please dont watch that fuckin idiot :frowning:

ahh basically crouch tech from sf4

Momochi explains it at some point in this. Can Crouch tech with c.mp.

I’ll be at Hexters shortly before 6 again.

Yep first and last time I watch him

pretty sure st.MP frame trap after a LP bolt (on hit) with laura works 8 times out of 10.

counterhit st.mp, cr.mp xx mp bolt on counter hits is fun

I’ve hit a few dudes already with

No claw St hp counter hit xx claw apply St hp xx claw removal c mp xx ex fba Izuna

Huge damage

The other 2/10 times just command grab. Guaranteed win!
:wink:

someone tell me what is actually good with laura and what isn’t

what are her best pokes, after a blocked LP shoulder you really do have to give up pressure to a jab masher right?, how do you try and fight the neutral against characters with good pokes (poke xx backdash v-skill? randomly go in?), what are her good anti-airs, what’s one really good go-to mixup you use off fireball and how do you set it up

Alright set up down at hexters. 2 setups atm. Try and bring some ps4 sticks!

Mike c I have your bag too

The more I play her the more I think that she sucks. There’s not a single matchup that I can think “Oh this will be easy” but to answer your questions
-Best pokes are s.mk, c.mp & c.mk imo
-Yes, you frametrap yourself off a blocked elbow
-Force our way in when in neutral (still figuring this out)
-Anti air s.mp is fairly reliable
-That’s my secret for awhile

i predict:

  • changes to the local VS interface (and local VS pause menu) to let both P1 and P2 interact
  • more unkept promises about server stability
  • NO change to unlocking colors despite being the most insane thing in the history of the medium
  • NO reward for early adopters who have put up with broken beta tests and a broken launch with a smile and their pants around their ankles
  • NO alex (that is next patch but before end of march)

I kinda dig SFV’s music. Am I alone?

the couple setups i’ve been using with her are:

  • off a back throw, dash up lk or command throw on quick rise. They have 3 frames to avoid the command throw or very quickly mash a 3frame jab, if they wake up jab you can just frame trap them with lk or maybe mp? i usually just command grab them immediately after the dash on quick rise though since most people can’t avoid it.
  • st.fp xx ex thunder clap (fireball) immediately st.mk xx v skill forward will cross them under
  • st.fp xx ex thunder clap (fireball) immediately cr.fp xx v skill forward will fake a cross under
  • on hitting a lp bolt, st.mp will frame trap anything except blocking as it’s +2 on hit, then you can link into cr.mp xx special/CA
  • counterhit LP Bolt can combo into st.lk xx LP/EX Bolt follow up as well if you throw it out there randomly
  • light command throw is still in range off a tick st.lk
  • her v-trigger is actually really good, it buffs all her damage, makes everything do at least +50 stun but more importantly it increases the range on her command grabs by quite a lot… you can start tick throwing off of her medium kick which is pretty nuts.
  • her anti airs suck, best is either st.mp or get a read and do QCF+HP. She can jump back jab pretty reliantly too i guess

but as adam said i think she’s pretty bad in a lot of matchups, rashid vs laura seems horrible for her if she has no v reversal. However she’s still really fun if you can get momentum, she builds stun up sooo quickly and gets monsterous follow up damage off a stun.

Nope your not. Its so good.

Also 5 setups here

Vega is suuuuper good.
Can’t wait to see Jamie wreck mofos

Been playing VS against a guy from work who is a n00b, gives me opportunities to use other characters.

R. Mika is real fun. So scary to jump at, my goodness. But I played vega and holy shit does he ever feel up there in the ranks. Changing his move set to non-charged was a brilliantly deadly plan.

Favorite stage music is definitely Brazil, that second round jam #kreygasm

So much better than 4’s. Good seeing everyone tonight. Wish I could have stayed longer…

Yeah it was nice seeing everyone.

I gotta learn some stuff yet Derek, Sam wrecked me with fundamental Ryu today. Gotta learn claw game better.

karin is godlike, sweet jesus
