Compared to the other fighters, Adon is shown to have a very great ego and is quite cocky, as well as boastful of his abilities. He tends to underestimate certain fighters, such as [[Ryu]]. He is often seen smiling and is truly arrogant, desiring to be seen as the "god" of Muay Thai.

−
Adon is well built and lean with broad shoulders and a muscular back. While shorter than Sagat by quite a bit, he is still fairly tall. His hair, like [[Guile|Guile's]], is done up in a flat-top sort of style, though Adon's is elongated and angled a bit. His eyes are fierce, and he nearly always has a conniving, wild smile on his face, reflective of his personality.

Adon wears trunks resembling his former mentor's, though the stripe pattern on his trunks forms a V shape while Sagat's simply have two stripes running down the legs. Adon also wears wraps on his hands and feet like Sagat, though his are smaller than his master's due to his smaller size. Unlike Sagat, who apparently did away with his ceremonial Muay Thai gear, Adon wears the traditional mongkhon and pra jiad worn by Muay Thai fighters.

Adon challenges [[Sagat]] for the title and defeats him. After Adon's victory, [[M. Bison]] who was watching tries to recruit Adon into [[Shadaloo]]. Adon rejects his offer and challenges him but the player doesn't get to see who wins the fight. This is likely non-canon as Adon didn't defeat Sagat until the events of ''Street Fighter Alpha 2''.

Adon fights with a more dynamic and acrobatic form of Muay Thai, allowing him to deliver ranged attacks effectively. Adon's special moves are generally fast-moving strikes that are counter-able if missed, requiring players to sufficiently confuse foes before overwhelming them with speed.
