Summary

Bio

Hailing from Brazil and sister to Sean, Laura seeks to promote her fighting Matsuda Jiu-Jitsu style and grow her Matsuda dojo. She travels the world seeking strong fighters to train with and join her dojo.

Why Pick Laura?

With her command grabs, EX Thunder Clap, and dashes Laura is one of the scariest mix up characters in the game. Unique to most grapplers is her Thunder Clap, a short ranged projectile that can be charged for extra hits and travel a further distance; the EX version can travel nearly full screen and causes a juggle on hit. Against slower characters this can let her control space and walk the opponent down, though it's too slow to be used like a Hadoken or similar moves. Once she is in close, she can create incredibly scary high/low/command grab left/right mixups with her V-Skill 1 or 2 and EX Thunder Clap. This can quickly lead to stuns where she has some of the highest damage combos in the game, or death for the opponent. While her buttons are not the longest range, many such as stand LK and crMP have great priority that can make counter poking effective and lead into Bolt Charge and lets her start her mixups. Her EX Bolt Charge is a far reaching armored move that can quickly power through projectiles and ranged attack, and having a 3f jab with good range and 4f stand LK with long range and great priority can help her get out of pressure. However her walk speed is a bit below average and buttons can be slow recovery, meaning footsie characters such as Chun-Li or Kolin can be difficult to get in on and start mixing, and to use her most effectively takes time to learn her various setups.

Notes:

• CH Damage and stun is calculated by multiplying base values by 1.2. For multi-hitting moves this usually only applies to first hit; if only second hit connects it will get the x1.2 benefits.
• For Crush Counters: J = Juggle, C = Crumple, KD = Knockdown
• Chip damage for normals refers to grey life inflicted

V System

V Reversal

Double Slap is a 17f V-Reversal. Laura puts her hands together and smacks the opponent away, giving them a good zap.

V Skill 1

Laura's V-Skill 1, Volty Line, gives Laura access to a command dash by pressing b+MP+MK or f+MP+MK and a new overhead attack with MP+MK. Both can be canceled into from any normal besides HK and crHK. After a dash, continuing to hold the button with automatically go into the overhead attack while tapping will just perform the dash. The back dash can also be canceled into the forward dash, or Sunset wheel. The dash is in a counter hit state during the entirety of it, and has no invincibility.

V Skill 2

V-Skill 2 is Volty Sprink. Laura leaps into the air, which can be used for corpse hopping or side switching with Thunder Clap out. The leap itself cannot hit grounded opponents, but does cause a juggle state against airborne making it useful after her MP > MK target combo. She can also follow up with 2 moves: Thunder Spike and Heavy Heel. Thunder Spike (P) fires a thunder clap at a downwards angle and slightly pushes Laura back. Thunder Spike is different from Thunder Clap, meaning both can be out at the same time. Heavy Heel has Laura kick the opponent with her heel, and is -2 on block or +3 on hit allowing LP to link afterwards. With VT2 activated, performing the jump after the dodge becomes projectile invincible.

V Trigger 1

Spark Show is a 3 bar V-Trigger that powers up all of Laura's specials with slightly more damage and stun. Thunder Clap charges much faster, and EX Version travels much further. Thunder Claps can also be canceled into V-Skill, which consumes 50% of the remaining V-Trigger. See above for details on how it affects each V-Skill. With V-Skill 1, the dash travels further in both direction (which can affect EX Thunder Clap mixups), the overhead becomes +4 allowing it to combo afterwards, and any Thunder Clap can be canceled into Volty Line. With VS2, Laura can charge Thunder Spikes which greatly increases their advantage on hit and block.

V Trigger 2

Spark Stance is a 2 bar V-Trigger that allows Laura to perform Matsuda Sway and Shock Choke. Matsuda Sway is a dodge that is fully invincible (except to throws) from frames 3-33. It can be canceled into Shock Choke, or either V-Skills. Both V-Skills are projectile invulnerable when canceled into, and V-Skill 1's Linear Movement can be canceled into Shock Choke when canceled into from Sway (HP+HK xx f+MP+MK xx HP+HK). Shock Choke (HP+HP from Matsuda Sway or Sway xx VS1 Dash) is a 7f command grab that leaves the opponent staggered at -19, allowing Laura to follow up with another attack such as f+HP > HP xx HP Bolt Charge. The command grab does not have any invulnerability. It will also auto-correct if the opponent changes changes sides with Laura during the Sway. Shock Choke consumes 40% of the V-Gauge when used.
