Terrible Smash

The Terrible Smash is one of Urien's unique attacks, introduced in Street Fighter III: Second Impact.￼

Description
Executed by pressing forward and Heavy Punch, Urien performs a downward punch.

Tactics
As an overhead attack, the main purpose is to break through the defenses of an opponent who insists on crouch guarding (as the attack must be blocked from a standing position). The draw back causes considerable delay, and this attack can easily be countered by an aggressive opponent by hitting Guile before he throws it.

On the plus side, this move is a great mix-up tool which can catch a lot of opponents who are constantly crouch guarding. Like most overheads, this move is unsafe on block. While this move is decent by itself, Urien's overhead is also a part of one of his target combos. Cancelling into his V-Trigger makes this move +9 on hit. It is also +2 on block when linking into Aegis Reflector, making it a safe way to apply offensive pressure.
