As someone who mains Terry, one thing I never hear people talk about is how insane his dair is. Does tons of damage, and the spike hit box not only kills stupidly early, but sends at an angle where you can just die from a spike onstage. His spike can kill you at the top platform on battlefield, that’s how insane it is.
The reason I picked up terry was because I spiked someone from top platform on battlefield and that shit was a 45 degree angle. That was a BRUTAL spike
As a Mexican KoF player for over a 15 years, it fills me with so much joy to see all the love our boy Terry has gotten. It's crazy to see how well Terry's moves translate to Smash, although it makes a lot more sense when you remember Sakurai was a KoF player and many of Smash's mechanics were inspired by it. If we ever get a Smash 6, I really hope Terry becomes part of the base roster. (And with how collab friendly SNK is, there's a good chance of it happening.)
Perhaps the most pick up and play FGC character, he has unique mechanics that can matchup check the opponent but great tools for almost every situation, really one of his only weaknesses is recovery. Very underrated character imo.
Also, don't forget that Terry's command imputs are oddly intuitive. Command Up-B is basically a charge move, you need to crouch for half a second to get its full height and power, but that can be acheived while doing Crack Shoot or Jab 1 and 2. It is a barrier, but not unlike other tight combo fighters like Fox or pre-nerf ZSS, just with Imputs instead of timing.
@@resorufin6164 When trying to recover, because Up-B are mostly used for that. I know it doesn't grab ledge but having a partially intangible option with hitbox is always good to have.
I had a teammate on my HS’s esports team that played Terry, and when me and the rest of the team asked him why he played Terry, he made a good point in saying how Terry is much more adaptable then Kazuya or Ken. He has so many combo routes for the opponent to consider, especially with Go, that my friend used Terrys fear factor to his advantage with some insane mind games in conjunction with killing at 40% off one mistake
After studying more about SNK, it’s franchises, it’s characters and of course their mascot, the more I understood the appeal of the Terry and the company his from and encourages me to wanting to play him in Smash and maybe someday try out other SNK games like the King of Fighters or the upcoming Fatal Fury game. And up to this point I’m really glad that he made it Smash. 😊
I know alot of people have mixed feelings about the FGC characters but if i had to choose a favourite it will definetly be Terry. He is visually really cool with the super moves and specials and the voice acting from Takashi Kondo really adds alot charm to him.
In addition to being somewhat easy and more forgiving than the other FGC characters, hes got to hands-down be the most fun to play. As a Terry main, even online hes insanely fun. Both in tournament and on Elite, hes such a fun character to play, whether empty-headed or full concentration.
It has nothing to do with his popularity but i think its neat how Terry after he released got basically 0 buffs or nerfs for the rest of Ultimate's life. They pretty much nailed it on launch
Something I learned only recently is that terry has a command input version of his up special. It’s a vertical charge move, meaning you hold down for the right amount of frames and then push the joystick up and press A at the same time. It isn’t in any of terry’s movelist guides online so I find it weird how no one noticed.
I've never been much of a traditional fighting game fan, but I was a fan of Metal slug, which was made by SNK, who made Fatal fury and king of fighters. As I've known, SNK have always been a rather obscure company in the West, making it pretty rare for them to gain a huge following outside of Central and South America and Asia. Being from the UK, we're not really known as big SNK enjoyers. But seeing SNK's work, their character in Terry be introduced and to CRITICAL acclaim, it's made me very happy. The way people liked his character, his playstyle, his overall DLC package with 50 songs (with lots of remixes and dope tunes) and a cool map with lots of well made cameo characters, I'm so happy at the reception and with the idea that SNK could be in mind for if we ever get a Smash 6 as a go-to for characters and inspiration. I guess a lot of it could be due to Sakurai's fanboyism, SNK being one of his major inspirations to make a fighting game, he put a lot of special care into the DLC pack and SNK let em go nuts with the soundtracks. Plus as the probably most balanced FGC whose also quite fun to play and engaging to play against, while being balanced (Most tier lists I seen put him in the 25-30 range, solid A-tier) relatively for a DLC fighter, it's great to see some people who didn't know of his game's existence before smash, now they like him too. This obscured (in the west) character that very few people were asking for, managed to get in and somehow out do even the characters smash wanted most in terms of reception, such as Banjo and Sora, fan favourites who despite their hype, weren't as well received or used as much. I know this is a book of a comment, but I'll leave it on this: I hope SNK become the Square Enix of smash. From Smash 1, Melee, Brawl and 4's release, to my knowledge, there were 0 SE reps. By the time 4 closed, there was 1. Ultimate ended with 4 reps from 3 different franchises. I hope SNK can have 1 character release halfway through ultimate and go on to have plenty of reps for the next game, they deserve it frankly. They have everything I can think of to make it in: Good music, good locations for maps, tons of characters, FGC and not, even bosses if they bring back a main campaign again. If I had a lone choice, I'd so choose to have them bring in the Ikari team, a swap in/out team of Leona, Ralf and Clark, FGCs with a pokemon trainer team system. This would have a HUGE range of representation (Clark and Ralf were iirc in an old SNK game called Ikari Warriors, Leona shown up originally in KOF and alongside Ralf and Clark and all 3 are playable in Metal Slug XX) and unique potential. Of course it's a long shot, but regardless of what does happen, I hope SNK can collab with smash again.
As a Terry main, I can confirm I am heavily carried by him, which is fun (for me), and all of the things you stated in this video is true! Thank you for finally making a Terry video!
I just watched your last video on the decline of Ultimate's popularity which was posted a month ago today. You posted a new video the same day. I summoned you. LET'S GOOO!
After watching this video i am so happy i took the time to cuz i mained sonic for 3 years and i just wasnt having much fun with him anymore but last year i tried out Terry cuz he looked fun (plus i was a fan of riddles) and i have been having a blast playing this game but recently ive just not been doing well with terry but this video just gave me so many new ideas how to play him and what it takes to get better much respect cuz all these points were hella valid imma use rhis video to go improve bless up brother
Terry is basically FGC Game'N'Watch with more range but with an actual disadvantage state. He can literally just mash to win and get away with it because of how safe and hard hitting his moves are.
Some of his moves are definitely not safe, his up b has pretty weak kill power compared to someone like kazuya and surprisingly little mac and crackshot is definitely punishable. A few other moves of his are rather punishable but are rarely used like his smash attacks and his up tilt
ah yes game and watch who is known for his excellent out of shield and juggling, of which terry is lackluster in both?? even ignoring they you said he’s different so where is the similarities other than mashing which is every ultimate character 😭
As a Terry main I have been waiting for this video lol I really agree on Terry always having a chance. I have been trying to pickup a secondary, but every time I try I always think that though the Terry matchup would be harder, I have more options to win. It really feels like I can solo main Terry against even his worst matchups. Are there any characters that even cover his bad matchups? A lot of them are just the top characters that are everyone’s bad matchups.
Overall he is easy to understand and really good to use at Low and Mid Level, but at High and Top Level people know the Terry MU better and his recovery and neutral becomes a lot weaker.
Tecnically this Terry is from Fatal Fury, but the trailer and the cameos says other thing cofcof*¨KOF*cofcof. Terry is one of the characters that you can learn how to play really fast and gives you a high reward quickly. Also he is so fun to play and watch
Terry is the most played character in Spain BY A LONG SHOT. So if you asked in my country "Why does EVERYONE play Terry?" the answer would actually be really simple: ANDRESFN
Terry is already notoriously popular in more Spanish speaking areas, so it's not much of a surprise to see. In fact, most Terry reveal reaction trailers that were actually hyped for him outside Japan were mostly Latin Hispanic channels.
Thinking back to the reason I chose to main terry, it was because me and my brother bought the pack for the stage since we thought it would be cool, and after messing with terry a little bit I loved doing all of the button inputs. That is what inspired me to play mostly fighting game characters.
I never mained him but he’s such a fun character to play as, I think he has the perfect mix of an FGC and a regular smash fighter. He’s super hype in a similar way that captain falcon is with flashy powerful moves that don’t feel like BS
powerdunk isn’t that great against horizontal projectiles because the i frames when rising is tight and often times the spacing won’t line up of the timing to do it for the i frames and to actually hit the opponent on the landing. doing it from the air isn’t that good because of its high startup so it’s easy to react. also because of terry’s floatiness, his aerial approaches have very similar timings, which means the opponents mental stack isn’t that overwhelmed when antiairing him. so the mixup of and having to react to powerdunk is that difficult as it might be in a vacuum. his spotdodge and spotdodge attack isn’t that “impossible” to punish. it’s about as hard as a regular spotdodge punish. with range it covers either options you can also shield in a window when the cancel or attack comes but before a regular spot dodge would end. removing the mixup and the best they get is a shield pressure normal from a spot dodge cancel normal. he also doesn’t get full body intangibility on the attack but only upper body. one thing i’ll add is while yes terry is generally favoured pressuring on shield but there is also a lot of nuance of when he does the cancel, the terry player has to adjust depending on when he thinks the opponent will do the oos to beat it with the cancel, and if changes across matchups. then if the opponent shields it all they can get a decently hard punish on him. still a pretty good video though, atleast you didn’t mention his slow platform drop which isn’t actually a big of a deal as many top players make it out to be. 🤔
When this series started with characters actually over-represented, the "Why EVERYONE Plays" moniker fit, and rightfully drew attention to the question - why DO so many people play this character? Is it just that they're OP? But now, getting down to characters like Terry, it feels like its just clickbait or at least very overstated. "Why people play Terry?" is a more reasonable question to poise and answer than "Why EVERYONE plays Terry?". Still enjoyed the video and left a like to support, but wanted to leave my feedback that the video titles kind of grate on me when I see them.
Kazua being the strongest by default due to his *potential* seems to be very accurate to the source material. Where that's how he's designed. Only top players can do his stuff semi consistently. At least that's what I've heard but I don't play tekken lmao.
Eh, Mockrock can get the EWGF input at least some of the time, and he's not a Kazuya main or even secondary/pocket character, and given it's ludicrous attributes, landing EWGF is often enough for a new player that's skilled with the EWGF input to get 30-50%+ damage, or rarely take a stock, which is very broken. Yes, Kazuya rewards skilled/tryhard players heavily, which is another issue, but one big one is that to a large extent, learning the EWGF input is basically enough to make you viable in Tournaments, because the execution barrier isn't as much of an issue as the Smash developers thought it would, and it's execution is actually easier in Smash Ultimate than in Tekken (don't quote me on that). There are many other issues with Kazuya's kit, but EWGF symbolizes so much of what makes Kazuya broken and bad.
Maybe this is just me, but I don't consider Power Dunk a burst option. Sure, it makes you move a lot but the wind up only works if you are right on top of someone, you don't actually move high enough to jump over most projectiles and those you do require tight timing, and you don't move enough horizontally fast enough to catch someone who is playing defensively. I love Power Dunk and it has great uses as a combo finisher or a recovery mix-up. If I need a burst option, I go for Dash Attack or Crack Shoot unless I am YOLOing a Buster Wolf which I die from lot.
The only thing I still despise of the FGC characters is their auto turn around. Auto turn around in Smash is awkward to play as and frustrating to play against. A big part of Smash are these left-right mix ups on shield and being able to mix up defensive options, like rolling in or out, but playing against a character with auto turn around negates these options. At least none of them really have great tools to get around zoning but projectile spam is a boring playstyle. I do know the auto turn around does have it's weaknesses though. They don't turn in shield, in air nor does it happen frame 1. That and FGC characters tend to not have easy access to their back air. These aren't really that much of a weakness but it's there.
I think my story with terry is what sakurai intended.I used to want to play ken(since my best friend plays ryu) but I always found him difficult to play and get into.Then through the internet I was directed to terry who basically fixes everyrhing that I hated about ken.Easy bnbs,no light and heavy version bs and can rely on a stray hit playstyle if needs be.
Vars! You forgot to mention that SNK games, especially where Terry Came from, was the original inspiration that gave birth to smash bros as a franchise. He was a hardcore SNK Arcade vamer back in the day. But the reason he made smash bros was because he beat the shit out of a casual gamer. Here is the spicy part. He was playing against a boyfriend and girlfriend duo. He "owned" the girlfriend playing King of Fighters SO MERCILESSLY that he also embarrassed the boyfriend as well. Hence why Smash Bros was built as a casual and easy to approach party game with elements of SNK fighting games. That would technically King of Fighters and Super Smash Bros have an indirect Uncle and Nephew relationship as video games. At least in my view.
Reading some of the comments of people upset at Terry makes me smile, haha. There's a good amount of characters better than Terry but he's an FGC so Smash players cry like the children they are.
@@XioXioli never mentioned something about inputs, if anything, smash players are delusional thinking a character is difficult to play because of inputs, as if inputs alone can win a match. Stay salty like the bothered little man that you are but people complaining is something that happens in ALL relevant competitive games, not just smash.
I was hoping it was Marco Rossi from metal slug when the trailer revealed terry. till I try him release date and wow he became main cause he is soo op.
He super cool. I also feel like he’s the “easiest” FGC character. It feels like his command inputs leave more room for error as opposed to Ryu, Ken, and Kazuya
I've maintained for a long time now that Terry is wildly broken since he's so much easier to execute his combos with. Glad to see people are coming around to that fact.
Because he has auto turn around and favorable broken hitboxes. On top of great kill power and heavy weight. He also asks his opponents if they are ok before literally Conor McGregoring them in the face.
I hate all of the FGC characters in smash but Terry is the least frustrating, he feels the most "fair" out of them. Losing to him mostly means being outplayed. It wasn't just just jank. And the matchup is actually fun, he's not a slow touch of death character that feels invincible and broken on the ground but has to be avoided and cheesed off stage for an easy stock.
Every time someone talking about a Smash character who cross over from another fighting game, it always reminds me the immeasurable disappointment that Sakurai didn't put Morrigan into Smash.
I've said before that Riddles is carried by how broken Kazuya is and people will tell me "uhm ACTUALLY he plays terry too :D" and I'm like "but he's also broken. And brainless." lmao
@@user-be3qc7re9o He's certainly heavily skilled, which is why I hesitate to call him carried, but yes he does get major benefits from Kazuya and Terry being quite broken and strong. And Terry, and to a lesser extent, Kazuya can be carried by new players due to a lot of their broken moves or combos.
@@user-be3qc7re9o While results obviously matter, we can't solely rely on results, because A, most people don't play tournaments, and B, when compared to the likes of Steve or Kazuya, a character like Terry simply can't compete well without entirely becoming like Smash 4 Bayo or Brawl Meta Knight. We don't have enough results to completely determine how powerful characters are, and we thus need to look at characteristics that predict that a character will be played a lot, or be broken, and Terry hits a lot of the checkboxes for being played a lot, especially in Latin America, and being broken.
@@sharmakefarah2064 "We don't have enough results to completely determine how powerful characters are." Terry has been out for years and has gotten no buffs nor nerfs since his inception. You really telling me that we don't have enough? If he were really "broken" we would have seen at least ONE Major win, when that hasn't happened.
This was my original Steve, it was my least favorite character to play against and it wasn’t even close. Terry Carries. I won’t say that there aren’t players with incredible fundies and game sense who play terry, but the outplayed to cheese ratio has been nothing short of egregious in my experience.
Terry just needs a better recovery, holding down b for him to have the full range is dumb, just reduce the damage and even take his invulnerability but dont reduce the distance, and even when charged it should go a bit further and a bit more running speed since his reach isn't so amazing
90% of the video is just riddles 😂 Terry will forever be stuck in mid or mid high tier because he is 💩 compared to the high tiers, has really bad recovery, and it’s much slower to do input commands vs characters like pyra/mythra, sonic, ect. Because everything can be spammed and no inputs required. Same with Kazuya. Broken yet only one person can barely make it in tournament with him 😂 They are extremely high skill barrier.
I was going to be a Terry main since Fatal Fury was my first fighter before Street Fighter and Terry had that wolf in him. His reveal to the point how his character looks is pinnacle design, and even looks better than his KOF variations in the last couple of years. Terry is sub character for me because I get tired of doing Power Geyser when I'm really just doing the input for Power Dunk. Costed me hundreds of matches and I'm just sick of it. The simple inputs for supers is ridiculous and I would hope one day we can turn them off, but it's no big deal. Been representing Byleth the whole time and having fun with them. Multi-weapon users are definitely my favorite types of characters due to my childhood with Devil May Cry, Rave Master, Blazblue, and a few others. Great video and thank you for the coverage.
FGC = Fighting Game Character. FGC Character = Fighting Game Character Character. I'm adding this to my list of acronym pet peeves, along with "PIN Number" and "ATM Machine".
@@N12015 it’s intentionally misleading to include extremely low level play and then say terry is very popular, include only very high level clips of play Terry is more popular at higher levels amongst FGC toolbox players, ie those who have 2-4 mains amongst the 4 FGC characters There are literally only 2 notable Terry players in the state of Georgia and one of them is a toolbox player. Be for real
@@user-be3qc7re9othis depends heavily on the region. Terry is more popular in Europe and Mexico, and the shotos (Ken and Ryu) seem to be more common in the states

Perhaps the most pick up and play FGC character, he has unique mechanics that can matchup check the opponent but great tools for almost every situation, really one of his only weaknesses is recovery. Very underrated character imo.
This is exactly why for me

I played him in SNK vs. CAPCOM. he's kinda fun despite being a basic person guy.
Because he's sick to play AND watch, like a FGC Captain Falcon.
11:40 its even better than utilt. Its his spotdodge attack where he basically gets a dp out of spotdodging into a combo lol
KOF and Fatal Furry are both great franchises and are good at what they do💯
powerdunk isn’t that great against horizontal projectiles because the i frames when rising is tight and often times the spacing won’t line up of the timing to do it for the i frames and to actually hit the opponent on the landing.
doing it from the air isn’t that good because of its high startup so it’s easy to react. also because of terry’s floatiness, his aerial approaches have very similar timings, which means the opponents mental stack isn’t that overwhelmed when antiairing him. so the mixup of and having to react to powerdunk is that difficult as it might be in a vacuum.
his spotdodge and spotdodge attack isn’t that “impossible” to punish. it’s about as hard as a regular spotdodge punish. with range it covers either options you can also shield in a window when the cancel or attack comes but before a regular spot dodge would end. removing the mixup and the best they get is a shield pressure normal from a spot dodge cancel normal.
he also doesn’t get full body intangibility on the attack but only upper body.
one thing i’ll add is while yes terry is generally favoured pressuring on shield but there is also a lot of nuance of when he does the cancel, the terry player has to adjust depending on when he thinks the opponent will do the oos to beat it with the cancel, and if changes across matchups. then if the opponent shields it all they can get a decently hard punish on him.
still a pretty good video though, atleast you didn’t mention his slow platform drop which isn’t actually a big of a deal as many top players make it out to be. 🤔
i main terry cause I mained Terry in all Fatal fury/KOF games.
I don’t fight Terry often on elite smash
The one day I looked up hit boxes and saw how disgustingly disjointed Terry's fair is. He's so good
When this series started with characters actually over-represented, the "Why EVERYONE Plays" moniker fit, and rightfully drew attention to the question - why DO so many people play this character? Is it just that they're OP?
But now, getting down to characters like Terry, it feels like its just clickbait or at least very overstated. "Why people play Terry?" is a more reasonable question to poise and answer than "Why EVERYONE plays Terry?".
Still enjoyed the video and left a like to support, but wanted to leave my feedback that the video titles kind of grate on me when I see them.
Kazua being the strongest by default due to his *potential* seems to be very accurate to the source material. Where that's how he's designed. Only top players can do his stuff semi consistently. At least that's what I've heard but I don't play tekken lmao.
Eh, Mockrock can get the EWGF input at least some of the time, and he's not a Kazuya main or even secondary/pocket character, and given it's ludicrous attributes, landing EWGF is often enough for a new player that's skilled with the EWGF input to get 30-50%+ damage, or rarely take a stock, which is very broken.
Yes, Kazuya rewards skilled/tryhard players heavily, which is another issue, but one big one is that to a large extent, learning the EWGF input is basically enough to make you viable in Tournaments, because the execution barrier isn't as much of an issue as the Smash developers thought it would, and it's execution is actually easier in Smash Ultimate than in Tekken (don't quote me on that). There are many other issues with Kazuya's kit, but EWGF symbolizes so much of what makes Kazuya broken and bad.
Great Video!
Maybe this is just me, but I don't consider Power Dunk a burst option. Sure, it makes you move a lot but the wind up only works if you are right on top of someone, you don't actually move high enough to jump over most projectiles and those you do require tight timing, and you don't move enough horizontally fast enough to catch someone who is playing defensively. I love Power Dunk and it has great uses as a combo finisher or a recovery mix-up. If I need a burst option, I go for Dash Attack or Crack Shoot unless I am YOLOing a Buster Wolf which I die from lot.
The only thing I still despise of the FGC characters is their auto turn around. Auto turn around in Smash is awkward to play as and frustrating to play against.
A big part of Smash are these left-right mix ups on shield and being able to mix up defensive options, like rolling in or out, but playing against a character with auto turn around negates these options. At least none of them really have great tools to get around zoning but projectile spam is a boring playstyle.
I do know the auto turn around does have it's weaknesses though. They don't turn in shield, in air nor does it happen frame 1. That and FGC characters tend to not have easy access to their back air. These aren't really that much of a weakness but it's there.
I think my story with terry is what sakurai intended.I used to want to play ken(since my best friend plays ryu) but I always found him difficult to play and get into.Then through the internet I was directed to terry who basically fixes everyrhing that I hated about ken.Easy bnbs,no light and heavy version bs and can rely on a stray hit playstyle if needs be.
I was waiting for this one!
Vars!
You forgot to mention that SNK games, especially where Terry Came from, was the original inspiration that gave birth to smash bros as a franchise.
He was a hardcore SNK Arcade vamer back in the day. But the reason he made smash bros was because he beat the shit out of a casual gamer.
Here is the spicy part. He was playing against a boyfriend and girlfriend duo. He "owned" the girlfriend playing King of Fighters SO MERCILESSLY that he also embarrassed the boyfriend as well.
Hence why Smash Bros was built as a casual and easy to approach party game with elements of SNK fighting games.
That would technically King of Fighters and Super Smash Bros have an indirect Uncle and Nephew relationship as video games. At least in my view.
Reading some of the comments of people upset at Terry makes me smile, haha. There's a good amount of characters better than Terry but he's an FGC so Smash players cry like the children they are.
You know one higher wrong doesn't erase another wrong, right?
@@Bike-chan There's absolutely nothing wrong with FGCs in Smash. Smash players just love to cry and complain. It's in their nature
@@XioXioli you act as if the "real" issues of terry don't come from being from a fighting game, don't act so salty when people complain.
@@Bike-chan Oh no, another cry baby Smash player. Do motion inputs upset you little kid?
@@XioXioli never mentioned something about inputs, if anything, smash players are delusional thinking a character is difficult to play because of inputs, as if inputs alone can win a match. Stay salty like the bothered little man that you are but people complaining is something that happens in ALL relevant competitive games, not just smash.
I was hoping it was Marco Rossi from metal slug when the trailer revealed terry. till I try him release date and wow he became main cause he is soo op.
He super cool. I also feel like he’s the “easiest” FGC character. It feels like his command inputs leave more room for error as opposed to Ryu, Ken, and Kazuya
Can we also note that his fighting style is canonically known as “Jeff’s Deadly Brawling Arts”? I mean cmon.
I like him because he's the only Mexican character in the game.
Is he?
He is hype
I tried playing Terry once upon a time, but b reversing crack shoot on accident almost put a hole in my tv
"Why Riddles Plays"
I've maintained for a long time now that Terry is wildly broken since he's so much easier to execute his combos with. Glad to see people are coming around to that fact.
I love playing him!!
Hehe funny “are you ok” go brrr
G&W when?
Because he has auto turn around and favorable broken hitboxes. On top of great kill power and heavy weight. He also asks his opponents if they are ok before literally Conor McGregoring them in the face.
Also, he's the coolest dude ever along side Captain Falcon
Love it when Vars3 curse out about things
everyone...? i think thats an overstatement.
I hate all of the FGC characters in smash but Terry is the least frustrating, he feels the most "fair" out of them. Losing to him mostly means being outplayed. It wasn't just just jank. And the matchup is actually fun, he's not a slow touch of death character that feels invincible and broken on the ground but has to be avoided and cheesed off stage for an easy stock.
Why No One Plays Simon/Richter Next?
Every time someone talking about a Smash character who cross over from another fighting game,
it always reminds me the immeasurable disappointment that Sakurai didn't put Morrigan into Smash.
A spot dodge move!?!
I've said before that Riddles is carried by how broken Kazuya is and people will tell me "uhm ACTUALLY he plays terry too :D" and I'm like "but he's also broken. And brainless." lmao
He really isn't carried.
He's the ONLY KAZUYA to win a Major and the ONLY Terry to beat every Top Player.
@@user-be3qc7re9o He's certainly heavily skilled, which is why I hesitate to call him carried, but yes he does get major benefits from Kazuya and Terry being quite broken and strong.
And Terry, and to a lesser extent, Kazuya can be carried by new players due to a lot of their broken moves or combos.
@sharmakefarah2064
And yet Terry has failed to win a Single Major with Riddles' best result with him going Solo is 17th.
@@user-be3qc7re9o While results obviously matter, we can't solely rely on results, because A, most people don't play tournaments, and B, when compared to the likes of Steve or Kazuya, a character like Terry simply can't compete well without entirely becoming like Smash 4 Bayo or Brawl Meta Knight.
We don't have enough results to completely determine how powerful characters are, and we thus need to look at characteristics that predict that a character will be played a lot, or be broken, and Terry hits a lot of the checkboxes for being played a lot, especially in Latin America, and being broken.
@@sharmakefarah2064
"We don't have enough results to completely determine how powerful characters are."
Terry has been out for years and has gotten no buffs nor nerfs since his inception.
You really telling me that we don't have enough?
If he were really "broken" we would have seen at least ONE Major win, when that hasn't happened.
A good suggestion would be to start another series called “Why everyone hates”, and the first episode centered around the belmonts
Can you do an episode about Corrin? always wanted to see her shine，there's MkLeo Sparg0,cosmos,Shadic and Neo so I think?she's pretty popular😊
This was my original Steve, it was my least favorite character to play against and it wasn’t even close. Terry Carries. I won’t say that there aren’t players with incredible fundies and game sense who play terry, but the outplayed to cheese ratio has been nothing short of egregious in my experience.
because if you press that big green button with the "A" on it a lotta times, you win!
Terry just needs a better recovery, holding down b for him to have the full range is dumb, just reduce the damage and even take his invulnerability but dont reduce the distance, and even when charged it should go a bit further and a bit more running speed since his reach isn't so amazing
Crazy how like I see NO Terry's where am I it's crazy
Why no one plays Yoshi next please because I have only seen him 4 times online within over 300 matches
12:15 AYO whats that falcos name
Why nobody plays: this game 😢
Lets gooooo my main Terry!
''Why EVERYONE Plays Terry?'' Because he's busted
short answer: his legs are swords n hes fun asl
90% of the video is just riddles 😂 Terry will forever be stuck in mid or mid high tier because he is 💩 compared to the high tiers, has really bad recovery, and it’s much slower to do input commands vs characters like pyra/mythra, sonic, ect. Because everything can be spammed and no inputs required. Same with Kazuya. Broken yet only one person can barely make it in tournament with him 😂 They are extremely high skill barrier.
Cause it terry from fatal fury
I was going to be a Terry main since Fatal Fury was my first fighter before Street Fighter and Terry had that wolf in him. His reveal to the point how his character looks is pinnacle design, and even looks better than his KOF variations in the last couple of years. Terry is sub character for me because I get tired of doing Power Geyser when I'm really just doing the input for Power Dunk. Costed me hundreds of matches and I'm just sick of it. The simple inputs for supers is ridiculous and I would hope one day we can turn them off, but it's no big deal. Been representing Byleth the whole time and having fun with them. Multi-weapon users are definitely my favorite types of characters due to my childhood with Devil May Cry, Rave Master, Blazblue, and a few others.
Great video and thank you for the coverage.
Great vid as always! Also, it was great meeting you at lmbm and playing you! I was the Ike/Sephiroth who played you for like an hour
Tldr: smash community is lazy and wants cheap wins.
This is pretty much the answer to any of these guy's videos in the future.
Skill issue
FGC = Fighting Game Character.
FGC Character = Fighting Game Character Character.
I'm adding this to my list of acronym pet peeves, along with "PIN Number" and "ATM Machine".
The C in FGC means "Community", not character
Terry is not that common my guy
In terms of FGCs in Smash, he is arguably the most used next to Kazuya.
Top 15 usage IS common, my guy.
@@N12015 it’s intentionally misleading to include extremely low level play and then say terry is very popular, include only very high level clips of play
Terry is more popular at higher levels amongst FGC toolbox players, ie those who have 2-4 mains amongst the 4 FGC characters
There are literally only 2 notable Terry players in the state of Georgia and one of them is a toolbox player. Be for real
@@user-be3qc7re9othis depends heavily on the region.
Terry is more popular in Europe and Mexico, and the shotos (Ken and Ryu) seem to be more common in the states
@@TylerCutts
His videos are geared toward High Levels of Play, which he has stated numerous times since his Joker Video.
Terry players try not to do that one combo every 5 goddamn seconds (IMPOSSIBLE!!)
I call Terry FGC Cloud
