Editing Terry (SSBU)

'''Terry''' ({{ja|テリー|Terī}}, ''Terry'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' and the first and only fighter from [[SNK]]. He was officially announced in the September 4th, 2019 Nintendo Direct as the fourth [[Downloadable content (SSBU)|downloadable]] character from {{h2|Downloadable content (SSBU)|Fighters Pass Vol. 1}}. Terry was released as part of Challenger Pack 4 on November 6th, 2019 and is classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #74]].

Despite having a strong grounded neutral game, it is largely centered around baiting the opponent to approach and reading their habits to lead into combo extensions. As such, Terry doesn't possess many good pokes outside of down tilt. Given his average ground speed and poor air speed, Terry's aerial approaches are fairly weak unless he starts close to his target. Though Terry's inputs are a bit more lenient in comparison to the other traditional fighting game characters, it can nonetheless take time to master his inputs to their full potential, giving him a relatively high learning curve overall. The [[Super Special Move]]s are of particular note: they are accessible only when his damage is at 100% or his hit points are 30% or lower in Stamina Mode, and they both have considerable ending lag to compensate for their astounding power. As a result, Terry's playstyle can change drastically when the Super Specials come into play. Improper inputs can also result in failing to perform what would otherwise be a KO confirm (such as with Power Dunk), or even an unintentional [[self-destruct]] (such as with Burning Knuckle/Crack Shoot). As such, it is crucial to get the hang of inputting moves correctly and at the right time in order to avoid inadvertently putting Terry in a very disadvantageous situation.

Overall, Terry is a melee-focused and "footsies"-oriented heavyweight character with immense combo, damage, and KO options in all areas. His ability to apply dangerous shield pressure or cross-up shielding opponents is incredibly useful when executed at the right times. The Super Special Moves can also give Terry the mental edge over opponents, as any ill-managed approach on the opponent's end can be called out by extremely hard punishes. Due to being a heavyweight, he is very hard to KO without a proper edge-guard, making him more dangerous the longer he holds onto his stock and allowing him to keep his Super Special Moves active for extended periods of time. However, his poor disadvantage state and mediocre off-stage endurance means players need to be mindful of every off-stage option, as Terry can be KO'd easily to an off-stage gimp, and despite his powerful neutral, many of his most effective moves leave him vulnerable, meaning the player must make calculated decisions with which attacks to throw out in pressure situations.

Terry received a very small buff in update 8.0.0, which altered [[Triple Wolf]]'s knockback to the point of strengthening it slightly. Prior to this, update 6.1.0 fixed a glitch that would cause him and the [[Ice Climbers (SSBU)|partner Ice Climber]] to both become frozen after Terry performs [[Buster Wolf]].

*Terry always faces his opponent when only one is left standing, counting teammates as opponents if [[Team Attack]] is on.

*When Terry is at 100% in Time Battles or Stock Battles, or has 30% or less of his maximum HP in a Stamina Battle, he will be able to perform [[Super Special Move]]s ([[Power Geyser]] and [[Buster Wolf]]). This is indicated with a "GO" icon next to his fighter portrait.

*Pressing the attack button immediately after performing a [[spot dodge]] will allow Terry to perform a counterattack that deals 11% and has an identical animation to his up tilt, albeit with different mechanics (see below).

|neutraldesc=A jab, followed by a {{iw|wikipedia|short straight-punch}}, followed by a side kick. Holding the attack button also causes Terry to repeat the first hit. It is the second-most damaging neutral attack in the game, being surpassed only by {{SSBU|Kazuya}}'s. However, the jab and short straight-punch can be canceled into special moves, which is significantly more rewarding than using the entirety of his neutral attack. [[Rising Tackle]] and [[Power Dunk]] are very effective follow-ups, due to their effective damage racking and KOing potentials, respectively. It is also remarkably safe on shield, only being -6. Based on his standing light punch, close-range standing heavy punch, and standing light kick in most ''Fatal Fury'' games, with the short straight-punch consisting of 2 hits like in the original ''Fatal Fury'' games.

|ftiltdesc=A mid-level roundhouse kick. It has a respectable damage output, especially when sweetspotted, and is moderately fast. Can be special canceled, and is a very easy and reliable confirm into [[Burning Knuckle]] or Buster Wolf at low to medium percentages. The move also has a [[disjointed]] hitbox on Terry's foot, and grants [[intangibility]] to his kicking leg. Incredibly safe on shield, and if special canceled, ends up being +11. On an extended note, this enables Burning Knuckle to trade with every offensive [[out of shield]] option, including [[Fire]]. Based on his standing heavy kick in the early ''King of Fighters'' entries, albeit performed at a lower angle.  

|dtiltdesc=A crouching, Hapkido-style shin kick. Deals extremely low damage, but can be spammed safely due to its very low overall lag. It can be special canceled. At higher percentages, this confirms reliably into his neutral attack, up smash, down smash, and Burning Knuckle. Based on his crouching light kick in his home series.

|dashdesc=A [[wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Shoulder block|shoulder block]]. The clean hit possesses decent KO potential while near the edge. In comparison, the weak hit can occasionally set up combos, though not to the same extent as some other dash attacks. Additionally, the move can also cross up shields and clash with projectiles, making it surprisingly safe. He might either say "Power Charge!" or "Goodbye!" when using this attack. It can cancel into his Final Smash, and is based on Terry's special move of the same name that debuted in ''Real Bout Fatal Fury Special''.

|fsmashdesc=A spinning back kick. Noticeable startup and ending lag, but boasts excellent KO potential thanks to its very high damage output and lack of a sourspot. Can be canceled into his Final Smash. Based on one of his command normals, which eventually became his recurring Blow Back Attack in ''The King of Fighters'' games, his low-evade attack from ''Garou: Mark of the Wolves'' (a universal mechanic from that game) and his standing heavy kick in the ''Capcom vs. SNK'' games, albeit with a heavily altered animation and lacking any particular evasive utility.

|usmashdesc=Squats and then rises up to throw an uppercut. It deals more damage with its late hit. Powerful for a smash attack of its kind, and can be used as an [[out of shield]] option as well. Interestingly, its charge hold is a single frame before the hitbox comes out, making it an incredible reactive option against aerial attacks. It can cancel into his Final Smash, and is based on a command normal crouching heavy punch.

|dsmashdesc=A modified version of the martelo de chão, a kick in capoeira. In a similar vein to {{SSBU|Ryu}}'s down smash, it only hits in front of Terry. It is very fast and has good range, although its power is only moderate compared to his forward and up smashes. Nevertheless, it is able to KO at reasonable percentages thanks to its [[semi-spike]] angle, making it difficult for some opponents to recover from. It is particularly useful as a follow-up from down tilt due to the speed of both attacks. It can cancel into his Final Smash, and is based on his crouching heavy kick.

|nairdesc=A downward {{iw|wikipedia|knifehand strike}}. It has the fastest startup out of Terry's aerials (frame 4), as well as a lingering hitbox, moderately low ending lag, very low knockback, and the ability to be canceled into specials. Altogether, these traits allow it to potentially chain into itself and offer a lot of combo opportunities at various percentages. It has multiple KO setups, such as into back aerial and down aerial on landing, Power Dunk, and most reliably, Burning Knuckle. Based on his jumping light punch.

|fairdesc=A flying kick. It has decent startup (frame 7), good horizontal range, a decent damage output, and a lingering hitbox. However, it lacks KO power and has slight ending lag. Unlike most of his other moves, it can only special cancel into his Final Smash. It is based on his jumping light kick or jumping heavy kick when jumping forward or backward in his home series.

|bairdesc=A spinning hook kick. It has slower startup (frame 11) and shorter range than his forward aerial, but its clean hitbox possesses impressive KO potential, making it one of Terry's best non-special KOing moves. It is also the only one of his aerial attacks that cannot autocancel if performed immediately from a short hop fast fall. Like Ryu and Ken, Terry can have difficulty performing a back aerial during one-on-one matches, since he automatically turns towards his opponent. As a result, he must perform a [[reverse aerial rush]] in order to use it in on 1-on-1 matches. Compared to Ryu and Ken, however, it takes longer for Terry to perform, as he will only pivot around as part of his turnaround and not in a dash dance. Without performing a reverse aerial rush, it is impossible to jump off-stage while facing towards it if the opponent is off-stage. Much like his forward aerial, it can only special cancel into his Final Smash. It is based on his jumping heavy kick when jumping straight up in most ''Fatal Fury'' games.

|uairdesc=A bicycle kick. It has low ending lag and can combo into itself or other moves at low to medium percentages, and can be used at higher percentages for KO setups. It can also be canceled into specials. Overall, it functions similarly to other up aerials of its kind in regard to utility. According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], Somersault Kick is original to ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', and it was created in order to give Terry an upward attack to use while he is airborne.<ref name=SakuraiPresents>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yK3VltKv3JI Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – Mr. Sakurai Presents "Terry Bogard"]</ref> However, it is nearly identical to the Hienzan utilized by Kim Kaphwan or Overhead Kick utilized by Terry’s protégé, Rock Howard.

|dairdesc=A downward angled {{iw|wikipedia|cross|boxing}}. When sweetspotted, it is Terry's most damaging aerial and has a meteor effect that launches opponents at a very diagonal angle akin to a [[spike]]. It has the slowest startup (frame 12) and highest landing lag (15 frames) out of all of Terry's aerials, but it has fairly low startup and ending lag for a down aerial. In addition, its autocancel window is generous enough to allow it to autocancel if performed immediately from a short hop fast fall. The sourspot pops the opponent up slightly if they are hit on the ground, whereas the sweetspot launches opponents at a rather horizontal angle that limits its follow-up potential compared to other meteor smashes. It can be canceled into specials, and is based on his jumping heavy punch.

|grabname=Grab ({{ja|つかみ|Tsukami}})

|grabdesc=Reaches out with both hands. Decent range.

|pummelname=Grab Punch ({{ja|つかみパンチ|Tsukami Panchi}})

|pummeldesc=A short-straight punch. Unique compared to other pummels, being marginally slower but stronger than similar pummels like {{SSBU|Mario}}, but slightly faster and weaker than stronger pummels like {{SSBU|Bowser}}. He shares this distinction with {{SSBU|Joker}}, {{SSBU|Min Min}}, {{SSBU|Steve}} and {{SSBU|Pyra}} & {{SSBU|Mythra}}. It is based on the first hit of his Grasping Upper from ''The King of Fighters '96''.

|fthrowdesc=The {{iw|wikipedia|seoi nage}}, a Judo throw. KOs middleweights at around 166% at the edge of {{SSBU|Final Destination}}. It is based on a mirrored version of his Buster Throw that debuted in ''The King of Fighters'' series.

|uthrowdesc=An uppercut. It can combo into his neutral and up aerials reliably at low percentages, which in turn can be special canceled to extend the combo. However, its combo potential is fairly limited because of its throwbox's minimal damage output. It is based on a grab he uses from ''The King of Fighters '96'' through ''The King of Fighters 2002''.

|dthrowdesc=A [[wikipedia:Neckbreaker#Neckbreaker slam|neckbreaker slam]]. It can combo into neutral and up aerials reliably at low percentages, which in turn can be special canceled to extend the combo. However, its combo potential is fairly limited because of its moderately high ending lag and backward launching angle. It can KO middleweights at around 232% on Final Destination. It is based on a command throw in ''Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition''.

|ssdmg='''Burning Knuckle''':<br/>Standard tapped:<br/>13% (clean), 12% (late)<br/>Standard held:<br/>14% (clean), 12% (late)<br/>Input tapped:<br/>16% (clean), 14% (late)<br/>Input held:<br/>17% (clean), 14% (late)<br/> '''Crack Shoot''':<br/>Standard tapped:<br/>3% (early), 3%/4% (mid, body/foot), 6%/8% (end, body/foot)<br/>Standard held:<br/>3% (early), 3%/5% (mid, body/foot), 6%/10% (end, body/foot)<br/>Input tapped:<br/>3.6% (early), 3.6%/4.8% (mid, body/foot), 7.2%/9.6% (end, body/foot)<br/>Input held:<br/>3.6% (early), 3.6%/6% (mid, body/foot), 7.2%/12% (end, body/foot)

'''Burning Knuckle (forward special):''' A lunging, energy-infused cross. Activates by tilting the control stick towards the opponent. Can be held instead of tapped for more travel distance, damage and knockback. Special input is ↓ ↘ →  + attack/special/side taunt (where → is the direction Terry is facing), which increases its damage output and knockback in addition to granting intangibility to his punching arm. The special inputted version is indicated by a subtle green trail of energy being visible alongside the blue energy engulfing Terry's fist. Can cancel into his Final Smash. Terry will announce either "Burn Knuckle!", "Burn!", or "Burning!" when using the move.

'''Crack Shoot (backward special):''' A [[wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Spinning heel kick|spinning heel kick]]. Activates by tilting the control stick away from the opponent. The aerial version can be used in the opposite direction by holding back for a short time before inputting backward special. Special input is ↓ ↙ ← + attack/special/side taunt (where ← is the direction behind Terry), which increases its damage output and knockback, and adds shield damage to the second hit. The first hit can cancel into his Final Smash. Terry will announce either "Crack Shoot!" or "Kick back!" when using the move.

|usdmg=Standard:<br/>4% (hit 1), 0.3% (hits 2-4), 7% (hit 5, tapped), 9% (hit 5 held);<br/>Input:<br/>4.5% (hit 1), 0.3% (hits 2-8), 8% (hit 9, tapped), 10% (hit 9, held)

|usdesc=Terry jumps in the air feetfirst to perform an upward corkscrew flying kick while extending his arms. Can be held instead of tapped for more distance and damage. The move grants intangibility to Terry's lower body as he rises upward. If ↓ is held for at least 24 frames before performing the up attack, side taunt, or special input, the move will render Terry's entire body intangible on startup while his lower body will be intangible for an even longer amount of time, the move itself will have slightly increased travel distance, it will deal more damage and knockback, have 2/3rds the landing lag, and the move will consist of 9 hits instead of 5. The charge is stored for 10 frames after releasing down. The inputted version is indicated by Terry's body faintly flashing blue along with a distinct sound effect when successfully activated. It is also much more powerful compared to the regular version, KOing middleweights at around 125% and being an excellent mix-up to Power Dunk as a combo finisher if the opponent tries to use SDI to avoid it. The first 2 hits can cancel into his Final Smash. Terry will announce either "Rising Tackle!", "Hee-yah!", or "Bingo!" when using the move.

|dsdesc=A jumping knee strike followed by a descending downward angled, energy-infused cross. Notoriously effective as a special canceled follow-up from the second hit of neutral attack. Can be held instead of tapped to increase the travel distance of the rising portion, although doing so does not increase the move's power. Special input is → ↓ ↘ + attack/special/side taunt, which grants intangibility during its ascent, increases its damage output (1.2×) and knockback, and enables it to [[meteor smash]] when doing the strong version of Power Dunk at the end if Terry's fist hits the opponent dead center. The special inputted version is indicated by Terry's fist leaving a blue trail of energy, along with a distinct sound effect. Both hits of the rising knee strike can cancel into his Final Smash. Terry will announce either "Power Dunk!" or "Beat up!" when using the move.

|ci1desc=When "GO" is active, used with ↓ ↙ ← ↙ → or ↓ ← ↓ → , followed by either attack, special, or side taunt. Terry punches the ground, erupting a massive geyser of energy from below. Has very high vertical range, even capable of catching opponents standing on the top platform of {{SSBU|Battlefield}}. The attack has three different hitboxes placed at diagonally ascending distances from Terry along the geyser, each dealing decreasing amounts of damage. Power Geyser launches at an upward angle, and has high knockback capable of KOing any character before 100% vertically. It is capable of KOing as early as 50% when landing the weakest hitbox (due to its high placement), and the two stronger hitboxes actually deal increased knockback if they connect late. In addition, Terry has armor during the startup of the move (frames 1-14) that can withstand a maximum of 5% (6% in 1-on-1 matches), and the geyser itself deals very high shield damage, comparable to [[Pound]]. However, Power Geyser possesses more startup and ending lag of the two Super Special Moves, making it highly punishable especially if [[Powershield#In_Super_Smash_Bros._Ultimate|perfect shielded]], though these weaknesses can be mitigated if the move is linked in to. Terry will announce either "Power... Geyser!" or "Go bang!" when using the move.

|ci2desc=When "GO" is active, used with ↓ ↘ → ↓ ↘ → or ↓ → ↓ → , followed by either attack, special, or side taunt. Terry quickly slides forward along the ground to throw an energy-infused punch, asking, "Are you okay?" If he connects successfully with an opponent, he will follow up by generating an explosive energy blast from his fist while announcing "Buster Wolf!". The blast can also hit bystanders within range. Has powerful knockback, KOing any characters before 120% from center stage and as early as 35% at the edge. Terry has armor during the start-up of Buster Wolf (frames 1-15) that can withstand a maximum of 8% (9.6% in 1-on-1 matches). The first hit is a [[Grab#Hitboxes_that_can_grab|hit grab]], and as such, Buster Wolf will not follow through with the second hit if the opponent is [[shield]]ing, hit while [[Floor Recovery|prone]], or if they were recently released from a [[Grab#Properties|grab]], making the move punishable in the former case. A couple of notable advantages to Buster Wolf being a hit grab is that Terry can bypass [[Wonderwing]], [[Revenge]], and [[Rebel's Guard]] (but not Tetrakarn). For the latter two, this likely due to them not providing [[intangibility]] during the start-up and not spawning a separate activation hurtbox like other counters. Terry is intangible for 26 frames upon connecting the initial hit. The initial hit can be canceled into his Final Smash.

*'''Up taunt''': Gestures and says, "Hey, come on, come on!" It is based on his signature taunt and intro pose in most games from ''Fatal Fury 2'' and ''The King of Fighters '94'' (respectively) onward.

*'''Side taunt''': Turns to the side and points, saying, "Stand up." It is based on a victory pose he received in ''Garou: Mark of the Wolves'' and later used ''The King of Fighters 2001''.

*'''Down taunt''': Takes his hat off and spins it around on his finger, before putting it back on. It is based on his match start animation in ''Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory'', ''Real Bout Fatal Fury'', and ''Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition''.

*Performs a bounce step, a footwork technique in boxing. It is based on an intro animation from ''The King of Fighters '98'' onward.

SSBUTerryIdle2.gif|Terry's second idle pose.

*'''Left:''' Turns around with his hand on his hip, his back facing the screen before throwing his hat to the side while saying "Okay!" It is based on his signature victory pose in virtually every appearance from  ''Fatal Fury 2'' onward.

*'''Up:''' Holds the brim of his hat while slowly turning it to the side, then dramatically tosses it behind him while shouting "Okay!" in a much more intense fashion than his left pose. The camera then zooms in on his smiling face. It is based on his victory pose from ''The King of Fighters '94'' and ''<nowiki>'</nowiki>95''.

*'''Right:''' Brushes his hat against his right leg several times before putting it back on his head while looking to the side and hiding his eyes with his hat. It is based on his Round 1 victory pose from ''Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory'', ''Real Bout Fatal Fury'', and several other games thereafter.

===Tier placement and history===

When Terry was first released, many thought the character had potential due to his combo-oriented gameplan paired with his extremely powerful finishers at higher percents. His comeback mechanic, in the form of the "GO" meter, is also highly praised as it allows him to deliver extremely strong special moves, most notably Buster Wolf, and confirms into it. Top players such as {{Sm|Dabuz}} all noted his powerful neutral and punishing game, as well as lauding his highly damaging combos and KO setups and believe that, when mastered, can potentially render him as a top tier. However, many of Terry's flaws were noted by other players, such as his poor disadvantage state and exploitable recovery. Despite Terry's setbacks, dedicated mains such as {{Sm|Riddles}} have shown the potential of the character; Riddles in particular demonstrated Terry's viability as a solo main in the early metagame, winning several Canadian regionals and placing respectably at majors. This continued during the online era, where Riddles would see several top 16 placements at large online tournaments.

 

Following the return of offline competitive play, Terry's performance remained just as strong, if not better than before. Although Riddles started to co-main Terry with {{SSBU|Kazuya}}, he nevertheless established himself as a top 10 player using both characters, while other Terry players began making a notable impact on their scenes, including {{Sm|Mustaine}} in Mexico, {{Sm|DarkStalker}} in the United Kingdom, {{Sm|Ezs}} in Japan, and {{Sm|AndresFn}} in Spain. Thanks to his dedicated playerbase and strong performances, the general consensus is that Terry is a solid high-tier character, and as such he is ranked 29th on the current tier list.

*If {{SSBU|Hero}}'s alternate costumes are not counted (in this case, Erdrick and Solo), Terry is the oldest Fighters Pass character, due to him debuting in 1991. However, if counting DLC in general, [[Piranha Plant]] would be the oldest DLC fighter, due to its debut in 1985. This additionally beats Erdrick, who debuted in 1988.

*When Terry loses his final stock in Stamina Mode, his cap flies off of his head in reference to his KO animation in the ''Fatal Fury'' series and each one of his appearances.

*Terry is one of the few fighters in ''Ultimate'' who has canonical names for all of his attacks, unlike most fighters who only have a select few named attacks. The only other character who shares this distinction is Kazuya.

*Terry has unique sound effects when landing from a fall, which is taken from the original ''Fatal Fury'', making him the first character where this is the case, preceding {{SSBU|Steve}}.

*If Terry is set as a CPU opponent in [[Training Mode]], all three CPUs will always face the player, much like on 1-on-1 matches. He shares this distinction with {{SSBU|Ryu}}, {{SSBU|Ken}}, and {{SSBU|Kazuya}}.

**This also happens if Terry faces a single opponent in a team consisting of two or more characters in [[Team Battle]]s with [[Team Attack]] off, and in [[All-Star Mode]] when he appears.

*Unlike most humanoid fighter models in ''Ultimate'', Terry's bind pose is uniquely an "A-pose" instead of a [[T-pose]].<ref>https://twitter.com/firubiii/status/1192301470982582272</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/firubiii/status/1222377730550980610</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/Zeckemyro/status/1368104443510677505?s=20</ref>
