Adon AE changes for 2012 Edition

Yeah, I’m way better with the other direction, too. Or I should say I was lol.

I was always an avid user of instant air jaguar kick, sometimes I just neutral jump and press nothing to bait something. If you can’t air jaguar kick for pressure I wouldn’t even bother with the character since you can get opened up waaay to easy if you get predictable.

My favourite is max range iajk into low hk. It’s hard to pull but so freaking rewarding, haha.

yeah its awesome when it comes out :smiley:

I love to use HK JK than any other JK, especially when you know someone will jump if they’re too far away from you. In some situations don’t you feel that you would want U1 instead of U2 for pure damage? I do lol.

Less push back on cl.mp seems interesting, wonder if that means we can cl.mp, cr.mk xx hk.rj and get both hits.

All in all, Adon is basically the same as AE. Can punish a little better and people will push buttons as little more often, other characters changes are going to have more impact than any of Adons.

anyone else heard a rumour about Adon having a faster wake up in 2012?
I dont know if this is 100% true but if so thats pretty good. Anyone watch the IPW ae 2012 stream this past weekend?

Also Seth Killian said some changes are not listed. I for one am wishful for a rj horizontal range ninja buff but really wishful for no ninja nerfs.

Whatever happens, keep the negative attitude, you know the nerf hammer hits when you least expect it too.

haha yes it does. I am trying not to get my hopes up too much…
Luckily after watching Long play this past weekend it doesnt seem Adon is gonna be much worse off anyway.

Video?

Where’d you hear that? If it’s true, I blame my relentless tweets to Ono… =D Doubt it, though!

Does anyone think the changes to RJ (not crossing up) will change the timing for FADC>U2? I’ve mastered doing it super late (as I’m sure we all have in case you’re in the corner) to the point where I end up messing it up with any other chars I use because they usually need to follow up sooner. I’m sure it’s not a big issue either way, but something I was thinking about…

I cant provide a video. I wont name my source (incase he is wrong and gets stick haha) but he said someone on the IPW ae2012 stream said they felt the wake up was faster than ae but slower than super…
Now I watched the stream and didnt hear it, but I wasnt paying 100% attention, thats why I asked if anyone else has?

Either way the stream has a good chunk of Adon play at the start.

http://www.twitch.tv/iplaywinner/b/301653552 <— stream archive, its pretty long

I had thought that myself Tiers. I hope thats not the case, I have gotten used to delaying inputs with Adon, 1 for the mk.rj follow up to get 2 hits and 2 for ultra as you say!

Thanks for the video.

Adon seems to be the same, just with a better saving attack wich be really usefull against slides and a rising jaguar slightly different, finally the jaguar kick doesn’t seems to become shit suddenly with the nerf, the 10 damage lost will be prejudicial of course.

The wake up seems to be the same but I found his sweep slightly faster, maybe it’s just my imagination because it’s the hidden buff I expect.

heh I cant tell the difference, as I say its just a rumour I heard.

I hope sweep is faster :slight_smile: I love sweeping!!!

I agree on the jk nerf. but it may take a short time for people to become accustomed to being able to pwn it? :stuck_out_tongue:

what do you mean by saving attack? focus?

Oh and did you guys notice that LPN used close st.mp more?

I found a video with something strange, the medium jaguar kick did a double touch with Yang ultra I did in reflex, I tried in AE and this ultra beats clearly the jaguar kick.

It happens at 1m55.

I would assume thats more a Yang nerf than an Adon buff, though if that ultra is projectile based then the new hitbox being invincible to that may help?
Either way its interesting.
Also double touch = trade?

Wast this possible in AE?

lk.RJ -> FADC -> Ex Jaguar Kick?

cause it is now

uh you mean instant right? either way you could do it in super

not TK, just regular ground EX Jaguar Kick. I’ve never been able to do it before. (mind you i havent really played the game at all since the week AE even released)

cr.lk cr.lp -> lk.RJ -> fadc -> ground EX Jaguar kick

ground ex.jk was either too slow or just went too far? ive never landed it at least.
Is ex.jk a hard kd? if so woo :slight_smile:

nice find!

ps. ill test when i get home!

Like some random times in the lab I was able to hit the ground ex jag kick but idk tbh. I’ll try it out later on today when I’m actually awake lol
