Terry is ranked 29th out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing him in the A- tier. Terry's strengths revolve around his [[combo]] ability and deadly KO setups. His normals are all effective for racking up damage, as his tilts and some of his aerials can be auto-cancelled into his specials, while his auto-turnaround ability also allows him to punish rolls and create deadly ledgetraps. In addition, Terry's combo and KO ability is further enhanced when Terry is past 100%, as it activates his "GO!" meter, granting him access to his "Super Specials" that can lead into relatively early KOs in the right situation; he is able to utilize to GO! meter effectively thanks to being a heavyweight, allowing him to survive up to higher percents. All of this makes Terry rather dangerous when fighting him up close and at higher percents.
Terry is ranked 30th out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing him in the A- tier. Terry has many strengths to complement him. His normals are all effective for racking up damage and his mobility allows him to rush down his opponents at ease. Most of his ground moves, such as jab, forward tilt, down tilt, up tilt, can be canceled into his specials and super specials during GO! at most percents, giving him a good [[combo]] ability and KO confirms. This also gives him little to no trouble KO'ing his opponents. His dash attack is a good burst option that crosses up shields and has respectable KO power. His smash attacks all have respectable utility. His forward smash is good as a hard callout or [[read]]; His up smash is a good [out of shield] that KOs reliably and can also be confirmed from a [neutral air]. Finally, his down smash is a quick get off me tool that sends opponents offstage. Terry's aerials are also strong in their own right. His [[neutral air]] allows him to combo into itself, special moves, with most notably [[burn knuckle]] for KOs, [[down air]] for spikes at the ledge, and more. His [[forward air]] is a good out of shield and landing option and has good range to contest with those trying to pressure him. His back air has good KO power. His down air is not only a solid spike at the sweetspot but also is a combo starter with the sourspot. Finally, his up air is a good juggling and anti air tool that can confirm into [[rising tackle]].
 
Terry's specials are also important for him. His neutral special [[Power Wave]] is a solid projectile to force approaches. The aerial version air wave can gimp opponents offstage. His two side specials, Burn Knuckle and [[Crackshoot]] are great burst options and horizontal recovery moves. Burn Knuckle can be held or inputted to make it stronger. Crackshoot is an unreactable burst option and an effective anti-air, dealing respectable damage, especially with the input version. [[Rising Tackle]] is a solid oos option and recovery tool, especially with the charged version. It can also be confirmed from a jab 1 jab 2. Finally, [[Power Dunk]] is a good landing tool and KO move and it can autocancel from a full hop. It is also notable for being a combo from jab 1 jab 2. All of Terry's specials can be used to aide his recovery with power wave to stall offstage; Burn Knuckle and Crackshoot for horizontal distance; Power Dunk for high recoveries and to stop reckless edgeguarders; and finally, charged Rising Tackle to give him an invincible vertical recovery.
However, Terry does have several weaknesses. Terry's strengths rely on other characters approaching him, and he has more trouble fighting characters from afar. His disadvantage state is below average since he has trouble landing, while his tall frame and stature makes him susceptible to juggling. His recovery is also exploitable if one knows how to play around it, making him rather vulnerable offstage. Finally, his normals can be escaped with good [[SDI]] allowing for most of Terry's combos to be unreliable, forcing Terry to switch up his gameplan once other players know how to deal with his combos.
These specials culminate in Terry's main comeback mechanic "GO!" when he reaches 100% or more. This gives him access to two extra special moves called "Super Specials" named [Power Geyser] and [Buster Wolf]. Power Geyser is a great anti air to stop aerial approaches and also can be confirmed from an up tilt. Buster Wolf is an amazing burst option that KOs opponents extremely early and can be confirmed from an forward tilt or down tilt. "GO!" also helps Terry since he is a heavyweight that allows him to have high endurance letting him keep GO! consistently for long periods of time.
 
Despite the abundance of strengths, Terry does have several weaknesses. His disadvantage state is below average since he has trouble landing though he can mixup with specials. His recovery is also exploitable if one knows how to play around it. His tall frame and stature also makes him prone to combos. Finally, his normals can be escaped with good [SDI] allowing for most of Terry's combos to be untrue. This makes Terry have to figure out and switch up his gameplan once other players know how to deal with his combos.
Overall, Terry's strengths outweigh his weaknesses. Although he has a smaller playerbase compared to other high-tier characters, he has nonetheless garnered strong results from players such as {{Sm|AndresFn}} and {{Sm|Riddles}}.


Terry's representation is kinda scarce for his high placement, but he has seen strong results at a major level from most notably {{Sm|Riddles}}, who has solo-mained the character until {{SSBU|Kazuya}} released and then co-mains both of them. Terry has also seen representation from {{Sm|Darkstalker}}, {{Sm|OG Mustaine}}, and {{Sm|Cless}}.
==Attributes==
==Attributes==
Terry is a tall, [[heavyweight]] fighter who weighs the same as {{SSBU|Samus}}, {{SSBU|Dark Samus}}, and {{SSBU|Bowser Jr.}} Due to hailing from a traditional fighting game series, Terry always faces his opponent in 1-on-1 matches, a trait that he shares with {{SSBU|Ryu}}, {{SSBU|Ken}}, and {{SSBU|Kazuya}}. While this makes it more difficult for him to utilize his powerful back aerial, it more importantly makes his command inputs easier to execute and less likely to misinput, and allows him to punish [[roll]]s and [[cross up]]s more easily than the vast majority of the cast. He has slow [[air speed]], a very slow initial dash, and decent [[dash]]ing speed, but is characterized most by his great ground game. This includes a potent backward dash (which allows Terry to play footsies very effectively), a strong set of normal moves and special moves, his unique ability to attack directly out of a spot dodge, and his comeback mechanic which allows incredibly powerful [[Super Special Move]]s that require specific input combinations to use.

In spite of his strengths, Terry still has notable drawbacks. His overall disadvantage state is a glaring weakness: Terry's fall speed is among the lower half of the cast, and when combined with his tall hurtbox, he is noticeably susceptible to juggles. Rising Tackle, while having intangibility throughout the first half of the move, is unable to [[Edge#Edge sweet spot|sweetspot the edge]], meaning that Terry is forced to utilize it from very low under the stage, as he is otherwise left vulnerable for a hard punish at the move's apex. Additionally, the move's vertical and horizontal distance is sub-par, making it a generally inferior recovery move. Terry's aerial speed is also well below-average, making his off-stage endurance lacking. While he is able to mix up his recovery to a certain extent with his specials, he is unlikely to survive in most off-stage situations if he has exhausted his double jump and side special.

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.

While his strengths currently seem to outweigh his weaknesses, his competitive viability has yet to be determined, as he was only available for four months prior to the [[COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on competitive Smash|closure of most tournaments worldwide due to the COVID-19 pandemic]].


==Update history==
==Update history==
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]].

Due to these changes being strictly quality-of-life adjustments, Terry's competitive reception has remained virtually unchanged since his release.

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.

Nevertheless, it is able to KO at reasonable percentages thanks to its [[semi-spike]] angle, making it difficult for some opponents to recover from.

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.

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.

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.

If he connects successfully with an opponent, he will follow up by generating an explosive energy blast from his fist, and announce the move's name. 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.

Followed by Terry turning around and charging his Max Buster Wolf, exclaiming "Here's the big one!" before unleashing the move at point-blank range. This move can cancel from many of his other moves (all ground attacks, all aerials, all specials excluding Power Wave, and the first hit of Buster Wolf). The cinematic will only affect one opponent (typically the first to get hit). Other opponents will merely be launched away and, against those, Triple Geyser's final hit deals increased knockback.

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}} and {{Sm|Leffen}} 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}} 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 a national level. 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 largely remained the same, if not better than before, despite Riddles's hesitancy on solo-maining the character and the character's below-average representation. Due to this and Terry's strong advantage state and punish game, he is considered to be one of the best, if not the best, FGC character alongside {{SSBU|Kazuya}}. He is mostly seen as a strong high tier or a top tier by many top players, such as Dabuz, {{Sm|ESAM}}, {{Sm|Marss}}, {{Sm|Tweek}}, and {{Sm|Fatality}}.
