Terry is ranked | Terry is ranked 29th out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing him in the A- tier. Terry's strengths revolve around his [[combo]] ability and deadly KO setups. His normals are all effective for racking up damage, as his tilts and some of his aerials can be auto-cancelled into his specials, while his auto-turnaround ability also allows him to punish rolls and create deadly ledgetraps. In addition, Terry's combo and KO ability is further enhanced when Terry is past 100%, as it activates his "GO!" meter, granting him access to his "Super Specials" that can lead into relatively early KOs in the right situation; he is able to utilize to GO! meter effectively thanks to being a heavyweight, allowing him to survive up to higher percents. All of this makes Terry rather dangerous when fighting him up close and at higher percents. | ||
However, Terry does have several weaknesses. Terry's strengths rely on other characters approaching him, and he has more trouble fighting characters from afar. His disadvantage state is below average since he has trouble landing, while his tall frame and stature makes him susceptible to juggling. His recovery is also exploitable if one knows how to play around it, making him rather vulnerable offstage. Finally, his normals can be escaped with good [[SDI]] allowing for most of Terry's combos to be unreliable, forcing Terry to switch up his gameplan once other players know how to deal with his combos. | However, Terry does have several weaknesses.

Terry | Terry received a very small buff in update 8.0.0, which altered [[Triple Wolf]]'s knockback to the point of strengthening it slightly. Prior to this, update 6.1.0 fixed a glitch that would cause him and the [[Ice Climbers (SSBU)|partner Ice Climber]] to both become frozen after Terry performs [[Buster Wolf]]. | ||
Due to these changes being strictly quality-of-life adjustments, Terry's competitive reception has remained virtually unchanged since his release. | Due to these changes being strictly quality-of-life adjustments, Terry's competitive reception has remained virtually unchanged since his release. | ||

When Terry was first released, many thought the character had potential due to his combo-oriented gameplan paired with his extremely powerful finishers at higher percents. His comeback mechanic, in the form of the "GO" meter, is also highly praised as it allows him to deliver extremely strong special moves, most notably Buster Wolf, and confirms into it. Top players such as {{Sm|Dabuz}} all noted his powerful neutral and punishing game, as well as lauding his highly damaging combos and KO setups and believe that, when mastered, can potentially render him as a top tier. However, many of Terry's flaws were noted by other players, such as his poor disadvantage state and exploitable recovery. Despite Terry's setbacks, dedicated mains such as {{Sm|Riddles}} shown the potential of the character; Riddles in particular demonstrated Terry's viability as a solo main in the early metagame, winning several Canadian regionals and placing respectably at majors. This continued during the online era, where Riddles would see several top 16 placements at large online tournaments. | When Terry was first released, many thought the character had potential due to his combo-oriented gameplan paired with his extremely powerful finishers at higher percents.

Following the return of offline competitive play, Terry's performance remained just as strong, if not better than before. Although Riddles started to co-main Terry with {{SSBU|Kazuya}}, he nevertheless established himself as a top 10 player using both characters, while other Terry players began making a notable impact on their scenes, including {{Sm|Mustaine}} in Mexico, {{Sm|DarkStalker}} in the United Kingdom, {{Sm|Ezs}} in Japan, and {{Sm|AndresFn}} in Spain. Thanks to his dedicated playerbase and strong performances, the general consensus is that Terry is a solid high-tier character, and as such he is ranked | Following the return of offline competitive play, Terry's performance remained just as strong, if not better than before.
