A Mary Sue or Gary Stu or Marty Stu is an idealized fictional character, a young or low-rank person who saves the day through unrealistic abilities. Rey was definitely A Mary Sue Character. Why they could not wait to have her develop her force abilities before facing Ren is beyond me. You know its gonna be a trilogy
I kinda got the impression that Rey had received some training (from Luke?) before being abandoned. But who knows? That's just what I initially thought when I was sitting there in the theater.
In any case, I don't see why it's that unrealistic that she was able to BRIEFLY hold her own against a badly wounded, emotionally unstable Kylo Ren. I'd be singing a different tune if they had an epic 15 minute battle with both being in tip-top shape...
