Bryan Fury

**Bryan Fury** (ブライアン・フューリー *Buraian Fyūrī*?) is a character in the *Tekken* fighting game series. Bryan first appeared in *Tekken 3*, and he has returned to all the other *Tekken* games after the third one. Bryan is popular among fans for his ruthless personality, hard-hitting fighting style and trademark evil laugh.

## Biography

### Personality

Bryan is brutish, unfeeling, and overall psychotic. Throughout the entire *Tekken* series, it is clear that Bryan's motivation is nothing more than to create havoc and misery wherever he goes. His selfishness has been shown multiple times, like when he betrayed Doctor Bosconovitch and Yoshimitsuvery shortly after Yoshimitsu saved him from death.

Bryan barely talks and usually expresses his delight in watching others suffering through maniacal laughter and smirks. Oddly, in the crossover game *Street Fighter X Tekken*, Bryan talks much more often then he does in any of the *Tekken* games he is in. He does however speak in full sentences in the scenario campaign story, although his voice is not heard.

## Gameplay

Bryan is an unorthodox kickboxer who heavily relies on a ferocious punishment game. Bryan is capable of doing heavy amounts of damage with his counter hits and makes sure no move goes unpunished. He also has good pressuring capabilities, keeping opponents on tilt.

Bryan, however, is very unsafe, so risks must be taken in order to be rewarded with near 30% combos. He also lacks good range. In all, Bryan is a consistently strong character with a great toolset for instilling fear in the player's opponents.

### Fighting style

Bryan fights using a style of Kickboxing. Kickboxing is a popular combat sport that saw fruition in Japan in the 1960s. Kickboxing's punching techniques are almost identical to that of regular boxing, with kicking techniques being the aspect of the sport that differentiates itself from the latter, being an important part of a practitioner's arsenal. Elbow and knee motions also have heritage in the martial art Muay Thai, also defined as kickboxing in it's broader term. Bryan's kickboxing is not strictly traditional, with him putting his own sadistic twist on certain moves, notably the Fisherman's Slam. Many moves are also derived from Karate techniques.
