I’m like 90% sure that most of the stuff about laura that people dont like have been there since day 1 lol
It just seems worse now because more people are actually using her
Before, Rog pretty thoroughly destroyed Mika. Mainly because his footsies were better and if you tried to tick throw him he could just answer right back with his Kick Target combo (LK<MK<HK). You could argue that he’s free on wakeup until he has super but Mika is free on wakeup too and she’s even more free if he lands his V-Trigger.
Now the match is almost a lock for Rog. I’m willing to say that’s a 7/3 match in his favor. It is just impossibly hard to get in on him.
Nah guys Laura was bad, it’s not like she had nasty mixups, plus on block mids, good AAs, ambiguous shit, a really good jump button in J.MK, a good v reversal, etc…
This is all theory since we never saw players in the only region that actually used her do work and get results , too, we also didn’t see a player get 13th at Capcom Cup with her.
Bad all around.
Then again people call Wolfkrone the premier laura player when Mr Crimson got 13th at Capcom Cup while losing basically every match where he used Sim, if I remember correctly.
I think the character needed some slight buffs but jesus christ man. She definitely did not her EX Grab to go through fireballs and she didn’t need to be able to combo off of V-Skill overhead in V-Mode. She could already go through fireballs with her EX Bolt and she could already combo off of V-Skill if used as a meaty on wakeup.
Or just nerf that LP Bolt. That move is fucking gay. I don’t care how anyone tries to defend that move. She can confirm off of almost any button into it, it lets her 50/50 you on hit, and it’s -2 on block. If any other grappler had a move like that there would be rioting in the streets but Laura snuck under the radar because everyone kept repeating the meme where’s she bad.
