Terry Bogard is a downloadable newcomer in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate from the SNK fighting multiverse (commonly starring in Fatal Fury, and regular in The King of Fighters). He is classified as fighter #74. His inclusion was revealed in the September 4, 2019 Nintendo Direct. He was officially released on November 6, 2019 along with a video presenting him.

Attributes

Strengths

• Always faces the opponent in 1v1 battles, making his inputs easier to perform without misinputting and for punishing rolls and crossups by the opponent.
• Heavyweight, giving him good survivability.
• Can cancel most standard attacks with special moves, allowing Terry to possess incredible combo potential.
• Powerful neutral game and advantage state.
• Versatile projectile allows for set-ups and camping.
• During many attacks, his legs are invincible.
• Combos leading into super specials can kill very early.

Weaknesses

• Exploitable recovery, making it rather easy to edgeguard Terry if his options are read or aren't properly mixed up.
• Very punishable when recovering or mid-combos; specials have a somewhat laggy nature that can be countered if not played or timed well.
• Lacks a good zone-breaking tool.
• Super Specials require over 100% Damage to access, making it a double edged and risky state to pull off Supers.
• Like Ryu and Ken, can be difficult to utilize well due to his playstyle and control scheme, giving him a very high learning curve.

Trivia

• Terry's code name within the game's files is "dolly", a reference to this Transcontinental Railroad stage in Fatal Fury 2, Fatal Fury Special, and The King of Fighters XIV, which takes place on the dolly of a train.
• Terry's reveal trailer makes several references to other SNK games:
  • The opening references the intro to The King of Fighters '94, where Kyo Kusanagi grabs the invitation to the King of Fighters tournament
  • Ryo Sakazaki's segment is based on the intro to Art of Fighting 2
  • Andy Bogard and Joe Higashi's segment is based on the intro to Fatal Fury Special
  • Geese Howard falling from his tower is taken from his death scene in Fatal Fury: King of Fighters
  • Nakoruru's segment is based on the intro to Samurai Shodown V
  • Iori Yagami laughing after failing to take the invitation is his victory pose in The King of Fighters series
  • Terry's pose after successfully taking the invitation is taken from the intro to Real Bout Fatal Fury
• Terry's inclusion marks the second time Capcom, Bandai Namco, Square Enix and SNK (and by extension Street Fighter, Tekken, Final Fantasy, and Fatal Fury) have crossed paths, as Akuma, Noctis Lucis Caelum, and Geese Howard appear as guest characters in Tekken 7, the home series of Heihachi Mishima.
  • Disregarding Bandai Namco and Square Enix, Ultimate marks the first time Capcom and SNK characters have appeared together in a fighting game since SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos.
  • Coincidentally, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is developed by several members of the Tekken development staff.
• Not counting the three palette swap Heroes, Terry is the oldest character in the Fighters Pass, having debuted in 1991.
• Terry and Sephiroth are currently the only DLC fighters to not receive any assistance in their Final Smashes, as Piranha Plant summons Petey Piranha, Joker summons the Phantom Thieves for All-Out Attack, Hero summons the seven other non-playable Heroes for Gigaslash, Banjo & Kazooie summon the Jinjos for The Mighty Jinjonator, Byleth calls upon Sothis for Progenitor God Ruptured Heaven, Min Min summons the rest of the default cast of ARMS for ARMS Rush, Steve sends the target to a room full of Zombies and Creepers for House of Boom, and Pyra/Mythra are assisted by Rex for Burning Sword/Sacred Arrow.
• Terry is one of the few characters to speak during a K.O., as he says "Ouch!". He shares this line with Ness.
  • Terry is also one of four fighters in the Fighters Pass to do so, the others being Joker, Byleth, and Min Min.
• Terry is the third fighter to have canonical names for his attacks outside of Special Moves, following Wii Fit Trainer and Mega Man.
• Terry will always face his opponents in 1-v-1 matches much like a traditional fighting game. He shares this distinction with fellow fighting game characters Ryu and Ken.
• When K.O.'d in a Stamina match, Terry will lose his hat. This is in keeping with his losing animations in every one of his playable appearances.
• Prior to Byleth's release, Terry was uniquely referred to by his full name in advertisements promoting the Fighters Pass.
• Terry is the only fighter to have a backward special move.
