You can can combo into Power Geyser from any of this stuff, and it does just a bit more than a D Power Dunk ender. Since Terry is used as a battery, usually you won't be using it, but being aware of this combo option is good.

I would recommend staying away from f+A in combos. It messes up the distance for Power Dunk or sj.D resets off Power Charge, and the damage sucks. Good for block strings though.

Introduction

Terry is a true-blue red-blooded American who likes Football, pizza, and beer. Since he is not Japanese, he isn't a top tier character, but he comes very close.

Gameplay Overview

Terry is a mid-to-close range pressure character, focusing on chunky block strings, guard breaking, and raw brute force rather than mixups. He is just under the top tier, and a good solid character for beginners to start in my opinion. He doesn't have many uses for meter, so he is best used as a battery/point character (ie the first character on your team). He doesn't require strong execution; the hardest common thing he has is d/f+C combos.

Combos

Some standard combos everyone should know.

- cl.C (2 hits),d/f+C (optional) xx B Power Charge (hcf+B)/Power Geyser (qcb,f+C)

- cr.B,cr.A,d/f+C xx B Power Charge (hcf+B)/A Burn Knuckle (qcb+A)/Power Geyser (qcb,f+C)

- cl.D,d/f+C (optional) xx Power Charge (hcf+B)/A Burn Knuckle (qcb+A)/Power Geyser (qcb,f+C)

Anytime you land a B Power Charge (hcf+B), you have 3 options:

- Sj.D, which is the least damage, but forces a reset and puts you right next them with a lot of advantage.

- Cancel (xx) into C Rising Tackle (dp+C. This only does a bit more damage than the above, and is a normal knockdown, which means they have the choice to roll or stay down. I don't recommend it.

- D Power Dunk (dp+D). This only works if you're close. This does the best damage and forces a slam, so you can set up whatever you want; a crossup, meaty, short hop mixup, whatever. Usually the only situations where it doesn't connect is either of the first two combos I listed after a jump-in. You can substitute a close D xx Power Charge (hcf+B) after a jump-in midscreen to connect it.

The only reason I list Burn Knuckle as a combo ender is because it's much easier to cancel from d/f+C than Power Charge. You should use Burn Knuckle at first for the cr.B combo, but practice comboing into Power Charge, as it's always a better combo option.

You can can combo into Power Geyser from any of this stuff, and it does just a bit more than a D Power Dunk ender. Since Terry is used as a battery, usually you won't be using it, but being aware of this combo option is good.

I would recommend staying away from f+A in combos. It messes up the distance for Power Dunk or sj.D resets off Power Charge, and the damage sucks. Good for block strings though.
