts thirteen (13) 6:4 matches in the opponent's favor, two (2) 6-4 maches in Adon's favor, and nineteen (19) 5:5 [even] matchups, sans the Adon mirror match (which is also 5:5). With roughly 38% of Adon's matches being in the opponent's favor, Adon players must spend massive amounts of time and resources learning each individual matchup.

VS Fireball Characters

          Generally speaking most fireball characters will attempt to zone you with projectiles. Adon's Ultra 1 (Jaguar Revolver) is designed to work against these types of characters, and works well can be control steered as well.

VS Non Fireball Characters

           To be Added.

VS Grapplers

          Any grappler will be the bane of your existance. Jaguar Tooth is unsafe (-2 frames on hit) and can be retaliated against by with a command throw (Zangief/T.Hawk). Your general goal here should be strong footsie games utilizing Adon's s.mk, s.fp, s.rh, and c.mp. His backdash also seems to be important in setting up the proper distance to keep your opponent out. Spacing for these matchups is the overall key to victory.
