"Her opponents all go home with broken bones! She'll have you singing the blues...! BLUE MARY." - The King of Fighters XV

Mary Ryan (マリー・ライアン), better known as Blue Mary (ブルー・マリー), is a character from both the Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters series. Her first appearance was in Fatal Fury 3 as a private detective. Her official nickname is "S Class Woman" (Sエスクラスのおんな).[2], and in The King of Fighters XV, is "The Joint Crusher" (JOINTジョイント CRUSHERクラッシャー).

Personality[]

Blue Mary is very friendly towards everyone, but she knows (or thinks) that her job must come first before everything else. Mary developed a strong bond with Terry, they seem to have a genuine care and fondness with each other. Based on one of her victory quotes, as well as from other characters, and her new nickname, Mary sometimes has a fetish side on breaking her opponents' bones/joints with her joint locking-based moves.

Abilities[]

  • Ignore weight - Mary can throw her opponents, regardless of their weight.
  • Energy Attacks - Mary can fuel her attacks and throws with ki energy. It can be shown as a red rose, a pink splash or red/blue streaks.

  • Motorcycle Riding - Mary knows how to ride a motorcycle very well.
  • Detective skills - Blue Mary has had extensive training in deep background investigation.

Fighting style[]

Blue Mary employs the fighting art of combat Sambo, which originated in the Soviet Union. This martial art uses striking and grappling techniques and is particularly well-known for its flying jointlocks, which she does make extensive use of.
