Gameplay Overview
Mary is a vortex character with quick but risky ways to win neutral, with her low, far-travelling set of jumps in the air and her runs and Straight Slicer on the ground. Additionally, she has EX M. Breaker (623AC) to go through fireballs of any height. Once she's in, Mary has a myriad of mixup options to pick from - in addition to strong hop normals such as j.D and j.CD and her reliable low hit confirms (2B 2A 4B), Mary has access to a dodge and command grab in one move (214P~236P), a leaping command grab for use in strings (623P) and an overhead (6A) which can be super cancelled. All of these can lead to hard knockdowns. However, Mary has to take serious risks in neutral, with Straight Slicer in particular being punishable. If she finds herself defending, she has access to two different reversals: a dragon punch (623K) and her dodge. These lead to hard knockdowns as well - not only is she tricky to pin down because of this, but her vortex is easy to resume as well. However, not only can both options be covered with a well-spaced safejump, but, like the rest of Mary's kit, they are both very unsafe. Mary is a strong character who can be used in any team slot, given her ability to meter dump and her constant hard knockdowns either way, but it is precisely this element of risk which keeps her in check.
Blue Mary is a rushdown character who can preserve momentum well using mixups and reversals which all result in hard knockdowns, but who requires very good reads before she can start. | |
