'''Cornered Opponent''' | '''Cornered Opponent''' | ||
When you have someone cornered, you're usually at an advantage and disadvantage with Terry. One advantage is you can do a no stock combo in the corner. This is good when you want to finish off people and keep them guessing. In the corner, you can also get aggressive. You can hop in and go for the high-low mix ups, maybe even empty hop throw or jump-in into his EX crackshoot if you know they're trying to block for lows. Another clear advantage is the ability to guardbreak. Terry has strong normals and pressuring tools in his D Crackshoot, his EX Power wave, and more. If you hop in on someone, you can go for your jump D but land and do a sweep. From there, you cancel it into df+C and D Crackshoot. Unless they react fast, they won't block standing. If they weren't blocking low at all, they get hit! You immediately press C and throw out an EX power wave for more pressure. From this position, you can jump in and do any string for a guard break. Terry can really run you down. | When you have someone cornered, you're usually at an advantage and disadvantage with Terry. One advantage is you can do a no stock combo in the corner.

Console Changes
- Crouching A > Crouching C is a chain combo. Can be canceled.
- Normal Buster Wolf’s (qcf x2+P) dashing speed is now identical to the EX version. But the Invincibility is the same as before.
- Far D’s recovery time has been reduced.
- Standing CD’s hit detection lasts a bit longer.
- Trinity Geyser’s (qcb~hcf+P) hitbox has been changed so that it actually hits 3 times.
Producer Yamamoto says:
"We’ve mainly buffed up his normals, and he can do solid combos with the addition of chains. Also, His Trinity Geyser’s hitbox has been changed, and he can also hit the opponent afterwards in the corner."
Gameplay Overview
Gameplay Notes
So here's where we get real detailed with Mr. Bogard. Terry is a brawler both as a character design and from a gameplay stand point. This Lone Wolf puts in a lot of work on the opponent, using fast normals and tricky setups to keep an opponent blocking. Terry's true strength comes from proper utilization of all his normal moves and command normals. He has a lot of situational normals that have specific uses like his st.D used as an anti-air or his f+A as a long range poke. Learning how to use them to defend yourself is very important to playing as a good Terry because you can keep bringing the fight to them and staying in your opponent's face.
Terry's specials are also very situational, but using them at the right time can net some good rewards like knowing when to use and space Burn Knuckle, how to use D crackshoot to start a frame trap, or when to use power wave instead of crackshoot in a string. He has very good block strings with specials, using Crackshoot to keep people in check if they're blocking low, or just using your fast normals to keep poking until they crack, especially if you mix in some hop/jump D cross ups for good measure. Whether you're cornered or you're cornering someone, Terry's got the tools to take a bite out of any character in the cast.
Lone Wolf Terry Bogard is a technical, but rewarding character. He's easy to use at first, but hard to master.
Pros
- Has very good and fast normals like st.A, st.B, d.A, d.B, st.C, etc.
- df+C can work as a vertical anti-air and helps keep out hoppers
- Has a strong pressure game, can cancel his seep into other specials as well
- D Crackshoot pressure off a low allows him to set up his frame trap (Puts him at frame advantage)
- Properly spacing most ground specials make them safe and good to use for pressure (Easy guardbreak character)
- Simple damaging combos
- VERY long range normals like far C and far D as well as a sliding st.CD
Cons
- Not very damaging without meter, drive AND stock meter
- HD combo damage for 1-2 bars are not very good, not worth the resources.
- Improper spacing of and command grab characters take away some of your options (But there's still a way!)
- Neomax and EX Power Geyser are terrible in the corner, doesn't automatically hit all hits.
- Jump CD has practically no lower hit box so is pretty bad for air to ground pressure.
Normals
Standing
st. A: 25 damage, chain-able and cancel-able, hits mid. A quick jab. Useful against hyper hops and can be comboed into Back Knuckle (f+A).
st. B: 30 damage, cancel-able, hits mid. A side kick with good reach. It can be chained from his crouching B and can be comboed into weak crackshoot, Buster Wolf or EX Power Geyser.
st. C: 80 damage, cancel-able, DMs only, hits mid. A straight punch with good range and good speed. Great poke. Also note it's unique cancel properties.
st. D: 70 damage, hits mid. Terry leans back, twisting slightly, and kicks forward. (Animation resembles the last hit of his 'Fire Kick' move from Real Bout 2.) Better reach than his far C, but a bit slower.
cl. C - 70 damage, cancel-able, hits mid. A close-range punch that hits twice. Very fast and combos easily. Five stars!
cl. D - 70 damage, cancel-able, hits mid. Terry delivers a kick aimed at his opponent's face. Not as strong as close C, and only hits once; however, it can be used for combos and is actually preferable for longer (particularly HD) combos due to less damage scaling.
Crouching
cr. A: 25 damage, chain-able and cancel-able, hits mid. A crouching jab. It can combo into his Rising Upper (df+C).
cr. B: 30 damage, chain-able and cancel-able, hits low. A quick, crouching kick. It can be chained into standing B or crouching A.
cr. C: 70 damage, cancel-able, hits mid. A crouching version of his far C. While less damaging, it can be canceled into anything.
cr. D: 80 damage, whiff and hit cancel-able, hits low. A crouching kicks that knocks down standing opponents. Long reach.
Jumping
j. A: 45 (40) damage, hits overhead. A quick, downward punch.
j. B: 45 (40) damage, hits overhead. A forward kick which is great for air-to-air.
j. C: 72 (70) damage, hits overhead. A strong punch aimed downward. Good for jump-ins.
j. D: 70 (68) damage, hits overhead. A strong kick aimed downward. Good for jump-ins and cross-ups.
Blowback Attack
CD: 75 damage, whiff and hit cancel-able, hits mid. A shoulder charge.
j. CD: 90 (80) damage, hits mid. Looks like an aerial version of Terry's close D.
GCCD: - 10 damage, hits mid. Guard Cancel Blowback Attack. For some reason, it's the same animation as his close D.
Throw
Buster Throw = (b/f+C/D) close 100 damage, can be broken. Terry grabs his opponent and throws them to the ground.
Command Moves
Rising Upper = (df+C) 60 damage, cancel-able, hits mid. An uppercut with good vertical reach. Nice anti-air and great in combos. Can be comboed into from close C/D and crouching A. Common follow-ups are: Power Wave, weak Burn Knuckle and either DM.
Back Knuckle = (f+A) 80 damage, hits mid. Terry spins around and hits the opponent with the back of his knuckle, hence the name. Great reach and good damage, but slow to come out. Useful on wake-up. Can be combo'd into from standing A.
Special Moves
Power Wave = (qcf+P) - Terry slams the ground with his fist, producing a wave of energy. This move is mostly useful in block-strings, and occasionally super canceled. A version comes out faster and travels full-screen. C version travels half of the screen, travels faster and knocks down. No damage difference.
(EX) = qcf+AC - Travels full-screen, but slowly. Hits three times. Although it doesn't link with any specials, it's hard to poke him after it comes out. With proper spacing, that's impossible. If an opponent jumps onto it, it traps them in a standing position while being hit, allowing for a follow up attack. On block, and if you're at the right distance, you can run after your fireball and keep pressuring your opponent.
- Super Cancel-able
- Hit Detection: High
- A/C damage: 60; EX damage: 45x3
- C version absorbs/beats other projectiles/EX Projectiles (Including standard projectiles like Kyo's, and those that stay still like Elizabeth's). Use this move as a "nutcracker" break open fireball dependent characters.
Burn Knuckle = (qcb+P) - Terry flies forward with his burning fist outstretched. It travels quite fast, making it useful for keeping your opponent on their toes. It is quite unsafe on block, so please don't just throw it out there and hope it hits. Because this move can be drive canceled, it's the linchpin of most of Terry's longer combos. A version comes out faster, does less damage and doesn't travel as far. C version comes out slower, does more damage and travels farther.
(EX) = qcb+AC - Comes out as fast as A, travels farther than C and does almost as much damage as both combined. When it hits an airborne opponent mid-screen, Terry can end up on the opposite side of his opponent. (You can drive cancel into EX Burn Knuckle from A or C Burn Knuckle, by the way.)
- Drive/Super Cancel-able
- Hit Detection: High
- A damage: 75; C damage: 90; EX damage: 160
Crack Shoot = (qcb+K) - Terry flips forward with his leg coming down on his opponent. Hard to punish on block, so it's a great tool for pressuring opponents. Against airborne opponents, it can be used to juggle them higher, making this move useful for extending combos. B version is faster and hits twice, D version hits four times.
All crackshoots are fairly safe on block, B being -2 frames and D being -1 when standing. Opponents can do moves (like low B) to lower their hurtbox and avoid being hit at the right time so don't be too predictable! On counter hit, D crackshoot allows you to continue into a combo (Though the link is pretty tight). If an opponent blocks D Crackshoot low, that's a frame trap. Terry is at frame advantage. You can jump, pressure with low B or st.C and your opponent will likely be beat out or feel safer blocking.
(EX) = qcb+BD - Comes out faster and is an overhead. This makes it a very useful way to end a match if your opponent in near death.
- B/D Hit Detection: High, EX Hit Detection: Mid
- Damage: 40x2 / 40x4 / 120
Rising Tackle = (d~u+P) - Terry flips upside down and flies straight up while spinning around like a top. The awesomeness of this move is inversely proportional to how goofy it sounds. Great damage, but incredibly unsafe. (If you want a safer anti-air, go for Rising Upper.) Use this only when you're certain your opponent will be above you, or in combos. The quicker, A version hits five times, and C version hits seven times, although if the opponent isn't close enough all the hits won't connect.
(EX) = d~u+AC - EX version is godly. Around 3 frames start-up and insanely powerful. It also has a vacuum effect, where the opponent is pulled into the move if it connects. So while the normal version can just knock them away after one hit, the EX version is always going to hit multiple times if one hit connects. There are technically 21 hits to this move, but it's impossible for all of them to connect. Against an airborne opponent who is very close, it can hit a maximum of 20 times. The maximum number of times it can hit a grounded opponent is only 17. Great for ending combos.
- Drive / Super Cancel-able (first hit only)
- Hit Detection: High
- A damage: 40,10x4,50; C damage: 50,15x6; EX damage: 20x7,10x13,30
Desperation Moves
Power Geyser = (qcb hcf+P) - Terry slams the ground with his fist, creating an angled geyser of energy. Great anti-air, but a tad slow.
(EX) = qcb hcf+AC - Creates three geysers (although Terry still only hits the ground once). It comes out much quicker, making it much more useful in combos. Under the right circumstances, it can be used to juggle an airborne opponent high enough that Terry can follow up with Buster Wolf, or other moves. In the corner, however, it may only hit twice, or even once.
- Hit Detection: High
- A/C damage: 210; EX damage: 120x3 [total=360]
Buster Wolf = (qcfx2+K) - Does this move even need an introduction? Probably not, but I'll give one anyway. Terry flies forward like in Burn Knuckle and, if the move connects, an explosion blasts the opponent away. It's not as strong as Power Geyser, but it can combo in many situations Power Geyser wouldn't be able to. Also, it can be max canceled into his NeoMax. Terry no longer shouts "Are you okay!?" when the move starts up, but most self-respecting Terry players will shout it anyway.
(EX) = qcfx2+BD - EX version does more damage and goes through projectiles. Great full-screen punish.
- Max Cancel-able
- Hit Detection: High
- B/D damage: 90,90 [total=180]; EX damage: 90,30x4,90 [total=300]
Neomax
Trinity Geyser = (qcfx2+AC) - Terry raises both fists behind his head and, after a dramatic pause, slams both fists to the ground. A series of successive power geysers travel across the screen, although the move can only hit a maximum of three times. It's a great NeoMax against mid-screen opponents (and can even be followed up with Burn Knuckle under the right circumstances). However, against cornered opponents it's completely inadvisable, since it'll only hit once.
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 150x3 [total=450]

Strategies
Far Range
At Far Range, Terry can play the "shoto-game". In this sense, you use your fireballs to keep them out. If they hop at you, use st.A or far D to poke them out of the air. If they roll, you can run up and poke them on their recovery with d.C's superior far range or your sweep. Remember, you can always cancel your sweep into fireball. From long range, there's a number of things you can do when your opponent full jumps. If they full jump, you can easily charge Rising Tackle and hit them out of the air. If they're running in from far range and you expect them to jump, you can also throw out A or C Burn Knuckle. C Burn Knuckle is a lot easier to react to, but has longer range which means you can cover the full length of the floor. The top choice to cover the full length of the ground is EX Burn Knuckle or Buster Wolf. EX Burn Knuckle has a better hit box, but Buster Wolf is a lot faster.
When playing the fireball war, Terry's EX Power wave will eat atleast 3 normal fireballs. The best part is even if it ate a few fireballs, if your opponent lands on the fireball or rolls into it, it'll still hit the full 3 times. The fact that it moves so slow is a bonus because it's a longer threat on the field as well as gives you a chance to respond to it if they try to jump or roll it. For the most part, use specials to poke people out of the air until they come to you.
If you're trying to get in, your best option is to jump in. You could use D crackshoot to cover the air space and its recovery isn't so bad on whiff. If you know your opponent, exercise caution and approach grounded opponent's with your longer range st.B or poke them out of the air with other normals as you get closer.
Mid Range
Mid range with Terry can be a make or break area. This is the range where throwing fireballs is not a good idea because someone can easily hop in on you for damage. However, you're far enough that you can still use your far normals. This is where you get the most bang for your buck with Terry's great and fast normals. You can poke people pretty easy with st.C. Remember that you can super cancel st.C on hit. It's a very good thing to know and to use because any extra damage can mean you winning or you losing if you don't. St.D is a great normal for anti-air and it hits low enough that it'll hit standing opponents. People can duck far D so be careful of that.
Make use of some normals that are special cancellable as well. St.A and d.A is cancellable at any range, even whiff cancellable. St.B is whiff cancellable only for crackshoot, but that works out very well because st.B is pretty far range. Some might walk or run into its range and get poked, allowing you to crackshoot for free. Terry's sweep is whiff cancellable as well as his st.CD. You can use Terry's long sweep to kind of poke at people or make them trigger happy, then cancel into a far moving special like crackshoot.
For people that are not respecting Terry's proximity and throw fireballs, I would suggest using C version power wave. Those people that are confident in their fireball game even from close range will be surprised because C version power wave goes through other fireballs and causes a soft knockdown. If they're not ready to tech, you can run in and get a cross up situation or just get in close range where you can shine. If you cancel into crackshoot, you usually can usually catch them and it puts you in close range. Against grapplers, I'd suggest neutral jumping up to avoid being thrown if you attempted this, but if someone is blocking low and you hit them with crackshoot (D version), a well timed st.C will stuff them because Terry is +2 on block in that situation.
From this range as well, you can go on the offensive in the air. Jump D is pretty long range and sets you up for a cross up if you super jump over them. Air to air, I'd suggest jump CD or jump B as they have horizontal hitboxes.
Close Range
This is where Terry is the most dangerous. Close range, Terry can do a lot of serious damage. His st.C and st.D are all very fast and can lead into full combos. You can keep poking someone with d.B, d.A and run in right after to keep the pressure on your opponent. You can mix up your attack strings, but keep at it with light attacks for the most part.
List of light strings: d.B, d.A...Run up
d.B, d.A, d.B, st.B...Run up
d.B, d.B, st.B...Run up
In any of those light strings, you can end with st.B into st.CD. There's very little room for people to respond, especially if you're really close to them! Since st.CD is cancellable on block, you can keep up the pressure and push them with specials. Powerwave is a good ender to pressure with and leave you pretty safe. However, crackshoot is -2 for the B version and -1 if the opponent is standing for the D version. Terry is at +2 frame advantage if someone blocks crackshoot low. You can set this up on block with low B strings into st.B D crackshoot. You can throw out a sweep and cancel it into df+C into D crackshoot. You can even cancel the sweep straight into the crackshoot. It allows you to keep the pressure on especially if they're not sure how to respond. You can hop straight up and press D to catch people who want to hit you with a throw or do a meaty st.C to stuff any attempt to counter attack you. It's a strong move, but with a big weakness. Most people can lower their hitbox by doing low Bs or sweeps so don't abuse it, catch them off guard.
In midscreen, on hit with st.C or D, the best thing you can do is hit them with df+C and burn knuckle. On block, hitting with powerwave or crackshoot are the best options.
Cornered Opponent
When you have someone cornered, you're usually at an advantage and disadvantage with Terry. One advantage is you can do a no stock combo in the corner. This is good when you want to finish off people and keep them guessing. In the corner, you can also get aggressive. You can hop in and go for the high-low mix ups, maybe even empty hop throw or jump-in into his EX crackshoot if you know they're trying to block for lows. Another clear advantage is the ability to guardbreak. Terry has strong normals and pressuring tools in his D Crackshoot, his EX Power wave, and more. If you hop in on someone, you can go for your jump D but land and do a sweep. From there, you cancel it into df+C and D Crackshoot. Unless they react fast, they won't block standing. If they weren't blocking low at all, they get hit! You immediately press C and throw out an EX power wave for more pressure. From this position, you can jump in and do any string for a guard break. Terry can really run you down.
Another advantage to cornering your opponent, but still maintaining pressure, is your anti-air options. Cornering your opponent with Terry gives you 3 moves, not including specials that give you the opportunity to snag people trying to move out. You throw in a block string or get a knockdown, back up, and throw a far st.D or a far st.C. Both have really long range and can hit people as they try to jump. Not only that, they hurt a lot for 80, 70 damage respectively. df+C is a great anti-air and even more so in the corner with hop happy people. You keep pressuring them and they try to jump, your df+C will be ready for them every time even if they super jump.
The disadvantages are abound though. If you run someone to the corner, your power output is garbage. Terry does not get much out of HD mode in the corner. He can cancel easily, but the combo won't do any real damage. Also, EX DMs like EX Power Geyser and EX Buster Wolf won't do the full hits off a corner only HD combo. Means you're being jipped out of some serious damage. The most irritating disadvantage is cornering your opponent means your Neomax is useless. It'll hit once, maybe twice, but not the full 3 hits you want.
Cornered
When YOU are cornered, you also have an advantage as well as a disadvantage surprisingly! Your disadvantage is your lack of movement. To make some of Terry's specials safe, you need to give yourself some room to space them out. In the corner, that's not possible. Unless you see someone jump, I'd go for pressuring them with low B's to get out of the corner or walk up to tick throw them. If you see someone jump, bust an EX Rising Tackle for their troubles. It's 4 frames start up and one meter, but it's completely invincible. However, DPs can be safe jumped (People jump at you and land before your active frames of your move come out), so it's possible some characters can out pace you.
The clear advantage to putting Terry in the corner is like backing a rabid wolf into a corner. They're gonna come out strong and fast. All of Terry's DMs, EX DMs, even his Neomax will hit for full damage. This also means something simple like a simple st.D, f+A, [HDA], st.D, f+A, qcb+A, [HDC] qcb, hcf+AC, [MC[ qcfx2+AC will net you 935 damage. Even for two bars, he can go into an HD combo and still destroy a lot of life. If you catch someone slipping, you can go into a d.B, d.A, d.BC activation for Terry to get an HD combo off a low. You can also catch them off an unsafe move and let'em have it.
With No Meter/No Drive
With no meter, Terry is still a pretty beasty person. Position yourself either in far screen with fireballs or midscreen at first. Once you score a knockdown or you see they're respecting your space, you go in on them hard. Don't let them off easy. Use d.B, st.B, st.CD into a whiff cancelled crackshoot or power wave to keep them pressured. Keep on them with high lows, rushing in with low Bs. Once you get your first stock, you're still not out of the woods yet so keep digging for hits or forcing them to block till you have some drive. Stick to normals for anti-air, but if they're not respecting your space or jumping full on at you, hit them with a rising tackle. A is faster, but C has full body invicibility on start up. People who want to pressure you after they knock you down will eat it.
With 1+ Meter/No Drive
With 1 meter and no drive, you're still pretty good. 1 bar can be used defensively for an EX rising tackle or a Power Geyser for those that want to jump in and you want to make them pay for it. If you feel like you're having problems getting in, you can get back and throw a fireball. From there, you can do a buster wolf or EX Burn Knuckle to catch them if they jumped or rolled. You can get even more offensive by throwing in an EX Power wave. It moves slow, but eats up projectiles. Opponents that don't jump it will eat 3 hits and be pinned down. Opponents that block it are still pinned down long enough for you to get in on them.
On counter hit, you can get an EX Power Geyser to combo into a Buster Wolf. That's some big meter, but you're still going to be limited no matter what you do. A few bars of stock are still good for Terry for poking and getting in, but as JuiceboxAbel says "You need both butter and bread to make some toast!".
With No Meter/50%-100% Drive
With 50% to 100% drive, you're still half in there. For 50% drive, you can get in your B crackshoot in mid screen, but you won't be able to follow it up with anything other than normals. My suggestion is use st.B and cancel that into A power wave. You'll hit them on the way down and the power wave will be properly timed to make them block it or take the hit on the way down. This is a pretty nice reset as well because when they land, they recover standing. Means you can rush in before they can react or get a chance to recollect themselves from being hit with a combo. Resets aren't bad, utilize them for that extra damage and mixup potential!
With full drive, you can go into an HD combo. The midscreen combo is fairly complicated. Timing is a serious issue with that combo. However, in the corner, you can get upwards of 600 damage for no meter. That's not bad at all! Push them to the corner and get in with that HD combo. If you had meter previously and find you only have 1, but need to use it to get in, use it to go for a guard break situation. If you are pressuring them with crackshoot and they're just blocking, hit a st.C into EX power wave and get the jump-in into HD activation. You'll still get the 600 damage without having to trick your opponent into not blocking. So far, no stock drive cancel combos don't do a lot of damage and are a pretty big waste.
With 1+ Meter/50%-100% Drive
With meter and drive, your BnB combos are all open to you. With 3+ bars, you can get in for some HD combos from midscreen and make them eat a lot of damage for just a few hits. For 1-2 bars, I'd go for an HD combo in the corner. It's easier to hit and definitely more damaging. In midscreen with 50% bar, you can still do some nasty damage. If you're worried about timing or want to do more damage, instead of finishing your => qcb+A, [DC] qcb+B, d~u+AC with the EX Rising Tackle, you can do Buster Wolf or EX Buster wolf. Both will do a lot of damage and hurt even more so if you got the meter to use. Remember, with Terry, you don't play with your food. If you have the meter, use it! He's able to build it back, but it's never good to leave someone out long enough to do more damage to you. Get the max damage you can get in a situation with Terry.
In terms of neutral game, drive and meter are fairly the same as the above sections. Just try to get in the damage now that you've got the tools to use it.
Best Team Position?
Terry is a very, very versatile character albeit a bit situational. For beginners, most players would choose for Terry to put Terry as a point guard middle character. Even if you're advanced, Terry is still a good middle road character because he needs drive in order to do combos and that's not easy for him to build if you're not used to the game or him in general. As you understand Terry, he can take on the first or last position. Terry can be very defensive and as well as bust open people with his specials. As long as you know the options you have and what's the best way to get in on your opponent, you don't need meter to deal damage to a person.
That's why if you feel like you know Terry, can use his normals, and have a strong idea of how to get into HD mode, you can play him first or last at best.
