Understanding Terry’s match‑ups equips competitors with actionable intel for Capcom Cup 12 and informs broader meta‑shifts in Street Fighter 6’s Season 3.
Terry Bogard’s resurgence in Street Fighter 6’s third season underscores the fluid nature of fighting‑game balance. While originally a guest from the Fatal Fury franchise, Terry’s toolkit—powerful anti‑air options, versatile mix‑ups and high damage output—has vaulted him into the top‑tier bracket. Community analysts and pro players alike have noted his ability to dictate pace against fast, pressure‑heavy characters, cementing his status as a staple pick for high‑stakes events like Capcom Cup.
The newly released match‑up chart by JabhiM provides granular insight into Terry’s strengths and vulnerabilities. Against JP, Ken and Marisa, Terry’s range and command grabs translate into favorable win rates, allowing him to control space and force errors. Conversely, characters with strong footsies and low‑profile frames—Cammy, Ryu and Manon—pose significant challenges, with Akuma emerging as the most daunting opponent due to overlapping projectile and rushdown tools. Competitors can leverage this data to tailor game plans, prioritize defensive options, and exploit the identified favorable match‑ups during the tournament’s early rounds.
Beyond the immediate tournament implications, the chart reflects a broader trend of player‑generated meta analysis shaping competitive strategies. As developers iterate balance patches, such community resources become vital for rapid adaptation, influencing character pick rates and even informing future game updates. For sponsors, teams, and analysts, the chart offers a concise, data‑driven snapshot that can guide coaching decisions, content creation, and audience engagement, reinforcing Terry Bogard’s pivotal role in the evolving SF6 landscape.

Goliath | JabhiM is one of the 48 competitors that qualified for Capcom Cup 12, cementing recognition as one of the best players in the world right now in Street Fighter 6. He achieved this using Terry Bogard, a character generally recognized as being high‑tier or top‑tier in Season 3.
It would seem that JabhiM recently opted to release his personal match‑up chart for Terry Bogard just prior to the Capcom Cup 12 event. This provides a look at just how strong Terry feels in the current meta right now.
It’s interesting to highlight how Terry has particularly favorable match‑ups against JP, Ken and Marisa. The match‑up against JP will likely prove very useful at Capcom Cup 12 since JP is regarded as one of the strongest characters in the game.
Terry also seems to perform well against Mai, Elena, C. Viper, A.K.I. and several other fighters. Of course, most of Terry’s match‑ups have been labeled as being relatively even for the Fatal Fury guest.
However, it should be noted that Terry will have an uphill battle against Cammy, Ryu and Manon. Of these three, Ryu is particularly relevant right now.
The biggest hurdle for Terry, however, is Akuma. JabhiM has labeled Akuma as being Terry’s most difficult match‑up.
