Ex Terry character that has some tools for every distance like a fireball for long distances and solid pokes for the mid range but close up is where he shines. He has great confirms from both lows and jumpins, has some frametraps, true blockstrings and good combo damage. One of his best aspects is that he can go into the same strings on hit or block. In extra mode he also gets access to some very damaging quick max combos that makes him a lot scarier. His weaknesses include fairly weak anti airing options and a lack of mixups outside of the general kof tools.

He has great confirms from both lows and jump-ins, a mix of frametraps and true blockstrings, and great combo damage. One of his best aspects is that his go-to strings are good combos on hit and safe blockstrings/frametraps on block, letting him autopilot his way through. With Extra mode meter, he also gets access to some very damaging Quick MAX combos that make him a lot scarier. His weaknesses include fairly weak anti-airing options, and a lack of mixups outside of the general system tools.

Introduction

EX Terry is a character with tools for every distance, like a fireball for long distances and solid pokes for midrange, but close up is where he shines. He has great confirms from both lows and jump-ins, a mix of frametraps and true blockstrings, and great combo damage. One of his best aspects is that his go-to strings are good combos on hit and safe blockstrings/frametraps on block, letting him autopilot his way through. With Extra mode meter, he also gets access to some very damaging Quick MAX combos that make him a lot scarier. His weaknesses include fairly weak anti-airing options, and a lack of mixups outside of the general system tools.

  • the first hit of the sliding kick is special cancelable which means you can make some true blockstrings and frame traps when combined with his other specials.
  • the second hit is only cancelable into his rising tackle.
  • good move to cancel into both as a combo and on block as it has a lot of reach and comes out fast so you can combo even from further distances.
  • unsafe on block unless the first hit is cancelled into qcf+A or qcb+B.
  • when not cancelled it causes a juggleable state so you can do a j.D for a reset. if you just let the opponent fall it causes a soft knockdown.

Desperation Moves

Power Geyser:: qcb, db, f + A/C

  • has full startup invulnerability but none on the active frames so it can trade.
  • causes soft knockdown.
  • the Max version does 3 big power geysers in a row, each appearing in front of the last.
  • does more damage but the last hit can whiff if the move was done too close to the corner.

low confirm into super.

  • (j.X) cl.C f+A hcf+K d~u+C/j.D

standard combo from a jumpin or a heavy starter. on a jumpin you need to go into f+A on the first hit of cl.C for the combo to work.

  • (j.X) cl.C f+A qcb,f+P

simple super combo from a jumpin or heavy.

  • cr.B cr.A cr.A df+C hcf+K ABC qcb,f+P

Low confirm into a extra mode quick max that allows a super to connect after the second hit of hcf+K

  • (j.X) cl.C df+C hcf+K(1) qcb+D ABC cr.A df+C qcb,f+P
