—Description from Ultimate's Move List

Rising Tackle (ライジングタックル, Rising Tackle) is Terry's up special move.

Overview

Terry flips onto his arms and propels himself upward, performing an upward corkscrew kick and hitting five times in the process. Terry yells "Rising Tackle!", "Hee-yah!" or "Bingo!" while using the move. It renders his entire lower body intangible from frames 9 to 20, and deals decent damage and knockback. It has light and heavy variants depending on whether the button is tapped or held; for the heavy version, Terry travels farther, and the move's final hit deals more damage. However, the move does not snap to the ledge immediately, leaving him vulnerable to edgeguards.

Input Rising Tackle

If the player performs the command input (hold down ↓, then input ↑+attack/special), Terry will perform an enhanced version of the move, which hits nine times instead of five, deals even more damage and knockback, and grants him full-body intangibility from frames 5 to 17 in addition to lower-body intangibility on frames 18 to 25. The charge can be "hidden" through other animations, such as shielding or attacking.

Canceling

Terry can perform a Rising Tackle out of some standard attacks, as part of his special-canceling mechanic. By pressing the up special input or command input after connecting with one of certain standard attacks, Terry will cancel the ending lag of the attack and perform a Rising Tackle. This can be used for combos.

Origin

An icon for denoting incomplete things.

Rising Tackle is Terry's anti-air move that has stuck with him since the original Fatal Fury, making an appearance alongside him in every following Fatal Fury title (except for Fatal Fury 3 and Garou: Mark of the Wolves; in the latter game, the move is instead used by Rock Howard) and later in the King of Fighters series.
