regular throw, techable. Terry slams the opponent to the ground behind him sending them almost full screen away causing a backturned hard knockdown.
Command Moves
Back Knuckle: F + A
two hitting move for combos and blockstrings.
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
has two hitboxes, the first on in front of him and the second on diagonally above him.
the second hitbox can function as an anti air, and this is important because terry lacks a good anti air move among his normals.
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 full screen.
A version is a good pressure tool as it's safe when properly spaced out, works as a preemptive anti air to catch jumpouts and has a good hitbox to catch pokes.
C version is safe from full screen away and can be used as a way to get in, but use it sparingly it's easy to in a multitude of ways.
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 Terry.
Moves with low invulnerability can go through the projectile.
Round Wave: dp + A/C
a close ranged energy wave.
on block it's special and super cancelable so you can cancel out of it for pressure or combos.
long startup and recovery, it is not whiff cancelable so on whiff it is very punishable.
also very punishable on block and hit if you don't cancel it into anything.
Crack Shot: qcb + B/D
a arching kick. B version travels shorter and lower down than the C version.
B version is a good preemptive anti air and can be fairly safe on block.
B version Will whiff on short crouchers
D version takes longer to come out but is + on block.
as an anti air D version hits higher up than B version.
only the last hit of D version will hit short crouchers.
Fire Kick:hcf + B/D
a sliding kick with two hits that hits low.
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.
Rising Tackle: d~u + A/C
a big upwards travelling spinning kick. B version goes a shorter distance but comes out faster.
B version has startup invincibility and can be used as a fast anti air.
D version has startup + some active frame invincibility making it a good reversal.
unsafe on block or whiff.
Causes soft knockdown.
Desperation Moves
Power Geyser:: qcb, db, f + A/C
a large energy wave in front of Terry.
has a large range upwards and in front of Terry so it works great as an anti air.
its large range also makes it easy to combo into from all of his super cancelable tools.
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.
causes soft knockdown.
Combos
cr.B cr.A cr.A df+C hcf+K d~u+C/ j.D
low confirm combo. the rising tackle finisher is for max damage and the j.D is for a reset.
(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.
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
A quick max combo that works on standing opponents only as the qcb+D will whiff on crouchers. on a crossup starter you can replace the later cr.A with a cl.D for more damage.
