Terry (テリー, Terry) is an upcoming playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was officially announced in the September 4th, 2019 Nintendo Direct as the fourth downloadable character from the Fighters Pass. He is scheduled to release in November 2019 and classified as Fighter #74.

Attributes

• Terry's design resembles his appearance in The King of Fighters series, particularly the Maximum Impact games. His animations appear to be modeled after The King of Fighters XII and XIII.
• He has an animation where he adjusts his cap, most likely as an idle animation or taunt.
• Similar to Ryu and Ken, unique sound effects are used when hitting opponents instead of the typical knockback sounds. In Terry's case, it's the sound effects from attacks in the original Fatal Fury.
• The brief gameplay footage released shows him performing two moves from Fatal Fury:
  • Power Wave: A punch to the ground that shoots a fiery projectile that travels along the ground, most likely his neutral special.
    • Power Wave is shown to have two speeds, which possibly means that the button can be held to modify it, similar to Ryu and Ken.
  • Burn Knuckle: A move where he launches forward and punches the opponent, most likely his side special.
    • Burn Knuckle is shown to resemble the EX version of the move from Fatal Fury, and also has a flash similar to that of Ryu and Ken when they input their moves manually, likely meaning Terry will have a similar command input mechanic.

Trivia

• Terry's reveal trailer makes a couple references to other SNK titles.
  • The beginning of the trailer shows an invitation falling into Kyo Kusanagi's hand, taken directly from the opening of The King of Fighters '94; the message ending with [S] is a reference to Rugal Bernstein ending the message with his initial [R] as well as Smash director Masahiro Sakurai.
  • Ryo Sakazaki's cut-in is a sequence taken from the intro of The King of Fighters '96. The music being played (which continues into the Andy and Joe segment) is from the first stage of Art of Fighting, where the player fights Ryuhaku Todoh.
  • Joe Higashi and Andy Bogard's appearance features a sequence from Fatal Fury Special.
  • Geese Howard falling from his tower references Geese's demise at the end of Fatal Fury: King of Fighters. His sprite has been edited to match his design from Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory. The music being played in this segment is Geese's traditional theme song, as heard in Fatal Fury Special.
  • Nakoruru's sequence is from the Vs. screen of Samurai Shodown II. The music is her stage theme from the first Samurai Shodown game.
  • Iori Yagami's sequence is taken directly from the intro sequence of The King of Fighters '95, with his laughter being his signature win pose. The music for this part is his team's theme from The King of Fighters '96.
  • Terry's silhouette is from the intro of Real Bout Fatal Fury.
• Terry is the fourth fighter to receive an invitation letter in his reveal trailer, after Villager, Isabelle and Joker.
• Terry's inclusion marks the second time Capcom, SNK, and Square Enix (and, more specifically, Street Fighter, Fatal Fury, and Final Fantasy) have crossed over in a fighting game developed by Bandai Namco, as Akuma, Geese, and Noctis Lucis Caelum previously crossed over in Tekken 7.
  • Additionally, disregarding the aforementioned guest characters, this is the first time Capcom and SNK characters have appeared in a crossover fighting game since SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos.
• Terry is the first DLC character not to be accompanied by another character in the panoramic artwork. Piranha Plant is accompanied by a Pikmin, Joker is accompanied by Morgana, Hero is accompanied by a Slime, while Banjo & Kazooie accompany each other.
• Terry is the fourth newcomer in Ultimate to not be announced in the same presentation as another, after Inkling, Isabelle and Joker.
