Although he was looking like he had the potential to be busted before release, Terry Bogard isn’t shaping up to be a top-tier meta contender as much as the previous Street Fighter 6 DLC characters — but that also isn’t stopping a ton of players from using him and finding success.
That also includes the current number-one ranked online Terry player, Kintyo-ru, who put together a full match up chart for the Fatal Fury guest star.
After reaching an impressive 2,300 MR points with the latest fighter that came out not even a month ago, Kintyo-ru places Terry right around the middle of the cast though there’s some interesting picks on both sides of the fence when paired off for a match with him.
Starting at the top, there’s four characters who the Japanese player feels Terry struggles against the most including Akuma, Guile and M. Bison.
It seems he feels Mr. Bogard finds the most difficulty against the strong fighters that can keep him at a distance and then those who have a better rush down / pressure game — so we also see the likes of Dhalsim, Dee Jay, A.K.I. and even Ryu on the negative side.
Kintyo-ru went so far as to even order the individual match ups with the harder ones appearing towards the left side while the easier side of the spectrum is further to the right.
Because of Terry’s tools and ability to convert damage, the top-ranked user believes the guest does best against characters that try and mostly fight in the close to mid range.
That also includes some other top tier contenders like Zangief, Cammy and Ken interestingly though they are on the harder side of the slight advantage category.
From the recent SF6 tier lists we’ve seen out of VARREL|Mago, SAishunkan|Nemo and C9|Lexx, Terry has either been in the bottom rank or not far from it, but these match up ratings may paint a slightly more optimistic picture for him.
