Adam...doesn't really take hits. He blocks them with his sword and absorbs the energy behind them more like, before unleashing that stored energy (I'mma call it kinetic) as one slice for a super attack.

This makes him different from Yang, as she is specifically getting stronger, which as a result makes her hits harder, whereas Adam is hitting harder due to unleashing the stored kinetic energy but he himself is not actually stronger.
