Bryan Fury

Bryan Fury is a character from the Tekken franchise.

Originally a cop working in Hong Kong, suspected by Lei of being on the take, he got gunned down when his latest manipulations-for-profit of a couple of gangs went sour (read: caught in the crossfire). That wasn't the end for him, though, not when Dr. Abel decided to take his body and use it as the guinea pig for his cybernetic resurrection experiments. Three words: Gone Horribly Right.

Appearance
Bryan always has short gray hair and blue eyes & has a tattoo on the left side of neck. His outfits have a police or military theme.

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 rarely talks and usually expresses his delight in watching others suffering through maniacal laughter and smirks. Noticeably, 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 (which is also true for his partner, Jack-X). He does however speak in full sentences in his Tekken 5 interludes and also in the Scenario Campaign mode in Tekken 6, although in the latter his voice is not heard.

Abilities
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.

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.

Trivia

 * Bryan's looks and overall storyline share similarities to that of Blade Runner character Roy Batty as portrayed by Rutger Hauer.
 * Bryan Fury will laugh whenever specific moves are performed on him, e.g. Volcano Blaster or Nina Williams's Bad Habit. Most of these moves involve hits to the groin.
 * Bryan used the same laughing voice sample for his Fisherman's Slam from his debut in Tekken 3 all the way until Tekken 6, where he was given a new voice actor and the sample was retired.
 * He also share the same personality and appeal as Ryuji Yamazaki from the games of SNK. Coincidentally, they share a similar outfit (like his P2 from Tekken 3 as seen on his ending only, P4 from Tekken Tag Tournament, and P2 from Tekken 5 and Tekken 6), similar hairstyle (Yamazaki's is dyed blonde while Bryan's is all white because he was just reanimated), and both had odds with a detective (since Hon Fushares similarities with Lei Wulong minus the nunchucks).
