The King of Fighters 2002 UM/Terry Bogard

Normals

Close

• cl.A/B/C/D are cancel-able

• cl.A hits crouching opponents and is chain-able into itself, cl.B, cr. B, cr. A, df+C

• cl.C hits twice and the first hit can be special cancelled, and canceled into df+C or f+A

• cl.D is special cancel-able, and can be canceled into df+C or f+A

Standing

• st. A & st C are special cancel-able

• st. A is chain-able into st. B, and df+C.

• st. A is good for stopping hop attacks

• st. B has a very far hit box and can be used as a mid-range poke

• st. D moves Terry forward a bit, and pushes him back on block

Crouching

• cr.A/B/C/D are all special cancel-able

• cr.A and cr. C hits mid

• cr.B hits low and is chain-able into itself, cr. A, st.A, st.B and df+C

• cr.C can chain into df+C and f+A

• cr.D is a sweep that hits low but has an animation that looks like it may hit mid

• cr.B/C/D are all whiff cancel-able

Jumping

• j.A is good for air to ground attacks

• j.B is good to use for air-to-air and to stop incoming hops and jumps from a mid to long range distance, can be low profiled if performed too early in jump

• j.C is good for air to ground

• j.D is good for air to ground and can cross up standing and crouching opponents easily

• neutral j.D can be used for air-to-air but it has a more vertical hit box

Blowback

• CD: good ranged vertical hit box, pushes terry back far on block, whiff cancel-able

• j.CD: great air-to-air attack, and can be used to pressure the opponent in the corner, can be low profiled

Throws

Grasping (b/f + C) close

• Terry grabs the opponent then uppercuts them (df+C animation). The opponent lands near the corner of the screen.

• Soft knockdown

Buster Throw - (b/f + D) close

• Grabs and slams opponent in opposite direction. The opponent lands 1 character space away from the corner of the screen.

• This throw is great for okizeme setups like cross-ups with j.D or empty jump low mixups, etc.

• Hard knockdown

Command Moves

Rising Upper - (df + C)

• *This is Terry's command normal uppercut. Good & easy to use in combos before a special move or DM, or at the end blockstrings. It can be used as an anti-air but be mindful of its slow start-up as it may trade or get beaten out by the opponent's jump normals if timed improperly.

• Very easy to combo into from a cr.B, cr.A, st.A, close C, crouching C, close D, and crouching D.

• Special cancel-able

Hammer Punch - (f + A)

• Terry takes a large step forward to deliver a low aiming hook punch that hits overhead. Not cancel-able by itself, but it is as easy to cancel into from many of his crouching and standing normals similar to his df+C command normal. It can combo only from heavy normals, and it is special cancel-able but loses its overhead properties. Terry gets pushed back a great distance if its blocked, which is good if you need some space away from the opponent for you can properly react and read their next actions of movement.

• Be careful using f+A at the end of a blockstring, the opponent can roll before the f+A hits if your opponent is expecting it.

• Hits overhead

• Special cancel-able if cancelled from other normals

Special Moves

Power Wave - (qcf + A)

• Projectile which travels along the ground at a good speed and has plus frames

• Great for zoning or to end in blockstrings

Round Wave - (qcf + C)

• Energy explosion around Terry's fist. You can't combo into it, but if it hits, it's possible to special cancel it (except into qcf+A) as a follow up.

• Has pretty slow start-up, and isn't safe on block, plus you can't combo into it which makes it's use it battle rather limited and unsafe

• Soft knockdown

• Super cancel-able

• Special cancel-able

Burn Knuckle - (qcb + A/C)

• Terry charges with a glowing fist

• A version travel one third of the screen; C version travels full screen

• Light punch version has a good amount of start-up which makes it easy to combo into, and hard to punish if spaced at its maximum distance. At point blank it is very unsafe on block

• Heavy punch version has slower start-up (can't combo into it), and hard to punish if spaced full screen. Similar to the light punch version, at point blank it is very unsafe on block.

Quick Burning - (dp + A/C)

• One close uppercut followed by a long range overhead blow

• Even though the second hit is negative frames, Terry is pushed back a fair distance if blocked.

• The second hit which is the overhead doesn't lose it's overhead property if if the whole special move is cancelled from a normal attack (example cr. D into dp+P)

• Both punch strengths (light punch and heavy punch) of Quick Burning have similar qualities and properties
