I’m trying to learn rising jagga FADC U2. Which RJ is it convention to use? Lk? Hk? Does it matter? Is it entirely situational?
From personal experience I would say it does matter and its pretty situational.
For max damage you will want to use mk. It does the highest damage on the first hit. 90, as opposed to 50 from the others.
However hk has 6f of full body invincibility. While lk and mk have lower and upper respectively.
I would say always try and use mk.rj for max damage combos.eg. st.hp xx mk.rj FADC u2
lk.rj should be used if you are worried about dropping combos as it is 1f faster and travels more horizontal.
hk.rj as an AA (though I have had people tell me to use mk.rj, however I cant bring myself to adapt haha)
If you want to do a rj FADC after say a jk. I would say hk unless you ‘know’ they will attack low or high and use one of the others.
hope some of this helps. if I got something wrong feel free to correct me.
I wouldn’t worry about the 1 fr as if its canceled it shouldn’t matter; rather use LK for the range during a hit confirmed combo.
Personally I use each based on the situation and dont worry too much about using one over the other for damage reasons alone
this is true. I pretty much always use the lk for combos unless i KNOW im gonna hit with mk. The only time i use hk in combos is from close st.hp.
Does anybody go for a combo after his jaguar crunch? I know you can cr. lk afterwards into a jab but is that really viable? Especially when the timing is extremely tricky
I usually try for a jab against big characters or cr.lk. However I always either follow up with cr.mp xx mk.jk or hk.jk.
I find it impossible to hitconfirm.
Tbh ive sort of limited my use of crunch its so damn slow.
ah i see in that case what are you doing on opponent’s wake up? I’ll normally go for a cross up into bnb or cross up nj into a cr. short/throw, and from time to time a meaty overhead. Is there any other good meaty set ups Adon has? I just picked him up a couple weeks ago and I really like his tools.
Sent you a pm so I dont clog this up. 
I dont suppose there is an Adon tutorial out there like this one for Ibuki? [media=youtube]Pfcbl0v2CX8[/media]
It really helps me just to see stuff and have it broken down and explained to me on account of the brain damage (former Ken player). Anything even close? I’ve tried watching match videos, which has given me a pretty good idea of what normals are good for different situations, what punishes what, etc. What I need is for someone to break down a gameplan for me, explain my options for different situations, and that whole thing.
Anything like that/the above link circulating the Internet? I feel like I’ve looked everywhere.
Um… not that im aware of and I have seen alot of Adon videos.
Guess the closest that comes to it is [media=youtube]en0USfKWGV0[/media] the Option select presents Adon.
I know a guy called Breslinabrb or something was starting one, or something like that, but I believe he swapped to main marvel.
This is actually exactly what I was looking for.
…Or at least as close as I could have reasonably asked for. Thank you very much!
no problem you are welcome
Who are some characters that can cover Adon’s bad matchups??
Is it already known that Adon ultra 2 crosses up in some instances? I was doing some testing with Cammy and found out if I’m point blank and crouch-blocking, then Jaguar Avalanche hits me as a crossup. I haven’t tested with any other characters.

hmm did not know that!
thanks for the info regarding that.
@ the point about characters who cover his badmatch ups. I guess anyone who is good with Zoning. Akuma? maybe Guile? Most of Adons bad match ups are against high health characters or those like Cammy with amazing rushdown? maybe someone who knows more about his bad match ups can comment.
Akuma and Sagat are good against T.Hawk, Zangief, Cody and E.Honda, and I think Balrog and M.Bison are easier for them than for Adon, but Sagat is not good against Akuma and mirror is random most of the time, Cammy may be a good choice against Akuma but use four characters is not really easy.
Finally Sagat seems to be the best counter pick but his playstyle is the opposite of Adon.
Quick questions, What is the advantage of using an instant air jaguar kick over a regular jaguar kick? And also what are the precise motions i need to do instant air jaguar kick?
Advantages:
can combo from it. faster. can change timing, extend jump arc, bait stuff. faster recovery
Disadvantages:
doesnt break armour, less damage.
think thats pretty much it…
motions depend on the method you wish to use.
uf, d, db, b + kick. or 9 2 1 4 +kick on numpad.
if you tk the motion. you do d, db, b, uf then kick. I cant do this motion properly though.
About the disadvantages I will not say less damage because you can combo after most of the time but I would add, “it’s not a real move and you can miss it”, there is nothing more annoying to do a jaguar tooth (hk) or a forward jump instead of iajk.
yeah good point.
Also hk iajk hitbox is ASS!!!
