SFV: Laura General Discussion Thread

[KingKhrystopher]

This is a thread open to all, to discuss the Queen known only as Laura. BnBs, Match-Ups, all of that.

Is Laura's CA unblockable?

its a command grab

 

[Rip Torn]

Is Laura's CA unblockable?

Yes, but you can jump it post CA flash animation.

 

[ForeverKing]

I haven't played all the matchups yet, but so far I think Birdie and Chun Li are the toughest. The outrange Laura and the neutral game. But I feel like Laura can decent vs anyone with good patience and eventually knocking your opponent down

 

[oaoo94]

my bnb is MP > MK > V-Trigger > HP > QCB 2P'S > QCF HP

 

[ILuvFightGames]

Yes, but you can jump it post CA flash animation.

So if you're blocking then you can easily evade it?

 

[ILuvFightGames]

my bnb is MP > MK > V-Trigger > HP > QCB 2P'S > QCF HK

So the QCF HK actually lands after her super connects?

my bad meant to put QCF hp

 

[NoobHunter420]

what's the best pressure combo?
best anti-air?
btw is fhp>hp safe?

 

[Rip Torn]

Yes, unless you already pushed a button or she combos into it.

 

[Rip Torn]

1. LK, LP qcf LP
2. MP or qcf HP
3. No, but you can do a meaty f HP after a LP+LK throw and it is +3, so MP would be a frame trap.

I feel like Chun, Birdie, Cammy and Ryu are her hardest MUs, Ryu being the easiest of her hardest (if that makes sense).

idk i feel like karin's her hardest mu

seems like it anyway to me

Karin is a tough one but Chun Li is just booty butt cheeks.

 

[Rip Torn]

Vega and Bison are also pretty bad if you ask me. I don't think she has many winning MU's to be honest. Just 5-5's and 4-6's.

Yeah, I just listed her very hard ones IMO. Zangief, Vega, Karin, Bison, Fang and others are bad too IMO. I can't think of a single MU that feels in her favor TBH but let's see how it turns out to be.

 

[Afk Skinny]

How often do you guys go for her v skill overhead? I want to use it more but only do it after throwing out a fireball occasionally. Is it worth using?

It's a gimmick unless you do it with a fireball covering you and even then, I barely use it. Reactable, neutral on hit, doesn't lowcrush and punisheable on block.

Do you mean the BnB shown in Laura's release trailer? >

 

[Reauxbot]

Alright. Since this is a SFV related post I'm gonna ask this:
Whose a good starter character?
Please don't say Ryu. I don't really like the guy much.

Never watched any of the characters release trailers lol

What Sunfire said. I really only use the overhead V-skill after certain block pressure I always see my opponent poking out of.

For example my main go to pressure is standing medium punch (+3 on block) into crouching medium punch (5 frame start-up can't be poked out of, also +2 on block)

After the crouching medium punch on block you have some options. I'll go for sweep sometimes, because the push back from the cr mp makes the sweep decently safe and when you're at + the sweep beats alot of things. When I noticed them respecting the sweep afterwards I cancel the crouching medium punch into the V-skill forward dash and immediately command throw as soon as I recover from the V-skill. Once I notice my opponent mashing or jumping to get away from the command grab, I'll cancel the crouching medium punch into the overhead V-skill which usually beats mashing and jumping

Nash. Has a lot of target combos similar to mk

 

[B. Shazzy]

no way does having target combos make any character like mkx.

pick ken or cammy
