Laura General Thread: Who The Hell Is Sean?

[d3v]

Oh didn’t realise a new Laura thread was up. I’ll just quote the theory from GD thread.

Street Fighter V Lounge "We on South Central crack addict status"

I get the feeling that her v-trigger adds lightning to her grab style knockdowns which induces a hard knockdown state. I believe you can tell which moves are affected because outside of v-trigger she still seems to have a slight electrical affect at the end of the grab. You can see this at 0:16, 0:21, 0:23, 0:25, 0:32, 0:37, 0:41.

Unfortunately every other time she performed the move in the video, the vid cut before we could see how the oki situation played out, but the post-move bounce in the v-trigger version is very suspect to me. It all seems to lead to making her fireball useful for oki purposes. Why would she have a fireball that really only shines when placed as a meaty when getting up, when there are barely any hard knockdowns in the game? If her v-trigger lets her set up that fireball, then you get a scenario where a character can set up strong okizeme pressure, but doesn’t gain access to it the whole round.

Please no. Let’s keep that shit in SFIV.

This thread needs a new name, i suggest “Choque do Trovão” could work.

People aren’t saying that there aren’t stupid looking supers in the Street Fighter series. But that this is one of the stupidest ones.

It’s one of the ones where you look at it and can only laugh at how silly it looks.

Any Super that uses the wall on stages with no walls look goofy, Laura’s is ok, nothing impressive but gets the job done (better than a simple suplex at least).

Shock Thunder?

Her CA is great! Its a blanka ball tribute. Anyone who disses her CA from now on is definitely woman hating scumbag hoopleheads. Laura is lovely.

Do I need to keep listing all the supers in the series that rape the laws of physics?

It’s not about physics. It’s about looking dumb as fuck.

Being a “shout out” to Blanka doesn;t give it a pass for looking so dumb.

Matsuda style must have some type of electric powers and she just applied it to her Jiu Jutsu hence the name. I know Sean didn’t have electric powers, but he could if he comes back. Just like Ken having flaming fireballs.

I’ll say it here, I like her stuff so far, but her CA is ridiculous. Too over the top.

Matsuda is Sean’s last name. I agree with you on her CA. It’s the only thing I didn’t like about her trailer. It’s my least favorite CA thus far.

Have to agree.

Bouncing around the stage just looks a little silly.

[Genistar]

I like hit grabs they’re fun to do. I kind of hope they’re like nina’s.

[otori]

She’s a mix of poison and juri with some blanka tossed in. The character design is quite over the top and not my cup of tea, but I’m looking forward to the gameplay.

Brazilian model allesandra ambrosio might be the inspiration. Obviously Laura has darker hair and different hairstyle.

Elite Model Look

Edit: Just found this chick, Alice Dellal. Not at purty as Ambrosio, but seems to always be sporting a particular hairstyle. Ahem… food for thought.

Edit 2: This one is actually closer, Emanuela de Paula, has that sharp chin thang going on.

Yes, I know there is a hot women thread in the image mishmash section, just an excuse to post pics of pretty ladies =)

Even in the reveal trailer her fireball dissipates before it’s even over the other character as they’re rising from knockdown. The range seems just a bit too short. Hopefully varying strengths of the fireball go farther distances so that you can truly force the opponent to wake up into block for mix ups.

Oh god kill it with fire

[spliffy_baz]

Character looks good in the reveal trailer, I have some interest in her for a 2nd or 3rd character since she does look interesting and fun. The best of the new comers so far imo.

[javert]

If those grabs weren’t strike ones then my question is: where does she differ from Mika? Looks to me that she is faster albeit weaker. I can imagine her grab being unblockable at the cost of being really slow (like 8 frames of startup) so that the only practical way of landing it is after cancelable normals, either within a combo or a frame trap. Would remind me a little of Hakan in the sense that she would have enough mobility to not be lamed out by anyone (“hello Dhalsim, have they told you that your worst matchup is against a grappler?”) but in exchange her grabs aren’t guaranteed for geting close.

I hope HiyaMaya’s theory about V-Trigger setups is true. Managing that meter and getting some additional mixups as a reward would give more tools to play up with and would revive the hype that the lackluster reveal just killed.

[DevilJin_01]

It seems people are tending to figure that the abundance of grapplers will have them overlapping styles, but I’m sure Laura will have quite a different feel from R.Mika. Especially with a projectile that is utilized completely differently from every other one in the game.

[Lemres]

Her fireballs look pretty tricky to deal with. The setups you could make with that thing…

[BraboChoke]

A little Rousey

A little Kyra

And a little Leticia

The way her projectile is used reminds me a lot of how Poison’s HP fireball is used, I wonder what sort of recovery it is or if it can be comboed into off of anything.

[Rioting_Soul]

It looks weird how her grabs are mostly just her falling into a submission. From the early pics and knowing she’s BJJ I expected a lot of subs but I was hoping for more of a natural transition. I think I would have preferred her to have multi-throws(command grab rekkas).

Oh yeah, there were two other leaks. Her first alt and the return of the car bonus stage.
