She looks like a plastic dummy model
You mean everyone doesn’t automatically go into the costume settings are set her to her “tan” skin tone to darken her back up? I will agree that I noticed her skin tone change for the worse.
Honestly, I never got too into VF5 to even discover that bit. Maybe I’ll fool around with it, knowing that, but the game is pretty dead anyway, isn’t it?
Oops, looks like Karin’s gonna be the side chick this time. Laura is fuckin bae omg…
I need a trailer for this character. I need to know if she’s a true grappler.
My best friend in Elementary school is Brazilian and his family is lighter than Laura.
She got the Beyoncé treatment :lol:
Morena Baccarin is Brazilian and you wouldn’t know it by looking at her.
Wow people are really fast with Fanart:
That second one definitely looks like Alicia Keys.
I marvel their skill and speed. ;_;
To everyone saying that Laura’s skin is too light or doesn’t fit to her being from brasil.
Brazilian people have a large variety of skin tones, just make a short search on google pictures and you will see many different people.
An example:
She’ll forever be missing a portuguese VA though
Do it capcom
She went from being really dark skinned in VF4 for extremely light skinned. It was almost like the birdie skin color change.
Hmm…I’m kind of skeptical she’ll be a pure grappler character. Prior to Gief’s reveal, it was said that there would be one more pure grappler and a zoning character. Gief already fills in the pure grappler role so Laura being another pure grappler kind of contradicts this. She probably has some command grabs but she might be more of a hybrid strike/grappler character like SNK chars. I wouldn’t care if she ended up as a pure grappler character though. It would definitely be an interesting choice if the core 16 has 3 grapplers.
Agree, a more famous example would be Kaka, the World Cup winning Brazilian footballer.
The ignorance as to what south americans looks like is astonishing. I’m from Peru, where the native population has very tan/dark brown skin yet I’m just a couple shades darker than your average US male.
Not expecting people to be vastly knowledgeable on the topic of ethnicity in SA but come on, these comments about her skin not being dark enough are ignorant and petty.
She does not even appear to have a command throw outside of her V Trigger (which looks to be a one shot move)
Brazilian Population, by Race:
White (no British influence but Italian and Portuguese) - 47.73%
‘Mixed Race’ ( White + Native + Black) (LAURA would be here) - 43.13%
Black - 7.61%
Asians - 1.09%
Natives - 0.43%
