adon_vs_sagat_ssf4

My eyes are virtually bleeding because I think I'm seeing a lot of Adon usage lately. Everyone's using Adon. Jaguar kick times 50! Over and over and over.

I'm wondering about Adon usage. In my database last month, he had the best winning percentage with almost nobody using him. Now he's in the middle of the field, and you can't watch a broadcast without it seems like three people using him, and two of the three doing average-to-bad.

Here's what I have in my database since Evolution up until last weekend, comparing Adon to the top three used characters, Ryu, Dhalsim and Dictator.

Character Usage % Win % Comeback %
Adon .029 .413 .032
Dhalsim (1) .105 .570 .167
Ryu (2) .091 .486 .282
Dictator (3) .067 .504 .155

I don't think I'm going crazy yet. Adon is far from being overused on all these streamed tournaments. However, a lot of people will have to use him in order to get back to top status as the winningest character. Let's see how the stats of Summer Jam affect this comparison.

Are you seeing a lot of Adon usage lately in tournaments you attend?
