Beleza Elétrica: The Laura Thread

He should go on with the troll and act like this leak never happened. I really want to see what he had planned. I’m really glad she got leaked though because that let’s her start with some dignity as a new character in a new game. She’s clearly not a joke character and shouldn’t be treated as part of a joke. None of the other new characters were cheapened like that. The most that happened with Rashid was Ono posted one pic that got people thinking about Cody. Oh and that slashes pic that got me thinking about Vega, before he was the next revealed character.

And really, if the outcry of hate over Zangief was so big, I don’t think it would’ve been in good taste for the PR man to toy with his audience’s emotions more.

On another plus side, maybe his last sentence is a future tease for Necro. (sigh)

No. This is what all my practicing was for!

If there won’t be any dedicated zoners, SF5 might be a game where command throws are so readily available, that everybody is going to be afraid of using them. Thus, despite no full-screen characters, the best players are going to depend on their fundamentals and the versatility of their characters.

That actually raises a new question. If two different characters who have a command throw, and the throw is the same frame start up, done on the same frame, which throw wins? Is there going to be a “command throw tech” we’ve yet to see?

I really can’t wait to see Laura in action. Like can I trust somebody with my phone number to text me when the video is online? She’s just so cool and makes me feel alright with Rose probably not making it in.

Her V Trigger is her command throw, the rest look like normal throws so it isn’t too bad. Command throws are also way weaker than in SF4 as well

First time Ono got trolled too…feels nice huh?

At least she didnt get the VF Vanessa treatment so there’s room for improvement. Hope SFV also includes a color/skin editor like SFxTekken.

I’m interested in her backstory and how she has electricity. Are people gonna tell me Laura got some gadgets that creates the electricity too?

Plot twist - Blanka is now a female, original Blanka is retconned and never existed in the SF universe

She looks fucking amazing.
Tits a bit on the big side but honestly complaining about big titties is like complaining about having too much money.

Finally a SF brazillian character that isn’t a green monster or a shoto-fraud. Thank you, Ono.

Anyways, in the pictures her playstyle looks cool as a hybrid grappler. First new character that I’m hype for.

Viscant goes on tirades against random shit, generally anime/sex/specific pop singers, but not always.

He never drops kayfabe, ever, so it’s impossible to tell which things he’s being serious about and which he isn’t, it could be all or none.

Just like the actual world we live in?

That super brown-skinned one looks awful.

Word lol. I gotta agree with Raz1st on this one… She looks waaaay better light-skinned.

So everyone can look like they just got out of a tub of nuclear waste again? No, thank you.

What’s wrong with Vanessa? I think SEGA did well with that character.

Nobody in SF5 has brown hair though. Chun has it in her art, but not in game. It’s either jet black or some form of blonde.

Game needs SFxT’s color edit mode for this very reason.

She looks great and I really like her haircut.
Her moves could be a mixture of capoeira and bjj. One of her kicks reminds of a copeira move and her grabs definitely look like bjj.

I am sorry for Ono that the Pics of her got leaked. I think he would have posted that pic of her with the lighting and in front of her he would have put his Blanka toy. And a lot of people would have thought that he is going to reveal Blanka at the brasil game show :smiley:

I believe he means the transition from VF4 to VF5. Here I’ll show you:

Virtua Fighter 4:

Virtua Fighter 5:

Very much… ‘lightened’ her up. I’m personally not a fan.

Laura should have darker skin than what she currently has. It makes little sense to design a character that looks nothing like the vast majority of the country’s population.

I understand the social agenda, but let’s not go there & enjoy the game for what it is. :neutral: lol

There are light skin brazilians. Shut up.

You know… brazilians are not just black if that was what you were thinking when doing this. In terms of demography, actually, the majority there is white. Then we have the ‘mixed race’, which is exactly the default color of Laura. Then Black. Then Asians. Then Natives (poor guys were decimated).
