Description

Terry performs a hopping spinning back kick straight forward at his foe that moves him a small bit forward. In the Fatal Fury games, he leans back a bit while also tucking his following foot in a bit as he kicks, and also forces the victim to the rear plane/oversway should it connect.

As of the KOF games however, the more recurring animation for the move is instead a pushing kick with Terry facing away from his kicking direction as his following leg is instead spread away slightly akin to doing the splits. Unlike the original versions, it knocks down whenever it acts as his Blow Back attack. Specifically in KOF 96, it is also dubbed as Light The Sky (ライト・ザ・スカイ) according to the KOF 96 for Saturn guide book.

The hop property across its appearances also allows it to crush low-attribute attacks.

In Street Fighter 6, the attack is used as his Drive Impact, where Terry performs a full-on hopping back spin roundhouse kick while tucking in his following leg.
