Special agent Mary Ryan aka Blue Mary (ブルー・マリー) is back in The King of Fighters XV. She is the granddaughter of Kobujutsu master Tatsumi Suoh. Suoh trained Geese Howard and Blue Mary.
With her Combat Sambo style of fighting, she employs striking and grappling techniques.
She first made her appearance in Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory. Later, Blue Mary appeared in other Fatal Fury titles until becoming a regular character in The King of Fighters games.
In her first KOF appearance, she became a member of the Special Team in The King of Fighters ’97 joining Ryuji Yamazaki and Billy Jane.
According to KOF XV character designer Tomohiro Nakata, “Blue Mary has appeared throughout the series tagging along multiple different teams, but who is she joining with this time? More info is on the way so please look forward to further developments!”
