The Smash Box is the best controller for Terry in Smash Bros. Ultimate. The precision of his motion inputs are better, there is better access the shortcuts for his supers, and the Coil technique is far more accessible and viable. If you are looking to improve your Terry gameplay on Smash Box, you are in the right place!

Special Inputs

The key aspect of Terry is his motion inputs for Special attacks. On a typical controller Terry can be difficult due to the analog stick, or even a joystick. But on Smash Box you will get precise inputs due to the arcade buttons.

Burn Knuckle: Down -> Down + Forward -> Forward + Attack

Crack Shoot: Down -> Down + Back -> Back + Attack

Power Dunk: Forward -> Down -> Down + Forward + Attack

Rising Tackle: Hold Down (for about a second) -> Up + Attack

Using Tilts with Specials

To make positioning even easier, you can hold down Tilt 1 or Tilt 2 to walk slowly and still get your Special motion inputs. This is especially useful for Rising Tackle, because by holding down with Tilt modifiers you will prevent crouch and you can walk around while holding the down charge.

Power Dunk Shortcuts

Due to the leniency of inputs for the special motions, Smash Box is able to do Power Dunk in multiple ways. Beyond the traditional way, as shown above, there are two shortcuts you can use.

Power Dunk "Forward" Shortcut: Forward -> Down + Forward -> Forward + Attack

Power Dunk Crouching Shortcut: Down + Forward -> Down -> Down + Forward + Attack

Supers

Buster Wolf

Once you reach 100%, you have access to your Supers. Buster Wolf is pretty straight forward: it is two quarter-circle forward motions back to back.

Down -> Down + Forward -> Forward -> Down -> Down + Forward -> Forward + Attack

Power Geyser

Power Geyser can be a bit more tricky, but its inputs are fairly simple.

Down -> Back -> Down -> Forward + Attack

Coil

Probably the most unique techniques in Ultimate, and incredibly useful for Terry. With Coil, you do not need to hold Down on the Analog Directions any more!

To Coil: Hold Analog Down -> Hold C-Stick Down -> Release Analog Down

With Tilt Stick on, by holding Down on the Analog Directions then holding Down on C-Stick, you can release the Analog Directions and keep your "Down" held with C-Stick. So, you can Coil with C-Stick Down and walk or run into Rising Tackle with ease!

Double Tap Coil

With a normal Coil, you cannot use your attack button. However, with a Double Tap Coil (DTCoil), you are free to use your attack button for aerials, tilt attacks, whatever you want! 

To DTCoil: Hold Analog Down -> Double Tap C-Stick Down then Hold -> Release Analog Down

What makes Smash Box so great for Terry compared to other controllers in this situation is that you can still get guaranteed Tilt Attacks by simply using the Tilt Modifiers. Since you will be using Tilt Stick most likely, there is no need to release C-Stick Down and so no need to lose your Coil!

You can set up DTCoil in any situation. Here we showcase it by doing the input during an aerial.

DTCoil with Burn Knuckle and Crack Shoot

DTCoil helps with input precision in other special moves.

Burning Knuckle: DTCoil -> Release C-Stick Down -> Forward + Attack

Crack Shoot: DTCoil -> Release C-Stick Down -> Back + Attack

You can even do Burning Knuckle directly out of a run!

DTCoil -> Run and Hold Forward -> Release C-Stick Down -> Attack

DTCoil with Supers

Similar to the DTCoil Burning Knuckle, but you add in a quarter-circle.

DTCoil Power Geyser simply removes the need to do the Down input.
