Terry (SSBU)/Back aerial

Hitbox visualization showing Terry's back aerial.

Overview

Terry performs a backward kick. Due to Terry's automatic turnaround mechanics, this move can be quite unwieldy for a new player to use reliably. However, with various techniques such as Attack Cancelling and Reverse Aerial Rush, it can be largely made up for.

Back aerial is incredibly strong, dealing high damage and knockback. As such, this is one of Terry's best ways to KO from a stray hit. This numerical strength also makes it quite safe on shield, being -4 with perfect landing on the early hit. This allows Terry to use his neutral attack against many out of shield options. Should the opponent hold shield, this is usually a free blockstring off off the neutral attack itself; Power Dunk should shieldpoke.

While as unwieldy as it sounds, it is possible to combo off of back aerial at lower percentages. It can confirm forward tilt, which can then be used to confirm Burning Knuckle, or Buster Wolf if Terry has Super Special Moves available. Given this, neutral attack and down tilt can also work with precision. Once it starts sending into tumble, using the second hit of neutral attack to lock and abuse tech situations is possible. However, other lock options are available depending on the weight of the opponent.
