She’s got far range normals, special moves that move her forward (that look safe on block), command dashes, and normal dashes. That’s plenty of stuff to compensate for the slow walk speed. It’s a lot better than what Nash has for his slow ass walk speed.
Anyone here think Laura/bitties is Blanka’s daughter?
Brazilian CHECK
Arial specials evolving the whole body CHECK
Electricity CHECK(lol? wut?)
Around the right age to be her father CHECK
Maybe a story arc with her and sean trying to find blanka their father.
Man I hope Sean stays out of this game.
Blanka’s daughter? How in the absolute fuck? Blanka has been green since the SF Alpha days.
He was born in '66 though, but this makes him only 24 at the time of Alpha. Unless he concieved Laura and Sean while he was in his mid-teens (Speculation as neither Sean nor Laura’s age is known), it’s incredibly unlikely.
No. No one does.
I think I’m all in on the main train, need to see all normals asap
Doubt any of those specials are safe. The elbow special only got tagged by low shorts, but it was pretty consistent. That’s not a good sign for safety.
Also I’d say her normals are pretty stubby, even if she has some that reach further.
Judging from her moves, she’s pure rushdown into knockdown offense.
The Trailer was pretty hype for me , but ended badly when I saw the Critical Art (That seems to be a reoccurring thing for me for some character trailers).
Did it really have to be so silly looking compared to the rest of the trailer ? Usually you’d reserve that sort of super for a more comical character , no?
Well I change my vote that Zangief had the worst looking Critical Art … or at least change my vote Rashid had the most silly looking.
From the stills , I was expecting a multi-grapple/multi-throw super … or even a prolonged shocking submission hold … but no … of course I’d be wrong … of course it was going to be cartoon rolling across the edges of the screen … that’s what you get for underestimating , Ono.
Oh well , everything else seems great though.
2 busty female grappler types at launch ? Talk about Spoiled for choice !!! … lol
Her cr.mk looks like it has fantastic range
Her English voice actress made her sound kind of ditzy. Boom! (Insert rest of the Intro Quote). Critical Art activation - ‘Punishment time!’.
I am suprised she is Sean’s sister though … she wins points with me for that too , since Sean is my favourite Shoto … lol …
ma nigga
We could have gone with a portuguese title for the thread…
“Who the hell is Sean?” can be translated as:
“Quem diabos é Sean?”
(sounds lamer than in english)
or just:
“Quem é Sean?”
Personally I think something like “Sai da frente, irmãozinho!” (“Get out of the way, little brother!”) would sound better
Aww.
Sean has an Onee-san.
I like the concept of the character, but yeah the slow walk speed and eh normals turned me off from her. Not into the slow walk speed, SFIV style run around and do stuff type characters anymore. Wanna have more control over the very specific parts of the screen I’m in. Characters like Laura seem to be more about just crowding certain spots of space very quickly which is very SFIVish. Chun and Karin give seem interesting enough in and out of the footsie game to stick with for now.
I do like her projectile element though. Unique for a grappler.
Her sweep look pretty good, it seems to have solid range and looks like it might be REALLY low profile like Juri’s crMK.
I didn’t see any B-W-H measurements on the SFV site
So dope that Laura is Sean’s big sister. Hopefully we see Ken’s brightest pupil in this game some time in the future 
Edit: Don’t mock me Dev, I can have hope >:(
First thought of watching that, is that she’s like Abel with a projectile.
