Power Wave (パワーウェイブ, Power Wave) is Terry's neutral special move.
Overview
Terry slams his fist into the ground, creating a burst of energy that travels across the ground. Much like Hadoken, the move has two different speeds, depending on whether or not the player holds the button or taps it. If used in the air, it will instead be a burst of energy that covers a small distance around him. Upon activation, Terry will either shout "Power Wave!" or "Rock you!"
Canceling
Terry can perform a Power Wave out of some normal attacks, a mechanic known in their home series as special-cancelling. By pressing the special button or doing the command input after connecting with a normal attack, Terry will cancel the endlag of the normal attack and perform a Power Wave. This allows him to deal extra damage in combos, improving his punish game.
Origin
Power Wave is a move within Terry's repertoire that has stuck with him since the original Fatal Fury, making an appearance alongside him in every following Fatal Fury title and later in the King of Fighters series. The aerial version is based on a similar move known as the Round Wave seen in games like The King of Fighters '96.
