One of the most iconic SNK characters, Terry has been with the King of Fighters series since its debut, and as always, is one of the simplest characters in the game. He has good damage on his bread-and-butters, but lacks somewhat in mixups and has generally average tools; don't let this discourage you, however, as he is a beginner-friendly all-rounder and works well for a starting pick.

Movelist

Normals

Standing (Close)

cl.A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Bar 20 Mid 3 5 5 2 0 A jab that can hit most opponents in a high or low state. It can be chained into itself, a light kick button, df+C, or cancelled into any Special Move.

cl.B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Bar 20 Mid 4 5 7 0 -2 A knee to the chest that can also hit crouching opponents. It is only chainable into itself or st.B, but can be cancelled into a Command Move or Special/Desperation Move (although only df+C combos from it).

cl.C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Bar 55 (40 + 15) Mid 3 10 (7 + 3) 15 -2 -4 A gut punch that hits twice and leans slightly on the unsafe side. Either hit of the punch is cancellable into a Command Move or Special and can be used to start or continue a high or middle-level combo.

cl.D	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Bar 55 Mid 4 4 22 -6 -8 A rather fast, but punishable upward kick. Despite its slow recovery, it can also be cancelled into Command Moves or Special Moves, giving it a similar use to cl.C but without the extra hit.

Standing (Far)

st.A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Bar 30 Mid 3 4 5 3 1 A light jab that can hit most standing or airborne opponents, making it one of Terry's better tools for stopping hops. It can chain into st.B and can be cancelled into Command or Special Moves, but cancels best into df+C.

st.B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Bar 20 Mid 5 4 9 -1 -3 A weak, but rather far kick from the left leg. This cannot be cancelled into anything, which makes it work better as a poke.

st.C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Bar 60 Mid 5 7 16 -3 -5 A far punch from the left arm. It is rather unsafe, but it can be cancelled into any Special Move.

st.D	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Bar 70 Mid 19 4 15 1 -1 A slow and moving kick that newer players may use on accident. It is rather safe, leaving Terry at the smallest advantage on hit, but will move him back when blocked and can be easily stopped.

st.CD	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Bar 70 Mid 14 3 21 Soft Knockdown -2 A standard Blowback attack that is a hop kick that moves Terry forward. Like others, it knocks down on hit, but it pushes Terry back when blocked; alongside this, it can also be whiff cancelled.

Crouching

cr.A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Bar 25 Mid 3 4 6 2 0 A crouching punch that is both chainable and cancellable. It mainly chains into light kicks, but can also be cancelled into any Command Move or Special Move, best cancelling into df+C.

cr.B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Bar 25 Low 3 3 8 1 -1 A low-hitting kick that chains into other light normals and can be whiff cancelled. Like other crouching normals, it can be cancelled into any Command Move or Special Move, with df+C being an ideal cancel option for combos.

cr.C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Bar 60 Mid 6 5 19 -4 -6 A slower crouching punch from the right arm. Can be cancelled into any Command Move or Special Move with ease, and furthermore whiff cancelled.

cr.D	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Advantage Block Advantage Guard Bar 70 Low 10 18 22 Soft Knockdown -12 A slow sweep kick that knocks the opponent down. It can be cancelled into any Command or Special Move, although the poor practicality of doing it on a successful hit may encourage the player to whiff cancel or cancel it when blocked.
