Terry Balance Changes

Terry's back special makes him very hard to punish offstage, while his only projectile is a niche edgeguard tool that should reach like other projectiles do.

Balance Philosophy

Each mid-tier character receives a buff and a nerf: shave off the most unfair part of the kit while lessening the character's biggest weakness.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.

  1. Back special

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    Moves slightly slower through the air.
    Current issue
    While recovering it can hit the opponent quickly, making Terry hard to punish offstage.

  2. Neutral special (aerial)

    Buff
    Proposed adjustment
    More range in the air.
    Current issue
    His only projectile becomes a niche edgeguarding tool in the air.
