BRYAN FURY


Bryan Fury is a video game character from the Tekken fighting game series

History
Bryan is a kickboxer who was Lei Wulong's rival. Bryan was once a rogue police officer, but he died due to a failed attempt at double-crossing two gangs at once. However, Dr. Abel reanimated him as a cyborg, intending to use him to kill both Yoshimitsu and Doctor Boskonovitch, Abel's rival. Bryan still remembered his grudge against Lei.
In Tekken 4, Bryan knew that his body was deteriorating, that he was near death. Upon learning that Abel has become a scientific advisor of Mishima Zaibatsu, he despised the Mishima Zaibatsu for taking Abel away from him, and Abel himself, for abandoning him. After competing in the tournament, Bryan confronted Dr. Abel, but he was only able to knock Abel down before falling unconscious. But Yoshimitsu saved Bryan and brought him to Dr. Boskonovitch, who believed that the key to disabling Abel's bio-weapon was contained within Bryan's bodyAs such, Bryan was to receive a new body, but the fifth King of Iron Fist tournament was announced too soon for Boskonovitch to complete the new body. Instead, Boskonovitch gave him a new perpetual energy generator. Upon learning this, Bryan attacked Boskonovitch and the Manji clan members assigned to guard him. Bryan entered Tekken 5 to test out the power generator. When Yoshimitsu heard this, he was infuriated and entered the fifth tournament to get revenge.Bryan has been confirmed to appear in Tekken 6. In a trailer [1] he is shown using a shotgun as part of a combo game.

Endings
Bryan is walking through a forest with a large chain gun. He hears something and uses his enhanced vision to see through the trees and Yoshimitsu's cloak. Bryan opens fire and misses his target. Yoshimitsu attacks Bryan from behind and de-cloaks mid-air. He is shot in mid-air by a pistol held by Bryan. He is shot several more times before he hits the ground. Bryan stands over Yoshimitsu, smirking. He fires one last finishing shot, but as for whether or not Yoshimitsu is killed remains to be seen since the screen cuts to black as soon as the shot is fired.

Fighting Style
Bryan uses a kickboxing style similar to Bruce Irvin. This is probably due to Bryan becoming Bruce's "replacement" for Tekken 3. Bryan shares many of Bruce's attacks such as Slash Kick, Side Step Elbow, and Bruce Special. In terms of speed and power, he is mid-high range. A lot of Bryan's attacks are simple combos of 3-6 hits that require few directional inputs and twin-buttons. Bryan has few low attacks when compared to characters like Marshall Law, Lei, and Lee. His other disadvantages are his two ten-hit combos, which start off slow and have difficult timing, similar to his Run Like Hell/Run For Cover attack.
Though details are still sketchy, a newly released trailer for Tekken 6 shows Bryan using a shotgun as part of a juggle. The actual use of this weapon, including range and damage, remains to be seen.
