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.
- An insanely fast and wide air CD.
- 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.
Normals
Standing
- st. A: Standard jab. Whiffs on some characters crouching. Slightly negative. Cant cancel into command normals. Special cancel-able

- st. C: Hits twice. Only super cancelable. Moves her hitbox forward.
- st. D: Great range. Crushes lows. Not command/special/super cancel-able. CANNOT CANCEL INTO MAX MODE!
Close

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.

- cr. B (x2 to x3), Far B = (85 to 110 dmg)
- cr. B (x1 to x2), cr. A, b~f+B = (107 to 131 dmg)
(Main bread and butter combo. It's best to hold db while at the start of the combo to charge for b~f+B.)
- cl. C (1 hit), f+A, dp+B (x2) = (194 dmg)
- cl. D, f+A, b~f+D, qcf+B/D = (216 dmg)
- cl. D f+A, dp+B, dp+B (x2) = (234 dmg)
(cl. D has to hit very close against the opponent in order for b+B not to whiff. It's easier to do this combo after cross-up j. B or j. D.)
- cr. C, b+B (2 hits), b~f+D, qcf+B/D = (246 dmg)
(Along with cl. C (1 hit), cr. C seems to connect to b+B more consistently at any range.)
- cl. D b+B (2 hits), b~f+D, qcf+B/D = (256 dmg)
(cl. D has to hit very close against the opponent in order for b+B not to whiff. It's easier to do this combo after cross-up j. B or j. D.)

Misc
Mix-up Options:
Blue Mary excels at mixing up the opponent once she gets in close range.
Once the opponent blocks one or a few cr. Bs in a block string, she can choose the following:
- cr. D: “cr. B (x1 to x3), cr. D” is a powerful frame trap. The opponent can only block low or commit to an invincible move between the last cr. B and cr. D to beat it. It’s impossible to back dash without taking damage. Blue Mary should do this several times in a round if the opponent does not have a consistent answer against the frame trap.
- Hop B: If the opponent is conditioned to just blocking low with the cr. B, cr. D frame trap, Blue Mary can sneak in a hop B, after a blocked cr. B, to catch the opponent off guard. Hop B has a wide enough hitbox to hit and cross-up crouching opponents unlike many air moves in KOFXIV.
- qcb+A/C, hcf+A/C: If the opponent tries to use an invincible reversal during the cr. B, cr. D frame trap, Blue Mary can counter it with her invincible dodge. Cancel the dodge into a command grab if the opponent is still on the ground and in close range.
- dp+A/C: A tick throw option that moves Blue Mary forward. It can be done after delaying cr. B or after canceling a cr. A. If dp+A/C hits at the corner, Blue Mary can do a 4-frame safe jump.
- f+A: Overhead into quick max if you have meter.
Meaty Jump Attack Set-ups:
Color Legend:
- Blue (Safe Jump Set-up): None of the opponent’s non-super reversals are fast enough to punish offensive character’s jump attack on wake-up.
- Green (Pseudo Safe Jump Set-up): A set-up that can beat the defending characters’ fastest non-super reversal on wake-up. It is a safe jump against slower reversals.
- Red (Won’t work): The opponent has a non-super reversal that can beat the offensive character’s jump attack on wake-up.
