==Overview==
===Burning Knuckle===
{{SSBU|Terry}} does a star pose of sorts before lunging forward with his fist, performing [[Burning Knuckle]]. This move has four variations, each with [[Command Input Special Moves|command]] and non-command versions, each with differing [[damage]] and [[knockback]]. Burning Knuckle can be inputted with '''↓ ↘ → + Attack/Special'''.

Burning Knuckle is one of Terry's best moves, acting as his primary burst option. The frame data on Burning Knuckle varies depending on how it's used. If grounded, the move is frame 15 tapped, frame 21 held. If aerial, it's frame 14 tapped, frame 18 held, making it a bit faster in the air in a vacuum. It also has quite a bit of hitbox activity, being active for around 15 frames as a general rule. When inputted with a command, his fist becomes [[intangible]]. This gives him an enormous [[disjoint]]ed attack that punishes many approaches, particularly those from swordfighters. Considering its speed in the air, it can even be considered a lynchpin in those matchups, anti-airing almost anything with ample flexibility. 

It's no understatement to claim that Burning Knuckle is extremely strong and easy to confirm, [[KO]]ing foes reasonably early, even with a tapped version. {{mvsub|Terry|SSBU|Forward tilt}} can confirm Burning Knuckle prior to [[tumble]], which can be confirmed by {{mvsub|Terry|SSBU|forward aerial}} or {{mvsub|Terry|SSBU|neutral aerial}} prior. Even at the centre of [[Final Destination]], a command tapped Burning Knuckle will KO {{SSBU|Mario}} at around 135%. This can be improved with {{mvsub|Terry|SSBU|down tilt}}, confirming Burning Knuckle at around 100% for most characters<ref>https://twitter.com/azaleaGX/status/1193861797314322432 DTilt → cw.BK True%s, Japanese</ref>, which is usually a kill confirm at the ledge. Neutral aerial can similarly do this, with the early hit confirming the move [[out of shield]], and chaining into the late hit for the same confirm at higher [[percentage]]s, again confirming a KO. [[Command Input Special Moves#Negative edge|Negative edge]] can heavily support all of these confirms, always ensuring a weak Burning Knuckle comes out. 

The [[shield]] pressure Burning Knuckle can dish out makes it fit for multiple purposes. Out of forward tilt's +11 shield advantage on special cancel, a tapped Burning Knuckle can be buffered to cover every [[out of shield]] option in the game, even [[Fire]] and jumps. Additionally, a strong version can be used after two forward tilts to inflict a [[shield break]], allowing for what should be a stock-taking [[combo]]. A command-inputted, aerial tapped Burning Knuckle is reasonably safe on shield as well, being -12 at worst; if hit on the last available frame and used with Tiger Knee, it's -6, allowing Terry to [[spot dodge]] or {{mvsub|Terry|SSBU|neutral attack}} out of shield options. 

Burning Knuckle will stop at the ledge unless inputted close by, which can be used as a niche [[edgeguarding]] option against opponents that have issues [[edge sweetspot|sweetspotting]] the ledge. However, using [[Command Input Special Moves#Tiger Knee|Tiger Knee]], Terry can also go past the ledge to attack horizontal edgeguards, often taking the stock. This gives Terry incredible flexibility if going directly offstage isn't favourable, making it very difficult to get back. Furthermore, if going offstage, Burning Knuckle is a very powerful tool, going directly towards an opponent with a strong hitbox. Very few characters can make it back against Burning Knuckle if they've already burned a jump, with the only restriction on Terry's end being his recovery. 

At the same time as being a good edgeguarding tool, Burning Knuckle is a crucial recovery option, sharing the same slot with Crack Shoot, meaning one cannot be used if the other has already. Burning Knuckle is often the safer option if inputted with a command, as the intangibility is often sufficient to contest edgeguard attempts. Inputting downwards to charge [[Rising Tackle]] is recommended to prevent a [[fast fall]] while also getting to use the command version, which has superior intangibility, KO power, and distance. 

Burning Knuckle has some minor flaws, the main one being that it's quite committal and easy to out-frame up-close. This makes it very punishable on whiff in most instances, with only the tapped versions being remotely safe. Ergo, Crack Shoot is often the better option in [[neutral game|neutral]] for its less committal nature. The strong version can also be an inconvenience outside of a hard punish, often hampering combos due to its worse startup, though this is only in specific cases. 

===Crack Shoot===
[[File:TKPDCombo.gif|thumb|300px|{{sm|Ronin X}} using Tiger Knee Power Dunk to start a combo, which involves using a weak Crack Shoot to drag Ken down.]]
Terry does a spinning heel kick, performing [[Crack Shoot]]. Unlike Burning Knuckle's more diverse selection of hitboxes, Crack Shoot only has two variations hitbox-wise, and the command version only increases [[shield damage]]. Crack Shoot can be inputted with '''↓↙← + Attack/Special'''.

Crack Shoot is Terry's premier anti-air and anti-projectile option, with its massive hitbox making it difficult for aerial opponents to contest. Its launch angle also puts opponents in very awkward positions, making it excellent for [[juggling]] opponents and keeping them at a disadvantage, especially with Tiger Knee involved. Thanks to this, Crack Shoot can be seen as an approach option. If inputted with a command, the shield damage of Crack Shoot drastically increases, with the second hit's foot hitbox gaining a whole 20 [[HP]] in shield damage. This makes Crack Shoot a surprisingly strong option for breaking shields alongside [[Power Wave]]. This makes it an even stronger approach option, making opponents with damaged shields significantly less inclined to defend against it, lest they lose a stock.

There is some minor combo utility in Crack Shoot if the second hit connects later, which adds credence to its approach utility. This often leads to {{mvsub|Terry|SSBU|up aerial}} and a subsequent charged [[Rising Tackle]]. It's also possible to set up [[tech]] situations on platforms at some [[percentage]]s, which can situationally be followed up. However, if Crack Shoot connects up close, its combo utility is negligible at best. Connecting into Crack Shoot is fairly easy, with {{mvsub|Terry|SSBU|forward tilt}} having a particularly large percentage range in comparison to Burning Knuckle. 

Crack Shoot's first hit sends at a [[semi-spike]] angle, intended to lead into the second hit. However, as is the case with most multi-hit attacks, there are situations where this doesn't happen. In reference to Crack Shoot, this often happens out of {{mvsub|Terry|SSBU|up tilt}}, though it's character-specific and at around 50-70%. If it does happen, opponents often suffer quite a bit of [[hitstun]], allowing for [[combo]]s and mixups. It's also possible for a Crack Shoot semi-spike to happen on platforms, though this is rare and doesn't often lead to much. Since up tilt is a common method of confirming Crack Shoot, it's good practice to simply react to semi-spikes appropriately when they occur rather than actively fish for them. 

As a recovery option, Crack Shoot doesn't differ much from Burning Knuckle, though the arc makes it much better at contesting edgeguard attempts from above. As with Burning Knuckle, holding down during Crack Shoot is recommended to charge Rising Tackle for a better shot at recovering.
