I wish to see if anyone else has an effective counter against Terrafin. Erupter is known to, has anyone else been discovered capable of destroying the otherwise nigh-unbeatable PvP warrior?
EDIT: As in, actually affects/counters Terrafin's attack, not just characters that are good against him. I want to know if anyone other than Eruptor that actually has attacks that can hurt Terrafin while underground or force him up above the ground.
First conclusive result: Flying characters are unaffected by his fin.

Another Terrafin

Try to bring him into bounce pads. Those will force him up, and Terrafin above the ground isn't too strong, especially on Sandhog. If you have a Whirlwind, smother him in clouds. If you are using Stump smash spam the wow pow.

Use Flashwing or Hex to kill him from afar.

Focus on ranged attacks to kill him, his Mini-Sharks are very weak.

Swarm works great. Strafe, make him chase you, and fire barb missiles constantly. He can't stay underground forever, and while flying, you can generally stay out of his way. Add to it that you have a type advantage and far more HP, and you even have plenty of room for error. I've never had any trouble with Terrafin on a keep-away Swarm, and I don't think you will either.

^Agreed. Terrafin is especially weak to Swarm, Eruptor, and maybe Hex or Flashwing. Flashwing especially though, because she
1. Can use her spin to quickly get away, and
2. Shoot rapid-fire crystals at Terrafin.

Giants almost don't count because of their massive HP counts. But other than Eruptor (who brings him up out of the ground), few can touch Terrafin. Even ranged attacks can be difficult, as just pressing [secondary attack button for your console] twice refreshes his time underground, and his wowpow makes it even harder. On sandhog, with fin damage, he's little short of unstoppable.
The topic is about, is there anyone, other than Eruptor, who actually counters him, like brings him up out of the ground or something? Not who's good against him...

Hmm... someone should test if Soricket;s mines affect him!

Someone should also test Dyno-Rang's ground fists, I could see them working on an underground Terrafin. (I don't have Dyno-Rang, so I can't check)

^ i told someone else to check that on another forum and they said it didnt work

Wow, counter character strats? This reminds me too much of the Marvel vs Capcom 3 metagame.

Skylanders for EVO

Sprocket's mines... I'll try that.
Underground Fright Rider? Maybe Prism Breaks Eruption?

i am trying to figure out what kind of logic activision was using when they made this. yea so a mini eruption that goes away after 2 seconds can make a shark come out of the ground but a trap that is underground to begin with cant bash him out? i am starting to think these guys are stupid.

They sort of are. At least flying characters aren't affected by his fin...

I think you mean Toys For Bob- they made the game, Acti just released it

Well Terrafin underground move doesn't stay underground for long, if i were to fight him ill use Bash and ill keep rolling until Terrafin pops up out of the ground then hit him with my outrageous damage tail

He goes do fast underground, that can be hard. Flight is the best way to avoid him, as his fin can't touch a flyinglander.

you know what i meant

IDK, I figured Toys For Bob made the physical figures, and Activision made the software (game). Maybe it just seemed that way because they're TOYS For Bob.

^ this...sorta, the first time i played SSA it was the first time i heard of toys for bob and i was like oh so this spyro was made by them......huh
