Laura General Thread: Who The Hell Is Sean?

Wait…is st hk super cancellable?

StHK CC THEN Super or just regular St.HK then Super? I dont think you can do that with regular because the opponent can just jump out of it regardless if you hit them or not.

unless they changed something @los @zektback @OceanSalt

Man I didn’t know that! Going to practice it for sure

I knew it from day 1 but I barely did it because I ended up using the meter for other things. I’d try to use VT after st. HK to be sure not to waste the CA and to increase the damage of the CA.

Thanks for sharing bruh
I see you are just a Laura that looks out for herself

I’m jk

?? VT decreases damage on CAs.

Unless you meant adding extra hits, except you’re probably not going to do that unless it’s either a CC or you’re much closer than st. HK’s optimum range.

Laura’s V trigger increases the damage on her CA. 350 to 370.

I’m talking about in a combo. The damage increase is negated by the extra scaling that a VT cancel causes.

st. HK -> CA (405 damage, 90% scaling on CA)
st. HK -> VT -> CA (378 damage, 80% scaling on CA due to VT)

Yeah, you need to pop V-Trigger early to benefit from the damage increase.

I like doing st. HP (CC), Medium or Heavy Clap (depends on the character), cr.HP -> CA as a punish. Feels like an extended combo but doesn’t need V-Trigger so it does more damage.

That’s CC though
You can whiff punish stHK >CA without CC

Yeah, sometimes manage to land that when Karin whiffs a charged V-Skill. Definitely a good tool.

Was just mentioning the other combo because there was some talk about her CA damage output.

So…Laura got no Evo love at all??? :expressionless:

EDIT: Well from the chart on EH, she did have 4 people playing her (notable). Our boy Will2Pac got beat by a Necalli, and the other 3 were taken out by Ken, Ryu, and another Necalli.

Yeah, it’s as we feared. She just has too many uneven matchups to make it very far at that level. I’ve said it before (and I’ll say it again) she’s close, very close, just needs a few minor tweaks.

The only Laura I’ve seen on stream not losing was Wolfkrone beating up a Nash player. His general strategy seemed to be going in as hard as possible and not leaving the other guy any time to think, which obviously stopped working against his later opponents.

That being said, Laura is far from being the only one left behind. All other grapplers except Mika didn’t make it to top 32; Rashid and Bison were absent too. Top 8 was pretty much just a fight for who had the best Nash or Chun.

Oil King did end up tied in 13th with Rashid. To find Laura representation, one needs to venture outside of the top 50. In any case, I agree with you that she isn’t the only character who needs adjustment.

Can’t argue with that. Looking at that chart it’s ridiculous how many Necallis, Chuns, Ryus, Kens, and Nashs there were.

At least we should be getting help on the next patch…

Right? :s

What kind of help do you guys think she needs if they buff her in a future patch? I don’t think she needs a wakeup option (reversal/escape/etc) as I think that’s what will keep her honest.

  • fireball buffs: less startup, EX version stays on the screen if she’s hit
  • 5f command grab or more damage for her non-VT grabs
  • an actually useful VT
  • a divekick… no ok just kidding
