This is my first atempt at a FAQ, so please bear with the mistakes, and help me where you can. This is slowly evolving from a move list into a FAQ. I now have damame for most of the moves. The most up to date version can be found at; http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Lair/7000/fury.txt If you have anything of value, please e-mail me at, phate_ems@hotmail.com, thank you. What's new in update 2 While playing the #1 guy in the Northwest, I learned a couple new juggles, and I've added them. The first is in the Juggles section, off of the Snake Edge (df+LK), then do a WS+LK (the WS comes automaticaly out of the Snake Edge) then Running Blind (LP,RK,LK,LK). The second is an add on to something in the Fun Stuff to Play With section, the Double Back Hands (b+RP,LP) on a counter hit, then Wolf Bite (b+RP,LP,RK). You can do his taunt for an extra no-damage hit, but it looks really cool. So the whole combo is, b+RP,LP (on counterhit),LP+LK+RK,b+RP,LP,RK . I. Moves a. Throws b. Basic Moves c. Bigger Combos d.

Only really works against the comp. II. Stratagies a.Moves evaluation *Single Moves* Bryan has fast and strong single attacks, most of them have good recovery time also. -Mach Punch (f,f+RP) This move is fast and strong. It is very good to pull out after they wiff a move or after they finish a combo. It's also fast enough to interupt some combos, but trying to break up Ling's stuff is very hard, be careful! The recovery time isn't too good, so be carefull about just pulling it out. -Slash Kick (f,f+LK) This move has pretty good range. It's kinda slow, but a lot of people miss judge the speed, try to counter it and get the crap knocked out of them. It's also fun to use when they're getting up from any of Brian's moves that knock them down. It also counters most sidestep happy opponents on the way around. -Flying Heel Kick (b,b+RK) One big advantage of this move is it's range, and it's suprise factor to opponents. A major disadvantage is the fact that you lay on the ground afterwards with no chance of quick rising. It is also impossible to attack reverse. -Side Step Elbow (f+LP+RP) I've found this move works pretty well against opponents getting up. It doesn't do too much as a side stepping move, but does work occasionally. A big problem is the hitting high part, otherwise it's a pretty good move. -Hammer Driver (LP+RP or b+LP+RP or d+LP+RP) This move is fairly fast and if you're close enough it hits twice. It's good against people that turn their backs (eg. Lei and Ling), crouching opponents and Eddy players that start their combos half a screen away (which is most of them). I have also found that this move goes under high hits if done at the right time. -Power Axe (df+RK) This move is kinda slow, but does nice damage, and knocks them down pretty close to you, so you can do a Slash Kick (f,f+LK) while they're getting up to do even more damage. -Low Kick (d+LK) Why am I talking about such a simple move? Because it's one of Bryan VERY few low attacks. This move works nice to knock Eddy players out of combos and to just get in a little bit of damage. -Thin Low Kick (d+LK+RK) This move seems like it has more range than the regular low kick, and does a little bit more damage too. -Gravity Blow (f+LP+RK) This unblockable is one of the fastest in the game. It's great to pull out on turtles or anyone that will fall for it but doesn't do that much damage. Do a combo like the Bruce special, end in the middle, and pull this out if they keep blocking your strings, it's fun. -Meteor Strike (b+LP+RK) This one does WAY more damage than the gravity blow, but as a result is much slower. Try doing the Gravity Blow a few times, and when they stop trying to hit you out of it, do the Meteor Strike, by the time they realize it's too late, they're getting the crap knocked out of them. -Low Counter (d_db+LP+LK or d_db+RP+RK) Only try this move if you can see it coming. Some moves like Law's Dragon Tail (db+RK) are a pain in the ass to try to time. This move is VERY efective against Eddy players who go for the Slippery kick (LK~RK,RK,LK) a lot, which unfortuantly can really mess you up if you miss. *Sidestepping Moves* Bryan has a pretty good sidestep and good moves that come out of it. -Headhunter (SS,LP) This move is fast, does quite a bit of damage and and comes out of a sidestep, so it's pretty easy to get a major counter. The big disadvantage is the hitting high part, if they see it coming, they can duck and juggle your ass for a while. -Shell Shock (SS,RP) I don't really use this move much, it's hits high just like the Headhunter, but does less damage. One thing it will do is shows the opponents side when it hits, setting up a possible side throw. -Cheap Trick (SS,LP,RP) This move surprises most people because it starts out exactly like the Headhunter, but he stops his left arm then hits mid with the right, and on a counter hit it stuns, which sets you up to throw them or juggle them. *Juggle starting moves* Bryan doesn't have too many juggles, but he does have his fair share, here are his starters. -Snake Edge (df+LK) I'm rather fond of this move for a few reasons. One, it hits low, and that is a rarity with Brian unfortunantly. Two, it juggles if it connects close to your opponent, that is really nice to have a low juggle starter. And three, I have found that a lot of people miss time it, and get hit by it, another plus. The main problem is the very limited juggles following. -Right Upper into Fishermans Slam (WS,RP,F_B+RP) This is a really good starter, for a couple of reasons. One, it does 34 damage BEFORE you start juggling and it's easy to get at LEAST two hits in. The best juggle to do after you get this is Running Blind (LP,RK,LK,LK). -Left Upper (WS,LP) Another good juggle starter, only does about 18 damage, but launches them very high, without having to try to get the second part of the starter. To finish this one off, do a Wolf Bite (b+2,1,4). -Orbital Heel Kick (u_uf,RK) This is a pretty fast juggle starter, but the juggles afterwards are pretty limited, it's good to get a few hits in that they can't do a thing about. Most of the juggles with the Orbital Heel kick are ended with the Mach Punch. This move also has pretty good priority, and stops quite a few moves if done at the right time. -Sway and Smash (d,db,b,N,RP) This starter only juggles on a counter hit, but since it starts with the sway it can evade high hits making it pretty easy to get the required counter. *Combos* This is where Bryan is probably strongest, his abilty to string hits together and switch where the last hit goes on most of them. -Rush Punches/Rush Punches to Low Kick (LP,RP,LP,RP_RK) This combo and the Bruce special are good because of the ability to mix up the last hit between mid and low, which is nice to fake people out. -Bruce Special/Bruce Special Alt (LK,RP,LP,RK_RP) Again, it's the ability to mix up the last hit that makes this strong, the advantage of this one over the Rush Punches is that this one never goes above mid, where the Rush punches start high, but this one starts a little slower. -Lair's Dance/Cremation (LP,RK,RP,LP,RP_RK) This is not that good of a combo at all, it hits ALL high, except for the last hit of the Cremation. One thing you could do is get people to duck under the whole thing a couple of times, and then start doing the RK at the end to surprise them. -Hands of Doom/Wolf Bite (b+RP,LP,RP_RK) This move does a lot of damage, and on a counter hit, all three connect. This one, just like the Lair's Dance/Cremation, has the last hit switchable from H to M, so if they just duck under the Hands of doom, go to Wolf Bite to get a 26 point hit in on them. It's okay to use this combo until you get sick of it, it's very affective in versus play, but not against the comp. Use the Wolf Bite to juggle whenever possible, it does quite a bit of damage. -Vulcan Canon to Body Blow (DF+LP,LP,LP,LP,RP) This is pretty fast, but is blockable after the first hit. Lay off doing the RP the first couple of times, and when they start taking block off right after the last LP, start doing the RP. -Ten String (b+LK,RK,LP,RP,LP,RK,RP,LP,RK,RP) This is probably one of the worst tens in the game, it start out slow, but does get pretty fast towards the end. This ten string hits all high and mid, which makes it so even most Eddy players can block it. b. Against Characters Ling Xiaoyu-I've had quite a bit of experience against her, and didn't enjoy it most of the time. Always avoid doing moves that hit high because of the Phoenix Stance and the Sunflower (WS+RP). She'll just go under and mess you up bad. If she turns around and starts to move in closer, do a Hammer Driver when she's in range to knock her out. Eddy Gordo-Always remember your low counter and low kicks (d+LK,d+RK+LK,d+RK) to get him out of his combos, then punish him with some juggle starter or Slash Kick. The Hammer Driver works well when they start their combos away from you, especialy the handstand. Don't do high moves because most of his stuff makes him evade high hits, and he MC's you. The best starter to use is the Left Upper, because the Right Upper to Fishermans Slam won't launch him if he's in a stance or crouching. Nina Williams-She is really fast and strong as hell, if you get stunned or juggled, I feel sorry for you, watch out for the boot kick, and the divine cannon mainly. She will also do quick little 2 or 3 hit combos that switch between H,M, and L. One example of these is d+RK,LP. These are really annoying because you can't guess on them because they're so fast. Try to find out where the breaks in their attack are, and jab her out of it. Paul Phoenix-Try to block anything that comes, especialy the Death Fist (QCT+RP), and do a Mach Breaker or what ever your favorite big damage move is. If they do tile spliters all day long, try to hit them out of it right after the tile spliter with a jab. His Sidestepping Shoulder (f+LP+RK) could also give you some trouble due to the straight forwardness of Bryan's attacks. Forest Law-The main thing most Law players do is the Junkyard combo(b+RP,LK,RK) or his other juggle starting combo (b+LP,RP,LP). If all they do is the Junkyard, then try to low counter the second hit and slam him or juggle him. If he does flipkicks on you, DO NOT EVER do a Mach breaker after he finishes, he recovers crouching so you'll just go right over him and he gets a second shot to flip kick you, instead try a Power Axe (df+RK), Slash Kick (f,f+LK) or the Left Upper. Jin Kazama-If they try to uppercut all the time with f,N,d,d/f+RP duck it because it hits high, and juggle them with the Right upper into Fishermans Slam if possible. If they really don't know what there doing, and all they do is the Roundhouse to the Spin Kicks (uf+RK,RK,RK,RK), block the first, and try to low counter one of the next two hits, then do a Left Upper. Lei Wulong-Good Lei players are a pain in the ass. If he lays down, don't go running up to him, it will hurt. If he goes for the low kick to high kick, either low counter the first hit or block low and stay crouching and when he goes over your head, do a Right Upper into Fisherman's Slam, or a Left upper. Also learn what stances do what and where they hit if you can. One thing almost all good Lei players do is the Rush punches (f,N,LP,RP,LP,RP) after you whif a move. Try to stay away from the slow stuff with bad recovery time. The Mach punch isn't a good idea unless they miss with a combo because his Cannon Ball (b+LP+RP) evades high hits. And yet another thing you have to be careful of, is when he has his back turned. If they turnaround a ways away from you, do a Mach Breaker, but if they do it close, just try to jab, because blocking what ever comes next is really hard thanks to the ease with witch he can switch between L an M. King-The main thing is to stay out of throw range. Do this by doing Mach Breakers, Slash Kicks, and the Flying Heel Kick. Another thing to do is when he tries to throw, duck it, then do a Left Upper or Right Upper into Fishermans slam and happy juggling! Yoshimistu-I'm finding that Yoshi is really annoying. Don't do too many slow obvious moves because of his d/f+RK, it's one of his fastest attacks, and it has very high priority. Be careful of the Sword Flash (b+LP+RK) when doing most of your high and mid attacks or while trying to sidestep in, it will hit you. Hwoarang-Be patient. Wait for him to do one of his juggle starters, block it, and mess him up good. If he's dumb and just juggles out the Bird Hunter (d+RK,RK), block low, stay ducking, and then juggle him with with the Left Upper or Right Upper into Fishermans Slam. Learn where the hich hits are, duck them, then do a Left Upper, or Right Upper to Fishermans Slam. Kuma-Kuma isn't hard to fight. Just block his slow ass moves and kick his big bear butt, you have a MAJOR speed advatage if you didn't know already. The Mach Breaker is fairly safe against fat boy, so enjoy! Julia Chang-She has a lot of combos that are unblockable after the first hit. If you block one of her moves, hurt her bad! She has REALLY bad recovery time, use this to your advantage. Gun Jack-The same things that aply for Kuma, aply for Gunny too, but his stuff is a little faster, and he has more low hits. Mokujin-Just try to figure out who the hell he is in the round you're in and use the strategy listed here for the character if it's up. Brian Fury-It's a real pain to fight against yourself. Watch out for his combos, and big damage moves like the Mach Breaker. That's how I've been beat by Bryan, is with the combos. Since most of his good attacks hit high, try to duck them, and then juggle with the Right Upper to Fishermans slam or the Left Upper. Heihachi Mishima-DON'T GET JUGGLED!!! To avoid this horrible fate, keep your distance with the Flying Heel kick and the Slash Kick. The Mach Breaker is again, pretty unadvisable unless he whifs an uppercut. His Hell Sweeps (f,N,d,DF+RK,RK,RK) are really annoying, but if they don't hit on a counterhit, you can block after the first one. Ogre-Don't really know him. True Ogre-Don't even ASK on this one! c. Against the computer All I have to say is MACH BREAKER (f,f+RP). This single move is about all you need to beat the computer, and a little skill at dashing. Open the round with a Mach Breaker, or you can take a step back, then do it. Doing a right jab sets up the Mach Breaker perfectly. After you knock them down, dash up to them, and then dash back out of sweep range, and if they do a shin kick, or roll then sweep, do a Mach Breaker right after they do the move, then repeat. III. Extra stuff *Bio* Name :Bryan Fury Catch copy :Snake-eye Nationality :USA Fighting style :Kick boxing Age :29 Height :186cm(about 6 feet) Weight :80kg Blood type :AB Job :Collecting brain data Hoby :Collecting Cigarette Lighters Like :Alone, Hair-cutting Hate :Sunlight *Story* Bryan Fury, of the International Police Organization, had a reputation as a skillfull detective with a dark side. A case involving Lei Wulong, of the Hong Kong PD, pointed to a connection between Bryan and the drug trade. At 29 Bryan was killed in a Hong Kong shoot out. Instead of his body going to the grave, it was brought to the laboratory of a reputed underworld scientist, Dr. Abel. Bryan's body was reanimated by Dr. Abel for special future projects. Though much of Dr. Abel's research was pioneered by Dr. Boskonovitch, he could be the first to complete an AI controlled "Cyborg Army". But first he needs Bryan to collect the perfect brain data from none other than Dr. Boskonovitch himself. Bryan successfully sneaks into the tournament and targets Yoshimitsu because of his close ties with Dr. Boskonovitch. *Costumes* -RP or LP A vest, camoflauge pants, combat boots -LK or RK Snake skin pants, boots *Winning Stances* LP-Quick Spin Kick to Taunt RP-Two jabs then Slash Kick LK-Rush Punches RK-Crouches down and does a "come over here" motion with his hands. IV. Credits The other couple of FAQ's on Bryan, making me want to make a much better one. Psylence(Evan) for getting me motivated to do this and the help by playing a very annoying everyone! Kaiser for liking my FAQ enough to post it in TIC, because I'm too damn lazy. Namco for the moves and for making a damn good game that I'm very addicted to. Anyone who takes the time to read this far, and taking an interest in Bryan Fury and Tekken 3 in General.
