Gameplay Overview

Health: 950

Blue Mary is a very strong character in KOFXIV. She has many tools such as:

• An invincible dodge that leads into a command grab.

• A wide air CD that is good for pressure.

• Plenty of easy mix-ups.

• An invincible reversal, dp+K, that puts the opponent in hard knockdown state.

She can make the opponent second guess their approach easily, with her invincible moves, while forcing her way in neutral.

Close

Close A	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hitbox Invincibility 25 30 4 3 8 4 2 Hitbox - Standard close jab. Like Far A, cl. A is useful to stop hops, if the opponent hops close towards Blue Mary.

Close B	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hitbox Invincibility 30 30 5 3 13 -1 -3 Hitbox - Standing low Attack. Can cancel into itself. Point blank cl.B, cl.B, cr.B or Far B works. Can cancel, but will not combo into command normals. Special/super cancel-able.

Close C	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hitbox Invincibility 78 80 6 2 (1) 2 20 -1 -3 Hitbox - Hits twice. Command/special cancel-able. Doesnt hit very high above her head. Useful for grab/ close heavey OS against close empty hop/jump.

Close D	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hitbox Invincibility 80 70 5 4 23 2 0 Hitbox - Most damaging close heavy normal. The second best heavy normal to start combos after cross-ups and quick max. Has a lot of pushback that can make f+B whiff.

Crouching

Crouch B	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hitbox Invincibility 30 30 4 4 7 4 2 Hitbox - Hits low and fast. Lowers her crouching hitbox a lot. Can't command/special cancel. Standard quick max starter.

Crouch C	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hitbox Invincibility 70 70 9 4 27 -10 -12 Hitbox - Hits mid. Lowers hitbox plus moves her forward a bit. Her best heavy normal combo starter especailly into f+B.

Crouch D	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hitbox Invincibility 80 70 6 4 25 SKD -10 Hitbox - Hits low and fast. Punishable if done at close range, but has a lot of pushback. So it's better use at mid to the furthest range of cr. D. Especially useful as a frame trap at mid-screen from cr.B (x3) or cr. B(x2), cr. A.

Jumping

Jump A	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hitbox Invincibility 45 30 4 9 (Landing)+1 - - Hitbox - Has a good diagonal hitbox. It's useful as a jump-in confirm and a quick poke in air-to-air situations.

Jump CD	Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hitbox Invincibility 90 80 13 7 (Landing)+1 SKD - Hitbox - Great hit box for jump in pressure.

Combos

Combo starter:

• cr. B (x1 or x2), cr. A – The stable combo starter that connects only to b~f+B, the light slide kick.

• cl. C (1 hit), b+B – Cl. (1 hit) is one of two heavy normals that connects to f+B consistently, without f+B whiffing, at most ranges. After doing b+B, hold back to charge for the slide kick, b~f+B/D.

• cr. C, b+B – cr. C connects to f+B consistently without f+B whiffing all ranges. It can be considered the best combo to do after quick max to connect to ex slide kick, b~f+BD.

• cl. D, f+A – This is a combo to do after quick max in the anchor position. It leads to her most damaging mid-screen 2-meter anchor combo without spending any additional meter. It’s possible to do slide kick after this combo by immediately holding back during f+A. Delay f+K after f+A by a couple of frames to connect to slide kick.

• cl. D, b+B – Her most damaging combo starter, but requires cl. D to hit deep to connect f+B. It’s best to do this combo after a cross-up j. B or cross-up j. D. Also, it’s is useful after quick max for 1-meter max mode combos.
