I watched a lot of top Laura videos. The key is to always get damage from her pokes. Counter hit lights combo into cr mp. Can't be afraid to be reckless with some overheads. You also need to learn her meaty set ups. Gotta play footsies without hitting a ton of buttons. I don't think you can really play her safe but you also can't just go in all willy nilly. You really have to be patient and explode when given the chance. Don't be scared to burn meter in order to keep pressure. More Laura s need to use cr mk into ex elbow and cr mk into the fireballs. Her anti air is also special cancel able and needs to be explored more.


Really bad match ups Chun. Vega. Gief. I also think Ryu Ken Necali Karin 5.5 to 4.5. Everyone else is even or in her favor.

True that. Big part of excelling with Laura is having a good read on your opponent. She definitely isn't the safest character, but her moveset offers her quite a bit of versatility in play. And I agree with utilizing meter being a big part of her game. It's rare that I'm hitting folks with Super cuz I don't even need it and just get better positioning and dominance using her EX moves instead.

Is cr mk even confirmable into ex elbow? Doesn't seem like you have enough time. I guess if throw it just as your opponent enters within range you could buffer it as a sort of option select it could work.

Yeah for meter usage i guess its best spent on ex fireballs for pressure and ex elbows for reads, escapes, punishing fireballs.

Have you found any use for her f.HP? I throw out a bunch of them in matches but most don't land. Is it just good on the opponent's back dash or what?

Yeah, it's pretty confirmable if you know your c. mk is going to land. It's just like doing the weak one, just you hit the other button/s instead.

Also, I've told you plenty of F. HP's usage breh. Keep up.

I meant confirmable more as in if you don't know if it's going to land. Like if you actually react and follow up depending on if they blocked the cr.mk. Seems like a decent little combo to use if you need a quick punish though.

I forgot whatever F. HP stuff you told me bro. I guess I need to takes notes.

Well if you're using it as a "quick punish" like you said, then you would be utilizing it in a situation where you KNOW you would land the hit, which would be you confirming that, lol. Otherwise, you'd just be fishing for it in neutral, with potentially using it as a whiffed buffer option select, like you mentioned before, tho you would never want to do that with her EX elbow or the medium one due to them being basically asking to be punished if you're doing it w/o confirming it's going to hit and them potentially blocking. It's one thing if you know you are going to counter hit them playing footsies and decide to do (which as mentioned before, you'd have to have a good read on your opponent to know what and when they're going to present said opportunity), but unless you have that read, you better not do it so haphazardly and are better off cancelling into either light bolt or her v-skill dash cancel.

F. Hp is for offensive movement, positioning and select hit/counter hit situations. Off counter hit, you can mount quite the offensive with it, depending on what your meters look like.

F. HP on counter hit links to cr mp. But use it to close distance. Also if they block it and you do the follow up HP just cancel to ex fire ball, that's some new shyt I been doing. I see other people use it to get in then just V trigger.

Also if they quick rise off of Forward throw, back throw or your elbow move it hits meaty and beats all moves (even 3 frame jabs) only gets beat by invincible moves. If the don't quick rise do cr mp stand mp and the st mp hits so meaty you can combo in cr hp.

F. HP on counter hit links to cr mp (or S. MP, which can be sequenced into her target combo into everything else that that leads into). But use it to close distance. Also if they block it and you do the follow up HP just cancel to ex fire ball, that's some new shyt I been doing. I see other people use it to get in then just V trigger.

The 2nd hit cancels on block? I could've sworn it didn't. Perhaps only on EX moves?

My bad your right, training mode had me fooled.
