Glad to hear you did well. recently I’ve been using Bison alot to get him fully sharpened for evo. I’ve only been pulling adon out in grand finals when I have a chance to come back with Bison in case I lose lol Last tournament, I got sent to losers using Bison against someone’s guy/honda. I made it to grand finals and played them again using Adon and 3-0’d them the first set. I hate that even if you crouch, rh rj some times loses to hondas jumpin strong and fierce. Guy, however, Can never elbow drop adon crouching. That match up is sooo in Adon’s favor. Just make sure you punish every slide.
For akuma, “just blocking” would mean I stop playing footsies entierly. That kinda doesn’t seem like the right thing to do. The problem with far HK is that the risk reward is too much in akuma’s favor. If he hits it, great he does a combo. You block it and you’re in neutral position (and akuma can mixup well). You beat it, you got a poke at best. It’s fast, has good priority and great damage. Not being able to duck under the second hit really hurts adon.
For rufus, I’m aware I can block stuff, but I’d rather punish TBH. I’d also like to undrerstand why he’s beating moves that are invincible with that flipkick while I cannot reproduce that when I try. Maybe I’ll ask the rufus forums.
I miss playing Chun-Li and having Akuma’s far :hk: whiff on second hit. Now I actually have to counter it, lol.
Anyways, probably the best way to punish that (and all other committed ground approaches) with a big combo would be, through anticipation, n.jump :hk:, cl.:mk: xx RJ. Or if you’re too far, n.jump :hk:, c.:hk:. Standing Fierce works great to stuff it out too.
I have to agree with Kelso. If they’re delaying their flip kick, just block it. However they can choose to do nothing and just grab you. So in essence, it’s a true 50-50, unless you have a teleport or something (which you don’t). Maybe U2 can go through delayed flip kick?
But yeah, it’s an old SF4 trick that Rufus players usually do on Shotos, from what I’ve heard. It’s stupid… but so is everything else Rufus does.
Yeah I guess neutral j.HK would be the best way to make people think twice about whoring far HK. You get a combo at least. Thanks.
The problem was mostly that even if I beat it a couple times with stand MK or something else, eventually he hits it and makes up the damage.
The rufus thing is weird. So he has invincibility on his flipkick and delays it JUST enough to beat my stuff? Damn.
adon’s standing roundhouse reaches farther than akuma’s and trades in adon’s favor. If he’s close enough do to standing hk and you’re just blocking or standing there, you’re doing it wrong.
Forward dash ducks Akumas roundhouse. Meaning you can focus one hit and forward dash under the second. (unless they have demon)
boy do i love getting throw out of a rising jaguar…
As posted multiple times you cannot get thrown out of HK and EX RJ. You CAN get thrown out of LK and MK rising jaguar all the beggining of startup. In fact you WILL get thrown out of it as its slower than throws.
I hope one day someone makes a super thread containing all the infos, bnbs etc.
fyi if ya’ll didn’t already figure this out by feel, Adon jumps at the same speed as Blanka, which before super was the second fastest jump speed in the game (Gen was the fastest). Or another way of putting it, he spends the same amount of time in the air as Blanka, which is slightly less than most characters.
God I suck at everyone except adon now. He ruined my game. I get annoyed by having to actually deal with crossups or fireballs, not having great answers for crouch teching, not having all purpose 100% antiair, having bad neutral jump moves, having shoryukens that go to the wrong side all the time (fuck you akuma) non-god tier crossups that whiff easily, having no reversal, or something else. It’s always something. Adon is really well rounded. I think he would be tops if he had 1000 health. You can really feel it sometimes when you haven’t made too many mistakes but you are like “where the fuck did my life go?”. It’s too bad he’s so unpopular. People pretty much use me to get their adon matchup practice haha.
well its bound to happen if you play too much of one char, but thats a good thing. helps realize how good your char is, just like you did lol.
is anyone else having a hard time fighting sakura? her c.fierce stops my jaguar kicks clean and her roundhouse is faster than adons. shes a small character so im whiffing combos that normally don’t whiff. it feels like a bad match up to be honest. i dont think theres anything adon can capitalize on.
with that in mind, it seems like adons good matches are with ALL the large characters(abel, dudley,sagat, ect.) since he can land certain combos on them. anyone else agree?
the sakura matchup is pretty straight forward. you have a poking range advantage, and his standing mk reaches about as far if not equally as far as her standing roundhouse and it’s faster. you just have to keep your range and don’t let her jump in. also sakura can’t do a whole lot against cross ups or neutral jumps right in her face, so abuse them.
of topic of this thread but does anyone live by boynton beach florida there is an arcade there and wanted to see if someone would start a street fighter tort. kinda random i know and yes i know there are area threads but im just asking
Who were you using? I’m pretty sure most characters have at least one of these things.
NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I had to move to bfe and now i have to use satellite internet and it blows!! any suggestions on how to keep my skill intact offline??? Please help gents!!
Well if you cant play offline against other players, go to training mode and sharpen your execution. 8)
thanks for the info man. learned that cr. mk works really well.
we need to get some mirrors again!
what’s j.ml crossup?
“make good use of adons j.ml crossup in this matchup, it seems to stuff out the Flash Kick”
i think he just typoed j.mk
(l is next to k on a keyboard)
VS - T.Hawk
I’ve got a friend, he mostly plays offline but has an excellent T.Hawk, after a few matches I think I’ve got it sussed out.
Here are a couple of videos on the matchup;

You’ll notice that I just stop doing anything except HK at range and jumping Jaguar Kick, everything else Adon has can be punished with a lp 360 on block, it’s pretty frustrating, but keeping the distance, building up the bar with lk.tooth and IAJK’s is essential.
Makes the matchup much more manageable, its exactly the same for Gief.
