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.

Regular throw, techable. EX Terry grabs the opponent and uppercuts them, sending them almost fullscreen away and causing a soft knockdown.
Buster Throw:b/f+D (close)
Regular throw, techable. EX Terry slams the opponent to the ground behind him, sending them almost fullscreen away and causing a backturned hard knockdown.
Command Moves
Back Knuckle:f+A

The second hit can whiff if there's too much pushback before the f+A.
Only the second hit is cancelable.
Rising Upper:df+C

The second hitbox can function as an anti-air, and in fact works as EX Terry's main anti-air normal against full jumps.
Good to use in combos that starts with lights, as f+A won't combo from them.
Cancelable.
Special Moves
Burning Knuckles:qcb+A/C
A dash punch. A version goes a short distance and C version goes fullscreen.
A version is a good pressure tool, as it's safe when properly spaced out, works as a preemptive anti-air to catch jump-outs, and has a good hitbox to catch pokes.
C version is safe from fullscreen away and can be used as a way to get in, but use it sparingly as its slow startup makes it easy to react to and stuff.
Can be low-profiled and then punished by some moves.
Power Wave:qcf+A/C
A grounded projectile. A version travels slower than the C version.
Good zoning and pressure tool, as it's safe on block.
Can be hopped over.
Has a deadzone right in front of EX Terry.
Moves with low invincibility can go through the projectile.
Round Wave:dp+A/C
A close-ranged stationary projectile.
On hit and block it's special- and super-cancelable, so you can use it to extend pressure or combos.
Long startup and recovery, making it very punishable on whiff since you can't cancel it into something safe.
Also very punishable on block and hit if you don't cancel it into anything.
Crack Shot:qcb+B/D
An arching kick. B version travels shorter and lower down than the D version.
B version is a good preemptive anti-air, and can be fairly safe on block if spaced.
B version will whiff on short crouchers.
D version takes longer to come out, but is plus on block and does multiple hits.
As an anti-air, D version hits higher up than B version.
Only the last hit of the D version will hit short crouchers.
Fire Kick:hcf+B/D
A sliding kick with two hits.
The first hit of the sliding kick hits low and is special-cancelable, meaning you can make some true blockstrings and frame traps when combined with his other specials.
The second hit hits mid and is only cancelable into d~u+P.
Good move to cancel into both in combos and on block, as it has a lot of reach and comes out fast so you can combo even from long range.
Unsafe on block unless the first hit is canceled into qcf+A or qcb+B.
When not canceled, it launches the opponent so you can do a j.D for a reset. If you just let the opponent fall, it causes a soft knockdown.

EX Terry's DP. A big upwards-traveling spinning kick. A version goes a shorter distance but comes out faster.

Unsafe on block or whiff.
Causes a soft knockdown.
Desperation Moves
Power Geyser:qcb,db,f+A/C
