I’ve jumped onto the Laura train and just playing FT10s since ranked is a joke, I haven’t done it since 1500 lp. Only problem is there’s still characters I haven’t bumped into like FANG.
It really shouldn’t. Every other character can combo c.lk -> c.lp into damage or a knockdown with meter why not Laura? And while we’re at it make our command grab 5 frames and cancelable from normals
OK guys, since people are having trouble with what Laura can do on knockdown besides meaty here are some tips…
After MP bolt charge or forward throw you are at even frames if you dash in afterwards so you can press a stand jab if you like, if your opponent is slow to react you can get a counter hit combo into CR.MP x bolt charge.
After any sunset wheel you cannot dash in, you’re at -4 so you can meaty St HK or LP bolt charge. If they’re sleeping you can catch them with a meaty ex ssw if they quick rise. HP bolt charge has the same options.
Back throw is where she shines, you’re +2 after a dash in so you get a meaty button or SSW which will beat 4 frame jabs because of priority.
My negativity has gotten out of hand, so I’ll try to turn that frown upside down. I’m working on a video where I’m compiling all of her current tech, and it includes some new meaty setups I’ve found. I think it’s good to have it all in one place so we can concentrate on new stuff rather than reiterating what is already known.
Hit 6200 league points with laura yesterday, and I gotta say, it’s really not as hard to win with her as these threads are implying. I don’t even think I’ve really been doing anything truly special. The only truly annoying matchup is chun, and even that isn’t that bad. All this complaining just reminds me of the abel forums until people started getting good with him.
I got to 4500LP so far. Kinda feel like I’ve hit a brick wall, though. I think I let certain characters abuse me too much, especially a Bison or Mika going absolutely HAM.
Would be interested in checking out a few of your matches to see if I can learn anything. I have a feeling some of the other top Laura players are a bit fraudulent if you get what I mean.
Including all of her tech in one video was way too much work to do in one go, so I did one containing, afaik, all her meaties on every knockdown for starters.
If I missed anything, let me know. I’ll edit the video later on to include other stuff, options after LP bolt etc.
edit: fuck. the backthrow one is wrong. It should be f.dash, st.LK and extended with st.HP, st.MP on no recovery. st.LP only works if you fuck up. reediting
